Each of them knows that it will almost certainly be a futile act--but to them, the alternative is unacceptable. This suspenseful story follows the men's thoughts, memories, and emotions as they await the inevitable--and steel themselves for a battle that may be the last they ever fight. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Originally published decades after Taylor Caldwell's death, this is a deeply moving portrait of those who resist tyrants, and of the distinction between a military victory and a moral one. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"A wonderful storyteller.\" --A. Scott Berg, National Book Award-winning author of \u003ci\u003eMaxwell Perkins: Editor of Genius\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTaylor Caldwell (1900-1985) was one of the most prolific and widely read authors of the twentieth century. Born Janet Miriam Holland Taylor Caldwell in Manchester, England, she moved with her family to Buffalo, New York, in 1907. She started writing stories when she was eight years old and completed her first novel when she was twelve. Married at age eighteen, Caldwell worked as a stenographer and court reporter to help support her family and took college courses at night, earning a bachelor of arts degree from the University of Buffalo in 1931. She adopted the pen name Taylor Caldwell because legendary editor Maxwell Perkins thought her debut novel, \u003ci\u003eDynasty of Death \u003c\/i\u003e(1938), would be better received if readers assumed it were written by a man. In a career that spanned five decades, Caldwell published forty novels, many of which were \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestsellers. Her best-known works include the historical sagas \u003ci\u003eThe Sound of Thunder \u003c\/i\u003e(1957), \u003ci\u003eTestimony of Two Men \u003c\/i\u003e(1968), \u003ci\u003eCaptains and the Kings \u003c\/i\u003e(1972), and \u003ci\u003eCeremony of the Innocent \u003c\/i\u003e(1976), and the spiritually themed novels \u003ci\u003eThe Listener \u003c\/i\u003e(1960) and \u003ci\u003eNo One Hears But Him \u003c\/i\u003e(1966). \u003ci\u003eDear and Glorious Physician \u003c\/i\u003e(1958), a portrayal of the life of St. Luke, and \u003ci\u003eGreat Lion of God\u003c\/i\u003e (1970), about the life of St. Paul, are among the bestselling religious novels of all time. Caldwell's last novel, \u003ci\u003eAnswer as a Man\u003c\/i\u003e (1981), hit the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestseller list before its official publication date. She died at her home in Greenwich, Connecticut, in 1985.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Open Road Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50920443576594,"sku":"9781504095990","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_f66c8d98-716a-4ab1-804c-ae75d026e04c.jpg?v=1738904721","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/unto-all-men-a-novella-9781504095990","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
