This powerful novel is the story of four cadets who have become bloodbrothers. Together they will encounter the hell of vicious bullying & the rabid, raunchy & dangerously secretive atmosphere of an arrogant & proud military institute. They will experience the violence. The passion. The rage. The friendship. The loyalty. The betrayal.

Together they will brace themselves for the brutal transition to manhood... & one of them will not survive.

Based on Conroy's own experiences at The Citadel Military school in Charleston, The Lords of Discipline is a remarkable novel.

The Ottoman Empire has exerted a long, strong pull on Western minds & hearts. Over six hundred years the Empire swelled & declined; the royal line bent, but never broke, from Osman, born in a desert tent around 1280 to Abdul Mecid, dying in a Paris flat in 1942. Its precipitous rise from a dusty fiefdom in the foothills of Anatolia to a power which ruled on the Danube & the Euphrates stunned contemp-oraries. For three hundred years it held sway & Istanbul had the richest court in Europe. But the decline was prodigious, protracted, & total. Dramatic & passionate, detailed & alive, comic & gruesome, Lords of the Horizons charts the swirling history from the first campaigns to the Charge of the Light Brigade, from the Crusades to the Dardenelles, & brings to life innumerable aspects of Ottoman life, caravans carrying parcels of spice & bags of gold, Western emissaries witnessing executions, distant sentries on far frontiers, jewels, meals, shadow plays & stray dogs. A history, a journey, & a world all in one. ...

As parents, we play an enormous role in shaping our children's attitude to food, & we'd all love to instil healthy eating habits in them from as early an age as possible. But I know from my own experiences as a mum that providing children with nutritious, tasty & easy-to-make meals
- often on a budget
- is no easy task.
That's why I've joined forces with leading nutritionalist Anita Bean to create more than 100 delicious but simple recipes to make your life easier & to help you give your child a healthy & balanced diet.
There are loads of ideas in this book for feeding babies & toddlers alike, as well as meal planners to take the stress out of feeding your child. For this revised & updated edition we've also come up with lots of fun new ideas for children's party food as well as inspiring suggestions for luchboxes & healthy treats & snacks.
I hope these recipes will prove as popular with your children as they have with mine.
