Tomáš Sedláček o této knize básnických epigramů napsal: "Michaelovi Marchovi se povedl zdrcující kousek - jako cizinec vystihl pražský hrdý patos, kterému vévodí napůl moudré skvrny konverzací ze dna pivních tácků, a přesto na jeho verších není pivního nic, jsou elegantní a jemné, točivé a příhodné. T ančí mezi filosofií a mává básnictvím, které sám podává v ekonomicky šetrných a úsporných dávkách, tak jak to máme rádi: stručně." Dvojjazyčné provedení.
An introduction to Germany, including its geography, culture, and history.
"In July of 1967, a rebellious college dropout finds himself serving with the Eleventh Armored Cavalry Regiment in Vietnam. He is not your prototypical draftee. His irreverent demeanor, offbeat sense of humor and optimistic attitude help to buoy him, as he faces the horrors of war while keeping a watchful eye on the churning turbulence of change blowing across America. As friends become nightly news statistics, he has no choice but to absorb the pain and continue to fight; fight for his own and for his brothers' survival. Is there any meaning in all this death and destruction? Does God actually exist? One must be patient. The answers are revealed in due time."--page 4 of cover
