I flew LOH’s with Stan Corvin and the Warlords in Vietnam. Great book, read it in two days. I could see all the locations and people in the book. Great and accurate descriptions of situations and events. Getting copies for my kids and grandchildren. Thanks Stan.

Review from Twilight of Royalty →
I’ve always been intrigued by the lives of royalty, and loved this inside look at the stories around the rise and fall of deposed monarchs.

The royalty stories that were told were very interesting and they gave a new image to those people. I was attracted to this book first..
This is such a well-researched story that it feels so much like nonfiction I had to double check to see that it wasn’t. This gives you an account of Wakulla county Florida in and around the time of the civil war. Coming from a boy who was first was too young to join the war..
