About the Author: Jim Pierce is a retired insurance executive. His political roots include family ties to three American Presidents.

“Treachery” is historical fiction about the first eighteen months of America’s “War between the States”. The Northern troops were hapless and results amazingly lopsided in the early days of the conflagration. The story develops a theory as to why that may have been the case.

"The Beginning" places the reader next to Prime Minister Winston Churchill as he steers England through its darkest hours in 1940 and 1941. This is a story you will not want to miss!

Historical fiction serves two purposes; the reader can learn about a past time, place, and people, while simultaneously enjoying the story being told.
