Michael Bradley

Meet the men who rode with the legendary leader! For the first time, a true accounting of all of the units that rode with Civil War leader Nathan Bedford Forrest is presented in this thoroughly researched work. Fascinating character sketches of important commanders and soldiers, along with an in-depth timeline tying their actions to major events, are pulled from both primary and secondary sources. Separate chapters cover troops from Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas. A well researched and annotated bibliography provides insight into source material.

Michael Bradley, best-selling author of over 20 critically acclaimed books and a Holy Grail expert who served as a researcher for "The Da Vinci Code" and National Treasure' movies is in fine form with "Scripture". He slowly, masterfully builds tension to the breaking point as he takes us deep into a clandestine world where nothing is as it seems, a world controlled by dark forces determined to keep the true origins of the world's major religions forever concealed from prying eyes. The story: Still nursing wounds from his last great adventure, Marc Rennsalaer finds his dreams of a peaceful life are again swept aside as he becomes drawn into a deadly game pitting his wits, survivalist gadgetry and trusty Walther PPK against a determined and organised assault. This novel continues the compelling exploration into secretive religious organisations and hidden truths that began with "The Magdalene Mandala".

Bradley is back! Michael Bradley, author of the critically acclaimed 'Swords at Sunset' and other non-fiction books on the Holy Grail (he was a researcher for The Da Vinci Code movie), has now written his first novel since the 1970s, when 'Imprint' and 'The Mantouche Factor' together sold more than half-a-million copies. Now the long fiction drought is over with the release of a new novel: 'The Magdalene Mandala' draws on Bradley's enviable reputation as a Holy Grail expert to lend authenticity to a plot that twists and turns at a rapid pace, bringing together murder and intrigue, political cover-ups, the Grail...and Mary Magdalene. Added to this intoxicating literary mix are detailed descriptions of ingenious low-tech survivalist devices.

The first book chronicling the forces who served the legendary figure. Nathan Bedford Forrest has been an inspiration for biography and fiction for over a century, and those who rode with him have taken on the same mythic persona as Forrest. In this close look at his staff, author Michael Bradley proposes that Forrests stature and the stature of his men were not mutually exclusive; rather one helped shape the other. The book offers new perspectives on the fact and fiction surrounding Forrest and his men and includes the previously unpublished minutes of the association formed in 1877 to keep alive memories of when they rode with Forrest.

Michael Bradley, highly respected researcher for National Treasure and The Da Vinci Code movies and author of two prior books on the Holy Grail, completes his best-selling nonfiction trilogy with Swords at Sunset: Last Stand of North America's Grail Knights. Drawing on extensive research, the Book of Mormon and ancient artifacts (the book has many photos), Bradley contends Grail refugees fled Europe's Inquisition, spread through North America, and met their end in Niagara and Vermont.
