Foreword
"Kalvarianhof: The Storm That Shook the World" is book two in a four-book series about two friendly German families, Catholic and Jewish. "Kalvarianhof: The Perilous Journey" covered the period of the Boxer Rebellion in China, from 1900 to 1909. This volume---"Kalvarianhof: The Storm That Shook the World"--- picks up in 1909 and extends to 1919, from pre-WWI Bavaria and German Southwest Africa, to WWI German Colonies in Africa. High adventure and romance abound, as does the blossoming friendship and loyalty between the two protagonists, soldiers Markus and Levi, and their families. "The Storm That Shook the World" follows the historical record, telling important pre-war and WWI history in little-known but significant places. The full series is a multi-generational saga from 1900 to 1955; it will appeal to readers of "Pillars of the Earth."
