MAN OF WAR: MY ADVENTURES IN THE WORLD OF HISTORICAL REENACTMENT Confederates in the Attic meets The Year of Living Biblically in a funny and original memoirIn Arkansas, there is a full-scale Roman fort with catapults and ramparts. In Colorado, nearly a hundred men don Nazi uniforms to fight the battle of Stalingrad. On the St. Lawrence River, a group of dedicated history buffs row more slowly than they can walkalong with author Charlie Schroeder, who is sweating profusely and cursing the day he got a book deal.From encounters with wildlife and frostbite to learning more than he ever expected about guns, ammo, and buttons, Schroeder takes readers to the front lines of bloodless battles in order to show exactly how much the past has to teach us all about our present (and explain why anyone would choose to wear wool in a heat wave).ABOUT THE AUTHOR:Charlie Schroeder is a writer, public radio producer and actor.

Radio stories he has produced have been featured on NPR, including Weekend America, Only a Game, On the Media and Soundcheck. He lives in Los Angeles, California.
