Wages of Empire by Michael J. Cooper 

 

 Historical Fiction

Date Published: November 30, 2023 


















In the summer of 1914, 16-year-old Evan Sinclair leaves home to join the Great War for Civilization. Little does he know that, despite the war raging in Europe, the true source of conflict will emerge in Ottoman Palestine, since it's from Jerusalem where the German Kaiser dreams to rule as Holy Roman Emperor. Filled with such historical figures as Gertrude Bell, T.E. Lawrence, Winston Churchill, Faisal bin Hussein, Chaim Weizmann, and Achad Ha’am, “Wages of Empire” follows Evan through the killing fields of the Western Front where he will help turn the tide of a war that is just beginning, and become part of a story still being written.

Readers who enjoy Wages of Empire should know that the story continues with the sequel, Crossroads of Empire, the second book in this series.
