Craig A. Morgan Knihy

Milostný dopis městu Kladnu a jeho obyvatelům z pera Američana z Chicaga, který pracoval dvanáct let v Kladně jako učitel.

Craig Morgan’s memoir is a powerful and moving account of his life, co-written with Jim DeFelice, author of the bestselling American Sniper. A country music icon, army veteran, father, and outdoorsman, Morgan reveals stories even his most dedicated fans may not know. In 1989, as U.S. news outlets announced the end of Operation Just Cause, he was part of an elite team conducting a covert operation in Panama. Beyond his musical achievements, Morgan has served as a soldier working with the CIA, fought against sex trafficking in Thailand, and embodies the values he sings about. His journey began at age ten, performing on stage with his father's band, but he first trained as a paratrooper. After earning numerous military distinctions, he left active duty to pursue a music career, supported by his wife and part-time jobs during challenging times. His breakthrough came with the heartfelt ballad "Almost Home," followed by hits like "Redneck Yacht Club" and the poignant "The Father, My Son, and the Holy Ghost," a tribute to his late son Jerry that has touched millions. Throughout his life and career, Morgan's commitment to duty and family remains unwavering, inspiring others with his dedication to God, family, and country.

"Kladno Tales" (Kladenske Povidky) is a collection of short essays taken from the views and experiences of an American high school English teacher living in the town of Kladno, a former industrial town located 20km from Prague in the Czech Republic. He writes about local people and places as well as about his teaching experience and his relationships with the students. Kladno Tales is very entertaining light reading which gives the reader an idea of what it's like for a man to integrate into a foreign society, become accepted as a local and after some time feel more at home in the foreign society than in the one he grew up with.
