In Conrad Kenneth Crease's The Desert Baron: Friedrich: A Warrior for All Seasons, readers are introduced to a man whose Teutonic ancestry and inherent compassion brought honor and respect to himself and his country. Baron Friedrich Kress von Kressenstein's stellar leadership of the Turks in the Mesopotamian Theater led to dramatic disorder of their British enemies. His role in the escape of the German ships Goeben and Breslau makes for a fascinating read, as do his heroic efforts to save the Armenian population from Turkish genocide. In 1923, as the Chief of Arms in the Ministry of Defense, von Kress was instrumental in quelling the Beer Hall Putsch, Hitler's first major attempt to take control. The author, a von Kress family descendant, delivers a fascinating and fast-moving story for history buffs, as well as readers who appreciate a mesmerizing biography.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eConrad Kenneth Crease, a tax accountant and owner of a tax consulting firm, is a second generation American with Teutonic roots in Coburg, Saxony.
