                Len Lamendorf's Will to Conquer Trilogy has won 5 leading awards:
In Book 1The Crouching Dragon, winner of the prestigious Benjamin Franklin Fiction Award, Lamensdorf transported his readers to post World War II French Normandy, and in Book 2, The Raging Dragon, he provides a virtual guidebook to Paris, including maps of the city, the Château of Versailles and the underground Metro—plus drawings and diagrams of aircraft. This thriller earned the CHILDREN'S CHOICE AWARD from the Children's Book Council and the International Reading Association.  Book 3, The Flying Dragon, with its wonderful tours and maps of Washington, D.C., and drawings of aircraft in the exhibits of the National Air & Space Museum was a finalist for the Foreword Magazine Book of the Year .

"I read The Crouching Dragon with my two children...our evening activity is reading as a family instead of TV. This book offered us a lot of entertainment, adventure, history, and a look into another culture. Thank you for the adventure.”
