Download or read book War Journey written by Malarvan and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2013-05-15 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘The child you threatened once, the young shoot you stepped on, the Tamil you teased, is standing with a gun in front of you.’ This short diary was recovered from Malaravan’s kit after he was killed in action in 1992, when barely twenty. In it, he recounts his unit’s journey to Maankulam, the island’s granary, to fight a critical battle where they routed the Lankan military. The LTTE’s planning and tactics, the fervour and camaraderie of the young Tigers, and the actual combat are minutely chronicled. As a foil to the violence, Malaravan brings out the beauty of the Tamil forest and countryside and the humanity and support of the common people for them, despite their suffering under army rule. Bittersweet, fresh and lyrical at times, War Journey is a testament to the Tamil longing for a homeland and the wider conflict that once engulfed the island.

Book Synopsis A Wartime Journey Revisited by : Ian and Sandie Schagen
Download or read book A Wartime Journey Revisited written by Ian and Sandie Schagen and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Wartime Journey Revisited is the extraordinary blend of two accounts of the same journey, a generation removed. From father to son (and wife), the parallel accounts follow the same path seventy two years apart, both equally moving. It will appeal to history buffs, readers who love road-stories and those that enjoy a really good tale (or two!) In 1943, a young Dutchman, Pieter Schagen, fled from the Nazis. Travelling in secret, he journeyed through Holland, Belgium, France and crossed the Pyrenees. After imprisonment in Spain, he finally reached Gibraltar, and from there travelled on to Britain, where he flew for the RAF. 54 years later, Piet wrote an account of his travels for the family, titling it An Odyssey through Occupied Europe in 1943. Both lively and quirky, and horrifying in parts, it gives a glimpse of the difficulties and dangers he encountered, and the kind people who helped him at their own risk. In 2015, Piet’s son Ian fulfilled a long-standing desire to follow in his father’s footsteps. Accompanied by his wife Sandie, he traced his father’s route, aiming to find the places mentioned in Piet’s book and (if possible) descendants of those kind people who helped him. Ian and Sandie succeeded beyond their wildest expectations. The journey led them across five countries, to large cities and sprawling, remote farms. The book speaks of their excitement when they found places exactly matching Piet’s description, their occasional frustrations, and some truly inspiring and amazing triumphs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus urges us to be "a light to the world." Helen Donovan takes that command seriously, especially in the darkest of times. Helen's journey through life ran parallel to the rise and fall of the Third Reich in Germany. Raised under Nazi tyranny, Helen experienced firsthand the terror of air raids and the sound of bombs falling outside. Despite fear and violence, Helen's light never dimmed thanks to her faith.

Helen reveals a time that may soon be forgotten as a whole generation slowly passes into eternity. She hopes to keep the memories alive and warn against the trap of dictatorship in the future. Leaning heavily on Jesus, Helen shares her story--or, perhaps, "His-story"--inspiring others to remain strong in adversity with God's help.
