Book Synopsis The Last Heroes by : Gary Bridson-Daley
Download or read book The Last Heroes written by Gary Bridson-Daley and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2017-11-01 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Second World War is famed for being the conflict that changed the face of warfare, and it is the last that changed the face of the world. In addition to remembering those who passed away in those dark days of war, a sincere debt of gratitude is owed to all those now in their twilight years who gave all that they had for King and Country. In this new and revised third edition, with additional material to celebrate the lives of D-Day and Arnhem veterans, Gary Bridson-Daley presents 46 of over 150 interviews he conducted with veterans over recent years, adding to the history books the words and the original poetry of those who fought and supported the war effort to ensure freedom, peace and prosperity for generations to come. From each corner of the British Isles and every armed service, from Dam Buster George 'Johnny' Johnson through to riveter Susan Jones: heroes, all.
Download or read book They Were Heroes written by David Devaney and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2015-02-27 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sergeant Major Devaney’s They Were Heroes presents moving portraits of warriors who have not been fully celebrated. His stories recognize the heroism of those who fought in these deadly conflicts and placed their lives at risk to assure the safety of their fellow Marines. For these Marines, no Medal of Honor is enough for their bravery. Nonetheless, though not his main purpose, Devaney calls attention to the practice of awarding medals itself, that often these warriors received awards that were below what their deeds merited. No less disturbing is the revelation that medals were often awarded by rank, and not always by action. The lives presented in Devaney’s book call attention to the fact that many heroes of these deadly conflicts have gone unrecognized.
Download or read book Company of Heroes written by Eric Poole and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-03-20 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many broad studies of the Vietnam War, but this work offers an insight into the harrowing experiences of just a small number of men from a single unit, deep in the jungles of Vietnam and Cambodia. Its focus is the remarkable account of a Medal of Honor recipient Leslie Sabo Jr., whose brave actions were forgotten for over three decades. Sabo and other replacement soldiers in Bravo Company, 3rd Battalion, 506th Infantry (Currahees), 101st Airborne Division, were involved in intense, bloody engagements such as the battle for Hill 474 and the Mother's Day Ambush. Beginning with their deployment at the height of the blistering Tet Offensive, and using military records and interviews with surviving soldiers, Eric Poole recreates the terror of combat amidst the jungles and rice paddies of Vietnam. Company of Heroes, now published in paperback tells the remarkable story of how Sabo earned his medal, as Bravo Company forged bonds of brotherhood in their daily battle for survival.
Book Synopsis Disposable Heroes by : Benjamin Fleury-Steiner
Download or read book Disposable Heroes written by Benjamin Fleury-Steiner and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2012-10-16 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many soldiers, the end of military service signals a cruel and new beginning. Disposable Heroes illuminates the challenges facing many veterans, particularly African Americans. Rather than finding military service to be a path to equality and upward mobility, these veterans fight just to survive. The book draws on in-depth interviews and national survey data to show the ways America is failing many black veterans today. Author Benjamin Fleury-Steiner shares the remarkable stories of 30 veterans from Vietnam to Iraq and Afghanistan. Their words illustrate the ongoing impact of explicit racial oppression such as Jim Crow segregation, white backlash against integration, and racially targeted criminal justice policies. The book traces the persistent role of racial inequalities in African American veterans’ lives before service, during active duty, and particularly after military life. Taken together, the stories in Disposable Heroes paint a compelling story of hope, struggle, and survival. Disposable Heroes makes a powerful case for ending America’s longstanding “war at home”—enduring unemployment, deficient health care, and substandard housing—that continue to plague many urban African American communities in the United States today, with particular attention to challenges of African American veterans.
Book Synopsis Heroes and Cowards by : Dora L. Costa
Download or read book Heroes and Cowards written by Dora L. Costa and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2010-09-02 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When are people willing to sacrifice for the common good? What are the benefits of friendship? How do communities deal with betrayal? And what are the costs and benefits of being in a diverse community? Using the life histories of more than forty thousand Civil War soldiers, Dora Costa and Matthew Kahn answer these questions and uncover the vivid stories, social influences, and crucial networks that influenced soldiers' lives both during and after the war. Drawing information from government documents, soldiers' journals, and one of the most extensive research projects about Union Army soldiers ever undertaken, Heroes and Cowards demonstrates the role that social capital plays in people's decisions. The makeup of various companies--whether soldiers were of the same ethnicity, age, and occupation--influenced whether soldiers remained loyal or whether they deserted. Costa and Kahn discuss how the soldiers benefited from friendships, what social factors allowed some to survive the POW camps while others died, and how punishments meted out for breaking codes of conduct affected men after the war. The book also examines the experience of African-American soldiers and makes important observations about how their comrades shaped their lives. Heroes and Cowards highlights the inherent tensions between the costs and benefits of community diversity, shedding light on how groups and societies behave and providing valuable lessons for the present day.

Download or read book Hometown Heroes written by Greg McIntyre and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-06-19 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stories of Veterans and the service they gave can be found in any book store because we are passionate and dedicated to the heroes who served, and to those who paid the ultimate sacrifice protecting the freedoms of their country. Hometown Heroes is especially relevant as it delves into many aspects of military life, from infrastructure, payroll, mail, and transportation, to the front lines, and personal reflections of loss suffered by some. These are the stories of military veterans in their own words. Some of the content may be deemed controversial, I prefer to say it is raw. The service given by these men and women is heroic because they served. Whether during wartime, in theater, or on base in their home country is not relevant. The potential for active duty in a war zone, as we all know, has been a constant since World War Two, and therefore all veterans in Hometown Heroes are considered heroes. In honor of the service given by all veterans, Hometown Heroes is giving back with a chapter on Veteran's Benefits, specifically the Aid and Attendance Benefit. This chapter is written by Elder Law Attorney and Navy Veteran Greg McIntyre. Greg McIntyre is a veteran of the US Navy. He served on the USS Constellation and USS Nimitz as an EC2 Hawkeye Radar Technician. Upon leaving the service, Greg went to Columbia Law School, gaining a Legal Juris Doctorate and an MBA in law. Since then he has dedicated his time and energy to Elder Law. He is passionate about helping seniors and veterans keep the assets they struggled so hard to earn over their lifetimes. 'Hometown Heroes' is Greg McIntyre's fourth book. He wrote 'Saving the Farm, A practical guide to the legal maze of aging in America, ' in 2016. He co-authored 'RockStar Lawyer' with Robert Christiansen in 2017, and has co-authored the sequel, 'Rockstar Business', again with Robert Christiansen scheduled for release sometime in 2018.

Download or read book American Heroes written by Oliver North and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the New York Times bestselling author of Heroes Proved, a moving collection of “straightforward, honest testimonials to the courage American troops display on and off the battlefield” (Kirkus Reviews). For more than a dozen years, combat-decorated Marine Oliver North and his award-winning documentary team from FOX News Channel’s War Stories traveled to the frontlines of the War on Terror to profile the dedicated men and women who serve our nation. This time, he follows them from the battlefield to the homefront and finds extraordinary inspiration in their triumph over life-altering adversity. In this new volume of his New York Times bestselling American Heroes series, North describes the courage, commitment, and strength of those who serve—and those who love them. The term “selfless devotion” may be a cliché to many—but not to the men and women on the pages of this book. Their stories resound with bravery, a warrior ethos, and spiritual strength that will encourage us all. Heroes are people who knowingly place themselves at risk for the benefit of others. Since the terror attack of September 11, 2001, more than two million young Americans have volunteered to serve in difficult and dangerous places. No military force in history has been asked to do more than those who have served and sacrificed in this long fight. They are American heroes. So too are their loved ones here at home. These are their stories.
Download or read book Serving Heroes written by B. Sky and published by . This book was released on 2022-12-27 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Lori Drumm pays tribute to the veterans she served as a primary care physician working for the Department of Veterans Affairs in her newest book, Serving Heroes. Her original two books, Oh, the Things They Like to Hide and Slaying the Giant, Uncovering the Things They Like to Hide, written under the name Dr. B. Sky, focused on the challenges of applying opioid safety initiatives at the VA. Serving Heroes focuses on why she strove to make positive changes in an often-formidable health-care environment. Dr. Drumm writes about the relationships she developed and nurtured with the patients she cared for at VA facilities in Ohio, Iowa, and Indiana. Veterans eagerly invited Dr. Lori Drumm to speak at community events, ride on veteran floats in Pro Football Hall of Fame parades, and participate, guide, and care for veterans on CAK Honor Flights to Washington, DC. She partnered with Pegasus Farm to initiate a therapeutic horseback riding and driving program for veterans. Additionally, Dr. Drumm enjoyed interviewing veterans as a Library of Congress historian, documenting the lives of heroes who served our country valiantly. As a veteran and physician, Dr. Drumm's patients frequently extended invitations to her, which she wholeheartedly accepted. She cherished each unique experience, capturing them with photographs she shares in her book. In Serving Heroes, Dr. Lori Drumm recounts memories, letters, photographs, experiences, and more to celebrate the lives of veterans she had the privilege to serve. Dr. Lori loved her patients and, in return, felt loved. Her career working for the Department of Veterans Affairs, although tumultuous during her later leadership years, proved to be victorious upon reflection. She remained faithful to God in giving Him all the glory while giving her all to patients and staff members who accepted the vital mission: serving heroes.
