Book excerpt: When you think of the scariest person you have ever met, who comes to your mind? When you lay in bed at night and cannot sleep because you are scared, who or what are you afraid of? This is a story of one railroad town in the heart of Michigan. It tells of life and growing up with the railroad in the 1950s. Share in the tales of a tight knit group of young neighborhood friends who spend hours of growing-up years trying to figure out just why a familiar character in town is so mysterious and downright scary.

Book One and Book Two you read some stories of the mentally ill and of the practice of the psychiatrist as well as the institutional descriptions. As you read, some parts of the stories of the psychiatric system may have been a bit dramatic, and some people will not agree with this, but it is as best a description of the world of the psychiatric system as I, the author, can give. But take it or leave it; its the truth and is not intended to disrupt any persons therapy or how they choose to lead their lives. But the people who read may have a better idea of what the author and some of the nine million schizophrenics in America have to deal with on a daily basis. In most cases the relationship between the common person as well as mine is not the same, and the individuals who have had a bad time in their lives being used by the system will somehow relate to the scenario of conclusive descriptions that tell of the sorts of great measure that the system uses on each of the persons who have a psychiatric illness.

Book Synopsis Journey Out of Darkness by : Hal LaCroix
Download or read book Journey Out of Darkness written by Hal LaCroix and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2007-09-30 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Journey Out of Darkness is a poignant collection of portraits, in words and photographs, of 19 former prisoners of war who bravely endured captivity in Nazi Germany in World War II. Through these men, one can learn essential truths about the POW experience during that war—truths that counter many popular myths and misconceptions. The men featured here gather every week in offices of the Veterans Administration in Boston and Brockton, Mass. to talk about their experiences and find comfort in each other. In their eighties and nineties, they are unique individuals with unique wartime experiences, but also representative of the more than 120,000 American POWs held in Nazi Germany. They are men who fought a double war, in combat and then as POWs. Using both oral histories and photographs to tell their stories, LaCroix and Meyer humanize a terrifying aspect of war, redefining how we think about these men as POWs, survivors, patriots, and members of the Greatest Generation. Journey Out of Darkness is a poignant collection of portraits, in words and photographs, of 19 former prisoners of war who bravely endured captivity in Nazi Germany during World War II. Through these men, one can learn essential truths about the POW experience during that war—truths that counter many popular myths and misconceptions. The 19 men featured here gather every week in offices of the Veterans Administration in Boston and Brockton, Mass., to talk about their experiences and find comfort in each other. In their eighties and nineties, they are unique individuals with unique wartime experiences, but also representative of the more than 120,000 American POWs held in Nazi Germany. They are men who fought a double war, in combat and then as POWs. Together, their photos and their stories go beyond typical first-person accounts. Until the men in this book began meeting in VA support groups, few had spoken of their POW experiences. Some were told by the military not to talk; others were coerced by military intelligence into signing non-disclosure papers called security certificates. With little exception, they received no recognition for enduring as POWs, even as they struggled with traumatic memories and shame for having been held captive, for losing power over their fate, and for surviving combat when friends died. These portraits also illuminate another little-known story: the plight of Jewish-American POWs. Two of the men featured in the book were Jews who concealed their religious identities from the SS. LaCroix and Meyer have crafted a powerful exploration of the struggles of these brave veterans. Using both oral histories and photographs, Journey Out of Darkness humanizes a terrifying aspect of war, redefining how we think about these men as POWs, survivors, patriots, and members of the Greatest Generation.
