Book excerpt: "Somewhere within me I knew that, during these years as a prisoner, I had been in a sense sheltered from reality." Bill Griffiths lost both hands and both eyes when he was a prisoner of the Japanese in Java in 1942. But Bill had no intention of allowing himself to become an object of pity, and it was not long after his return to civilian life that he began to make it clear that, even if he had no hands and no eyes, he still had his own two feet and he certainly intended to stand on them. Inevitably, life has not been without its ups and downs, and certainly Bill could not have got where he was without the care and devotion of his wife Alice. Their story is one of remarkable courage, told with no trace of bitterness and a generous helping of laughter.

Download or read book On Courage written by Geoffrey Scarre and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-07-26 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is courage and why is it one of the oldest and most universally admired virtues? How is it relevant in the world today, and what contemporary forms does it take? In this insightful and crisply written book, Geoffrey Scarre examines these questions and many more. He begins by defining courage, asking how it differs from fearlessness, recklessness and fortitude, and why people are often more willing to ascribe it to others than to avow it for themselves. He also asks whether courage can serve bad ends as well as good, and whether it can sometimes promote confrontation over compromise and dialogue. On Courage explores the ideas of Aristotle, Aquinas and many later philosophers who have written about courage, as well as drawing on classic and recent examples of courage in politics and fiction, including the German anti-Nazi "White Rose Movement", the modern phenomenon of "whistle-blowing", and Stephen Crane’s The Red Badge of Courage.

Download or read book The Value of Courage written by Per Bauhn and published by Nordic Academic Press. This book was released on 2003-01-08 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining in-depth analysis with strikingly apt examples of the role that courage plays in the life of human beings, this major contribution to moral philosophy argues that courage is necessary to personal achievement as well as to the common good of a civic community. Bauhn insists that courage is necessary for reinforcing people's understanding of themselves as autonomous agents, which is in turn necessary for countering widespread feelings of alienation and depression. He defines courage as the ability to confront fear, but crucially distinguishes a variety of fears that give rise to different types of courage.
Book Synopsis Courage and Consequence by : Karl Rove
Download or read book Courage and Consequence written by Karl Rove and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-04-03 with total page 626 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the moment he set foot on it, Karl Rove has rocked America’s political stage. He ran the national College Republicans at twenty-two, and turned a Texas dominated by Democrats into a bastion for Republicans. He launched George W. Bush to national renown by unseating a popular Democratic governor, and then orchestrated a GOP White House win at a time when voters had little reason to throw out the incumbent party. For engineering victory after unlikely victory, Rove became known as “the Architect.” Because of his success, Rove has been attacked his entire career, accused of everything from campaign chicanery to ideological divisiveness. In this frank memoir, Rove responds to critics, passionately articulates his political philosophy, and defends the choices he made on the campaign trail and in the White House. He addresses controversies head-on— from his role in the contest between Bush and Senator John McCain in South Carolina to the charges that Bush misled the nation on Iraq. In the course of putting the record straight, Rove takes on Democratic leaders who acted cynically or deviously behind closed doors, and even Republicans who lacked backbone at crucial moments. Courage and Consequence is also the first intimate account from the highest level at the White House of one of the most headline-making presidencies of the modern age. Rove takes readers behind the scenes of the bitterly contested 2000 presidential contest, of tense moments aboard Air Force One on 9/11, of the decision to go to war in Afghanistan and Iraq, of the hard-won 2004 reelection fight, and even of his painful three years fending off an indictment by Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald. In the process, he spells out what it takes to win elections and how to govern successfully once a candidate has won. Rove is candid about his mistakes in the West Wing and in his campaigns, and talks frankly about the heartbreak of his early family years. But Courage and Consequence is ultimately about the joy of a life committed to the conservative cause, a life spent in political combat and service to country, no matter the costs.

Download or read book No Memorial written by Anthony Babington and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 1988-01-01 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of a man who was wounded in Holland during the war and returned to consciousness to find that his right arm and leg were paralysed and that he was unable to speak. After a long struggle he not only won back most of his powers of moment and speech, but began to read for the bar. At the moment of triumph- just when he had passed the Final Examinations- he was diagnosed as suffering from tuberculosis. Long months of hospital and sanatorium life followed before he returned to the bar and set to work to refute the innumerable people who discouraged him. Then, finally, when he had succeeded into getting into Chambers, an attack of pleuritis carried him away for more treatment lasting over a year and cumulating in the removable of half a lung. Despite all this, he became a practicing barrister and ended as a judge. These bare facts show that here was a case of exceptionally bad luck colliding with an exceptionally courageous man, and this is the account of a fight fought without bitterness and with a great sense of humour. Easily, freshly and serenely told, though the story concerns pain and disappointment it is heartening, even exhilarating read.
