Download or read book Noel Coward written by Philip Hoare and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-05-21 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive biography of one of the twentieth century’s most celebrated and controversial dramatists. To several generations, actor, playwright, songwriter, and filmmaker Noël Coward (1899-1973) was the very personification of wit, glamour, and elegance. Given unprecedented access to the private papers and correspondence of Coward family members, compatriots, and numerous lovers, Samuel Johnson Prize-winning biographer Philip Hoare has produced an illuminating and sophisticated biography of Coward, whose relentless drive for success and approval fueled the stunning bursts of creativity that launched the once-painfully middle class boy from the suburbs of London into a pantheon of theatrical deities that includes Gilbert and Sullivan, Oscar Wilde, and George Bernard Shaw. As much the embodiment of a lifestyle as an actual inhabitant of it, Coward’s carefully cultivated image defined the aspirations of untold numbers of actors, artists, and writers who succeeded him, and Hoare’s meticulously researched biography peels away the layers of this complex persona to reveal the man underneath it all, whom The Times of London decreed upon his death to be the most versatile of all the great figures of the English theater.

Book Synopsis He Was No Coward by : Janet Booth Janet Booth and James White
Download or read book He Was No Coward written by Janet Booth Janet Booth and James White and published by . This book was released on 2017-11-11 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harry Farr was born in north London in December 1890. His life ended while tied to a post, without a blindfold, shot to death by his fellow soldiers at the height of the First World War.In between, he served two years as a regular soldier before the war, fell in love, got married and became a father to baby Gertie, before spending two years on the Western Front with the West Yorkshire Regiment.Yet his service to his country was to end in disgrace when he was officially branded a coward and condemned to death despite showing signs of shell shock in what was to become the most infamous miscarriage of justice of the Great War.For years his tragic demise was kept quiet by his relatives, the shame of the circumstances echoing down the generations until his granddaughter Janet Booth discovered his fate in the 1980s.The shocking family secret, shared by Harry's wife Gertrude and confirmed by her mother Gertie, proved to be a catalyst for an extraordinary and ultimately successful campaign to pardon 306 British Empire soldiers who were executed for military offences in the First World War.The Shot At Dawn campaign - led in parliament by Labour MP Andrew MacKinlay but supported by hundreds of relatives, volunteers and enthusiasts - took almost 15 years to come to fruition.And it was Harry's case, taken by Gertie and Janet to the High Court, that proved to be the key to forcing a reluctant government and a hostile establishment into officially pardoning those who were executed for cowardice, desertion and throwing down of arms.The recognition that the Armed Forces had acted erratically and at times illegally in how cases were pursued and sentences handed down was a defining moment in the lives of Gertie and Janet.As direct descendants of the unfortunate private they felt as if a cloud had been removed - and the hurt of the untimely death of a good and kindly man could finally be allowed to recede.Here for the first time is the story of Harry's life, military service, trial and execution brought to life alongside the history of his descendants' fight for justice, featuring interviews with many key men and women in what was to be a drama played out in the national media.He Was No Coward: The Harry Farr Story reveals the reality of when ordinary people become part of something extraordinary - and how British history was changed forever.About the authorsJanet Booth is a retired secretary and the granddaughter of Private Harry Farr. She lives in Farnham, Surrey with her husband Jim to whom she has been married to for 53 years. They have two daughters and four grandchildren.James White is a news and sports journalist, currently working as Deputy Sports Editor for MailOnline.

Download or read book Gurkha written by Kailash Limbu and published by Little, Brown Book Group. This book was released on 2015-05-21 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the summer of 2006, Colour-Sargeant Kailash Limbu's platoon was sent to relieve and occupy a police compound in the town of Now Zad in Helmand. He was told to prepare for a forty-eight hour operation. In the end, he and his men were under siege for thirty-one days - one of the longest such sieges in the whole of the Afghan campaign. Kailash Limbu recalls the terrifying and exciting details of those thirty-one days - in which they killed an estimated one hundred Taliban fighters - and intersperses them with the story of his own life as a villager from the Himalayas. He grew up in a place without roads or electricity and didn't see a car until he was fifteen. Kailash's descriptions of Gurkha training and rituals - including how to use the lethal Kukri knife - are eye-opening and fascinating. They combine with the story of his time in Helmand to create a unique account of one man's life as a Gurkha.

Download or read book Cowardice written by Chris Walsh and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-09-28 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A provocative look at how cowardice has been understood from ancient times to the present Coward. It's a grave insult, likely to provoke anger, shame, even violence. But what exactly is cowardice? When terrorists are called cowards, does it mean the same as when the term is applied to soldiers? And what, if anything, does cowardice have to do with the rest of us? Bringing together sources from court-martial cases to literary and film classics such as Dante's Inferno, The Red Badge of Courage, and The Thin Red Line, Cowardice recounts the great harm that both cowards and the fear of seeming cowardly have done, and traces the idea of cowardice’s power to its evolutionary roots. But Chris Walsh also shows that this power has faded, most dramatically on the battlefield. Misconduct that earlier might have been punished as cowardice has more recently often been treated medically, as an adverse reaction to trauma, and Walsh explores a parallel therapeutic shift that reaches beyond war, into the realms of politics, crime, philosophy, religion, and love. Yet, as Walsh indicates, the therapeutic has not altogether triumphed—contempt for cowardice endures, and he argues that such contempt can be a good thing. Courage attracts much more of our attention, but rigorously understanding cowardice may be more morally useful, for it requires us to think critically about our duties and our fears, and it helps us to act ethically when fear and duty conflict. Richly illustrated and filled with fascinating stories and insights, Cowardice is the first sustained analysis of a neglected but profound and pervasive feature of human experience.

Book Synopsis Nothing but Love in God's Water by : Robert Darden
Download or read book Nothing but Love in God's Water written by Robert Darden and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2014-10-14 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first of two volumes chronicling the history and role of music in the African American experience, Nothing but Love in God’s Water explores how songs and singers helped African Americans challenge and overcome slavery, subjugation, and suppression. From the spirituals of southern fields and the ringing chords of black gospel to the protest songs that changed the landscape of labor and the cadences sung before dogs and water cannons in Birmingham, sacred song has stood center stage in the African American drama. Myriad interviews, one-of-a-kind sources, and rare or lost recordings are used to examine this enormously persuasive facet of the movement. Nothing but Love in God’s Water explains the historical significance of song and helps us understand how music enabled the civil rights movement to challenge the most powerful nation on the planet.
