Book Synopsis The Last Farewell by : Edmund Burke O'Connell

Book excerpt: The Last Farewell, a posthumous wartime memoir set against the rich, colorful landscape of historic Florence and Northern Italy, tenderly recalls one soldier's love story through the viewfinder of a still and motion picture camera during the Italian campaign of the Second World War. An unlikely luncheon date during a lull in the summer 1944 liberation of Florence leads Edmund Burke O'Connell, an Army motion picture photographer with the 196th Signal Photo Company to meet an attractive English speaking Florentine, Tina Calamai. Their friendship steadily blossoms into love as her family's 15th century Medici villa, the Villa Calamai, becomes his wartime base of operations. The end of the war in Europe soon draws near and Burke and his unit prepare for redeployment to the United States where they will film the remaining months of the Pacific War. Burke faces immediate separation from his beloved Tina, and is challenged to determine how he can return to the woman he now truly loves. O'Connell does return to Italy at war's end to resume his relationship with Tina, marry her, and remain at their Villa Calamai home until her death in 1972. His return to the U.S. in 1972 for the first time in 25 years to Santa Monica, California, soon leads to a whirlwind romance, a new second marriage, and introduces co-author Julie Whitman Jones, then 15, to her "Irish pop" who would leave her with a lifetime of cherished memories. The Last Farewell balances bittersweet recollections of close calls in combat, Divine intervention, and the grim realities of combat against the unique opportunities of American military photographers to capture and experience the rich cultural history of Italy during wartime.Note: The authors continue to look for surviving veterans of the 196th Signal Photo Company.

Book Synopsis America: The Farewell Tour by : Chris Hedges
Download or read book America: The Farewell Tour written by Chris Hedges and published by Simon & Schuster. This book was released on 2019-08-27 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chris Hedges’s profound and unsettling examination of America in crisis is “an exceedingly…provocative book, certain to arouse controversy, but offering a point of view that needs to be heard” (Booklist), about how bitter hopelessness and malaise have resulted in a culture of sadism and hate. America, says Pulitzer Prize–winning reporter Chris Hedges, is convulsed by an array of pathologies that have arisen out of profound hopelessness, a bitter despair, and a civil society that has ceased to function. The opioid crisis; the retreat into gambling to cope with economic distress; the pornification of culture; the rise of magical thinking; the celebration of sadism, hate, and plagues of suicides are the physical manifestations of a society that is being ravaged by corporate pillage and a failed democracy. As our society unravels, we also face global upheaval caused by catastrophic climate change. All these ills presage a frightening reconfiguration of the nation and the planet. Donald Trump rode this disenchantment to power. In his “forceful and direct” (Publishers Weekly) America: The Farewell Tour, Hedges argues that neither political party, now captured by corporate power, addresses the systemic problem. Until our corporate coup d’état is reversed these diseases will grow and ravage the country. “With sharply observed detail, Hedges writes a requiem for the American dream” (Kirkus Reviews) and seeks to jolt us out of our complacency while there is still time.

During their lengthy relationship, both were deeply committed to social and environmental justice, loved the arts and traveling, and embraced faith and spiritualityvalues that were never more important to them than during the final days of Bills life. As David sat at Bills bedside, he shares how the memories of their great love provided him strength and helped him prepare Bill for the end. August Farewell offers an intimate portrait of a loving relationship brought to an abrupt end and affirms the power of love in the face of adversity.
