Download or read book The Black Heart written by Jamie Reynolds and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2017-03-16 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Black Heart by Jamie Reynolds Mandy is packing and moving with her family from Mexico to California. Her father has finally received legal permission to move to the States and start a business with his brother. Mandy has mixed emotions about a lot of things, including being overwhelmed with thoughts about the possibility of consequences of her pregnancy, which she hasn’t divulged to anyone. Meanwhile in California, Janie is working hard in the corporate world. Her husband is abusive, contrary to Janie having the biggest heart and trying to cope. Mandy and Janie never meet, but they do have a relationship at different points in time with Alex, the good looking chef. Both of these women come to realize that Alex has a very angry temperament, and he could be the demise for one, if not both of them. The Black Heart gently provides an understanding of what anger means when spelled with a ‘D’, for ‘danger’. Author, Jamie Reynolds wants women (and men) to benefit through sharing her perspective and awareness of what one could risk - self and loved ones - when embracing a relationship with a person who isn’t capable of caring about others, but only wants to satisfy his/her own interests. It contains interesting characters that the reader can relate to, or be drawn to, because of the personal life challenges and obstacles that the characters overcome through sheer necessity. The paragraphs of story are interspersed with touching and sometimes sharp dialog and provide a vivid feel for the environment that the characters are immersed in.

Book excerpt: Mark "Mac" Macintyre is an Army helicopter pilot in Vietnam. He is also a wheeler-dealer of military equipment. But when he wins an Army helicopter in a poker game, he soon finds out that he has bitten off more than he can chew. He quickly realizes that others have their own plans for the helicopter and that they are willing to go to any length to keep it within their control. Mac isn't able to get rid of the helicopter before he unwillingly becomes trapped in a fight between the CIA and Russia; a fight for his life. He doesn't mind his relationship with CIA agent Sheila Hood, but the job they "ask" him to do is filled with danger - not only for him and Sheila, but for the whole world. How could things get so far out of hand over a simple game of poker? Blending fact with fiction, the story, which takes place during the Vietnam War era, is a thriller filled with twists, adventure, and espionage on a worldwide level.
Book Synopsis The Black Hearts of Men by : John Stauffer
Download or read book The Black Hearts of Men written by John Stauffer and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-30 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a time when slavery was spreading and the country was steeped in racism, two white men and two black men overcame social barriers and mistrust to form a unique alliance that sought nothing less than the end of all evil. Drawing on the largest extant bi-racial correspondence in the Civil War era, John Stauffer braids together these men's struggles to reconcile ideals of justice with the reality of slavery and oppression. Who could imagine that Gerrit Smith, one of the richest men in the country, would give away his wealth to the poor and ally himself with Frederick Douglass, an ex-slave? And why would James McCune Smith, the most educated black man in the country, link arms with John Brown, a bankrupt entrepreneur, along with the others? Distinguished by their interracial bonds, they shared a millennialist vision of a new world where everyone was free and equal. As the nation headed toward armed conflict, these men waged their own war by establishing model interracial communities, forming a new political party, and embracing violence. Their revolutionary ethos bridged the divide between the sacred and the profane, black and white, masculine and feminine, and civilization and savagery that had long girded western culture. In so doing, it embraced a malleable and "black-hearted" self that was capable of violent revolt against a slaveholding nation, in order to usher in a kingdom of God on earth. In tracing the rise and fall of their prophetic vision and alliance, Stauffer reveals how radical reform helped propel the nation toward war even as it strove to vanquish slavery and preserve the peace.
Book Synopsis Black Heart by : Phillip M. Richards
Download or read book Black Heart written by Phillip M. Richards and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2006 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black Heart is a provocative and polemical critique of African American literary studies at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Through a series of sharp and insightful essays on a wide range of critical thinkers, Phillip M. Richards traces what he sees as an erosion of moral reflection in African American literary culture - a process that has left contemporary black academic criticism socially, politically, and culturally hollow. Exploring the work of Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Michael Dyson, Karla Holloway and others, Black Heart sets forth the rhetorical strategies of present-day African American critical writing, and probes the ethical dimensions of its institutional life in the academy, the media, and the public sphere. Richards undertakes to recover the procedures by which cultural and moral value may be recovered for black literary culture and to establish the possibilities for a new humanism in African American writing and literary culture.

Download or read book Black Hearts written by Jim Frederick and published by Crown. This book was released on 2010-02-09 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Riveting. . . a testament to a misconceived war, and to the ease with which ordinary men, under certain conditions, can transform into monsters.”—New York Times Book Review This is the story of a small group of soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division’s fabled 502nd Infantry Regiment—a unit known as “the Black Heart Brigade.” Deployed in late 2005 to Iraq’s so-called Triangle of Death, a veritable meat grinder just south of Baghdad, the Black Hearts found themselves in arguably the country’s most dangerous location at its most dangerous time. Hit by near-daily mortars, gunfire, and roadside bomb attacks, suffering from a particularly heavy death toll, and enduring a chronic breakdown in leadership, members of one Black Heart platoon—1st Platoon, Bravo Company, 1st Battalion—descended, over their year-long tour of duty, into a tailspin of poor discipline, substance abuse, and brutality. Four 1st Platoon soldiers would perpetrate one of the most heinous war crimes U.S. forces have committed during the Iraq War—the rape of a fourteen-year-old Iraqi girl and the cold-blooded execution of her and her family. Three other 1st Platoon soldiers would be overrun at a remote outpost—one killed immediately and two taken from the scene, their mutilated corpses found days later booby-trapped with explosives. Black Hearts is an unflinching account of the epic, tragic deployment of 1st Platoon. Drawing on hundreds of hours of in-depth interviews with Black Heart soldiers and first-hand reporting from the Triangle of Death, Black Hearts is a timeless story about men in combat and the fragility of character in the savage crucible of warfare. But it is also a timely warning of new dangers emerging in the way American soldiers are led on the battlefields of the twenty-first century.

Download or read book Black Hearts Revealed written by Jamie Reynolds and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2023-08-23 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the Book In The Black Heart and Black Heart’s End, we’ve seen Janie struggle with life’s handouts and her struggles with life’s hurdles with matters of relationships and a particular event, Mandy’s death—as divulged to Janie by Alex, when in a romantic relationship with him. There’s been placement of interest in Janie's life with Mandy’s death, because Alex had a previous relationship with Mandy while he was married. Janie’s desire for answers has increased because of the build-up in friendship with Lolly, Mandy’s daughter. Their earlier searches for answers have allowed for a narrowing down to a particular point of history for Mandy: Mexico. Black Hearts Revealed begins with Janie recovering from her fall in her garden, and it has yet to be determined as to whether it was a deliberate or an accidental event. Janie’s pursuit to uncover the mystery surrounding Mandy’s passing continues, but not without additional challenges posed by others and particularly those presented by Alex, Janie’s primary suspect. Throughout it all, Janie manages to maintain her sense of humor and utilizes it mostly for gaining solace with the men in her life. At the end of the day, there is still the unknown whereabouts of Janie’s black heart necklace which causes her to wonder if its location will ever be revealed. Later, she is gifted a replacement from an unknown source, but will the new item pacify her desire for the old? Now, we’ll have revealed the perpetrator of Mandy’s death....Or will we? About the Author Jamie Reynolds resides in Southern California and is currently deciding if a fourth book to the series will be necessary for purposes of divulging an unexpected conclusion to this story.
Book Synopsis Voices from a Black Heart Speak by : Rosetta Hopkins
Download or read book Voices from a Black Heart Speak written by Rosetta Hopkins and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2005-08 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Expressed through poetry, essays, and short stories, Voices from a Black Heart Speak examines deep-seated beliefs, perspectives, and emotional feelings derived from the cultural development of black people in the United States. We live in a world where television tells us what to want, how we want to live, and what we want to do. We live in a world where fear of the unknown is to be feared and that's considered normal. It may be considered normal and acceptable, but it's totally irrational as our entire lives and world is based on the unknown. We slide through life on a hope and wish that our lives work out as we planned them. If we look at the major earthquake in the Indian Ocean on December 26, 2004 that created a Tsunami or Great Wave that killed over 100,000 people and destroyed towns, cities and property in the billions in Asia, we can realize the truth of the fact is that we live our lives in the unknown from moment to moment. The one thing that sustains us is our faith as we journey through life.

Download or read book Black Hearts and Painted Guns written by Kelly Eads and published by Casemate. This book was released on 2023-01-05 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kelly Eads joined the 101st Airborne Division soon after 9/11, his experience reflecting the patriotism and commitment of so many young men and women who responded to the attack. He deployed to Iraq twice with the 2nd Battalion, 502nd Infantry Regiment. Early in their deployment to Iraq, the 2nd Battalion brought the fight directly to the enemy by setting up patrol bases in the local areas where they lived and operated. Soon they built a reputation for themselves, becoming known to the enemy as the Black Hearts—The 502nd had been distinguished on the battlefield by black hearts on their helmets since World War II. Their Scout Platoon became known as Painted Guns due to their practice of camouflaging their rifles. During Eads’ deployments, the battalion would experience thousands of Improvised Explosive Devices and firefights. They would spend countless hours in blistering 120-degree desert heat, controlling roads and preventing enemy freedom of movement; and would dedicate months to hunting enemy mortar teams and terror cells. With the help of Dan Morgan, an Infantry officer who deployed multiple times to Iraq and Afghanistan as a commander and operations officer, Eads takes the reader on a rollercoaster of combat experiences during the hunt for the most violent terrorist in Iraq, Abū Muṣʻab Zarqāwī, bringing to life the painstaking and horrid details of combat in a sectarian war. He tells the story of the soldiers’ camaraderie, built through adversity, and the love of family that sustained them.

They have no choice but to adapt, none more successfully than big brother Abe, now a respected police sergeant in confident control of the rough streets of the Black Country in the 1880s, ready for anything the world can throw at him. Or so he believes. Because something else comes his way, something extraordinary, and not of this world, and he is certainly not ready for that. Abraham Lively’s world is turned inside out, as he battles the forces aligned against him: black-hearted villains marshalled by non-human entities. He is sure that there are devils at work. He knows so because the locals have seen them. And they are blue. Blue Devils. If that was not enough to contend with, he has made an enemy of a little man who will prove to be the greatest adversary of them all: a criminal yes, but pleasant enough, as sociopaths go; but dangerous, as sociopaths also often go. And Abe, tying himself up in mental knots, with his own devils, does not appreciate that danger until it is too late. Will events conspire to destroy him? Or will he banish the darkness within himself, to return to the light, his true self, his family, his sanity? Sons and Lovers meets Ripper Street meets Dennis Wheatley – you will not want to miss this!
