Book excerpt: As a farm boy in central Pennsylvania, Ives never imagined the course his life would take as Europe fermented and eventually exploded into WWII. In this crisp telling of how he came to his fate in a German POW camp next to the North Sea, Ives, a commissioned 2nd Lieutenant, relives "Black Thursday", the 14 October 1943 mission over Schweinfurt, Germany, through the eyes of a bombardier in a B-17. From wake up call to the order to bail out of his flak- and bullet-shattered plane at 25,000 feet, to his subsequent evasion, eventual capture and experiences in Stalag Luft I, Ray revisits the emotions and strange coincidences of the time. 9 photos, 1 map, 6 ill, 3 documents.

Download or read book The F-Word written by Jesse Sheidlower and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2009-09-04 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all know what frak, popularized by television's cult hit Battlestar Galactica, really means. But what about feck? Or ferkin? Or foul--as in FUBAR, or "Fouled Up Beyond All Recognition"? In a thoroughly updated edition of The F-Word, Jesse Sheidlower offers a rich, revealing look at the f-bomb and its illimitable uses. Since the fifteenth century, no other word has been adapted, interpreted, euphemized, censored, and shouted with as much ardor or force; imagine Dick Cheney telling Democratic Senator Patrick Leahy to "go damn himself" on the Senate floor--it doesn't have quite the same impact as what was really said. Sheidlower cites this and other notorious examples throughout history, from the satiric sixteenth-century poetry of James Cranstoun to the bawdy parodies of Lord Rochester in the seventeenth century, to more recent uses by Ernest Hemingway, Jack Kerouac, Ann Sexton, Norman Mailer, Liz Phair, Anthony Bourdain, Junot Diaz, Jenna Jameson, Amy Winehouse, Jon Stewart, and Bono (whose use of the word at the Grammys nearly got him fined by the FCC). Collectively, these references and the more than one hundred new entries they illustrate double the size of The F-Word since its previous edition. Thousands of added quotations come from newly available electronic databases and the resources of the OED, expanding the range of quotations to cover British, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand, Irish, and South African uses in addition to American ones. Thus we learn why a fugly must hone his or her sense of humor, why Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau muttered "fuddle duddle" in the Commons, and why Fanny Adams is so sweet. A fascinating introductory essay explores the word's history, reputation, and changing popularity over time. and a new Foreword by comedian, actor, and author Lewis Black offers readers a smart and entertaining take on the book and its subject matter. Oxford dictionaries have won renown for their expansive, historical approach to words and their etymologies. The F-Word offers all that and more in an entertaining and informative look at a word that, while now largely accepted as an integral part of the English language, still confounds, provokes, and scandalizes.

Download or read book Fickle Finger of Fate written by Raymond Ives and published by . This book was released on 2020-10 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like the participants in all great battles of the past, the men of the Eighth Air Force flying out of England gradually slip into history, the sound of their living voices, like the tumult of their deadly missions, becoming only echoes in the minds of those surviving them. A treasure of individual stories will die with most of them. Many want or wanted to quietly forget or withhold the details of those times. Some few leave us with more specific remembrances in poignant oral histories or the written word. The following account is one of those precious records. As a farm boy in central Pennsylvania, Ray Ives never imagined the course the world or his life would take as Europe fermented and eventually exploded into World War II. In this fairly brief and crisp telling of how he came to his fate in a German prisoner of war camp next to the North Sea, Ives, a commissioned 2nd Lieutenant, relives "Black Thursday", the 14 October 1943 mission over Schweinfurt, Germany, through the eyes of a bombardier in the Plexiglas nosecone of a B-17 Flying Fortress. From wake up call to the order to bail out of his flak- and bullet-shattered plane at 25,000 feet above the French countryside, to his subsequent evasion, eventual capture and experiences in Stalag Luft I, Ray revisits the emotions and strange coincidences of the time. In doing so, he causes us to think of what must have been the thousands of other unique and fascinating stories of brave airmen shot from the skies and forced to wait out the war at the mercy of the Nazis. Devoid of soppy, fabricated emotions to develop interest, the 'real' story is worthy in itself of substantial publication as part of the archives of World War II history. Underlying it's telling is a tongue-in-cheek sense of humor that Ray has maintained to this day and which invigorates the text. 106 photos, illustrations, documents. A Merriam Press World War 2 Autobiography.

Download or read book Fate's Finger written by Robert W. Christie M.D. and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2002-04-12 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fate’s Finger is a fictionalized memoir based on the author’s experience as a combat-inexperienced 2nd lieutenant sent to the ETO late in 1944 as a replacement platoon leader in an armored division. He arrived at the beginning of the Battle of the Bulge and fought with his division through three campaigns in Europe. Each chapter is introduced by a newspaper headline appropriate to the times, followed by a letter to or from a character in the book to folks back in the U.S. The events described in each chapter are based on reality, but dialogue, as well as personal names and character development are fictional. Graphics include photographs, news clippings, and maps. Authenticity, verisimilitude, and readibility were the author’s aims, and so the book is meant to be read as a military historical novel written by an old soldier attempting to preserve a micro-history of tank warfare in WW II. “….a ‘bottom-up’ account of tank warfare, unique in the annals of WW II, based on the cold, hard, terrifying facts of armored combat. The way the author develops the humanism of the characters, their language, their down-to-earth thoughts and emotions is truly remarkable.” Col. Arthur F. Pottle, WW II troop commander, 86th Cav Rcn Sqdn, 6th Armored Division, Third Army “Fate’s Finger is a great military micro-historical achievement, telling it like it was for the men on the line in WW II armored divisions, and it reeks with verisimilitude: the contemporaneous U.S. newspaper headlines, and the wonderful human insights in the letters to and from the folks back home. Absolutely authentic, a ‘been there, done that’. I couldn’t put it down!” Capt. Perry Swirsky, WW II tank company commander, 752nd Tank Bn. “Only a rare few WW II accounts have captured as this one has the turmoil that small groups of tankers and their machines endured to make the ‘big picture’ succeed. A must read for old – and new – tankers.” 1st Lt. George A. Campbell, WW II tank platoon leader, 8th Armored Division.

Download or read book See What I'm Saying? written by Jim Westergard and published by The Porcupine's Quill. This book was released on 2018-09-25 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human beings rarely say exactly what they mean. The English language has evolved to embrace a dizzying array of linguistic tools that invite playful minds to introduce ambiguity and innuendo—and hilarity—into common parlance. In See What I’m Saying? Jim Westergard does just that, illustrating idioms with a series of exquisitely detailed engravings. Through these images, Westergard will insist you ‘keep an open mind’ and admonish you not to ‘turn a blind eye’ to the origin and evolution of colloquialisms. His visual interpretations are truly as ‘rare as hens’ teeth’, as he might suggest himself—or he’ll be ‘a monkey’s uncle’.
