Comments about the book "Thank you" so very much for the "gift" of allowing me to read your wonderful writings of Skipping Rock. Your characters were profound individuals and the connections you made created the larger picture. I especially was inspired by the spiritualism that unfolded and surrounded the essence of your characters. I really enjoyed it. Would make a darn good movie! Keep on writing, God has endowed you with this gift! Nancy Fitzgerald avid reader
Book Synopsis That Powerless Feeling by : Aaron Handy Jr.
Download or read book That Powerless Feeling written by Aaron Handy Jr. and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2010-03 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is a revealing anti-Vietnam War narrative about the day to day interactions of a group of young combatants coping with the realities of war during redeployment. The lives of these mostly draftees are candidly detailed as the story negotiates the one year tour faced by all who served there. It gives an insight into the Spartan life of the foot soldier and the predicament of the many reluctant warriors who, by 1970, were faced with fighting a war that seemingly no longer needed to be fought. The story deals with a lot of the intimate issues that were both common to all of the troops and relevant to many of the families at home. It is an informative study for the uninitiated and a remembrance for all who were affected that would easily qualify as more than just a journal dealing only with the conflict. There is also a parallel story portraying the tragedy of a mother struggling with the loss of her son to the war. Her ensuing long term grieving process and the effect she had on the survivors of the battle is a centerpiece of the book. The abundance of drugs and the immaturity of the troops facing the disparity of fighting for an unpopular foreign policy created an unusual war effort. With no victory to achieve, there were only lives to be lost as the war dragged on. In the face of the odds stacked against them, they reinvented their purpose for being there and fought for each other creating a bond that testifies to the human spirit and its ability to adapt.
Book Synopsis The Life of an Airborne Ranger by : Michael B. Kitz-Miller
Download or read book The Life of an Airborne Ranger written by Michael B. Kitz-Miller and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2018-09-21 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Book Two: Take Care of Your Men—part of the trilogy—continues with Jack and Mary Clarke’s careers flourishing. Jack’s training continues at the infantry school, air assault school, and in reestablishing his jump status. His mentor, Lt. Gen. Frank Stafford, is now commander of Eighth Airborne Corps and invites Jack for a special assignment to research small unit tactics in the two airborne divisions at Fort Bragg. Jack uncovers an old boy network that has led to substandard basic military skills. With one unit scheduled for deployment to Vietnam, there is great concern making their readiness a priority. First Lieutenant Donovan leaves for his third tour in Vietnam as a company commander, where he commands two successful operations against VC-rocket launcher sites, receiving numerous commendations for valor. He is now the most highly decorated soldier in the military, but he again clashes with Orin Jensen’s incompetence. Returning from Vietnam as acting battalion commander, Mary Clarke surprises Jack with a planned trip to Austria. Their love of opera and classical music fills their evenings in Salzburg and Vienna. Jack has also discovered his wife’s independent wealth, having inherited a substantial sum from an aunt and uncle unable to have their own children. Money will never be a problem for the Donovans, whose family has been enlarged with a Welsh terrier named Patton. Jack, now a battalion commander with the Seventy-Fifth Airborne Rangers, plans and commands a major field training exercise at Fort Benning. Using high-altitude qualified parachutists, which includes himself, he outsmarts a larger force to win the exercise. Daring maneuvers against the Tenth Mountain Division allow Jack’s rangers to win yet another FTX at Fort Drum and new promotions. Mary Clarke, with a new PhD from the University of Maryland, fills large lecture halls at NC State University. She is one of few professors on campus that give failing grades to students that are not up to the mark, even while students line up for her classes, which includes graduate-level courses on the romantic novels and their many moral characters of Ayn Rand and Victor Hugo.
Book Synopsis The Battle of Bong Son by : Kenneth P. White
Download or read book The Battle of Bong Son written by Kenneth P. White and published by Casemate. This book was released on 2024-02-29 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Operation Masher/White Wing targeted the regiments of the North Vietnamese Army Sao Vang Division operating in the Bong Son area in northeast Binh Dinh Province in central South Vietnam. The operation started on January 24, 1966, immediately after the Vietnamese New Year (Tet) and ended six weeks later. It was led by newly promoted Colonel Harold G. Moore, who as a lieutenant colonel commanded the 1st Battalion, 7th Cavalry in the battle of Landing Zone X-Ray in the Ia Drang Valley two months earlier. In 41 days of sustained fighting, the 1st Cav battled each of the three regiments of the Sao Vang Division, resulting in enemy losses of more than 3,000 KIA. This came at the cost of 199 Americans killed on the battlefield and 46 more who died in the crash of a U.S. Air Force C-123 aircraft en route to the battlefield, making it one of the deadliest battles of the entire Vietnam War. Operation Masher/White Wing was a success. The 1st Cav demonstrated that it had the firepower, mobility, and leadership to find the enemy and deliver a severe blow to it in terms of personnel and equipment losses and in forced evacuation from formerly “secure” base areas, seemingly proving the value of the search-and-destroy strategy. However within a few weeks, intelligence reports indicated that North Vietnamese soldiers were returning to the Bong Son area in small groups. By late April, the Sao Vang Division was back in the area in force. Operation Masher/White Wing proved to be the start of a very long and deadly struggle between the 1st Cav and North Vietnamese for control of Binh Dinh Province—multiple search & destroy operations eventually resulted in more than 9,000 enemy KIA and 2,358 enemy detained, with friendly losses of more than 1,200 KIA, 5,775 WIA, and 27 MIA. While Masher/White Wing demonstrated that search & destroy operations were very effective at the tactical level but without a high-level strategy to stop the unabated flow of fresh Communist troops and supplies into South Vietnam, it wasn’t clear just how they contributed to overall victory. At the start of 1968, General Westmoreland ordered the 1st Cav to terminate its operations in the Bong Son area, bringing the battle to a close.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mountain Lion Charlie was a real person. Those few who were fortunate to know him and those who heard hand-me-down tales romanced his deeds unnecessarily. Charlie’s truths are more than sufficient. A mountain of a man, his life began in the late eighteen hundreds and extended through almost three quarters of the twentieth century. His is far different from the typical mountain man tales. There is little typicalness in Charlie’s story. Born in the wilderness, raised in the wilderness like no other, he became truly one with its wild inhabitants, his beloved mountains and above all their spirit. His personal unique existence abounded in adventure. A walking legend in elusive solitude that from the continent-long Rockies to the majestic High Sierra, inhospitable deserts and badlands to inaccessible mountain tops he mysteriously came and went, rarely retracing his steps. Stride for stride, mile by mile no man’s moccasin prints ever trekked more land or blazed new trails. This is his story, from birth to his disappearance.

Book excerpt: Carney Light has no idea that Corey Foster is married—or that he’s using her to smuggle illegal methamphetamines. Jimmy Hurd's latest novel brings back the cast of characters from his racy first novel, Turnaround, in this fast-paced story of drug-smuggling, running from the law, and murder. Jerzy Rabideaux, Carney Light, Charlie Puckett, and Robinson Giles return in Jimmy Hurd's novel of suspense that covers ground from Georgia to Texas, with spine-tingling stops in Alabama along the way. Ice Dancer takes readers on a wild race to prove Carney Light's innocence in a drug charge conviction. When Carney begins to tell detectives about her current love interest, Corey Foster, they discover that Corey isn't who he seems. In fact, his real name is Nathan, and he runs a lucrative internet drug trade using innocent people like Carney to distribute methamphetamines. Will Carney be able to escape the sinister world in which she's entangled? Or will it be too late to mend her wild ways? Filled with secrets, lies, attempted murders, and revenge, Ice Dancer brings new meaning to the phrase "fast-paced." With an ending that will leave readers—and some characters— breathless, Ice Dancer is an impressive addition to Jimmy Hurd's gripping novels.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Demons in the Consulting Room: Echoes of Genocide, Slavery and Extreme Trauma in Psychoanalytic Practice isthe second of two volumes addressing the overwhelming, often unmetabolizable feelings related to mourning, both on an individual and mass scale. Authors in this volume explore the potency of ghosts, ghostliness and the darker, often grotesque aspects of these phenomena. While ghosts can be spectral presences that we feel protective of, demons haunt in a particularly virulent way, distorting experience, our sense of reality and our character. Bringing together a collection of clinical and theoretical papers, emons in the Consulting Room, reveals how the most extreme types of trauma can continue to have effects across generations, and how these effects manifest in the consulting room. Essays in this volume consider traumas that have affected multiple generations of people, such as the Holocaust, experiences in the gulags, and the experience of slavery. Authors here consider the clinical challenges of working with the demonic force in severe childhood abuse and the effects of serious and prolonged physical injury and illness. Inevitably, there is in such difficult clinical work, the combined effects of hauntings in the analysts and in patients and often in the surrounding culture. In this book, distinguished psychoanalysts explore the myriad forms of ghosts and the demonic, which interfere and disrupt the endlessly difficult psychic work of mourning. It will be of interest to psychotherapists and psychoanalysts, as well as social workers, family therapists, psychologists, and psychiatrists. emons in the Consulting Room ill appeal to those specializing in bereavement and trauma and, on a broader level, to sociologists and historians interested in understanding means of coping with loss and grief on both an individual and larger scale basis.

Download or read book 455 Days written by Robert J. Conine and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-02-18 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was like I was in battle, and a barrage of weaponry was thrown at me, like misgivings, haunting memories, and tears that were so poignantly and strategically shot. I had no defense, and in my mind, I became a casualty of war, believing I was wounded, lying in a hospital bed, relieved to be safe and out of the war. When I got home, I left the war in Vietnam, and once I was on American soil, life started over. The past was the past. The challenge of the next fifty years was to keep it in the past. But that wasn’t always easy. I had nightmares that subsided only when everyday life challenges took precedence in our family. I had moments of depression and guilt and memories that filled the spaces brought on by scents, sights, and sounds. I couldn’t read stories about Vietnam or view Vietnam films or war movies. I kept them out of my life. I had fifty years of denial, but one day, God, whom I kept in my back pocket, pulled my past out and placed it before me, demanding that I confront it. I prayed, “My God, who am I? Please help me,” and the rest is history. I am still dealing with it, but I am at peace. My spirit was wounded; now I’m healed. My story has changed over the years, but now it has a happy ending. This story represents one soldier’s feelings during battles and the daily regimen of a soldier waiting to fulfill their 365-day stint in ’Nam. It is the story of one man’s true feelings frozen for fifty years.
Download or read book Bleeding Blue written by Wendel Clark and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-10-03 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Funny, fierce, and gritty, Bleeding Blue recounts every struggle and success of Wendel Clark’s rough-and-tumble journey to becoming one of hockey’s greatest heroes. As a young boy growing up in Kelvington, Saskatchewan, Wendel Clark never dreamed of an NHL career. The pro league just seemed too far away from the young man’s small-town life in the Prairies. But Wendel had a talent for hockey that was surpassed only by his love for the sport, and it wasn’t long before he embarked on a path that would take him away from his hometown to a new life. Wendel honed his talents in cities across western Canada and earned a reputation as a force to be reckoned with on the ice. Drafted by the Toronto Maple Leafs first overall in the 1985 NHL Entry Draft, Wendel burst onto the pro scene and immediately made an impact, all the while staying true to his roots. As he learned from the players around him, Wendel steadily matured into a respected leader. He soon assumed the mantle as the Leafs captain, and his willingness to lay it all on the line transformed him into a player who could inspire courage in his teammates and fear in his opponents in equal measure. The future seemed limitless for the young star. But just as Wendel’s talents were set to peak, everything unraveled. Years of no-holds-barred, physical play were taking their toll, and soon his greatest competitor wasn’t anyone on the ice, but his own body. Every movement brought agony, every shift was a challenge, and every game meant the decision to keep fighting. But as Wendel’s body broke down, his resolve only grew. Determined to succeed no matter what the cost, Wendel set out on a course that would allow him to keep doing what he loved and that would turn him into one of the most beloved hockey players of all time. Emotional and uplifting, Bleeding Blue is the story of a man who refused to say no, who wore his heart on his sleeve, and who would do anything to keep going, even when everything told him to quit.
