Book Synopsis Women of the Military by : Amanda Huffman
Download or read book Women of the Military written by Amanda Huffman and published by . This book was released on 2019-06-12 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women of the Military is a compilation of 28 stories of women who have started their path to military life, are currently serving, separated or retired. There are 4 stories from women in the process of joining, 14 stories from Air Force members, 8 stories from the Army, 1 from the Navy, and 1 from the Marine Corps. Women have served in the American military since as far back as the Revolutionary War. As years passed the role of women in the military has grown and changed. In 1948, women were allowed to serve in the US Military outside of war periods. During the Vietnam War, Cmd. Elizabeth Barrett was the first women to hold command in a combat zone. In 1976, the first woman attended a military academy. In 1998, female fighter pilots flew the first combat mission. And in 2016, after years of women serving in combat roles during Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan) and Operation Iraqi Freedom, all jobs were open to women in the military. There is such a rich history of women serving in the military. And while at one point in time most women served in the role of a nurse. Today, women are a part of every job. The role of women expanding military wasn't by chance. Instead, it was from women proving over and over again that they were a valuable asset and could be used and relied on in the field of battle. How do we know what happened beyond the highlights written in history books? I wanted to answer these questions so I started a journey. A journey to hear the stories of military women. Today I host a podcast, Women of the Military, where I get to talk to women who have served in the military. But before the podcast, my interviews were back and forth on paper. I have put together these stories. Women who have served as far back as Vietnam and as current as those entering the military in 2018. Stories from women who have served in the Army, Air Force, Navy, and Marines. If you've ever wondered what it's like to serve as a female in our military, you need to read this book.

Download or read book "The Problem" written by F. Gilmore and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2011-02-02 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DEAR READER: It is of no purpose of mine to make an appeal to your sentimental nature in lauding the exploits of the principal characters, or to exaggerate the facts associated with their life. You will note, in depicting the scenes, that the actual time and date are given to guide you through the eventful career of the principals. The scenes are natural, and are brought to your notice daily. What we do claim is, that the dictates of conscience prevail throughout. The sacrifice exhibited is natural and the description of the action of the soldiers and the noble display of bravery are all too true. In all, as you follow through the many perilous scenes and incidents of this romantic novel, may the lesson taught bring us closer to mankind and that we may be charitable in thought and deed. As time passes, we are slowly drawing to the place where there is no race, no creed, no color.

Book Synopsis Soldiers and Marines by : Martin Archer
Download or read book Soldiers and Marines written by Martin Archer and published by . This book was released on 2020-07-16 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a good read. It is the first novel in an action-packed saga that follows the life of a soldier from his youth in the Korean War to his middle age in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, and elsewhere in wars yet to come. It is fast paced and action-oriented as casualties and a willingness to sign up for additional front line tours and new wars result in Chris Roberts shouldering responsibilities far beyond his years. Fans of WEB Griffin, Larry Bond, and Harold Coyle will enjoy this great addition to military fiction. Peace and Conflict is the second book in "The Soldiers and Marines" series. It follows Chris Roberts as he serves a peacetime hitch in Europe broken by several assignments to Vietnam - first with the fabled Second Parachute Regiment of the Foreign Legion as it goes down at Dien Bien Phu and then as an observer of the military effort to defeat the Viet Cong.The third novel "War Breaks Out" describes the role and decisions of Roberts and his men when the Marines, reserves, and National Guard troops rush to Europe to reinforce NATO and participate in the intense war of air and armor that might have occurred if Russia's paranoid leaders had decided to invade Germany and fight NATO instead of giving up power and freeing their satellite nations. The fourth and fifth novels of the saga are set in the near future and describe the decisions and intense combat that may be about to happen: "War in the East" describes what happens when the US sides with Russia when China invades Russia to retake its traditional lands in the Russian east. The fifth, "The Israel's Next War," describes the intense combat and agonizing decisions that occur when the rise of militant Islam and the threat of nuclear war results in a coalition of Islamic Countries launching a surprise attack on Israel that permanently changes the boundaries and nations of the Middle East. Martin Archer is also the author of the great saga about a company of English archers during and after King Richard's crusade. Inevitably outnumbered, they use training and modern weapons such as the longbow and bladed pikes to win battles and riches, and in the process become the forerunners of what will one day become one of the world's great fighting forces - the English-speaking soldiers and Marines who are trained to fight both on land and on sea. All of Martin's books are available as digital books on Amazon and many are in print. You can find them by searching for "Martin Archer fiction."

Download or read book Hook Up written by William P. Singley and published by Warriors Publishing Group. This book was released on 2014-05-29 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was an Army between wars. Korea was a fresh memory for some soldiers and Vietnam was only an insignificant blip on the military radar. It was an Army in which reluctant draftees mixed with aimless volunteers looking for adventure and ways to test or confirm their manhood. In those days and in that Army; “hook-up” was a jump command for paratroopers rather than a romantic liaison. Hook Up: A Novel of Fort Bragg takes us inside that Army and introduces fascinating characters who are struggling to become paratroopers and survive in a starch-stiff U.S. Army airborne regiment based at Ft. Bragg; North Carolina. Side-by-side in that demanding trek are officers like Lieutenant Sy Margolin; a potential nebbish who instead becomes a strong leader; and enlisted men like Privates Willie Patterson and Scott Breslin; who challenge authority every step of the way to winning their paratrooper wings. In Hook Up we get a close-up; very personal; and fascinating look at an Army that no longer exists—an Army populated with soldiers who have either learned hard life lessons or are about to learn them in a crucible where failure can land you in the stockade or in the morgue. From the rigors of barracks life to the raucous off-post adventures to the thrilling jump sequences; Hook Up is a fast-paced; thrilling story of military excellence pursued and human innocence lost. "Hilarious, irreverent, irrelevant, racist, profane, vulgar, tragic: all describe the lives of teenage paratroopers in William Singley's Hook Up, a novel about of the 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg in the late 1950s...I recommend Hook Up. All the Way!" – Joe Epley, Military Writers Society of America
Download or read book The Supe written by John Vermillion and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-06-09 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Army General Harris Green begins to suspect that President Keith Rozan's halting leadership of the US military will lead to catastrophic results for the country down the line, General Green must ask himself an important question: Should a military leader forsake his commissioning oath when a president acts outside the bounds of the Constitution? Tipped off by White House aides that President Rozan has imminent plans to change the character, purpose, and future of the US Military Academy, General Green realizes he must take action. And he knows just the man with the courage and character to fight Washington from behind the Superintendent's desk at West Point: Marine General Simon Pack. Hardheaded and unswervingly devoted to his missions, General Pack resigned from the US Marine Corps out of revulsion at the rise of careerism among senior leaders. But with time running out, will General Green persuade him to return to active duty to save the Academy's future-and the future of the US military? A thought-provoking and controversial story that asks hard questions about military-civilian relations, The Supe is essential reading for anyone who cares about the future of the military in this country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One Helluva Soldier is the story of 21 year-old George Martin, graduate of Officers Candidate School Class of 9-A. In spite of being known as one helluva soldier to those who served with him, he was subjected to harassment from two other officers who pegged him as homosexual. This continued throughout his service as forward observer, and into a POW camp. One of the most dynamic stories told in this decade. Previous to the Korean Conflict, most of the enlisted men who served had been on occupation duty in Japan and many had never fired their rifles. In this account, they face highly trained North Koreans who have artillery, machine guns, air support, and Russian tanks. Americans had none of those. Phil Kline's book follows fellow Class 9-A graduates, some of whom became prisons of war.
