Book excerpt: The unknown story of how a fleet of Australian fishing boats, trawlers and schooners supplied US and Australian forces in the Pacific - and helped turn the course of World War II. Mid-1942: from China to New Guinea, the Pacific belonged to the Japanese. In this desperate situation, a fleet of hundreds of Australian small ships is assembled, sailing under the American flag, and crewed by over 3000 Australians either too young or too old to join the regular armed forces. Their task: to bring supplies and equipment to the Allied troops waging bloody battles against Japanese forces across the South Pacific. THE RAG TAG FLEET is the unknown story of the final months of 1942 - when these men ran the gauntlet of Japanese air attacks, malaria and dysentery, reefs, and shallow, shark-infested waters to support the US and Australian troops that defeated the entrenched Japanese forces at Buna on the New Guinea coast, and so helped turn the war in the Allies' favour. Their bravery, ingenuity and mettle helped turn the tide of the war. For the first time, their story is told. 'enthralling . . . makes for a fascinating read.' CANBERRA TIMES

After a break-in at their London home, Kat Wolfe and her veterinarian mum decide it’s time to move to the country. Dr. Wolfe’s new job on England’s Jurassic Coast comes with a condition: They have to adopt Tiny, a huge Savannah who resists Kat’s best attempts at cat whispering. Kat starts a pet-sitting agency to make pocket money, but then the owner of her first client, an Amazon parrot, vanishes from his gadget-filled mansion. Only one person shares Kat’s conviction that he’s the victim of foul play: Harper Lamb, an American girl laid up with two broken legs thanks to her racehorse. Kat and Harper team up, but what starts out as mystery-solving fun turns deadly for the duo. When all clues point to a nearby army base, can they count on their unruly animal friends to save the day—and their lives?

Download or read book Revelation for the Revolution written by Francis Levi and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2020-04-21 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My name is Francis Levi. Well, not really, that's just a pseudonym. You see, every character in Revelation for the Revolution is an actual person, so I have changed our names to keep us anonymous. We characters lived the content, and the content is very real. I invite you to enter into our dialogue, the questioning, the seeking of Truth. This is something that will touch your core and suck you into the saga of actually knowing yourself. Honest transparency shows both the ugliness and beauty of our human experience. I have shared mine so that you might judge yours and test the existence we now share. The Foundation takes you through my coming-of-age moment in time. It begins after my high school graduation in 2002 and ends just before I enter graduate school in 2007. My goal in this four-part series is to empower you, to show you how I have changed since college over thirteen years, to encourage you to own your own life's story. Remember, if your life/world is not how you want it to be, change it so that you might be fulfilled. I do not believe in fate; however, I do see how good may come from the evil horrors that free will (by its very nature) must allow to exist. I hope you will too. Flip through these pages and see if anything hits you. Look at the illustrations, read a poem, see if anything corresponds. Enter the story. It begins now.

Book Synopsis High on the Mountain by : B. V. Johnson
Download or read book High on the Mountain written by B. V. Johnson and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2014-07-30 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High on the Mountain is a prophetic and historical documentation of the Jewish people. Four thousand years ago, the Jewish people were in an area which would, two thousand years later, be named by the Romans as Palestinia. God made a covenant with Abraham and his descendants that the land would be theirs forever. Prophecy stated that the Jewish descendants would go into captivity. Four hundred fifty years later they were led from their Egyptian captivity and occupied the land of their fathers. High on the mountain of Moriah was a city called Jerusalem, which would become their capital city under David. There was also a thirty-five-acre plot of land that had been dedicated as the Temple Mount and would become known to the world as the holiest plot of land in the world. The Jewish people and their beloved city would survive until 587 BC, when they were taken into captivity by the Babylonians. They would return to the land that they considered their homeland. They were almost completely destroyed by the Romans in AD 70 and would be scattered throughout the world. The land became a desolation and unproductivejust as prophecy had stated. Although they have been subjected to a multitude of attacks, cruelties, persecutions, and deaths by the millions, they would again return to their beloved land and become the Nation of Israel. They would reclaim their capital city of Jerusalem and the Temple Mount. A land that was said to be dead forever would again flourish and become productive. Why was this land so important? What is their claim to the land? Who actually owns the land? How could a land become productive again and better than before? What has the prophetic word of God said about this land and these people? High on the Mountain will address all these questions and much more.
Book Synopsis Guerrilla Warfare in Civil War Missouri, Volume I, 1862 by : Bruce Nichols
Download or read book Guerrilla Warfare in Civil War Missouri, Volume I, 1862 written by Bruce Nichols and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2013-10-18 with total page 598 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a thorough study of all known guerrilla operations in Civil War Missouri in 1862, the year such warfare became the primary type of military action there and the year that the state saw almost constant fighting. An enormous variety of sources--military and government records, private accounts, county and other local histories, period and later newspapers, and secondary sources published after the war--are used to identify which Southern partisan leaders and groups operated in which areas of Missouri, and to describe how they operated and how their kinds of warfare evolved. The actions of Southern guerrilla forces and Confederate behind-enemy-lines recruiters are presented chronologically by region so that readers may see the relationship of seemingly isolated events to other events over a period of time in a given area. The counter-actions of an array of different types of Union troops are also covered to show how differences in training, leadership, and experiences affected behaviors and actions in the field.
Download or read book The Race written by Joe Perez and published by Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency. This book was released on 2016-06-02 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joe Perez describes his compelling life story, filled with hardships, danger, and triumph. Dedicated to future generations, his memoir includes the grit and grind of growing up in Brooklyn, New York. It also demonstrates that anything is possible if you don’t give up and that one person can make a difference. With real life adventures that readers will relate to, the autobiography is interwoven with historical accounts of what was happening in the world at the time. His story spans from Brooklyn to the Bronx, to the woods of upstate New York. It describes how Joe and his brother, Ralph, started their careers as EMS workers. Joe was the co-founder of the nationally acclaimed Bedford-Stuyvesant Volunteer Ambulance Corps, in which he and partner James Rocky Robinson faced overwhelming odds in the city’s war zone known as Do-Or-Die Bed-Stuy. Struggling against vicious drug dealers, the duo organized a rag-tag team of community residents trying to save lives. “U.S. News & World Report” calls the area the Kill Zone of the United States. The organization went from the outhouse to The White House, by saving lives today and building new tomorrows. This inspirational story shows how these two men started an organization in an abandoned building and showed thousands a way out of poverty. They took people off welfare, replacing the gold chains that gang members wore with stethoscopes. The corps transformed street people into EMS workers for the NYC Fire Department, and trained countless police officers, physician assistants, nurses, and doctors. Ambulance service response time went from 20 minutes to four minutes, setting a national standard and was named “a thousand points of light organization” by President Bush.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jonathan waited. His friend near death. His life fueled by forgetfulness and isolation. He wanted nothing more than to go home. To watch the Brevington Knights face off against whatever foe dare challenge them. But he couldn't. For all that he'd lost over the years, Charles was the only person to remain. His friend gasped. Life slowly ebbing. A familiar pain creeping up his spine as Jonathan waited for the Reaper to claim one more victim. Instead, he heard a whisper.

Book Synopsis The Theatre of Genocide by : Robert Skloot
Download or read book The Theatre of Genocide written by Robert Skloot and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 2008-02-15 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this pioneering volume, Robert Skloot brings together four plays—three of which are published here for the first time—that fearlessly explore the face of modern genocide. The scripts deal with the destruction of four targeted populations: Armenians in Lorne Shirinian’s Exile in the Cradle, Cambodians in Catherine Filloux’s Silence of God, Bosnian Muslims in Kitty Felde’s A Patch of Earth, and Rwandan Tutsis in Erik Ehn’s Maria Kizito. Taken together, these four plays erase the boundaries of theatrical realism to present stories that probe the actions of the perpetrators and the suffering of their victims. A major artistic contribution to the study of the history and effects of genocide, this collection carries on the important journey toward understanding the terror and trauma to which the modern world has so often been witness.

Book Synopsis The Association ‘Cherish’ by : Malcolm C. Searles
Download or read book The Association ‘Cherish’ written by Malcolm C. Searles and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The very first full biography of The Association, one of the most successful bands to come out of the mid-1960s US folk-rock boom, with some of the most distinctive harmony sounds of the era, but one that is largely overlooked today. The group achieved two US Billboard Number One hits, a number of further Top 20 places, along with a run of successful best-selling LPs. In addition, whilst often credited as being one of the hardest working bands of the era, they are also honoured as having the second-most played song on US radio history during the 20th century! This extensive biography looks at the early foundations of the line-up, from the various group member’s struggles in an early 1960s Los Angeles, touring the folk clubs and coffee houses, through to their 1965 breakthrough and their first recording contract. Then, follow the band through the heady days of a psychedelic 1960s America, and into the confusion of the 1970’s where tragedy, disappointment and disarray left the band on the edge of breakup. The careers of each of the band members are discussed at length as they came, left and re-joined, most notably during the 1980s reunion tour, with full access to the recollections from principle members Jules Alexander, Terry Kirkman and Jim Yester. Finally, we bring the story fully up to date, with the band celebrating their 50th Anniversary and still out on the road, playing to packed venues across the country. Cherish IS indeed the word

Download or read book The Naga Queen written by Vicky Thomas and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2011-11-30 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1937, Ursula Bower visited Nagaland at the invitation of a friend, and on a dispensary tour encountered the Naga people. She was so taken was with their striking dignity, tribal pride and unique culture that she arranged to live among them to write an anthropological study. But she became more than an observer – living alone among them, Ursula was integrated into their village life, becoming their figurehead when in 1944 the Japanese invaded the jungles of Nagaland from Burma. The Nagas turned to her for leadership and with the support of General Slim, her Naga guides were armed and trained to patrol and repel the Japanese incursions. The Nagas' courage and loyalty were duly recognised, and after the conflict Ursula, with Naga support, went on to run a jungle training school for the RAF. Later, with her husband, Tim Betts as Political Officer, she worked among the volatile tribes of the remote Apa Tani Valley, bordering Tibet. Following the Independence of India in 1947, Ursula returned to her highland roots, but to her death in 1988, her experiences among the Naga people shaped and directed her life.
