Book excerpt: The Young Ones is a collection of stories from the wartime experiences of some of the American airmen who served in Europe and the Pacific during WW II. The stories are narrated by the airmen or submitted by relatives, and recount missions over enemy territory, encounters with enemy fighters, struggles to control battle damaged planes, crash landings, and bail out from exploding planes, often leaving behind dead and wounded buddies. Many airmen who survived these experiences were captured and spent the rest of the war as POWs. They were often brutally treated by their captors. However, some airmen managed to evade captivity and escaped. Some were on the run for months throughout Europe, some hiding for almost a year until war's end. Thousands of POWs in Germany were on the forced marches in the beginning of 1945, the Death Marches. Their suffering on these marches is painfully retold on some of these pages. These are the stories of some American airmen who served in the United States Army Air Forces during World War II, most of them only 19 or 20 years of age. These are the stories of The Young Ones.

Download or read book From Interrogation to Liberation written by Marilyn Walton and Michael Eberhardt and published by Author House. This book was released on 2014 with total page 741 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During World War II, 300,000 United States Army Air Corps airmen were shot down. Of that number, 51,000 were prisoners of war or listed as missing in action. Bombardiers, positioned in the vulnerable bombardiers' compartment at the front of the aircraft, were in high demand. The authors' fathers were two such bombardiers, one on a B-17 and the other on a B-24. Like so many of the post-war generation, the authors traveled on their own emotional journeys to reconstruct their fathers' WWII experiences. Their fathers fought in the flak-ridden "blue battlefield," and like thousands of other airmen shot out of the sky, became prisoners of war. They would endure deprivation, loneliness, and great peril. Held at Stalag Luft III, where the Great Escape of movie fame took place, they, along with the British, were eventually force marched 52-miles in the dead of winter to Spremberg, Germany, and loaded onto overcrowded, filthy, boxcars, the Americans to be taken to Stalag VIIA in Moosburg, Germany, or to Stalag XIII-D in Nürnberg. Languishing until their liberation in barbaric conditions with nearly 120,000 international POWs, they witnessed the death throes of the Third Reich. With many sons and daughters trying to explore the wartime histories of their loved ones, the authors supply crucial information and insight regarding the World War II POW experience in Europe. Often times, by necessity, that experience reflects the co-existence and tenuous relationship with the Germans holding them. In this book, there are stories that up until now have not been heard, and there are hundreds of pictures, many previously unseen, illustrating the prisoners' plight. This book is a documentation of riveting history and a chance to vicariously live the war, told through their voices --echoes now fading with time. Their sacrifices to ensure precious freedom should never be forgotten.

Book excerpt: December 21, 2012 is fast approaching. Youve heard the date, you know what it means: The End of Days, the fall of mankind, the end of the world, Armageddon. December 21st 2012, the Mayan Long Count Calendar ticks off its final day triggering the colossal battle between the forces of good and evil. Meanwhile, just months removed from averting death and disaster while recovering a massive haul of gold and silver from a long lost Spanish treasure ship, part time undercover operative Bear Mayne and his appallingly inappropriate brother lead a team of wondrously beautiful women as they become embroiled in a doomsday prophesy a thousand years in the making. While coming to the aid of a beautiful and mysterious coworker, Bear and his elite team of professionally amateur operatives learn the truth behind the myths and legends surrounding the Mayan civilization and their infamous long count calendar. Journeying from St. Augustine to the Mexican Yucatan and back, Bear and his team battle snipers, Nazi zombies, wild animals, poison dart shooting warriors, primitive and blood thirsty mobs as well as a score Mayan priests who just cant wait to offer up gringo blood to the dark gods of the cosmos. Along the way Bear inadvertently discovers clues to an unrelated Templar mystery and even has the occasion to participate in a sacred death match Mayan ballgame. With the skill born of hundreds of incursions behind enemy lines, Bear Mayne somehow steers his team through this maze of bizarre and unexpected dangers only to come face to face with the celestial firestorm that marks the beginning of the final battle between good and evil.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bought with a Price takes you inside the lives and principles of the life of Patrick E. Doherty, a father of eight, grandfather of thirty-four, and great-grandfather of eleven. The priorities he lived by and the love he demonstrated in raising his children serve as a parents’ guide to raising children in an environment of faith and family. His simple, straightforward views are timeless. On happiness, he said, “You will never be happy in life until you learn to celebrate the success of others.” On conflict resolution: “Always give people the chance to do the right thing.” He loved His Lord and lived an unapologetic life dedicated to His service. His life ended with a four-year battle with esophageal cancer. This narrative recalls the way he fought the battle and the self-examination this imposed on our family. We open up some very personal letters, poems, wedding vows, and decisions from various family members that demonstrate the principles of my father in the hopes that you can benefit from our experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is early 1952 and in Panamá the CIA is using “enhanced chemical interrogations” on former Soviet agents who have come over to the American side. Ostensibly, this is to determine the veracity of the agents, to determine whether they are true walk-ins or if they are, in reality, Soviet plants. But agents are dying under interrogation and Sam is determined to get to the bottom of it all. And what he eventually finds appears to be a conspiracy to protect the identity of an American turncoat hidden somewhere within the depths of The Agency. Closer to home, Sam is tasked with making sure the current president of Panamá is ousted prior to the American presidential election in November. Sam wants to accomplish this task with finesse and a lack of bloodshed by inducing a Panamanian coup, but he is given the order to get the job done by any means necessary. But Spears has close Panamanian friends and loved ones who may suffer harm in any collateral damage. Sam knows he must tread a careful path.
