Book Synopsis A Terrible Loyalty by : William Roskey
Download or read book A Terrible Loyalty written by William Roskey and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-07-12 with total page 672 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historical Fiction at its Best! One of the first reactions of many who have read this book is to say that it is far more than a novel about riveting submarine action in World War II. That it is, above all, a book about an extraordinary group of characters and the events that shaped them into the men and women they were when, without warning, 353 Japanese planes swooped down out of a clear cobalt sky on a quiet Sunday morning to wreak havoc on the United States Navy's Pacific Fleet, which lay quietly at anchor in Pearl Harbor. Dade Bowie is a 31-year old submarine skipper, the product of poverty and an abusive home life in West Texas. He is secretly afraid that he lacks the courage he needs to go into combat. Rachael Wyer spent 20 unsuccessful years as a missionary in a small Japanese fishing village, and, after Japanese naval cadets brutally murder her husband, she leaves to return to the United States. On her way back in April 1941, the Office of Naval Intelligence recruits her to translate intercepted Japanese naval communications in one of the most highly classified operations run by the United States. As she watches the attack in horror, she is 39-years old, and has already come to hate the Japanese even before this day. She and Dade Bowie will meet in the days following the attack and become lovers. They will battle the Japanese, naval bureaucracy, fear, conflicting loyalties, and their own personal demons in the desperate months that follow.

Download or read book Loyalties written by Evie Yoder Miller and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-10-09 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set against the backdrop of three major American Civil War battles at Antietam, Vicksburg, and Gettysburg, the same five narrators return to tell the stories of what happened in their communities of conscience. Members of Mennonite, Amish, and German Baptist churches choose their loyalties, when their traditional belief of not participating in warfare collides with the demands of Union and Confederate forces. As state and national military drafts and exemptions sweep through the North and South, women and children find themselves raising crops in the Shenandoah Valley, while the “menfolk” join up or flee. Fretz Funk, a young man in Chicago, lives with uncertainty also, immersed in his new lumber business, disenchanted with the glorification of war on both sides, and disappointed by President Lincoln’s slowness in establishing equality for dark-skinned people. A bishop in Iowa fears the growing fissures in the Amish church and sorts through his own failures. A family in western Virginia faces the repeated absence of Poppa, when he is forced to work as a teamster. The war pushes relentlessly from the summer of 1862 through January of 1864, creating a cumulative pressure of upheaval, dissension, resistance, and teetering faith among civilians.

Book Synopsis The Limits of Loyalty by : Jarret Ruminski
Download or read book The Limits of Loyalty written by Jarret Ruminski and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2017-09-15 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jarret Ruminski examines ordinary lives in Confederate-controlled Mississippi to show how military occupation and the ravages of war tested the meaning of loyalty during America's greatest rift. The extent of southern loyalty to the Confederate States of America has remained a subject of historical contention that has resulted in two conflicting conclusions: one, southern patriotism was either strong enough to carry the Confederacy to the brink of victory, or two, it was so weak that the Confederacy was doomed to crumble from internal discord. Mississippi, the home state of Confederate President Jefferson Davis, should have been a hotbed of Confederate patriotism. The reality was much more complicated. Ruminski breaks the weak/strong loyalty impasse by looking at how people from different backgrounds--women and men, white and black, enslaved and free, rich and poor--negotiated the shifting contours of loyalty in a state where Union occupation turned everyday activities into potential tests of patriotism. While the Confederate government demanded total national loyalty from its citizenry, this study focuses on wartime activities such as swearing the Union oath, illegally trading with the Union army, and deserting from the Confederate army to show how Mississippians acted on multiple loyalties to self, family, and nation. Ruminski also probes the relationship between race and loyalty to indicate how an internal war between slaves and slaveholders defined Mississippi's social development well into the twentieth century.

Book Synopsis Loyalty on the Line by : David K. Graham
Download or read book Loyalty on the Line written by David K. Graham and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2018-12-15 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the American Civil War, Maryland did not join the Confederacy but nonetheless possessed divided loyalties and sentiments. These divisions came to a head in the years that followed the war. In Loyalty on the Line, David K. Graham argues that Maryland did not adopt a unified postbellum identity and that the state remained divided, with some identifying with the state’s Unionist efforts and others maintaining a connection to the Confederacy and its defeated cause. Depictions of Civil War Maryland, both inside and outside the state, hinged on interpretations of the state’s loyalty. The contested Civil War memories of Maryland not only mirror a much larger national struggle and debate but also reflect a conflict that is more intense and vitriolic than that in the larger national narrative. The close proximity of conflicting Civil War memories within the state contributed to a perpetual contestation. In addition, those outside the state also vigorously argued over the place of Maryland in Civil War memory in order to establish its place in the divisive legacy of the war. By using the dynamics interior to Maryland as a lens for viewing the Civil War, Graham shows how divisive the war remained and how central its memory would be to the United States well into the twentieth century.

Book Synopsis A Crisis of Loyalties: The Destruction and Abandonment of the Gosport Navy Yard by : Stephen Chapin
Download or read book A Crisis of Loyalties: The Destruction and Abandonment of the Gosport Navy Yard written by Stephen Chapin and published by Vernon Press. This book was released on 2024-04-02 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the opening days of the American Civil War, the U.S. Navy suffered the catastrophic loss of its most valuable navy yard at Gosport, Virginia, commonly known as the Norfolk Navy Yard. Its fate was sealed by Virginia’s vote for secession and the subsequent resignation of most of the yard’s Southern officers, leaving its commandant, Charles Stewart McCauley, virtually defenseless. Early in the morning of Sunday, 21 April, fleeing federal forces set fire to and abandoned the Gosport Navy Yard, burning ten warships and surrendering 1,200 naval guns to Virginia’s militia. A year later, the Confederate ironclad "Virginia", built on the charred hulk of the steam frigate "Merrimack", chose the sloop "Cumberland"—the one ship to escape Gosport—as her first target during the Battle of Hampton Roads. "Virginia" then attacked the frigate "Congress", leaving in her wake nearly 280 dead or wounded Union sailors and two sunken ships. The birds from the disaster of Gosport had finally come home to roost. In his quest to uncover the details behind Gosport’s destruction, the author methodically cross-tracked chronologies, carefully examined primary sources and dug deeper into the principal officers’ backgrounds to grasp just what was in their minds during the hours leading up to the navy yard’s burning. This fresh focus has yielded a more nuanced explanation of McCauley’s decision to hold back "Merrimack", of Paulding’s rush to burn the yard and run, and of opportunities for success missed by all three commodores present. "A Crisis of Loyalties" is the first full-length work of history to present the entire story of the destruction and abandonment of the Gosport Navy Yard.

Book Synopsis Creating Customer Loyalty by : Chris Daffy
Download or read book Creating Customer Loyalty written by Chris Daffy and published by Kogan Page Publishers. This book was released on 2019-04-03 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consumer-facing and business-to-business organizations know that if they get their approach to customers right, they will be rewarded with unprecedented customer loyalty. This will lead to increased market share, improved sales, an enhanced reputation and higher profitability. Despite this, many of today's companies fail to recognize that the notable improvements in their service delivery are not keeping up with increased customer expectations. Creating Customer Loyalty outlines simple, easy to understand strategies for creating a sustainable customer loyalty management programme that will win loyal customers. Demonstrating how to focus solely on the things that enable and enhance success, this book shows how to make loyalty a habit and structure a business that attracts and retains the best customers. Using examples from both UK and international companies such as Lexus, Aldi, Dyson, The Ritz-Carlton and Virgin Atlantic, Creating Customer Loyalty explains why customer experience management alone does not build lasting loyalty, and why customer expectation and customer memory management are essential. It outlines how to make every occasion epic by removing those 'ouch' moments, replacing them with 'wow' experiences, and developing dazzling recovery techniques to create unforgettable stories and positive memories.
