Download or read book My Longest Night written by Genevieve Duboscq and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 1984-06-01 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the 1st UK edition, hardback, published in 1984 by Leo Cooper, with dustjacket, ISBN 0436138107, 222 pages. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Note - the book was published with the wrong ISBN on the bibliographic details page (0436377055); the correct ISBN is on the back dustjacket flap. The book was originally published in the native French in 1978 by Editions Robert Laffont entitled 'Bye Bye Genevieve'. It was subsequently published in New York in 1981 by Seaver Books. Contents: Such was the sleepy nature of the Normany town of Sainte-Mere-Eglise and such was the hostile nature of the "vast area of marshes and lowlands" surrounding it, that it seemed immune from the terror and chaos of war. Indeed, it seemed hard to imagine the local people ever hearing more than the distant rumblings of war or suffering more than those minor discomforts and humiliations which plague a rural community largely left alone by an Army of Occupation. The evening of June 5th, 1944 seemed like any other, yet for Genevieve Duboscq, not yet twelve, and her five-year-old brother, that evening would become their longest night - one they would never forget. An American paratrooper appeared on the Duboscq's doorstep quickly followed by other battered emmissaries of freedom. The Duboscq's house became an emergency shelter; their knowledge of the region the difference between life and death, success and failure to those liberators from the sky. 'My Longest Night', with exemplary simplicity and poignancy, depicts D-Day and what followed in a way that it has never been presented before. Genevieve Dubsocq emerges as a remarkable young woman whose story will touch the hearts and minds of all who read it

Book excerpt: A scintillating debut novel about a young couple whose marriage is tested when they move to an army base rife with love triangles, life-or-death conflicts, and a dramatic cover-up In 1959, Nat Collier moves with her husband, Paul, and their two young daughters to Idaho Falls, a remote military town. An Army Specialist, Paul is stationed there to help oversee one of the country’s first nuclear reactors—an assignment that seems full of opportunity. Then, on his rounds, Paul discovers that the reactor is compromised, placing his family and the entire community in danger. Worse, his superiors set out to cover up the problem rather than fix it. Paul can’t bring himself to tell Nat the truth, but his lies only widen a growing gulf between them. Lonely and restless, Nat is having trouble adjusting to their new life. She struggles to fit into her role as a housewife and longs for a real friend. When she meets a rancher, Esrom, she finds herself drawn to him, comforted by his kindness and company. But as rumors spread, the secrets between Nat and Paul build and threaten to reach a breaking point. Based on a true story of the only fatal nuclear accident to occur in America, The Longest Night is a deeply moving novel that explores the intricate makeup of a marriage, the shifting nature of trust, and the ways we try to protect the ones we love. Praise for The Longest Night “[A] stunning debut.”—Entertainment Weekly “[A] smart and detailed portrait of a dissolving postwar marriage . . . will remind many readers of Richard Yates’s Revolutionary Road.”—San Francisco Chronicle “[Andria] Williams’s quietly confident style is without swagger or gimmick. . . . What emerges most powerfully from The Longest Night is a kind of quiet wonder at the exquisite intricacy, but astonishing durability, of familial love.”—Los Angeles Review of Books “Think Army Wives meets Serial meets your perfect long weekend read. About an army base with a lot of love triangles, and a cover-up.”—theSkimm “The tension builds heavily with each page.”—InStyle “Scintillating . . . A smoldering, altogether impressive debut that probes the social and emotional strains on military families in a fresh and insightful way.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “[A] luminous debut . . . Williams expertly builds tension between Paul and Nat as the story progresses towards the inevitable nuclear tragedy in this utterly absorbing and richly rewarding novel.”—Booklist (starred review) “Andria Williams’s debut is an intimately detailed portrait of love, trust, and guilt in a town—and an era—clouded with secrets.”—Celeste Ng, author of Everything I Never Told You “A smart and compassionate novel that offers as many fresh insights into marriage and intimacy as it does about American nuclear history. Andria Williams is a terrific writer—clear-eyed and empathetic—and this is a fantastic debut.”—Molly Antopol, author of The UnAmericans “It’s hard to believe The Longest Night is Andria Williams’s debut novel. Her command of language, character and plot—the three essential ingredients for a riveting read—is extraordinary.”—David Abrams, author of Fobbit

She’d been a high-society party girl since her days at college, and her two greatest passions were keeping up appearances and having a roaring good time. Women like that don’t kill themselves, and Deirdre’s father wants to prove that his girl didn’t die by her own hand. To get the truth, he hires Washington DC’s sharpest private detective, Chester Drum. After all, Drum knew Deirdre better than anyone—he was married to her./divDIV /divDIVBut in a town built on lies, Deirdre lived with more than her fair share of secrets, and the first thing Drum learns is that his late ex-wife was a prominent member of the Communist Party, supporting the local cell with endless donations from her fat checkbook. Did leftist sympathies get Deirdre killed? The truth lies in Venezuela—and Chester Drum has gone farther than that for answers before./div

Book excerpt: “An emotionally stirring account of the single most devastating attack on London during the Blitz… A captivating and important contribution… History that reads like a novel.”—Kirkus The untold story of the massive bombing raid that almost brought Britain to military collapse, The Longest Night reveals just how close the Luftwaffe came to total victory. On the night of May 10, 1941, Nazi Germany sent some five hundred aircraft to drop more than seven hundred tons of explosives on London. This vivid, dramatically told account depicts how fate shifted based on Hitler's mistaken belief that he'd actually lost the air war over Britain, and portrays the unsurpassed, "we-can-take-it" bravery of the British people when they'd been pushed beyond all human endurance. “An excellent book… Gavin Mortimer has interviewed scores of survivors for his gripping narrative.”—Andrew Roberts, The Wall Street Journal

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our buildings are making us sick. Our homes, offices, factories, and dormitories are, in some sense, fresh parasites on the sacred Earth, Nahasdzáán. In search of a better way, author Jim Kristofic journeys across the Southwest to apprentice with architects and builders who know how to make buildings that will take care of us. This is where he meets the House Gods who are building to the sun so that we can live on Earth. Forever. In House Gods, Kristofic pursues the techniques of sustainable building and the philosophies of its practitioners. What emerges is a strange and haunting quest through adobe mud and mayhem, encounters with shamans and stray dogs, solar panels, tragedy, and true believers. It is a story about doing something meaningful, and about the kinds of things that grow out of deep pain. One of these things is compassion—from which may come solace. We build our buildings, we make our lives—we are the House Gods.

Download or read book And Some Fell on Stony Ground written by Leslie Mann and published by Icon Books Ltd. This book was released on 2014-09-04 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A unique glimpse of the deadliest profession of the Second World War. In June 1941, Flight Sergeant Leslie Mann, a tail gunner in a British bomber, was shot down over Düsseldorf and taken into captivity. After the war, wanting to record the experiences of the RAF's 'Bomber Boys', he gave voice to his private thoughts and feelings in a short novella, uncovered only after his death. Visceral, shocking and unglamorous, this compelling story transmits as rarely before the horrors of aerial warfare, the corrosive effects of fear, and the psychological torment of the young men involved. The sights, sounds, smells, and above all the emotional strain are intensely evoked with a novelist's skill. And Some Fell on Stony Ground is introduced by historian Richard Overy, author of the acclaimed book, The Bombing War (2013).

This book was released on 2015-02-09 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 4: Two distinct parts of the story. Book 1 - 'The Longest Night' is set between 8pm and 8am, the critical night battle in Germany between NATO and the New Red Army. The war in Europe has reached critical mass and it is a race between the Red Army and the newly arrived US and Canadian 4 Corps. The winner owns Europe. Just one last push by the New Warsaw Pact will clear away SACEUR's gambit and the last division standing between the Red Army and the Channel Ports. It is the Longest Night for everyone, and the last night for many. Book 2 - 'Crossing the Rubicon' The war in Europe has reached its bloody end and the troops came home to less than gratitude from the politicians. In the Pacific all eyes are on the Spratly Islands as the Allies combat the Chinese 3rd and 6th Armies, but the aftermath in Europe may have left the US and the ANZACs standing alone, or has it? Soldiers have more honour than politicians at the end of the day.

Book excerpt: A hot new Desert Dogs novel from the author of Lay It Down Keep your friends close—and your enemies closer.... Bar owner Raina Harper can’t say for sure what Duncan Welch is to her. With her small Nevada town under siege by a ruthless casino development and still reeling from a spate of murders, she knows that trusting the public face of the corporate invaders is risky to say the least. Though, damn, it’s one fine-looking face.… Duncan may be a mercenary when it comes to getting the job done, but he’s no villain. In fact, the calculating fixer soon finds himself in the bad guys’ crosshairs, framed and facing professional ruin. To clear his name, he’ll need help from Raina and her roughneck motorcycle club, the Desert Dogs. Gaining their trust won’t be easy, and the molten sexual tension between Raina and Duncan only makes things more complicated—especially since Miah Church, Raina’s friend and ex-lover, would sooner strangle Duncan than shake his hand.

Book excerpt: The cosmic centre of the universe - Mount Kailasha, and the full moon night of Sheetkaleen Aayanaat that happens once in decades sets the premise of the events that come into play. Inspired by the Bhagwad Gita and Vedic Literatures, the novel Turiya - The Fourth is a story about a clan led by a mystic called Abhirakshak (possessor of the mighty powers). They are a secret group disguised in the real world. One of them is a renowned professor who designs an intricate maze to protect Shakti Yantra, an alien instrument that gives superhuman powers to its possessor, and an ancient book of secrets about universal occult powers, from the evil powers of the darkness.

In this chase many incredible, lethal weapons and cosmic powers come into play. Will the good prevail over the evil? Can the evil master be stopped in his tracks from gaining access over the mighty Shakti Yantra? What cost will be paid to fight the battle of survival for humanity? Answers to these riddles lie in this book that unravels an incredible tale of mysteries and events in the game of power accession.

Book excerpt: This book details my childhood, moving from Rockfort Kingston to St. Johns Road, Spanish town. Life was hard for my parents. I drop out of school and started learning welding with my father, I started doing things to make money, mainly construction. Life was rough, on the site wasn’t easy. I was exposed to hard core stuff like knives and gun violence, among other things. I learnt that life lesson, things spiralled and I went to prison. It was while in prison I learned it was a dark place which I will discuss in this book. I encounter the most ruthless criminals, rapist, robbers to murderers. I spoke to a lot of inmates daily who details things that they did. For instance, Wes man, who killed and ate his victim’s, a man by the name of John that killed his daughter, another man that assaulted and tortured his baby mother in most inhumane way , by inserting a piece of hot steel inside her. I learn about the Galas, the area, where the death penalty is carried out. I spoke with a girl called Andrea who was raped by her brother a police officer. I also speak with Selena, who used her menstrual to cook stew peas and gave it to an English man to control him and his money. These are some of the stories that inspired me to write Vision of Byron Needle.
