Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An absolutely harrowing first-person account of the 94th Infantry Division’s bold campaign to break through Hitler’s “impregnable” Siegfried line at the end of World War II Eighteen-year-old William Foley was afraid the war would be over before he got there, but the rifleman was sent straight to the front lines, arriving January 25, 1945–just in time to join the 94th Infantry Division poised at Hitler’s legendary West Wall. By the time Foley finally managed to grab a few hours sleep three nights later, he’d already fought in a bloody attack that left sixty percent of his battalion dead or wounded. That was just the beginning of one of the toughest, bloodiest challenges the 94th would ever face: breaking through the Siegfried Line. Now, in Visions from a Foxhole, Foley recaptures that desperate, nerve-shattering struggle in all its horror and heroism.

Book excerpt: What will it take for Mankind to break out of his endless cycle of war and destruction? This cycle is repeated over and over again because of the way in which Man has chosen to view the world. In this novel, six characters with diverse backgrounds, known as The Foundation, set out to change this worldview. First, they must answer twelve of Mankind's oldest questions. Questions that Man has struggled with for centuries that have shaped his current perspective. During their quest for answers, the characters journey into prior lives and different realms of consciousness, which provides insight about their current paths as well as the evolutionary path of Mankind's group consciousness. The characters investigate the questions using all available sources and focus on the similarities of the world's religions and philosophies rather than their differences. With this perspective, the answers they develop are unique, yet consistent with enduring teachings and provide a complete, coherent view of the truth.

Book Synopsis Once Upon a Time in War by : Robert E. Humphrey
Download or read book Once Upon a Time in War written by Robert E. Humphrey and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2014-02-06 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the soldier on the front lines of World War II, a lifetime of terror and suffering could be crammed into a few horrific hours of combat. This was especially true for members of the 99th Infantry Division who repelled the Germans in the Battle of the Bulge and engaged in some of the most dramatic, hard-fought actions of the war. Once Upon a Time in War presents a stirring view of combat from the perspective of the common soldier. Author Robert E. Humphrey personally retraced the path of the 99th through Belgium and Germany and conducted extensive interviews with more than three hundred surviving veterans. When Humphrey discovered that many 99ers had gone to their graves without telling their stories, he set about to honor their service and coax recollections from survivors. The memories recounted here, many of them painful and long repressed, are remarkable for their clarity. These narratives, seamlessly woven to create a collective biography, offer a gritty reenactment of World War II from the enlisted man’s point of view. Although focused on a single division, Once Upon a Time in War captures the experiences of all American GIs who fought in Europe. For readers captivated by Band of Brothers, this book offers an often tragic, sometimes heartwarming, but always compelling read.

Book Synopsis Visions of Beirut by : Hatim El-Hibri
Download or read book Visions of Beirut written by Hatim El-Hibri and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2021-04-26 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Visions of Beirut Hatim El-Hibri explores how the creation and circulation of images have shaped the urban spaces and cultural imaginaries of Beirut. Drawing on fieldwork and texts ranging from maps, urban plans, and aerial photographs to live television and drone-camera footage, El-Hibri traces how the technologies and media infrastructure that visualize the city are used to consolidate or destabilize regimes of power. Throughout the twentieth century, colonial, economic, and military mapping projects helped produce and govern Beirut's spaces. In the 1990s, the imagery of its post-civil war downtown reconstruction cast Beirut as a site of financial investment in ways that obscured its ongoing crises. During and following the 2006 Israel/Hizbullah war, Hizbullah's use of live television broadcasts of fighting and protests along with its construction of a war memorial museum at a former secret military bunker demonstrate the tension between visualizing space and the practices of concealment. Outlining how Beirut's urban space and public life intertwine with images and infrastructure, El-Hibri interrogates how media embody and exacerbate the region's political fault lines.
Download or read book Driving Visions written by David Laderman and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the visionary rebellion of Easy Rider to the reinvention of home in The Straight Story, the road movie has emerged as a significant film genre since the late 1960s, able to cut across a wide variety of film styles and contexts. Yet, within the variety, a certain generic core remains constant: the journey as cultural critique, as exploration beyond society and within oneself. This book traces the generic evolution of the road movie with respect to its diverse presentations, emphasizing it as an "independent genre" that attempts to incorporate marginality and subversion on many levels. David Laderman begins by identifying the road movie's defining features and by establishing the literary, classical Hollywood, and 1950s highway culture antecedents that formatively influenced it. He then traces the historical and aesthetic evolution of the road movie decade by decade through detailed and lively discussions of key films. Laderman concludes with a look at the European road movie, from the late 1950s auteurs through Godard and Wenders, and at compelling feminist road movies of the 1980s and 1990s.

Download or read book Escapades of a Catholic Boy from Brooklyn written by Artie Mangravito and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2022-01-05 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Escapades of a Catholic Boy from Brooklyn By: Artie Mangravito I considered myself lucky as a child because although I was the only cousin, in a slew of cousins that did not have at least one sibling, I was privileged to have spent many sleepovers at Grandma and Grandpa Natoli’s house due to the fact that my parents enjoyed an active social life. Most Friday and Saturday evenings they could be found dancing it up with their friends at the Copacabana, a popular night club in Manhattan. So, I was deposited into the hands of Grandma Jean. I never really thought much about the fact that my mother and father chose to spend this time away from me. I did not think that I was that much trouble, but I suppose we all needed a break. I came to enjoy the extra special attention that I received from my grandmother, something that my cousins rarely experienced. It was rare for the entire family not to be at Grandma and Grandpa Natoli’s house for Sunday and holiday dinners. Aunts, uncles, and cousins all descended upon the house on 36th street. Mom’s siblings ranged from four older sisters and one older brother to one younger. Because she was the youngest daughter, she had it easier than her elder sisters. All Mom had to do was to devote her time to her education. This was something not stressed in most immigrant families. Escapades of a Catholic Boy from Brooklyn details Artie’s youth in Brooklyn, experiences in Catholic school, and his never-ending adventures.
Book Synopsis Come Share My Foxhole by : Richard Floyd
Download or read book Come Share My Foxhole written by Richard Floyd and published by . This book was released on 2019-03-29 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leave it to a world war to spawn a love story. Twenty-three year old Karl and nineteen year old Evie brimming with post-Great Depression enthusiasm watched their dreams vanish when Karl was drafted into the World War Two nightmare. His absence forced Evie to struggle with their handicapped infant son alone. Karl's transformation from civilian to soldier took Karl to stopovers in Wyoming, California, Ohio, and Virginia before he shipped out to England for his ordnance company's D-Day preparations. Fifteen months of his life were then spent on continental Europe as the Allies pummeled Nazi Germany to unconditional surrender. His war experiences changed Karl from a confident, but naive, young man into a hardened battle weary veteran. Lonely, Evie wrote letters of hope, worry, and anxiety. Karl wrote of his experiences during his exciting but mind numbing journey as if Evie were hunkered down next to him in a muddy foxhole with buzz bombs flying overhead. The two and a half year separation strained their marriage to the brink of disaster. Come read their story and letters as if you are sharing the foxhole with them.

Download or read book If You Survive written by George Wilson and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2010-11-10 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "If you survive your first day, I'll promote you." So promised George Wilson's World War II commanding officer in the hedgerows of Normandy -- and it was to be a promise dramatically fulfilled. From July, 1944, to the closing days of the war, from the first penetration of the Siegfried Line to the Nazis' last desperate charge in the Battle of the Bulge, Wilson fought in the thickest of the action, helping take the small towns of northern France and Belgium building by building. Of all the men and officers who started out in Company F of the 4th Infantry Division with him, Wilson was the only one who finished. In the end, he felt not like a conqueror or a victor, but an exhausted survivor, left with nothing but his life -- and his emotions. If You Survive One of the great first-person accounts of the making of a combat veteran, in the last, most violent months of World War II.
