Book excerpt: “Riveting.” —The New York Times From the New York Times bestselling author, a breathtaking account of combat and survival in one of the most brutally challenging and rarely examined campaigns of World War II In April 1942, the Imperial Japanese Army steamrolled through Burma, capturing the only ground route from India to China. Supplies to this critical zone would now have to come from India by air—meaning across the Himalayas, on the most hazardous air route in the world. SKIES OF THUNDER is a story of an epic human endeavor, in which Allied troops faced the monumental challenge of operating from airfields hacked from the jungle, and took on “the Hump,” the fearsome mountain barrier that defined the air route.They flew fickle, untested aircraft through monsoons and enemy fire, with inaccurate maps and only primitive navigation technology. The result was a litany of both deadly crashes and astonishing feats of survival. The most chaotic of all the war’s arenas, the China-Burma-India theater was further confused by the conflicting political interests of Roosevelt, Churchill and their demanding, nominal ally, Chiang Kai-shek. Caroline Alexander, who wrote the defining books on Shackleton’s Endurance and Bligh's Bounty, is brilliant at probing what it takes to survive extreme circumstances. She has unearthed obscure memoirs and long-ignored records to give us the pilots’ and soldiers’ eye views of flying and combat, as well as honest portraits of commanders like the celebrated “Vinegar Joe” Stillwell and Claire Lee Chennault. She assesses the real contributions of units like the Flying Tigers, Merrill’s Marauders, and the British Chindits, who pioneered new and unconventional forms of warfare. Decisions in this theater exposed the fault-lines between the Allies—America and Britain, Britain and India, and ultimately and most fatefully between America and China, as FDR pressed to help the Chinese nationalists in order to forge a bond with China after the war. A masterpiece of modern war history.

Download or read book Sons of Thunder written by John James Boanerges and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-06-10 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A few years ago, I gave my granddaughter a KJV Bible. On the inside cover, I wrote "In this book are all of the answers to all of life's questions." At one time in our history, nearly every home had a family Bible. In it were kept the records of births, deaths, marriages, and many other events that occurred in the family. If a home today has a Bible, it is most likely to gather dust. To those who attend church, it may or may not be opened up on Sunday. Bible studies have become more social planning events than they have in studying the Word of God. Dark days are upon us. Most people have just enough religion to inoculate them against the real thing. Too many have embraced their vanities and have fallen prey to the ravenous lion. My prayer is that this book will prompt readers to examine more closely both what they believe and why they believe it. It is my hope that the reader will become more educated and encouraged to study God's Word. If this writing encourages but one soul to seek a deeper relationship with Jesus, then all will have been worth every effort. No greater reward can be given to the writer than to know that I had some small role to play in the salvation of a wandering soul. Solomon made us to know that of the making of books, there is no end. The technological era that we live in has us plugged into all sorts of devices. Perhaps we should unplug from the world long enough to discover what really matters.

Book excerpt: A loud clap of thunder booms, and rattles the windows of Grandma's old farmhouse. "This is Thunder Cake baking weather," calls Grandma, as she and her granddaughter hurry to gather the ingredients around the farm. A real Thunder Cake must reach the oven before the storm arrives. But the list of ingredients is long and not easy to find . . . and the storm is coming closer all the time! Reaching once again into her rich childhood experience, Patricia Polacco tells the memorable story of how her grandma--her Babushka--helped her overcome her fear of thunder when she was a little girl. Ms. Polacco's vivid memories of her grandmother's endearing answer to a child's fear, accompanied by her bright folk-art illustrations, turn a frightening thunderstorm into an adventure and ultimately . . . a celebration! Whether the first clap of thunder finds you buried under the bedcovers or happily anticipating the coming storm, Thunder Cake is a story that will bring new meaning and possibility to the excitement of a thunderstorm.

Download or read book Assault on Fort Blakeley, The: The Thunder and Lightning of Battle written by Mike Bunn and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2021-03 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the afternoon of April 9, 1865, some sixteen thousand Union troops launched a bold, coordinated assault on the three-mile-long line of earthworks known as Fort Blakeley. The charge was one of the grand spectacles of the Civil War, the climax of a weeks-long campaign that resulted in the capture of Mobile--the last major Southern city to remain in Confederate hands. Historian Mike Bunn takes readers into the chaos of those desperate moments along the waters of the storied Mobile-Tensaw Delta. With a crisp narrative that also serves as a guided tour of Alabama's largest Civil War battlefield, the book pioneers a telling of Blakeley's story through detailed accounts from those who participated in the harrowing siege and assault.
