Book excerpt: Author Dan Rodgers was in college taking pre-med, had a possible professional baseball career in the offing, and was driving race cars hoping to get on the NASCAR circuit when he received his dreaded draft notice. Two days before he married his lovely wife, Sue, Dan was drafted into the Army. The author and a few friends were sent to Vietnam on the adventure of a lifetime. Dan was a squad leader and sergeant in the Vietnam War and was directly involved in the Tet Offensive in 1968. At one point during Tet, his company lost 126 men in less than two hours. Dan earned the Silver Star when he and a comrade rescued five soldiers trapped in an armored tank. He was wounded twice and received two Purple Hearts. At one point, Dan was asked to become a war correspondent and carry a mini camera. He kept notes on whatever paper he could find to write on, but writing the names of dead comrades was tough. Dan lives with the pain of losing his personal friends. His wife is a testament to his nightly torment, as he still suffers with nightmares and flashbacks of the war. Writing this book started as an exercise to relieve stress. Dan would present his writings to doctors, who in turn suggested that he form a chronological order of events.

Book excerpt: SYNOPSISSERGEANT ROCK evolved from a na�ve, morally good, Christian, church going, baseball playing, skinny little college kid to a hardcore well-trained killing machine in Vietnam. From California to the Tet Offensive of 1968, the cultural shock is overwhelming! He is thrust into war and killing. He finds that his approach to life and death has to be changed quickly. Sgt. Rock is pressured to change his values but he holds fast to his beliefs. He, at times, does things uncharacteristically to save others. Sgt. Rock's attitude toward killing and death changes for the worst, but his approach toward life improves. Sgt. Rock is a much better person for the choices he makes.In the course of a single Tet Offensive battle, Sergeant Rock's company loses all but thirteen men in just two hours. His faith increases when he actually meets his guardian angel amidst a desperate battle. He knows he needs help for he cannot save everyone by himself.Sergeant Rock quickly learns that just staying alive comes at a premium price. It takes a quantum amount of deaths to save a few. His responsibilities go from taking care of only himself, to being responsible for the lives of his men, and the deaths of hundreds of his enemy. Sergeant Rock knows whom he can depend on to save lives. He knows which men to watch because if they don't adhere to his directions they, or someone else, will die.He pushes his squad and his friends to their limits, because he knows that death for all may be just past the next bush. He may be only twenty but he thinks like a forty-year-old veteran. The body count soon is shoved so deep in his mind he wonders if he can ever be around normal people again.Sergeant Rock experiences many horrors, such as watching a head being cut off from a VC. He watches friend after friend die as heroes. He is challenged with decisions about what's right and what's wrong. He quickly sees that not all things are black and white.Friendly fire for sleeping on guard duty wounds a man in Sergeant Rock's squad. This is another dilemma he has to figure out. In every company there are comedians, killers, liars and heroes. Mike Rydser makes plenty of jokes and makes everyone laugh. He also cuts off a head of a VC. Sgt. Rock believes that Mike Rydser holds a wounded, captured VC under water until he dies then unties the VC from the stretcher. The VC is floating down the river. Mike Rydser's comment was, "He tried to escape Sarge!" Chuck Lewis is Sergeant Rock's best friend and right hand man. They are from the same area in California. Chuck and the Sergeant fight side by side. Emerald is afraid of everything. Sergeant Rock teaches him to kill or be killed at the DMZ, by leaving him by himself to defend a position. The hardships his squad must face, such as going without fresh water or clothes for fifty-seven days, being shot down several times in a chopper, and just trying to stay alive is overwhelming. Sergeant Rock and his company fight the VCs and NVAs all the way north to the DMZ, losing men and being mentally strained as they traveled. How much can our minds take before they crack? Sergeant Rock believes that it is only through divine intervention that he is alive to tell his story.

Book Synopsis They Answered the Call by : Gil Dominguez
Download or read book They Answered the Call written by Gil Dominguez and published by Publish America. This book was released on 2004 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latinos have fought in every conflict in which the United States has been involved, from the American Revolution to Operation Iraqi Freedom. Regardless of whether they were inductees or volunteers, Latino soldiers, sailors, airman, and Marines served with great distinction and bravery, compiling a record of courage unmatched by any other group of Americans: Thirty-nine Medals of Honor earned -- fourteen of those for service in Vietnam. Yet the American public is largely unaware of the sacrifices made by Latino citizens, mainly because of the lack of writings on the subject. This book is an attempt to fill the void in the literature dealing with the role of Hispanics in war; in this case, America's longest and most unpopular conflict. The author interviewed twenty-one warriors who candidly relate their experiences in combat and share their feelings about the war and what it means to be a Latino Vietnam vet.

Book excerpt: Before I wrote this book, I interviewed police officers, detectives, police chiefs, captains, and sergeants. Many of these fine groups of people told me that the atrocities in my book happen every day. I was told that there are many people in law enforcement that are like the main character, David Stone. David Stone takes the law into his own hands and gets rid of the bad guys and only the bad guys. I have asked most of the law enforcement people if I could quote them directly and use their names. Each and every one of them emphatically told me no! Some disclosed to me that there are people, good, honorable people, even today are getting rid of the bad guys. Generally, the criminals that rape and torture their victims are the ones that never make it to court. At times during my interviews, I was surprised at what I was entrusted with. Therefore, I did not know if I could place my book under nonfiction, based on true events, or fiction, describing imaginary events. Needless to say, I dislike violent criminals, Blacks that hate Whites, Whites that hate Blacks, Mexicans who hate both Blacks and Whites, and Blacks that hate Mexicans. Some say my book is too graphic. However, it is based on true events. Dan Rodgers was drafted into the Army and sent to Vietnam for the Vietnam War. He was a squad leader and sergeant and was involved in the Tet Offensive. He was wounded twice and received two Purple Hearts.

Fortunate Son takes readers from Fogerty's Northern California roots, through Creedence's success and the retreat from music and public life, to his hard-won revival as a solo artist who finally found love.

Book excerpt: An unforgettable novel from the New York Times bestseller Gordon Korman Link, Michael, and Dana live in a quiet town. But it's woken up very quickly when someone sneaks into school and vandalizes it with a swastika. Nobody can believe it. How could such a symbol of hate end up in the middle of their school? Who would do such a thing? Because Michael was the first person to see it, he's the first suspect. Because Link is one of the most popular guys in school, everyone's looking to him to figure it out. And because Dana's the only Jewish girl in the whole town, everyone's treating her more like an outsider than ever. The mystery deepens as more swastikas begin to appear. Some students decide to fight back and start a project to bring people together instead of dividing them further. The closer Link, Michael, and Dana get to the truth, the more there is to face-not just the crimes of the present, but the crimes of the past. With Linked, Gordon Korman, the author of the acclaimed novel Restart, poses a mystery for all readers where the who did it? isn't nearly as important as the why?
Download or read book Raven Rock written by Garrett M. Graff and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-05-02 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now a 6-part mini-series called Why the Rest of Us Die airing on VICE TV! The shocking truth about the government’s secret plans to survive a catastrophic attack on US soil—even if the rest of us die—is “a frightening eye-opener” (Kirkus Reviews) that spans the dawn of the nuclear age to today, and "contains everything one could possibly want to know" (The Wall Street Journal). Every day in Washington, DC, the blue-and-gold first Helicopter Squadron, codenamed “MUSSEL,” flies over the Potomac River. As obvious as the Presidential motorcade, most people assume the squadron is a travel perk for VIPs. They’re only half right: while the helicopters do provide transport, the unit exists to evacuate high-ranking officials in the event of a terrorist or nuclear attack on the capital. In the event of an attack, select officials would be whisked by helicopters to a ring of secret bunkers around Washington, even as ordinary citizens were left to fend for themselves. “In exploring the incredible lengths (and depths) that successive administrations have gone to in planning for the aftermath of a nuclear assault, Graff deftly weaves a tale of secrecy and paranoia” (The New York Times Book Review) with details "that read like they've been ripped from the pages of a pulp spy novel" (Vice). For more than sixty years, the US government has been developing secret Doomsday strategies to protect itself, and the multibillion-dollar Continuity of Government (COG) program takes numerous forms—from its potential to evacuate the Liberty Bell from Philadelphia to the plans to launch nuclear missiles from a Boeing-747 jet flying high over Nebraska. Garrett M. Graff sheds light on the inner workings of the 650-acre compound, called Raven Rock, just miles from Camp David, as well as dozens of other bunkers the government built for its top leaders during the Cold War, from the White House lawn to Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado to Palm Beach, Florida, and the secret plans that would have kicked in after a Cold War nuclear attack to round up foreigners and dissidents and nationalize industries. Equal parts a presidential, military, and cultural history, Raven Rock tracks the evolution of the government plan and the threats of global war from the dawn of the nuclear era through the War on Terror.
