Download or read book Pogiebait's War written by Jack H. McCall and published by Univ. of Tennessee Press. This book was released on 2023-02-03 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jack H. McCall Sr. was a born storyteller, an inveterate practical joker, and a proud Tennessean whose flaws included a considerable taste for candy, or “pogiebait” in Marine parlance. Like so many other able-bodied young people in on the eve of World War II, he decided to enlist in the wake of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Much more than a family memoir or nostalgic wartime reminiscence, this painstakingly researched biography presents a rich, engaging study of the U.S. Marine Corps, particularly McCall’s understudied unit, the Ninth Defense Battalion—the “Fighting Ninth.” The author provides a window into the day-to-day service of a Marine during World War II, with important coverage of fighting in the Pacific Theater. McCall also depicts life in wartime Franklin, Tennessee, and offers a poignant and personal tribute to his father. McCall dramatizes some of the classic themes of the war memoir genre (war is hell, but memories fade!), but he sets riveting descriptions of decisive action against rarely seen views of mundane work and daily life, supported with maps, photographs, and fresh interpretations. Another distinction of this work is its attention to the action on Guam, a very unpleasant late-war “mopping up” that has received relatively little scholarly attention. In his portrait of the bitter island-hopping war in the Pacific, the author shows how both U.S. and Japanese soldiers were often eager innocents drawn to the cauldron of conflict and indoctrinated and trained by their respective governments. Reflecting on the action late in life, Jack (as well as several other Ninth veterans) came to a begrudging respect for the enemy.

Dixon, commander of the Hunley who died with his vessel after sinking the USS Housatonic off the coast of Charleston, South Carolina. --Wayne T.

SAS Afghanistan veteran War is brutal. But there are lines that should never be crossed. In mid-2017, whispers of executions, and cover-ups within Australia's most secretive and elite military unit, the SAS, reached Walkley Award-winning journalist Nick McKenzie. He and Chris Masters began an investigation that would not only reveal shocking truths about Ben Roberts-Smith VC but plunge the reporters into the defamation trial of the century. For five years, McKenzie led the investigation, waging an epic battle for the truth to be acknowledged. His fight to reveal the real face of Australia's most famous and revered SAS soldier and examine evidence of bullying, intimidation, war crimes and murder would take him across Australia and to Afghanistan. As he unearthed the secrets Ben Roberts-Smith had thought he'd long ago buried, McKenzie had to deal with death threats, powerful forces intent on destroying his career and attempts to silence brave SAS soldiers, who had witnessed their famous comrade commit unspeakable acts. McKenzie would break the stories that proved the man idolised by the public, politicians, the media and leading business leaders was a myth. His efforts would help deliver justice to Roberts-Smith's victims and their families. Explosive and meticulously researched, Crossing the Line shares the powerful untold story of how a small group of brave soldiers and two determined reporters overcame a plot to suppress one of the greatest military scandals in Australian history.

Download or read book Ashes ... written by Stefan Żeromski and published by . This book was released on 1928 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shows the unsightly side of the Habsburg Empire. It is a declaration of disagreement with idealization of the Austrian partition and the model of state management used in its territory. From the postcolonial point of view, it is a novel about people and territories forced, in spite of bloody resistance, to become the periphery of an empire. The Old Republic of Poland was not a glorious metropolis, but it was still a metropolis. Colonization transformed and divided this metropolis into provinces of three empires, with all the consequences that a transformation of this kind brings. The so-called Polish Sarmatism, from which the heroes of Ashes derive endowed citizens of "Sarmatian" Poland with a sense of self-worth and liberty. Austrian colonization destroyed their liberty and compelled the Poles to serve the interests of their conquerors. Ashes is a narrative of the Sarmatian culture that survived among the nobility with pedigrees and estates, and was also potentially present among smallholders with no pedigree and no assets. The novel suggests that it is not necessary to be a noble to possess the sense of liberty that the Republic of Poland developed and cultivated.
Book Synopsis The Jacob Commitment by : Atanasio FdH
Download or read book The Jacob Commitment written by Atanasio FdH and published by Babelcube Inc.. This book was released on 2022-01-08 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE JACOB COMMITMENT by Atanasio FdH Was there really an opportunity to save the Jewish people from extermination? Holocaust ... the word alone is chilling. A word capable of evoking terrifying images of gas chambers, sinister uniforms with skulls and hundreds of human bodies burning in crematoria ovens. And in the end, a number, a terrible figure, a dreadful toll of six million souls. During that criminal darkness there were some memorable actions, flashes of humanity that saved a few from death. And it is precisely those isolated cases that lead us to a disturbing question: if it was possible to save a few thousand ... how many more could have lived? Was there really a chance to save the Jewish people from extermination? "The Jacob Commitment" tells of the second mission of Simon de Haro, the Jesuit of the Holy Alliance, the Vatican Secret Service, who will risk his life in a desperate attempt to reach an agreement between the Third Reich, the Allies, and the International Jewish Community; a compromise to safeguard the lives of the Jews of Europe. He will perish before the horror of Auschwitz, and only a Jewish woman, Hannah Kozlova, will be able to bring him back to life.
