Download or read book The Last 100 Days written by John Toland and published by Modern Library. This book was released on 2014-11-26 with total page 643 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A dramatic countdown of the final months of World War II in Europe, The Last 100 Days brings to life the waning power and the ultimate submission of the Third Reich. To reconstruct the tumultuous hundred days between Yalta and the fall of Berlin, John Toland traveled more than 100,000 miles in twenty-one countries and interviewed more than six hundred people—from Hitler’s personal chauffeur to Generals von Manteuffel, Wenck, and Heinrici; from underground leaders to diplomats; from top Allied field commanders to brave young GIs. Toland adeptly weaves together these interviews using research from thousands of primary sources. When it was first published, The Last 100 Days made history, revealing after-action reports, staff journals, and top-secret messages and personal documents previously unavailable to historians. Since that time, it has come to be regarded as one of the greatest historical narratives of the twentieth century.
Download or read book The Command written by David Poyer and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2007-04-01 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After receiving the Congressional Medal of Honor for action in Iraq, Commander Daniel V. Lenson's new orders read: take over as skipper of USS Thomas W. Horn. His mission: prepare the Tomahawk-equipped strike destroyer and her crew for the Red Sea, where she'll join an international task force searching for weapons of mass destruction. But this will be no routine deployment. Horn will be the first US Navy warship ever to deploy with an integrated male and female crew-a controversial and politically explosive experiment that will raise questions about morale, behavior, training, sexual attraction, and ultimately, performance under fire. Facing sandstorms, smugglers, and ambushes, Horn's increasingly polarized crew will conduct demanding, diplomatically sensitive search-and-seizure operations against foreign vessels attempting to smuggle arms to Iraq. But the real nightmare's brewing in Bahrain. There, the most dangerous bomb expert in Al-Qaeda has targeted Horn for attack- as the first step in a plan to redraw the map of the whole Middle East. With gripping action scenes and an explosive climax, The Command continues Dan Lenson's star-crossed career in a series that explores both global and deeply personal implications of honor, duty, power, and war.

It’s fast becoming the bloodiest manhunt Luke’s ever seen—and the final showdown could be his last . . . Live Free. Read Hard.
Book Synopsis The Letter Killeth by : Kevin Gallagher
Download or read book The Letter Killeth written by Kevin Gallagher and published by Kevin Gallagher. This book was released on 2006-05 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to bolster the lagging spirits of Orange County Catholics stunned by the largest legal judgment in history against the church, Pope John Paul II¿s last official act is the installation of a local cardinal. The diocesan headquarters at Marywood is put on the auction block, while parish churches and schools around the county are being auctioned to developers. Alice Hudson, the matriarch of an influential Orange County family, sits in a place of honor at Our Lady of the Oranges Cathedral. She savors the crowning moment of her life¿s ambition as the pope places the scarlet biretta on her son Michael¿s bowed head¿but her joy is short-lived. Alice¿s daughter, Sara, is head of the district attorney¿s sexual assault unit and is bringing charges against Michael and his aides. They had knowledge of the criminal conduct of a sexually predatory priest¿and allegedly failed to report him. Author Kevin E. Gallagher has created an eerily accurate account of the Catholic Church¿s struggle to confront and root out the evil wielded by the sexually predatory priests infecting their ranks. ¿The Letter Killeth is a timely, objective, and most entertaining work that puts a fictional face on the reality of this crisis in the church. Gallagher has taken a very serious subject, coated it with lively writing and humor, and made it an enjoyable, thought provoking, and entertaining experience." -- JACK MILES, PULITZER PRIZE WINNING AUTHOR "Timely! This very well written book is right out of the headlines" -- FORMER EDITOR, L.A. TIMES BOOK REVIEW A grim tale of sex crimes, family betrayal and the Church. In his third novel, (after Divine Lunacy, 2000, and The Fourth Trimester, 1993), criminal trial attorney and former Marine captain Gallagher heads for the courtroom to give fictional treatment to the recent sex scandals that rocked the Catholic Church. The driving narrative holds the reader hostage until the end. Da Vinci Code devotees¿as well as those interested in the machinations of the Catholic clergy¿will devour this macabre account of what happens when ambition collides with the brutal reality of the sexual abuse of children. -Kirkus Discoveries

Everything is spinning out of control. Including my abilities. The crime rate is soaring. People are dying in a small town that hasn’t had a suspicious death since 1921. And now Graham and I are sure that same killer is after me. He or she has already taken out my dad and my aunt by somehow trapping them within their own minds. He’s powerful. So powerful that he controls my ability to find out who he really is. The clock is ticking and I’m running out of time to save everyone I love from a murderer who can kill with his mind. “I really enjoyed the story, and while I did guess the killer, I didn't guess who it was until the chapter before it was revealed.

Book Synopsis Miracle Country by : Kendra Atleework
Download or read book Miracle Country written by Kendra Atleework and published by Algonquin Books. This book was released on 2021-06-01 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE SIGURD F. OLSON NATURE WRITING AWARD “Blending family memoir and environmental history, Kendra Atleework conveys a fundamental truth: the places in which we live, live on—sometimes painfully—in us. This is a powerful, beautiful, and urgently important book.” —Julie Schumacher, author of Dear Committee Members and The Shakespeare Requirement Kendra Atleework grew up in Swall Meadows, in the Owens Valley of the Eastern Sierra Nevada, where annual rainfall averages five inches and in drought years measures closer to zero. Her parents taught their children to thrive in this beautiful if harsh landscape prone to wildfires, blizzards, and gale-force winds. Above all, the Atleework children were raised on unconditional love and delight in the natural world. But when Kendra’s mother died when Kendra was just sixteen, her once-beloved desert world came to feel empty and hostile, as climate change, drought, and wildfires intensified. The Atleework family fell apart, even as her father tried to keep them together. Kendra escaped to Los Angeles, and then Minneapolis, land of tall trees, full lakes, water everywhere you look. But after years of avoiding her troubled hometown, she felt pulled back. Miracle Country is a moving and unforgettable memoir of flight and return, emptiness and bounty, the realities of a harsh and changing climate, and the true meaning of home. For readers of Cheryl Strayed, Terry Tempest Williams, and Rebecca Solnit, this is a breathtaking debut by a remarkable writer.
