Book Synopsis Land of a Thousand Eyes by : Peter Olszewski
Download or read book Land of a Thousand Eyes written by Peter Olszewski and published by Allen & Unwin. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A trio of colourfully dressed women tottered and teetered delicately through the water, holding hands, laughing. They were jewels in a sea of shit, standing out against the muddied monochrome of the monsoon's detritus, and they represented the admirable qualities of the Myanmar that I had come to love: the ability not only to make do, but to giggle and pursue life with joie de vivre, despite the deprivations dished out by the elements or by the military masters.' As a former rock magazine editor, editor of Australian Playboy, creator of Nation Review's cult hero JJ McRoach, official Australian minder' to Dr Hunter S Thompson and leader of the Australian Marijuana Party, Peter Olszewski has lived an interesting and varied life. But all this seemed ordinary compared to the year or so he spent in Yangon training journalists for the main English-language newspaper, the Myanmar Times. Myanmar is a country known mostly for its repressive military regime, so the exciting and vivid world he found there was not the one he expected. He fell in love with the country, the people and one woman in particular. Land of a Thousand Eyes is a rare glimpse into one of the world's most secretive and isolated countries.

No-one - not even bullying Gary Deacon - dares venture far into its sooty darkness.

Book Synopsis Land of a Thousand Hills by : Rosamond Halsey Carr
Download or read book Land of a Thousand Hills written by Rosamond Halsey Carr and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2000-09-01 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1949, Rosamond Halsey Carr, a young fashion illustrator living in New York City, accompanied her dashing hunter-explorer husband to what was then the Belgian Congo. When the marriage fell apart, she decided to stay on in neighboring Rwanda, as the manager of a flower plantation. Land of a Thousand Hills is Carr's thrilling memoir of her life in Rwanda—a love affair with a country and a people that has spanned half a century. During those years, she has experienced everything from stalking leopards to rampaging elephants, drought, the mysterious murder of her friend Dian Fossey, and near-bankruptcy. She has chugged up the Congo River on a paddle-wheel steamboat, been serenaded by pygmies, and witnessed firsthand the collapse of colonialism. Following 1994's Hutu-Tutsi genocide, Carr turned her plantation into a shelter for the lost and orphaned children-work she continues to this day, at the age of eighty-seven.
Book Synopsis Ten Thousand Eyes by : Richard Collier
Download or read book Ten Thousand Eyes written by Richard Collier and published by Canelo. This book was released on 2024-01-18 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Without the networks of the French Resistance, the invasion would not have been possible' Major General Walter Bedell Smith, Chief of Staff, Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force Days after France fell in June 1940, Charles de Gaulle appointed André Dewavrin to create, from scratch, the Free French Intelligence Service. Recruiting agents among the sailors, farmers, painters, housewives and children of Occupied France, he managed cells of spies across the country, and focused their attention on one goal: preparing for the Allied invasion of France, even at the risk of torture and death. Hitler’s fortifications along the European coastline – known as the Atlantic Wall – were their target. Gun battery locations, troop movements, and more... All this information was funnelled back to the Allies by a network of brave individuals, creating a living map that became essential to the planning of D-Day, and the selection of Normandy as the invasion point. Using a wealth of material both published and unpublished, including interviews with Dewavrin and de Gaulle himself, Collier has produced an authentic record of one of the most remarkable episodes of the Second World War; a human story of a group of ordinary people whose faith paved the way for Eisenhower’s great sweep across Europe. Perfect for readers of Antony Beevor and Max Hastings.

Life in East Germany in the early 1980s is not easy for most people, but for Lena, it’s particularly hard. After the death of her parents in a factory explosion and time spent in a psychiatric hospital recovering from the trauma, she is sent to live with her stern aunt, a devoted member of the ruling Communist Party. Visits with her beloved Uncle Erich, a best-selling author, are her only respite. But one night, her uncle disappears without a trace. Gone also are all his belongings, his books, and even his birth records. Lena is desperate to know what happened to him, but it’s as if he never existed. The worst thing, however, is that she cannot discuss her uncle or her attempts to find him with anyone, not even her best friends. There are government spies everywhere. But Lena is unafraid and refuses to give up her search, regardless of the consequences. This searing novel about defiance, courage, and determination takes readers into the chilling world of a society ruled by autocratic despots, where nothing is what it seems.
