Book Synopsis Rough Cut from a Bygone War by : Bert Quint
Download or read book Rough Cut from a Bygone War written by Bert Quint and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sam Sloane is an over-the-hill foreign correspondent still plagued by painful memories of his reporting days in Vietnam. He has refused to adapt to the cheapening of TV news and is called home to be fired. Back in the mahogany foxholes of New York, he finds himself confronting not only today’s corporate America, but the demons of his own past. A wounded cameraman helps him to deal with the nightmares and face the future. It’s a story of the intense friendship of comrades who live together and come close to dying together. It is also a poignant tale of Americans and Vietnamese, frightened men and lonely women, and of one little girl who is the symbol of wartime Vietnam. There is tragedy and profanity and dark humor but this story tells of more than man’s inhumanity to man. It speaks of man’s humanity to man.

Book Synopsis The Journals of Constant Waterman by : Matthew Goldman
Download or read book The Journals of Constant Waterman written by Matthew Goldman and published by Breakaway Books. This book was released on 2014-06-12 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Boats and life This is an unforgettable collection of ninety short tales about the boating Matthew Goldman has done in his life—in sailboats, canoes, rowboats, and other floating craft. All these memoirs deal with the water—from the puddle to the sea. They wander, as reflective as a sandy-bottomed brook. They linger, as wistful as an idle boat in summer. They revel, as jubilant as broaching porpoises. Who will want to read about Constant Waterman? Anyone who’s ever paused to watch a water strider; anyone who’s ever stood and listened to the sea; anyone who leans when they see a sloop heel; anyone who hopes to find a message in a bottle. Here is that message. Unfold it carefully, read it aloud. Read about boats; read about passages; read about islands; read about the rain. Learn about a murder in the woods by the river; learn about restoring a wooden boat. Hear about sailors, boat builders, ferrymen; hear about canoeing amid the marshes. The best part about it? You don’t have to spend your time sanding and varnishing. You don’t need to don any foul weather gear. You don’t need to know a bowline from a boom vang, or know how to pole a canoe. Here is the world of Constant Waterman: wry, introspective, intimate, impassioned. Turn another page. You may find a lighthouse, you may find a swan. You’ll hear the hoarse cadence of the sea grinding shingle, the wrinkling song of a stream through the forest, the complaint of the wind in your standing rigging. Listen. *Includes 50 beautiful pen-and-ink drawings by the author. *

Book Synopsis All Manner of War by : Pamela Dunnam
Download or read book All Manner of War written by Pamela Dunnam and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2021-10-28 with total page 826 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sending four sons to war while meeting the challenges of the farm on the hill they cherish, an Alabama family experiences the War Between the States from different viewpoints, facing all manner of war on all fronts and at home. They are changed forever through the long five years of the war, coming face-to-face with so many pivotal events of the times. As much as the political circumstances of the day drive their actions and decisions, they come to realize they are a family connected by a common cause, that their family is the most important gift they have, to be treasured and protected. No matter who the enemy at the door, or the challenges they face, the common theme is the family spirit and driving desire to be whole again on the hill they call home. As each son joins the Confederate Army to serve with General Lee in Virginia, ride with the cavalry in Tennessee, or suffer the tedium of fort life on the gulf, each experiences the time in similar but different ways. The family at home must handle the burden of a blockaded existence while holding out hope and prayers for the sons to return home, while losses from the hill mount by the score. It is a story filled with desperation, fear, anger, and exhilaration, a journey through every emotion of the human soul.
Book Synopsis The Polish Army 1939–45 by : Steven J. Zaloga
Download or read book The Polish Army 1939–45 written by Steven J. Zaloga and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-06-20 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poland was the first of the Allied nations to succumb to German aggression in the Second World War, but by the most tortuous of routes her army managed to remain in the field through all five years of bloody fighting. Polish soldiers fought in nearly every major campaign in the European theatre, and their tale is a complicated and tragic one. This richly detailed text by Steven Zaloga relates the story of the Polish Army during the Second World War, from the first wave of Stukas in 1939 to its eventual conclusion.
Book Synopsis Coalition of the unWilling and unAble by : John R Deni
Download or read book Coalition of the unWilling and unAble written by John R Deni and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2021-01-12 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why does the United States need European allies, and why is it getting more difficult for those allies to partner with Washington in standing up to China, pushing back against Russia, and pursuing other common interests around the world? This book addresses the economic, demographic, political, and military trends that are fundamentally upending the ability and willingness of European allies to work with Washington. Brexit and its impact on Britain’s economy and its military, Germany’s seemingly relentless economic and political rise, France’s continuing economic malaise, Italy’s aging population and its withdrawal from major overseas operations, and Poland’s demographic decline and single-minded obsession with Russia will combine to make partnership with Washington nearly impossible. In short, the constellation of allies and partners the United States has relied on since 9/11 will look very different a decade from now. How should Washington respond? It doesn’t hold all the cards, but this book offers an array of practical recommendations for American leaders. By leveraging these proposals, U.S. policy-makers can avoid the worst-case scenarios and make the most of limited opportunities.
Book Synopsis Projecting Britain at War by : Jeremy Havardi
Download or read book Projecting Britain at War written by Jeremy Havardi and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-02-28 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This detailed chronological analysis of British World War II movies from 1939 until the present explores how films projected recognizable stereotypes of British national character and how the times in which a film was made shaped its perspectives. Several chapters look at films made during and immediately after the war. In depictions of the Home Front, characters display resolve as well as emotional restraint and present an image of an undivided society cooperating to fight evil. By contrast, duty and service are the paramount virtues of combat films while spy melodramas exemplify the British love of improvisation. Fifties war films are examined against the backdrop of alarm and uncertainty caused by the Cold War. Such films reflect traditional national character stereotypes, though the stiff upper lip begins to be questioned by the end of the decade. The book then traces the radical effect of the 1960s revolution, revealing how the fondness for skeptical antiwar movies went hand in hand with the questioning of Britain's place in the world. The book ends by looking at recent war films and asks whether these reflect the cult of narcissism so prevalent in modern Britain.

Book excerpt: Do Gods actually exist? The answer to one of life’s ultimate questions is finally answered. Turns out they do…………………..Just not the kind we were hoping for! When five Gods appear on Earth, they bring with them a reign of destruction that wipes out half the population and most of the Earth’s infrastructure in one single day, and a message for those who remain. Serve your Gods as they demand, or die! From the rubble, a new way of life is born. Strict and harsh in equal measure as the humans are put to work serving their Gods. Money, wealth and greed become things of the past. Five great pyramids are constructed for the Gods, large enough to contain a whole city. One in each of their chosen lands, within the five most populated continents on Earth. Near to each pyramid, another grand building is constructed. Home to the only form of entertainment found on the New Earth, The Colosseums. Centuries since the last gladiators pitted their wits against each other, the blood sport returns in abundance as the Gods train and hone their champions of the arena, then face off against the other Gods in organised wars. Thousands of men and women savagely dying, purely for the entertainment and bragging rights of each God. When a young gladiator named Jacob rises up through the ranks, the humans soon discover he represents their greatest hope of rebelling against the all-powerful Gods. However, when Jacob falls for the charms of the beautiful Goddess Petra, his divided loyalty is called into question in ways he could never have imagined.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stops Along the Way tells tales of ten red-headed Catholic children raised on a farm in the ’60s, just seventy miles from our nation’s capital yet so rural that they could be welcomed by both the KKK and a diminutive black man who would become part of the family; attending high school in the ’70s in another country on another continent alone with two brothers, free to explore mysterious castles and watch gripping bullfights while enrolled in a school built in the Middle Ages; working in the ’80s in the most successful political enterprise of its time, yet forgotten just one generation later; shooting commercials in war zones while accused of starting a war; and have you ever wondered what it was like to take off on one airplane from inside a cornfield, or look out the window of another and watch a rocket ship fly by? Stops Along the Way tells all this, and so much more—timeless stories that are the perfect antidote for today’s poisonous headlines.
