Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Connecticut Senator Tom Felice, a decent, four-term, highly honored Democratic member of Congress, fights for his life in a private room for high-level politicians at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington. He is within mere steps of the grievously wounded and mutilated soldiers whom he had betrayed and from which the VIP patients in Ward 72, like the disgraced Senator Felice, are carefully segregated. Felice was snared by French security agencies, invisibly assisted by the Mossad, in a Paris hotel room while accepting a bribe from a Syrian terrorist. Expelled from France as a persona non grata, he suffered a debilitating stroke aboard the US Air Force plane returning him home. Major Monica Howard, a US Army Medical Corps physician with the Felice congressional delegation on the aircraft, skillfully lessens the strokes potential lethality. A mere few hours earlier, she had colluded with Mossad agents. Back in Washington, Felices colleagues vote his expulsion from the Senate as the Justice Department files charges against him for abetting terrorism. In Connecticut, a Byzantine plot unfolds, ultimately removing the acting Republican lieutenant governor, Eileen Martino. Only months earlier, she had replaced the former governor whose crimes of corruption led to his imprisonment; crimes in which she is now being incriminated. Martinos political collapse brings to office the next governor in the line of succession, a popular state senate leader, Domenic Guillermo, a Democrat, who appoints Bill Rice, a well-known and Washington-based Connecticut lobbyist, to the seat of the now-resigned Senator Felice. How did it come to this? Senator Felice was induced by Tyler Hendricks, his former chief of staff, now a lobbyist, to legislate the transfer of a $720 million defense contract from a Utah company, earmarking it to the lobbyists Canadian client. The contract would provide the US Army with an anabolic steroid for use by US Special Operations troops operating in Iraq and Afghanistan at the every edges of human performance. A terrorist cell operating in Canada dispatches four Syrian doctoral students in the reputable York University molecular biology program to infiltrate the company and contaminate the steroids preparation with a deadly bacterium. Belatedly, Canadian intelligence and other agencies raid the company, following the French seizure of Senator Felice and his terrorist co-conspirator in Paris. But in Washington, greed, personal ambition and political power beggar troop welfare. Senate Republicans shamelessly exploit their Democratic colleagues humiliation and anticipate a Republican replacement to Senator Felice, a move which would critically alter the margin of Senate control. But House and Senate Democrats from the New England delegation move aggressively in two directions; first cooperating with the party leaders in Connecticut to keep the seat in Democratic hands; then, to transfer the Canadian contract to an Israeli pharmaceutical company which had only recently established operations in Rhode Island and on the Connecticut pharma coastline. Curiously, the US lobbyist for the Israeli company is appointed to the Senate seat mere hours after the acting governor quits, her successor sworn in and Senator Felice, now facing life-threatening surgery, resigns. Feckless US and Canadian intelligence agencies are slammed by elected political overseers for their ineptness: they were idle during the scandal, fearing political repercussions incurred from tracking a Senator or interfering with seemingly normal business transactions. Nor did Congress hypocritical scorn of defense contracts with foreign companies matter much in the face of effective lobbying. The story envelops terrorism in greed. Elected political leaders are easily deceived by slick lobbyists who readily exploit their relatively low compensation le
Book Synopsis Sons and Soldiers by : Bruce Henderson
Download or read book Sons and Soldiers written by Bruce Henderson and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2017-07-25 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times Bestseller The definitive story of the Ritchie Boys, as featured on CBS's 60 Minutes "An irresistible history of the WWII Jewish refugees who returned to Europe to fight the Nazis.” —Newsday They were young Jewish boys who escaped from Nazi-occupied Europe and resettled in America. After the United States entered the war, they returned to fight for their adopted homeland and for the families they had left behind. Their stories tell the tale of one of the U.S. Army’s greatest secret weapons. Sons and Soldiers begins during the menacing rise of Hitler’s Nazi party, as Jewish families were trying desperately to get out of Europe. Bestselling author Bruce Henderson captures the heartbreaking stories of parents choosing to send their young sons away to uncertain futures in America, perhaps never to see them again. As these boys became young men, they were determined to join the fight in Europe. Henderson describes how they were recruited into the U.S. Army and how their unique mastery of the German language and psychology was put to use to interrogate German prisoners of war. These young men—known as the Ritchie Boys, after the Maryland camp where they trained—knew what the Nazis would do to them if they were captured. Yet they leapt at the opportunity to be sent in small, elite teams to join every major combat unit in Europe, where they collected key tactical intelligence on enemy strength, troop and armored movements, and defensive positions that saved American lives and helped win the war. A postwar army report found that nearly 60 percent of the credible intelligence gathered in Europe came from the Ritchie Boys. Sons and Soldiers draws on original interviews and extensive archival research to vividly re-create the stories of six of these men, tracing their journeys from childhood through their escapes from Europe, their feats and sacrifices during the war, and finally their desperate attempts to find their missing loved ones. Sons and Soldiers is an epic story of heroism, courage, and patriotism that will not soon be forgotten.

Book Synopsis The Oberammergau Passion Play by : Kevin J. Wetmore, Jr.
Download or read book The Oberammergau Passion Play written by Kevin J. Wetmore, Jr. and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2017-02-06 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every ten years since 1634, the Bavarian village of Oberammergau has performed the world's most famous Passion Play, recounting the last days of Jesus Christ. In 2010, presenting the play for the 41st time, the village broke with tradition to offer a new interpretation for a post-millennial, international audience. Drawing on interviews with villagers and international responses, this collection of new essays provides an analysis of the play by scholars who attended. Topics include changes in response to charges of anti-Semitism, how the play defines the village, how the performance changes the audience, and a comparison of Oberammergau 2010 with American Passion Plays, Indian pilgrimage drama and other German Passion Plays.
Download or read book Northern Arts written by Arnold Weinstein and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-12-07 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Northern Arts is a magnificent and provocative exploration of Scandinavian literature and art. With intellectual power and deep emotional insights, writer and critic Arnold Weinstein guides us through the most startling works created by the writers and artists of Scandinavia over the past two centuries. Here readers will gain new perspectives on canonical giants such as Søren Kierkegaard, Henrik Ibsen, August Strindberg, Edvard Munch, Knut Hamsun, and Ingmar Bergman. Readers will also encounter popular favorites like children's writer Astrid Lindgren, and come to know the work of lesser-known masters such as the novelist Tarjei Vesaas and the painters Ernst Josephson and Lena Cronqvist. Weinstein uses the concept of "breakthrough"--boundary smashing, restlessness, and the exploding of traditional forms and values--as a thematic lens through which to expose the roiling energies and violence that course through Scandinavian literature and art. Defying preconceptions of Scandinavian culture as depressive or brooding, Weinstein invites us to imagine anew this transformative and innovative tradition of art that continually challenges ideas about the sacred and the profane, family and marriage, children, patriarchy, and personal identity. Through these works he brings us face-to-face with our most hidden selves and urges, enriching our understanding of the emotions and forces that govern our lives. Northern Arts is the essential introduction to Scandinavian literature and art, one that illuminates the fierce beauty and breathtaking reach of these incomparable works.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.
Download or read book Arab and Jew written by David K. Shipler and published by Crown. This book was released on 2015-11-10 with total page 770 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The expanded and updated edition of David Shipler's Pulitzer Prize-winning book that examines the relationship, past and present, between Arabs and Jews In this monumental work, extensively researched and more relevant than ever, David Shipler delves into the origins of the prejudices that exist between Jews and Arabs that have been intensified by war, terrorism, and nationalism. Focusing on the diverse cultures that exist side by side in Israel and Israeli-controlled territories, Shipler examines the process of indoctrination that begins in schools; he discusses the far-ranging effects of socioeconomic differences, historical conflicts between Islam and Judaism, attitudes about the Holocaust, and much more. And he writes of the people: the Arab woman in love with a Jew, the retired Israeli military officer, the Palestinian guerrilla, the handsome actor whose father is Arab and whose mother is Jewish. For Shipler, and for all who read this book, their stories and hundreds of others reflect not only the reality of "wounded spirits" but also a glimmer of hope for eventual coexistence in the Promised Land.
