Pulitzer Prize–winning author John Toland reports on the Korean War in a revolutionary way in this thoroughly researched and riveting book. Toland pored over military archives and was the first person to gain access to previously undisclosed Chinese records, which allowed him to investigate Chairman Mao’s direct involvement in the conflict. Toland supplements his captivating history with in-depth interviews with more than two hundred American soldiers, as well as North Korean, South Korean, and Chinese combatants, plus dozens of poignant photographs, bringing those who fought to vivid life and honoring the memory of those lost. In Mortal Combat is comprehensive in it discussion of events deemed controversial, such as American brutality against Korean civilians and allegations of American use of biological warfare. Toland tells the dramatic account of the Korean War from start to finish, from the appalling experience of its POWs to Mao’s prediction of MacArthur’s Inchon invasion. Toland’s account of the “forgotten war” is a must-read for any history aficionado.

Book Synopsis The Mission Walker by : Edie Littlefield Sundby
Download or read book The Mission Walker written by Edie Littlefield Sundby and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2017-07-25 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Audie Award Finalist for best inspirational book! IMAGE AWARD (Native Daughters of the Golden West) "The Mission Walker is a marvelous book, a moving meditation on the relationships between courage and faith, endurance and transcendence." Randall Sullivan, Creator, The Miracle Detective, Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) Have you ever wanted to just start walking, and never ever stop? To leave behind "WHO I AM" to find "WHO I AM." Walking alone, and with one lung (the other lost to cancer), Edie Littlefield Sundby became the first person in history to walk the 1,600-mile El Camino Real de las California's mission trail through the mountain wilderness of Mexico and one of the hottest deserts on earth, and across the border to Northern California - a walk that elevated her life with meaning and purpose that transcended pain and fear – and healed her broken body. THE MISSION WALKER is a first-hand account of harrowing adventure along the old Jesuit mission trail in Baja California Mexico -- desert heat and cold, walls of cactus, sleeplessness, hunger, both physical and spiritual exhaustion, the dangers of wild creatures, and encounters with drug smugglers and weeks with no water other than what a pack mule could carry; and the tortuous agony and transcendent beauty of walking the northern half of the mission trail through California, a trek Edie made six months after losing her right lung to cancer – a journey that restored health and spirit after fighting recurrent stage 4 cancer, including 79 rounds of chemotherapy, four radical surgeries (liver, lung, colon/stomach, and throat), and dozens of radiation treatments. Edie's story is both an adventure story and a reflection on the universal experience of confronting our own mortality. It is a story of what we will do when faced with the potential end of our life. What do we do with our time left on earth. And how much do we still really, truly want to live. The book cites more than 50 original historical sources and captures the untamed wilderness adventure experienced for centuries along the old Jesuit and Franciscan mission trail that unites California and Mexico and defines the Old West. For those who crave a spirit of adventure, who ache like Edie to know what our bodies and spirits are truly capable of, this book is a must-read. A true testament to faith, courage, and the power of hope. Editorial Reviews: "Edie Sundby's account of her amazing trek along the entirety of the 1,600-mile California Mission Trail is not only captivating and inspiring but also one heck of an outdoors adventure. "Les Standiford, Author and Historian "This powerful story of determination and faith will stay with you forever." Ken Budd Journalist/Author "...a gripping narrative that takes us through the author's harrowing journeys, inward and outward." JoBeth McDaniel Journalist/Author "The Mission Walker is a marvelous book, a moving meditation on the relationships between courage and faith, endurance and transcendence.

Download or read book Men in White written by Chris Raymond and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2024-08-13 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A thrilling sports story, Men in White is the tale of the young athletes who defied the doomsayers and rescued Penn State’s football program from the horrors of the Jerry Sandusky scandal—told by the players themselves. On November 5, 2011, the news that Jerry Sandusky had been charged with forty counts of child molestation rocked Penn State’s leafy campus, unseating the university president, the athletic director, and head coach Joe Paterno—devastating the football program he had erected and diligently maintained over half a century. Men in White recounts the saga of the student athletes who elected to stay and rebuild the program in the face of crippling NCAA sanctions, blistering heat from the outraged media, and radio silence from the adults in the school’s administration. With the once proud program in free fall and their personal fortunes in peril, these young men refused to back down, toiling for five long seasons to rehabilitate the program and its ideals, culminating in the stirring come-from-behind defeat of Wisconsin in the Big Ten Championship Game. Their story echoes that of the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team, a cast of young men—colossal underdogs—who boldly accepted the challenge of a lifetime, achieving success while shouldering the weight of a bruising political drama.

Book Synopsis No Known Species by : Stephen N Berberich
Download or read book No Known Species written by Stephen N Berberich and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-09-09 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In January of 1987, Rebecca Cann, a research scientist from the University of Berkeley, published an astounding discovery. Using mitochondrial DNA as her blueprint, Dr. Cann was able to trace the first human to a solitary female born in Africa about 200,000 years ago. These facts suggest that this large step in evolution occurred within the span of a single lifetime. The study clearly departs from Darwin’s concept of evolution. Furthermore, there is a fundamental truth hidden in Cann’s research: if a Genesis event happened once, it is inevitable that it will happen again. No Known Species—The Dark Secret of the Genesis Cycle is a novel that blends Darwin’s theories and a mysterious force that seems to control the destiny of the human race. The book begins with the recreation of the biblical tale of Genesis; only this time it is not the story of our ancestors’ birth, but the birth of a vastly superior race and it takes place, not in the Garden of Eden, but in the belly of contemporary society. In 1984, two extraordinary babies are born on identical birth dates, 3000 miles apart, and under mysterious circumstances. Imagine for one moment that you are Peter Gault and Kate Donavon, lone mutants with advanced physical and mental gifts. How would you adjust to a primitive world that was governed by humans? Moreover, would humanity ever learn to accept a race of beings that had such vast superiority? One central question builds in the minds of Kate and Peter: If it were discovered that their birth meant the end of the human race as they knew it, would these special beings be permitted to survive? As the story unfolds, the interwoven lives of Kate and Peter serve to unravel the mystery of the Genesis cycle, and possibly wreak havoc on the natural order of man.
Download or read book Killed by Death written by Bill MacWithey and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2000-06-30 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Killed by Death When CIA assassin, John Taylor, receives an assignment to eliminate a top ranking U.S. Air Force General, he draws the line, even though he knows he will be on the companys hit list for knowing about an assignment but not carrying it out. In an attempt to warn the target he is in danger, Taylor becomes entangled in an operation much larger than the assassination of the general. A top-secret military device has been stolen, and it looks as if the general and his daughter might be involved in the theft. When he finds himself is on someones hit list, Taylor is on his own to not only stay alive, but figure out what the hell is going on and who wants him and the general dead. When he goes to London to confront or warn the general (hes not sure which) an attempt is made on his life by a small group of army rangers. But, they dont know the kind of survivor-at-all-costs they have taken on. He kills all the would-be assassins and makes it to the generals headquarters in London. Taylor isnt prepared for what he encounters, mainly the generals daughter, Tracy, an army first lieutenant. He has never seen a soldier that looks like her, and they soon become lovers. Tracy is a computer expert and works in the Allied Headquarters, Europe. Actually, the headquarters is a huge listening station, staying on top of what European leaders are saying in their phone conversations and communications. It is a spy network headquarters. Tracy has intercepted a message from a satellite system that isnt even supposed to be online unless the US is involved in a war. Its a highly secret system about which very few people know. The message is a complete dozier on the general and the commander of Army Special Forces. They are both marked for assassination. Taylors search, which includes Tracy as an assistant, leads him to a top-secret facility in Utah. There, a scientist has developed a device that will see stealth aircraft. Now, that device is for sale by someone to the highest bidder. John Taylors only living relative is his sister, Doris. Although he is confident no one knows she exists, when his life is in danger, he send her off on a trip to Barbados to get her out of the line of fire. She is kidnapped and held aboard a yacht, so the enemy might lure Taylor into a trap. They believe he knows where the missing device is hidden. Taylor doesnt disappoint them and walks right into their trap. Then, he finds out Tracy is much more than a lieutenant who knows her way around computers, when she comes to the rescue. Taylor has always used women and dumped them when it was convenient. But, he finds himself to be truly in love for the first time in his life. Then, as they return to DC from Utah, a passing car fires into their car and Tracy is killed. Taylor is, to say the least, pissed! He has always done his job without passion, much like a mechanic changing a tire. He was given an assignment to kill someone and he killed him or her, always knowing it was for the good of democracy and his country. But that has changed! They made it personal when they killed Tracy and he vows to kill them all. Whoever they are. A seemingly unrelated incident takes place in the Caribbean. A team of army rangers fires a deadly missile at a US frigate, then, the army team is all murdered on the shore of Honduras. The helicopter crew, which ferried the rangers ashore picks up the bodies and takes them to an aircraft carrier on maneuvers in the Caribbean. As they leave the carrier, a missile shoots down their helicopter. A large naval fleet is participating in war games, and the president goes to visit the carrier. Before Taylor killed one of the perpetrators aboard the yacht where Doris had been held, the man told him the entire thing was about assassinating the president. Now, Taylor realizes a team is aboard the carrier to sink it with explosives, while the president is aboard. He and
Book Synopsis Return to Fort Apache by : Tom Walker
Download or read book Return to Fort Apache written by Tom Walker and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2011-06-21 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than thirty years ago, Tom Walker published Fort Apache: New Yorks Most Violent Precinct, introducing the world to the 4-1, a South Bronx precinct that was home to more murders than the entire city of San Francisco. To this day, his story about life as police lieutenant in the 4-1 precinct remains the definitive account of the vicious cycle of violence that griped urban America in the late twentieth century. The battle between criminals and law enforcement did not end in 1971, but massive controversy over the books publication precluded the release of a sequeluntil now. With Return to Fort Apache: Memoir of an NYPD Captain, Walker finally tells the rest of his fascinating life story. Return to Fort Apache was written to counter the prevailing politically correct opinion that the officers in Fort Apache used their weapons first and their wits last. In addition, Walker hopes to memorialize the courageous officers he served with in the 4-1, to remember forever their sacrifices, their courage, and their daily brushes with death and violence.
Download or read book Bone Crossed written by Patricia Briggs and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2010-01-26 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to Patricia Briggs’s world, a place where “witches, vampires, werewolves, and shape-shifters live beside ordinary people” (Booklist). It takes a very unusual woman to call it home—and there’s no one quite like Mercy Thompson. By day, Mercy Thompson is a car mechanic in the sprawling Tri-Cities of Eastern Washington. By night, she explores her preternatural side. As a shape-shifter with some unusual talents, Mercy’s found herself maintaining a tenuous harmony between the human and the not-so-human on more than one occasion. This time she may get more than she bargained for. Marsilia, the local vampire queen, has learned that Mercy crossed her by slaying a member of her clan—and she’s out for blood. But since Mercy is protected from direct reprisal by the werewolf pack (and her close relationship with its sexy Alpha), it won’t be Mercy’s blood Marsilia is after. It’ll be her friends’.
