Book excerpt: My life had a plan. Until he invaded it and stole it all away. My captor took me and I became a pawn. His strategy changed and he sent me away to WAR, because money is everything in this world. In my WAR, though, I found peace. I couldn’t help but find love where I least expected it, with a man who lived a battle every day of his life …all inside his head. But then my captor came back for me. Yet, this time, battle lines had been drawn and I was protected. So we thought. Even though my WAR was raging, my captor would fight to the death. The good guys always win, right? Not always. All’s fair in love and WAR, right? Not this time. Warning: This is War, Baby is a dark romance. A really dark one. So dark you’re going to wish you had a flashlight to see yourself to the end and someone to hold your hand. Human trafficking, dubious consent, and strong sexual themes that could trigger emotional distress are found in this story. This story is NOT for everyone.
Download or read book War, Baby written by Kevin Mitchell and published by Random House. This book was released on 2011-10-31 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 25th February 1995 The Dark Destroyer vs the G-Man Nigel Benn and Gerald McClennan Two men with a reputation to defend - a reputation for brutal, unforgiving combat both in the ring and outside it. Ostensibly, they were fighting for a world title and a lot of money, the stuff of professional boxing. But this fight was different. It was a rare collision of wills, and few present had seen anything like it. After ten of the most gruelling and vicious rounds that the sport of boxing has ever witnessed McClellan finally was defeated. He knelt in his corner on one knee in submission. And he never got up. This is the story of what brought these two men together on the night of 25th February 1995 and how that night changed them forever. It's a story too about those associated with the promotion of public fist-fighting, who bend morality to suit their needs. It's a story that attempts to unravel the glamour of violence. William Hill Sports Book of the Year Finalist.

Download or read book War Baby/love Child written by Laura Kina and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: War Baby / Love Child examines hybrid Asian American identity through a collection of essays, artworks, and interviews at the intersection of critical mixed race studies and contemporary art. The book pairs artwork and interviews with 19 emerging, mid-career, and established mixed race/mixed heritage Asian American artists, including Li-lan and Kip Fulbeck, with scholarly essays exploring such topics as Vietnamese Amerasians, Korean transracial adoptions, and multiethnic Hawai'i. As an increasingly ethnically ambiguous Asian American generation is coming of age in an era of "optional identity," this collection brings together first-person perspectives and a wider scholarly context to shed light on changing Asian American cultures. This multiauthor volume features a foreward by Kent A. Ono, a co-authored preface and introductory essay by the editors, 19 original artist interviews conducted by the editors, and original essays from Wei Ming Dariotis and the contributing authors: Camilla Fojas, Stuart Gaffney, Rudy Guevarra, Jr., Eleana J. Kim, Richard Lou, Margo Machida, Stephen Murphy-Shigematsu, Lori Pierce, Cathy J. Schlund-Vials, Ken Tanabe, and Wendy Thompson-Taiwo. Laura Kina is associate professor of art, media, and design at DePaul University. Wei Ming Dariotis is associate professor of Asian American studies at San Francisco State University. "War Baby / Love Child is an interesting, original, and innovative project that expands the field of Asian American studies by using visual art as a point of entry and analysis for the discipline." -Mark Johnson, editor of Asian American Art: A History, 1850-1970 "One of the strengths of this original volume is its holistic combination of interviews with premier fine artists along with the textual, historical, and scholarly context provided by established and emerging scholars in Asian American Studies." -Nitasha Sharma, author of Hip Hop Desis: South Americans, Blackness, and Global Race Consciousness
Book Synopsis No Place for a War Baby by : Donna Seto
Download or read book No Place for a War Baby written by Donna Seto and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-06 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Donna Seto investigates why children born of wartime sexual violence are rarely included in post-conflict processes of reconciliation and recovery. The focus on children born of wartime sexual violence questions the framework of understanding war and recognizes that certain individuals are often forgotten or neglected. This book considers how children are neglected sites for the reproduction of global norms. It approaches this topic through an interdisciplinary perspective that questions how silence surrounding the issue of wartime sexual violence has prevented justice for children born of war from being achieved. In considering this, Seto examines how the theories and practices of mainstream International Relations (IR) can silence the experiences of war rape survivors and children born of wartime sexual violence and explores the theoretical frameworks within IR and the institutional structures that uphold protection regimes for children and women.

Download or read book Warbaby written by William Spear and published by . This book was released on 2016-10-01 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The complete and fully detailed history of the conception, promotion, financing, design, fabrication, delivery, testing, procurement and production of the first jeeps by the American Bantam Car company for the United States Army. The 400 page book contains hundreds of photos which cover the prewar period when this most significant of American automobiles was created and produced. As much an exciting story of compelling characters as it is the first complete history, a reader will recognize many names in both the public and private which went on to fame in WWII. The book can also be seen as a near text book concerning the practical difficulties in industrial design and procurement, involving as it does the difficulty of innovators satisfying a customer with a design. A careful reader will see the dramatic transition from the ?old America? of the post Civil War era into what we like to call the ?modern times? of the post war era, just now ending. One will see the beginning of Eisenhower's ?Military-Industrial Complex'. Primarily however the book is an inspirational story of a small band of men in a tiny company, struggling for survival which accepts a gigantic challenge and succeeds brilliantly, only to be overwhelmed by the giant government and corporate interests of the time and since forgotten.

Download or read book War Baby written by Rod Butler and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-08 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compelling and shocking story that is all the more effective because it is true. Born during the War and growing up in the post war years, the writer takes you on a journey that surprises and shocks. The loss of his young Father is the catalyst that leads the author as a young boy along a path of trauma and despair and into life as a reclusive introvert, unable to function on a normal day to day basis. The Mother re-marries with terrible consequences, and any hope for the future is dashed when the reader witnesses the virtual destruction of the author as a child, as the step Father emerges as a paedophile with a most surprising and awful background. The author grows into a wayward child and a disturbed teenager, making some terrible mistakes along the way. He emerges from this virtual psychological prison that contains him, and for the first time discovers enjoyment, enjoyment in music, Rock n Roll and the guitar. The music offers him an escape from his painful background and he struggles at every opportunity to learn to play the guitar and become more than just proficient. After secretly practising, improving and playing with various bands, he eventually travels the world in a band with a number one hit record. The author lurches from one success to another but it is not enough. His hunger for life is fuelled by working in more bands, hard drinking and experimenting with drugs. A crossroads is reached when there is a choice; music or karate. The karate was started as a conduit for his energy and his frustration with the music business. A decision is made and he diverts his energies from music into a totally new venture, starting karate classes and eventually gaining his Black Belt. A karate club is created almost accidentally, and the club goes from strength to strength producing champions and award winning teams. More clubs are started, and other clubs impressed by the dynamics and professionalism of the core clubs, successfully join the newly formed karate group - Shotokan Karate England. The book is a shocking testimonial to paedophilia but a brilliant testimonial to overcoming adversity and trauma in one's life. The story is one of determination not to be beaten, and inspiration can be taken by all of those who read this incredible but true story.
