Download or read book Wartime Twins written by Robert Angstorm and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2016-08-20 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is founded on the stories told by the authors older relatives about their wartime exploits. How they were sent away to the countryside when the bombs started to fall and how different life was compared to Portsmouth and London. The older ones told some of their adventures in France and Germany. This book is based on the many stories. I have heard these during my earlier years, and it left a lasting impression on my mind. Some of it is true, while some of it is fiction. In part, the book is a tribute to the memory of the storytellers, now sadly long gone, whose stories gave me the inspiration to write. The book tells the story of two twins as they journey from blissful childhood through the horrors of war and their friendships and loves they develop along the way. Set between 1939 and 1945, it will give the reader a very different view of life as a young adult from what can be experienced today.

But I have to go my way, led by my shepherd, our good Lord. You know I am happy and I am truly excited to see my old friends. They need me and I want to be consumed for them.

Download or read book Empire's Twin written by Ian Tyrrell and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2015-03-19 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across the course of American history, imperialism and anti-imperialism have been awkwardly paired as influences on the politics, culture, and diplomacy of the United States. The Declaration of Independence, after all, is an anti-imperial document, cataloguing the sins of the metropolitan government against the colonies. With the Revolution, and again in 1812, the nation stood against the most powerful empire in the world and declared itself independent. As noted by Ian Tyrrell and Jay Sexton, however, American "anti-imperialism was clearly selective, geographically, racially, and constitutionally." Empire’s Twin broadens our conception of anti-imperialist actors, ideas, and actions; it charts this story across the range of American history, from the Revolution to our own era; and it opens up the transnational and global dimensions of American anti-imperialism. By tracking the diverse manifestations of American anti-imperialism, this book highlights the different ways in which historians can approach it in their research and teaching. The contributors cover a wide range of subjects, including the discourse of anti-imperialism in the Early Republic and Civil War, anti-imperialist actions in the U.S. during the Mexican Revolution, the anti-imperial dimensions of early U.S. encounters in the Middle East, and the transnational nature of anti-imperialist public sentiment during the Cold War and beyond.

Technically, the boys were twins, but their personalities could not have been more different.So begins this sweeping true story of a fractured but close - knit Australian family during World War II, focusing on the service of the twins and life on the home front as experienced primarily by their elder sister and mother.When hostilities are declared, Terry joins the Australian Military Forces and is quickly promoted. However, as a militiaman, he is banned from serving overseas. Having watched Edwin join the glamorous RAAF and become a pilot, Terry resigns his commission to follow his twin.

Book Synopsis Diary of a Wartime Unmarried Mother by : Doreen Bates
Download or read book Diary of a Wartime Unmarried Mother written by Doreen Bates and published by Austin Macauley Publishers. This book was released on 2024-07-19 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This diary gives a remarkably vivid description of the life of Doreen Bates, a professional young woman, who went against the social norms of her time to intentionally have twins fathered by an older married, but childless, colleague in the Inland Revenue, where they both worked as Income Tax Inspectors. At the time the twins were born Doreen did not know if their father could, or would, form part of the family. In the event, he was able to make frequent visits and helped practically, emotionally and financially with the childrens’ upbringing. The diary commences a few months after the twins were born. Doreen lived with them and a live-in nanny in South London where they experienced relentless days and nights of enemy bombing. In 1944 the twins and their nanny were evacuated to the incomparably safer and beautiful rural setting of a Wiltshire village where Doreen joined them for every weekend. In contrast to the chaos and fear that accompanied the wartime conditions, Doreen’s emotional life is much less turbulent than in the previous volume of her diary. This reflects the profound satisfaction she felt as a result of achieving her dream of having children. She was a remarkably enlightened parent. Her recording of their lives in this diary is detailed, intimate, and often humorous. Historical happenings are mentioned, but form only the incidental backdrop to her domestic and professional life. “Brimming with soul, passion, candour and wit, the diaries of Doreen Bates are an extraordinary read, giving a vivid insight into the life of a woman unvanquished by her time, a woman who leaps from the page so strikingly that you feel your pulse beating in time with hers. Edited in an act of great love and generosity by her children, they should take their place as one of the essential diaries of the twentieth century for the window they offer into another world, another heart.” – Lucy Caldwell
