Описание: Finding Francis, finding family, freeing historyFrancis is found. Beyond Francis, a family is found—in archival material that barely deigned to notice their existence. This is the story of Francis Sistrunk and her children, from enslavement into forced migration across South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi. It spans decades before the Civil War and continues into post-emancipation America. A family story full of twists and turns, Finding Francis reclaims and honors those women who played an essential role in the historical survival and triumph of Black people during and after American slavery. Elizabeth West has created a remarkable "biohistoriography" of everyday Black resistance, grounded in a determination to maintain enduring connections of family, kinship, and community despite the inhumanity and rapacity of slavery. There is inevitable heartbreak in these histories, but there is also an empowering strength and inspiration—the truth of these lives will indeed set us all free.

"I carry this weight as my responsibility of burden, my obligation to those who didn't come home, my compulsion to the generations of warriors, a sign of my commitment and duty as one who has seen the slaughter of civilization, the carnage of humanity, and stared Death in his shadowed face but was allowed to live." - The Weight
This book has put into words that which is difficult to describe about military service and combat, including physical and invisible injuries. It aims to provide help to veterans and sufferers of PTSD through poetic form, both as cognitive therapy for themselves or by giving them the ability to clarify their feelings, emotions, and experiences to their loved ones, support network, and counselors. These verses are meant to be intense and hard-hitting as you travel through the different sections and topics. I hope you enjoy these poems, but even more so, I hope they help.

Описание: A "very dramatic and] compelling" World War II story of murder, mutiny, and a military cover-up, from the author of The Phoenix Program (The New York Times).
Captured by the Japanese while on patrol in the fetid jungles of New Guinea, Douglas Valentine's father, who'd enlisted in the US Army at age sixteen, was sent to a prison camp in the Philippines, where he was interned with Australian and British soldiers.
The events that followed make up this "well-told, chilling" story of betrayal and brutality--a powerful tale of a son uncovering the traumatic events that shaped the rest of his father's life (Los Angeles Times Book Review).
"Not just a searing picture of life in a terrible POW camp, it is also a significant historical document about a place that the U.S. military says never existed." --Publishers Weekly
Автор: Smith Chad Название: Thank You for Your Service: One Mans Journey Through a Stint in the U.S. Army ISBN: 1543973868 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781543973860 Издательство: Неизвестно Рейтинг: Цена: 31870.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: This book attempts to fill a gap in civilians understanding about what happens when you join the military (specifically the Army). While many books have been written involving combat, few cover topics like day to day life. Its purpose is to educate the reader in a (hopefully) amusing way.
Heart of a Servant is a story based on true events of how a Chinese-born orphan named Pon K-Manee witnesses the growth of modern Thailand from his days of being a boy servant to the king, until World War II: when he becomes a trusted spy and one of the king's closest confidants. Upon declaring his loyalty at a tender age, despite having been given away to the king by his own parents, Pon must then make crucial decisions that will either bridge the gap between families and cultures, and nations themselves, or that will ultimately incur the destruction of both himself and his heritage. Unknowingly, by choosing the path closest to his own morality, and one he knows his own father would want of him: he helps to change the course of history itself
Автор: Tom Messenger Название: Looking for Flyboys: One G.I.s Journey: Vietnam 1970-1971 ISBN: 155571806X ISBN-13(EAN): 9781555718060 Издательство: Gazelle Book Services Рейтинг: Цена: 27170.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: With the escalation of the Vietnam War in the late 1960s, the American military discovered it needed a new kind of helicopter to cope with the rugged environmental and combat conditions its fighting men were encountering. The need resulted in the development of the Bell UH-1 Iroquois and the Boeing-Vertol CH-47 Chinook. Now they just needed the pilots, flight engineers, crew chiefs and gunners to man them. In a sense they were LOOKING FOR FLYBOYS. Tom Messenger's memoir follows his experiences as a Chinook flight engineer on missions over Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. It not only relates the tales of those missions during the course of the war but also his interactions with fellow soldiers and the civilian population. Tom's stories run the gamut from recounting the dangers of battle and capturing the anguish of war to the humorous situations of daily life in the Army so familiar to anyone who has ever served.
Автор: Novak Charles L. Название: Home Is Everywhere: The Unbelievably True Story of One Man`s Journey to Map America ISBN: 1633310329 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781633310322 Издательство: Gazelle Book Services Рейтинг: Цена: 32820.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Rich with the small-town characters of mid-century America, Home Is Everywhere spins a tale of travel, love, family, and reflection through the eyes of a man hired to document the last unmapped stretches of a nation. As a young man living in rural Kansas in the 1940s, Charles Novak took a job with the federal government--not because he liked the work but because he heard it paid well. That job shaped his life in ways he could never have imagined.
As a surveyor for the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, Charles was tasked with measuring the unmapped American landscape. Over the years this would take him from being eaten up by mosquitoes in Alaska, to eating steak and lobster on oil rigs in Louisiana. His career became even more adventurous when his family later hit the road with him, making their home in a caravan of trailers as the survey team traversed the nation.
The measurements taken by Charles and the survey team eventually would go on to help build today's GPS technology. However, such a contribution was the furthest thing from the minds of Charles and his family as they experienced life on the road during a time of astounding change in American life. From segregated trains, to Cold War military bases, and back to Kansas, Charles's family found that home is more than a place on a map.
