The Veteran Next Door
The Veteran Next Door is a compilation of stories from the Nationally broadcast radio show of the same name. The stories are from survivors of World War II. From a Jewish girl being given away at age 2 to save her from Auschwitz, fighting in Bougainville, and Guadalcanal, the experience of being black in our army and navy during this time period. From love stories to fighting across Europe and even being captured on the first day of the Battle of the Bulge, seeing the new German jets shoot down the B-17 flying in front of your own Flying Fortress, earning as many medals as Audie Murphy and not being awarded the Medal of Honor, and being surrounded by sharks for 5 days, being on board a ship that is breaking in half in a typhoon. And coming home to a small Tennessee county that has been taken over by a corrupt political machine. All true stories about our Veterans of World War II, their heartbreaks, and their accomplishments told by the Veterans themselves.
unDIAGNOSED
Never could Randy have predicted his life journey and the lessons he would learn. Despite his loss of vision and motor function, peripheral neuropathy and eventual confinement to a wheel chair, he was convinced his illness had a name and could be conquered. Lyme disease, Multiple Sclerosis, African sleeping sickness, bad jet lag: all different diagnosis from over 30 doctors and specialists. No matter the debilitating and potentially life threatening illness stacked against him, Randy prepared to fight it and win. This is his story of enervating physical loss, mental despair, and fear. This is a story of learning, loving and living that will encourage and inspire as you face your own life challenges — whatever they are named.
The Brothers K
A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK Once in a great while a writer comes along who can truly capture the drama and passion of the life of a family. David James Duncan, author of the novel The River Why and the collection River Teeth, is just such a writer. And in The Brothers K he tells a story both striking and in its originality and poignant in its universality. This touching, uplifting novel spans decades of loyalty, anger, regret, and love in the lives of the Chance family. A father whose dreams of glory on a baseball field are shattered by a mill accident. A mother who clings obsessively to religion as a ward against the darkest hour of her past. Four brothers who come of age during the seism...
The Battles of Peace
The consistently selling military author continues the memoirs begun by The Only War We Had and Vietnam 1969-1970: A Company Commander's Journal. Lanning tells how, in 18 months, Alpha Company went from being an unruly, unprofessional, drug-infested unit to the best in the battalion, racking up top marks, honors, and commendations.
