Fight to Survive
Fight to Survive is an historical novel set in the Battle of the Bulge, December, 1944. Based on actual events, it is the story of American GIs engulfed in the surprise Nazi offensive that smashed through the front lines and surrounded their units. After engaging in fierce combat against superior numbers, these American soldiers were forced to choose between surrender, or try a perilous escape. Some resolved to keep fighting.
Fight to Survive
In mid-December, 1944, the men of the US 106th Infantry Division were holding part of the front line that protruded into Nazi Germany when Hitler launched a massive surprise offensive. Thousands of German infantry in white camouflage supported by hundreds of heavy guns, and whitewashed tanks-including huge Tiger IIs-overran the American positions. Out-numbered and often without communication with neighboring units, American GIs fought stubbornly. Many died at their posts, others grudgingly withdrew under tremendous pressure to then turn and fight again. But while the Allied high command strove to determine the extent of the Nazi offensive, and began to shit units to combat it, two entire reg...
Behind Enemy Lines
On December 19th, 1944, two entire regiments of the US 106th Infantry Division were captured by Hitler's surprise winter offensive. But not all of the men in those units surrendered. A month later, with the Battle of the Bulge winding down, and the Nazis pushed back into Germany, GIs began hearing stories. Long after the main fighting had left the area of St. Vith, Belgium, battles continued in the nearby forest. Civilians insisted that in the midst of the German army, some American soldiers carried on the war behind enemy lines.
Behind Enemy Lines: A Novel of the Battle of the Bulge
Behind Enemy Lines is the second part of the three book trilogy Still in the Woods. The trilogy, beginning with Fight to Survive, tells the heroic story of American soldiers engulfed in Hitler’s surprise winter offensive in December, 1944. In the opening days of what came to be known as the Battle of the Bulge, American units were overrun or swept aside. American soldiers fought against overwhelming odds only to face the choice of surrender, or risk evading the enemy to regain US lines. Rallying to an intrepid American lieutenant, several dozen GIs decide that they will hold out in the Belgian forest until the Allies push the Nazis back into Germany. Lieutenant Arthur Hill organizes his volunteers into a unit to wage their own winter war. Their success in raiding supply dumps and ambushing German convoys gains needed food and supplies, but attracts the attention of the SS commander in the area. Sturmbannführer Karl Grabner becomes determined to wipe out the troublesome band of American “partisans.” The Still in the Woods series reaches the thrilling conclusion in Forest Battles.
Believe and Destroy
There were eighty of them. They were young, clever and cultivated; they were barely in their thirties when Adolf Hitler came to power. Their university studies in law, economics, linguistics, philosophy and history marked them out for brilliant careers. They chose to join the repressive bodies of the Third Reich, especially the Security Service (SD) and the Nazi Party’s elite protection unit, the SS. They theorized and planned the extermination of twenty million individuals of allegedly ‘inferior’ races. Most of them became members of the paramilitary death squads known as Einsatzgruppen and participated in the slaughter of over a million people. Based on extensive archival research, C...
Work's Intimacy
This book provides a long-overdue account of online technology and its impact on the work and lifestyles of professional employees. It moves between the offices and homes of workers in the knew "knowledge" economy to provide intimate insight into the personal, family, and wider social tensions emerging in today’s rapidly changing work environment. Drawing on her extensive research, Gregg shows that new media technologies encourage and exacerbate an older tendency among salaried professionals to put work at the heart of daily concerns, often at the expense of other sources of intimacy and fulfillment. New media technologies from mobile phones to laptops and tablet computers, have been marke...
Cognitive Capitalism
This book argues that we are undergoing a transition from industrial capitalism to a new form of capitalism - what the author calls & lsquo; cognitive capitalism & rsquo;
The Radicality of Love
What would happen if we could stroll through the revolutionary history of the 20th century and, without any fear of the possible responses, ask the main protagonists - from Lenin to Che Guevara, from Alexandra Kollontai to Ulrike Meinhof - seemingly naïve questions about love? Although all important political and social changes of the 20th century included heated debates on the role of love, it seems that in the 21st century of new technologies of the self (Grindr, Tinder, online dating, etc.) we are faced with a hyperinflation of sex, not love. By going back to the sexual revolution of the October Revolution and its subsequent repression, to Che's dilemma between love and revolutionary com...
Suffering
Providing a clear and thoughtful discussion of human suffering, Ian Wilkinson explores some of the ways in which research into social suffering might lead us to reinterpret the meaning of modern history as well as revise our outlook upon the possible futures that await us.
Blair's War
Tony Blair and George Bush may have won the war in Iraq, but they are losing the peace at home. How did Blair come to support the US-led invasion of Iraq? Why did he risk taking Britain into a conflict which so imperilled his premiership? Was he justified in doing so? These are just some of the questions which David Coates and Joel Krieger seek to answer in Blair’s War – the most authoritative and complete record of the conflict to date. Written by two of the most experienced and perceptive observers of British politics and New Labour, the book explains how his stalwart commitment to stand ‘shoulder to shoulder’ with America after 9/11 trapped Blair in a tragic logic that took the UK...
