No glory would be found. In A Handsome Guy, Jack Dolan and his friend Frank Moody detail the horrifying experiences that made them wounded war heros of the finest kind. They tell a story of combat as it truly was in the Pacific War. For nearly sixty years, Jack Dolan would give only sanitized versions of his life in the Wars last great battle. Here, for the first time, is the real narrative of life and death in the last battle of the war. Shocking, and sometimes even perversely funny, these two former Marines reveal a time of life that was a three-month brush with death.

Book excerpt: When life is upended, what do you do? Do you remain as you were, trapped in a form of stasis? Or do you accept your losses and move forward? These questions and more are the heart of The Handsome Man. These linked stories follow several years of the life of a young man as he is drawn around the world: from Toronto to Montreal, New York, Ohio, New Mexico, British Columbia, Berlin, Rome, and northern Ontario, along the way meeting hippies, healers, drinkers, movie stars, old friends, and welcoming strangers. He isn't travelling, however; he's running away. But as far and fast as he runs, the world won't let him disappear, and each new encounter and every lost soul he meets along this journey brings him closer and closer to certain truths he'd locked away: how to trust, how to live in this world, and most of all, how to love again. Praise for The Handsome Man "I admire the emotional openness, tenderness and deeply uncynical tone of The Handsome Man, a novel-in-stories that feels unlike anything else I've read recently.

Download or read book How to be an Attractive Man written by Adam Kisiel and published by . This book was released on 2019-10-27 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "How to be an Attractive Man" is a book for men of any age who are searching for effective ways to look and feel better. 101 tips have been divided into seven sections, applying respectively to face, body, personality, mind, clothing, hygiene & grooming and living habits.Some time ago, being a perfectly ordinary-looking guy, I was searching for methods to improve my appearance and found an ocean of ideas, tricks, tips and advice, some obstreperous, some easy, some ridiculous, some brilliant. And some even depended on quasi-psychological ways to influence other people's minds, which is complete nonsense. That search gave me food for thought, which in turn persuaded me to write this guide, because I wanted to select the methods that are the simplest, most effective, and depend entirely on you.When you want someone to become interested in you, you usually think how to make her (or him) find you attractive. That is, you start thinking how to deal with the way they see you, and that approach is - and will always be - wrong. That's why this is not a handbook on how to deal with people, but a guide on how to deal with yourself. The only way for others to find you attractive is to become so. This is a book which aims to show you how to achieve that.
