Now he's carrying a rucksack through London's West End and has turned himself into the most wanted terrorist in the country. Fast, funny, hip and violent, Bombproof is a non-stop adventure full of unforgettable characters and a heart-warming hero--Sami Macbeth--a man with the uncanny ability to turn a desperate situation into a hopeless one.

Download or read book For Cause and Comrades written by James M. McPherson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1997-04-03 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: General John A. Wickham, commander of the famous 101st Airborne Division in the 1970s and subsequently Army Chief of Staff, once visited Antietam battlefield. Gazing at Bloody Lane where, in 1862, several Union assaults were brutally repulsed before they finally broke through, he marveled, "You couldn't get American soldiers today to make an attack like that." Why did those men risk certain death, over and over again, through countless bloody battles and four long, awful years ? Why did the conventional wisdom -- that soldiers become increasingly cynical and disillusioned as war progresses -- not hold true in the Civil War? It is to this question--why did they fight--that James McPherson, America's preeminent Civil War historian, now turns his attention. He shows that, contrary to what many scholars believe, the soldiers of the Civil War remained powerfully convinced of the ideals for which they fought throughout the conflict. Motivated by duty and honor, and often by religious faith, these men wrote frequently of their firm belief in the cause for which they fought: the principles of liberty, freedom, justice, and patriotism. Soldiers on both sides harkened back to the Founding Fathers, and the ideals of the American Revolution. They fought to defend their country, either the Union--"the best Government ever made"--or the Confederate states, where their very homes and families were under siege. And they fought to defend their honor and manhood. "I should not lik to go home with the name of a couhard," one Massachusetts private wrote, and another private from Ohio said, "My wife would sooner hear of my death than my disgrace." Even after three years of bloody battles, more than half of the Union soldiers reenlisted voluntarily. "While duty calls me here and my country demands my services I should be willing to make the sacrifice," one man wrote to his protesting parents. And another soldier said simply, "I still love my country." McPherson draws on more than 25,000 letters and nearly 250 private diaries from men on both sides. Civil War soldiers were among the most literate soldiers in history, and most of them wrote home frequently, as it was the only way for them to keep in touch with homes that many of them had left for the first time in their lives. Significantly, their letters were also uncensored by military authorities, and are uniquely frank in their criticism and detailed in their reports of marches and battles, relations between officers and men, political debates, and morale. For Cause and Comrades lets these soldiers tell their own stories in their own words to create an account that is both deeply moving and far truer than most books on war. Battle Cry of Freedom, McPherson's Pulitzer Prize-winning account of the Civil War, was a national bestseller that Hugh Brogan, in The New York Times, called "history writing of the highest order." For Cause and Comrades deserves similar accolades, as McPherson's masterful prose and the soldiers' own words combine to create both an important book on an often-overlooked aspect of our bloody Civil War, and a powerfully moving account of the men who fought it.

Download or read book Bombproof written by Stephen Sawicki and published by . This book was released on 2007-11 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Her life was a walk on the razor's edge. Ravaged by a devastating combination of flashbacks and seizures, Leana Beasley had all but lost hope. Then came Bronson. The dog, once a stray, was a Rottweiler mixed-breed. Named after tough-guy actor Charles Bronson and trained in a women's prison to help people with disabilities, he immediately won Leana's heart. With an uncanny ability to forewarn of seizures and a loving, unflappable personality, the animal changed-indeed, saved-Leana's life, and that of her family. Bombproof takes readers into some of society's most desperate places-psychiatric wards, emergency rooms, and prisons-as it tracks Leana and Bronson's journey of renewal and redemption. Cheers for Leana Beasley and Bronson "Bronson and Beasley are the perfect match." The Delta Society, Beyond Limits Award, 2004 Service Animal of the Year Praise for Stephen Sawicki's Animal Hospital "There are echoes of Tracy Kidder in Sawicki's approach, of the late James Herriot in his interest in human behavior as well as animal ailments, and for serious animal lovers, something of the sense of urgency of TV's ER in the health crises he re-creates." Booklist "From the homeless to the affluent, Angell's veterinarians see everyone. And you'll meet many of these characters–practitioners and clients alike–in Stephen Sawicki's compelling Animal Hospital...If you're a fan of NBC's popular ER, this furry version will capture you, too." Seattle Times "An astute and compassionate observer, Sawicki has written one of the best animal books to come along in years." Cats Magazine

A bullet in the leg, another through the hand, he is discovered clinging to a buoy in the River Thames, nearly unconscious and losing blood fast. It takes six days for him to come out of his coma, and when he does, his nightmare is only just beginning. Because Vincent has no recollection of what happened, and nobody believes him. A mile away from his body, a boat was found covered in blood - Vincent's and that of three others. Forensics say at least one of them must be dead. Vincent, a police detective, had signed his service pistol out of the station armoury, despite being on leave. Murder suspects can often fake amnesia, and the investigating team are not sure this case is any different . . . The only clue is a picture in Vincent's pocket: a photograph of a young girl, Mickey Carlyle, who disappeared three years ago. And though Mickey is presumed dead, Vincent has the nagging doubt that she is alive and in terrible danger . . .
