"Weird, wonderful, and worrisome.” —The Washington Post Book World “Dear Mr. President is a war book like no other. It’s as if Salvador Dali had rewritten All Quiet on the Western Front.” —USA Today Everybody’s Gulf War Syndrome is a little bit different. Or so believes Larry, who returns home from Desert Storm to find his hair gone and his bones rapidly disintegrating. Then there’s Lance Corporal James Laverne of the US Marines, who grows a third ear in Kuwait. And in the audaciously comic novella “Notes from a Bunker Along Highway 8,” a Green Beret deserts his team after seeing a vision of George Washington, only to find a new calling—administering aid to wounded Iraqi civilians; he’s hindered only by the furtive nature of his mission and an unruly band of chimpanzees.

Download or read book Dear Mr President written by Jason Saltoun-Ebin and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-01-27 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In "Dear Mr. President...Reagan/Gorbachev and the Correspondences that Ended the Cold War", historian Jason Saltoun-Ebin sheds new light on the end of the Cold War by presenting, in many cases for the first time, the top-secret correspondence between Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev that started the first day Gorbachev came to power. Saltoun-Ebin shows, through this private correspondence, that the most important reason for the end of the Cold War was simply the trust that Reagan and Gorbachev built through their letters. Although Reagan and Gorbachev at first found little to agree upon, they started the path towards the end of the Cold War by agreeing that despite their differences, they would continue to correspond. From when Gorbachev took office on March 11, 1985 till Reagan left the presidency in January 1989, the two most powerful leaders in the world exchanged over forty letters. It was this dialogue -- this decision that they could individually make a difference -- more than anything that led to the cooling of tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union and then the end of the Cold War. Trusting did not come easy for either of them. The letters presented in "Dear Mr. President..." show, once again, that the pen is mightier than the sword.

Download or read book Analysis of the song Dear Mr President by Pink written by Sophie Houriez and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2012-07-05 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject Musicology - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,0, University of Vienna (Institut für Musikwissenschaft), course: VO Gender, Race and Social Justice in Anglo-American Popular Music, language: English, abstract: [...] For my analysis I have chosen the song Dear Mister President by Pink which is a direct criticism of President George W. Bush. The first time I heard it, I was really impressed by it because the song is very critical and provoking, but the music is in a slow way and creates a very reflective and melancholic atmosphere which makes it a very touching song for me. The music of the song is, as just mentioned, very slow, just going along with the text, so you really have to listen to the words and are not distracted by it. This song was one of the most important songs on her album called I’m not dead and it is an open letter to the former President of the United States George W. Bush. It was written on Martin Luther King Day in 2005, but released for the first time in 2007. An interesting fact is that this song has won the Amadeus Austrian Music Award as the best international single of the year. [...]

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most important politics books of the year, To Obama is a record of a time when politics intersected with empathy. 'The real story of Obama's America' Sunday Times Every day, President Obama received ten thousand letters from ordinary American citizens. Every night, he read ten of them before going to bed. In To Obama, Jeanne Marie Laskas interviews President Obama, the letter-writers themselves and the White House staff in the Office of Presidential Correspondence who were witness to the millions of pleas, rants, thank-yous and apologies that landed in the mailroom during the Obama years. At once desperate, joyful, hateful and despairing, they form an intimate portrait of one man's relationship with the American people, and of a time when empathy intersected with politics in the White House.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dear Mr. President Excuse me, kind sir . . . Yes, its me, way down here. Do you have just a moment to lend me your ear? I may be quite small, and you may think me naive. But please, sir, just grant me a moments reprieve. It has been said that our children are our future, yet we often fail to listen to what they have to say when they are young. We also tend to ask them to do as we say but not as we dowhether we realize it or not. We assume that they dont have anything important to say or that their observations are too immature to bare consideration. In a world swirling with political rhetoric, divisiveness, anger, and fear, Dear Mr. President reminds us just how important common decency, trust, and kindness truly are. It is also a powerful reminder that both words and actions make lasting impressions and that true wisdom often springs from innocence and candid honesty. The worlds children are watching and listening; we would be wise to listen to them too.
