This book was released on 2000 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is a dramatic record of one man's service in the Pacific War. "Jack" Wilson began to take notes during training, and these notes developed into a diary of thoughts, movements, and events, especially after he was shipped overseas in January 1943. He served in New Caledonia, Australia, New Guinea, the Admiralty Islands, and the Philippines. Trained to be a baker in the Quartermaster Corps, instead of staying safely in the rear, he volunteered for hazardous duty and baked bread for troops on the front lines. Jack and his platoon saw the grisly residue of battle, and his diary is in part a startling contrast between the decency of his middle-class upbringing and the brutality of war. Another contrast is between tedium and excitement, as routine is interrupted by air raids and prisoners. Extensively annotated by Jack's son, the diary is both personal and historical"--Publisher.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an autobiography of a well-known American sociologist who first rose to prominence in the Soviet Union. The author tries, with utmost honesty and without sparing himself, to examine the life of an individual who realized in his early youth the totalitarian character of the Soviet society but who did not dare fight the system. The book revolves around the intellectual evolution of the author and his attempt to create for himself a picture of society that was opposed to the official ideology. The author reflects on human nature based on his life experiences in the USSR and to some degree also in the West. Special attention has been devoted to the role of fear in totalitarian society, and to the way people adjusted to it. Friendship is described as one of the best ways to cope with the omnipresent fear of the state in societies of the Soviet type.
