Book excerpt: Immediately after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, President Franklin D. Roosevelt sought to restore the honor of the United States with a dramatic act of vengeance: a retaliatory bombing raid on Tokyo. On April 18, 1942, eighty brave young men, led by the famous daredevil Jimmy Doolittle, took off from a navy carrier in the mid-Pacific on what everyone regarded as a suicide mission but instead became a resounding American victory and helped turn the tide of the war. The First Heroes is the story of that mission. Meticulously researched and based on interviews with twenty of the surviving Tokyo Raiders, this is a true account that almost defies belief, a tremendous human drama of great personal courage, and a powerful reminder that ordinary people, when faced with extraordinary circumstances, can rise to the challenge of history.

Download or read book The Doolittle Irony written by Jim Kelly and published by Gatekeeper Press. This book was released on 2019-06-26 with total page 618 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Japanese-Americans contributed mightily to the U.S. victory in WWII. One young Nisei may even have saved Doolittle’s Raid from disaster. His story was never told, possibly because it would have exposed how unjust the U.S. Government had been to intern 120,000 Japanese-Americans on the flimsy excuse that they could not be trusted to defend America. This book personalizes that chapter of American history. It tells a story of how that young Nisei's situation MIGHT have unfolded. Book Review: "The Doolittle Irony – based on a true story – brings to life a daring 1942 American military operation in Japan, as seen through the eyes of a young Nisei. Author Jim Kelly seamlessly blends his own vivid imagination with his background in US naval intelligence, his historical knowledge of World War II, and his grasp of today’s troublesome debates about immigration and Americans from other lands. While The Doolittle Irony is an entertaining page-turner, it is also serves as a satisfying reminder that no matter how much the world changes, loyalty and love still remain the same." -- Lela Gilbert, author and journalist

If they're right to hunt her. Maybe she isn’t a Hero after all, but the villain they say she is. She wanted her Mom free. She wanted justice. But as I she look sat the carnage she wonders: At what price freedom? At what price Justice?

M.O.E and his legion have surrounded Washington DC.

And she started it all. Is Sarah Robertson the destroyer of worlds?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is it possible to design robots and other machines that can reproduce and evolve? And, if so, what are the implications: for the machines, for ourselves, for our environment, and for the future of life on Earth and elsewhere? In this book the authors provide a chronological survey and comprehensive archive of the early history of thought about machine self-reproduction and evolution. They discuss contributions from philosophy, science fiction, science and engineering, and uncover many examples that have never been discussed in the Artificial Intelligence and Artificial Life literature before now. In the final chapter they provide a synthesis of the concepts discussed, offer their views on the field’s future directions, and call for a broad community discussion about the significant implications of intelligent evolving machines. The book will be of interest to general readers, and a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and historians engaged with ideas in artificial intelligence, artificial life, robotics, and evolutionary computing.

Download or read book The Doolittle Raid 1942 written by Clayton K. S. Chun and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2012-09-20 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A detailed account of the US' nail-biting attempt to claw back their position, with full-colour maps and archival photography. In early 1942, the strategic situation was bleak for the United States. She had been in continual retreat since Pearl Harbor, surrendering major areas such as the Philippines, and was preparing for the worst in Hawaii and on the West Coast. The Japanese, on the other hand, had secured a well-defended perimeter, and was set for further expansion. Something needed to happen quickly and be of considerable impact-and the combined-arms, April 1942 Doolittle Raid on Japan was a way to achieve this. This book examines the planning, execution, and aftermath of this innovative, daring and risky attack, which would show that the Japanese navy and air forces were anything but invincible.
