Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This “important contribution to WWII history” reveals the trucking convoy, manned by unsung black soldiers, who helped defeat the Nazis (Publishers Weekly). After the D-Day landings in Normandy, Allied forces faced a golden opportunity—and a critical challenge. They had broken across enemy lines, but there was no infrastructure to supply troops as they pushed into Germany. The US Army improvised a perilous solution: a convoy of trucks marked with red balls that would carry desperately needed ammunition, rations, and fuel deep into occupied Europe. The so-called Red Ball Express lasted eighty-one days and, at its height, numbered nearly six thousand trucks. The mission risked attacks by the Luftwaffe and German ground forces, making it one of the GIs’ most daring gambits. Without the soldiers who successfully executed this operation, World War II would have dragged on in Europe at a terrible cost of Allied lives. Yet the service of these brave drivers, most of whom were African American, has been largely overlooked by history. The first book-length study of the subject, The Road to Victory chronicles the exploits of these soldiers in vivid detail. It’s a story of a fight not only against the Nazis, but against an enemy closer to home: racism.

Download or read book Red Ball Express written by Pat Ware and published by Ian Allan Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Red Ball Express was the name given to the massive convoy effort which supplied the Allied armies moving through Europe after D-Day. Its success was a major factor in the rapid defeat of the German army. Some 28 Divisions were advancing across France and Belgium. Each division ordinarily required 700-750 tons of supplies per day, a total daily consumption of about 20,000 tons. To achieve this the Red Ball Express was conceived. The name came from a US railway term, to Red Ball was to ship goods express. The operation lasted only three months, from 25 August to 16 November 1944, and was critical in ensuring that the Allied advance did not grind to a halt as a result of lack of supplies. At its peak, the Red Ball Express utilized some 6,000 vehicles and shipped in excess of 12,000 tons of supplies to forward depots daily. Initially, the Red Ball Express got bogged down amongst other traffic, but quickly two dedicated routes were designated from the beachhead to the city of Chartres. From these routes all other traffic was banned and, to ensure the smooth operation of the Red Ball Express, strict rules were laid down: trucks were to travel in convoy; each convoy was to comprise no fewer than five trucks; each truck had a designated number and position within the convoy; there were lead and follow-up jeeps to maintain progress; the trucks were to stay 60ft apart and travel at 35mph. But these rules were more often breached than observed, with drivers making unauthorized modifications to the engines of their trucks to increase speed, for example, and drivers hawking their loads around at the front rather than heading for the main depots. In his latest book for Ian Allan Publishing, anoted expert on the history of military transport and vehicles, Pat Ware, examines in detail the history and operation of the Red Ball Express during these critical months when, if the supply chain had been broken, there was every possibility that the powerful German forces defending Normandy could have driven the Allies back into the sea. Concentrating primarily on the 6,000 trucks utilized for the service, the book includes some 220 color and black and white images to supplement the authors well-informed and detailed narrative. Aimed at the military historian and military transport enthusiast, Red Ball Express will find a ready market amongst those eager for a comprehensive and well-illustrated account of the critical period in the months after D-Day when the battle for Normandy was on a knife-edge.

Book excerpt: Detective Sarah Pribek has seen what happens when a cop goes rogue in pursuit of justice: Her husband Shiloh is in a Wisconsin prison, serving the last of his sentence. Since his conviction, Sarah's own choices have earned her a reputation on the force as an erratic maverick. Now, just as she's finally getting back on her feet, mentoring a rookie and anticipating Shiloh's upcoming release, Sarah is pleased to be appointed to a task force investigating the kidnapping and murder of a University of Minnesota student. The case is a "redball," a high-profile investigation closely watched by the brass, the media and the public. During a round of routine interviews, Sarah questions a young man who leaves her chilled to her nerve endings. A background investigation quickly turns up evidence that further implicates him, and she is certain she's found their killer. Then, disaster. A voluntary blood test exonerates the man. Sarah's reputation and her position on the task force are on the line. She's convinced that the results are wrong. Yet how could that be? She was there. She saw the blood drawn.

The dog chases the teasing raven, who stays just out of reach. Round and round they go in a frenetic dance until the exhausted dog finally gives up the chase and stops to rest. Just when you think the raven's won the game, bonk!, the ball falls from the sky and bounces off the dog's head. His tail wagging once again, the dog, red ball happily back in mouth, watches as the raven, equally happy, flies away. Though Raven and the Red Ball is obviously perfect for children too young to read, it's also a thoughtprovoking tale for adults; the simple story has a surprising depth that might start you pondering many aspects of human nature.
