Download or read book Looking for Garibaldi written by John Petralia and published by . This book was released on 2017-12-07 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Can following the footsteps of one of history’s most colorful figures lead to an unusual travel adventure? Absolutely. Giuseppe Garibaldi led freedom fighters on two continents, unified Italy, and almost headed America’s Union Army. His statues stand in cities around the world. So what do people today think of his accomplishments? In Looking for Garibaldi, John and Nancy Petralia discover that answer and more as they explore, often in hilarious ways, the places Garibaldi lived and fought, and how their lives parallel his. In stories of gun wielding gauchos, Italian family roots, nautical Christmas displays, historic battles, young lovers, old soldiers, tango missteps and travel with friends, the Petralias remind us that life’s most memorable moments often begin by taking a chance." -- page [4] cover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many broad studies of the Vietnam War, but this work offers an insight into the harrowing experiences of just a small number of men from a single unit, deep in the jungles of Vietnam and Cambodia. Its focus is the remarkable account of a Medal of Honor recipient Leslie Sabo Jr., whose brave actions were forgotten for over three decades. Sabo and other replacement soldiers in Bravo Company, 3rd Battalion, 506th Infantry (Currahees), 101st Airborne Division, were involved in intense, bloody engagements such as the battle for Hill 474 and the Mother's Day Ambush. Beginning with their deployment at the height of the blistering Tet Offensive, and using military records and interviews with surviving soldiers, Eric Poole recreates the terror of combat amidst the jungles and rice paddies of Vietnam. Company of Heroes, now published in paperback tells the remarkable story of how Sabo earned his medal, as Bravo Company forged bonds of brotherhood in their daily battle for survival.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I was borne in Europe, Budapest, Hungary in June 23,1924. I had two older sisters. My Father died when I was 6 years old. When I was 10, I started to learn classical piano, unti l I heard on radio from America the Brigands. Without my Mother knowing I started to learn jazz piano. My oldest sister paid for my weekly lessons. At 16 in High school I formed a small orchestra. When I was 18, on Lake Balaton in Hungary I met a lively girl named Erika, building castles in the sand. We both fell in love. Aft er three years or dati ng and telephoning when Hungary was overtaken by the Germans and being a Jewish, I was taken to a forced labor camp. Aft er six months, I found a way to escape from the 300 Jews being taken to German concentrati on camps. When I tore off the yellow arm band identi fying I am a Jew, and got home to our apartment, I was told that our whole family with me included was allowed to move into a building protected by the Swedish fl ag. Raul Wallenberg from the Swedish Consulate arranged all this for a few hundred people. When the war was over, I promised Erika aft er I found her hiding on the hills of Buda, in a non Jewish building I told her that I will try to escape from the now occupied Russian Hungary, and go to America and will send for her. Aft er fi nding a clever way to cross the border to Germany, the American Consulate sent me to Munich and fortunately found a piano-bar at the American Red Cross where they hired me to play Piano. An American offi cer decided to help me and arranged I will not have to wait 3 years for my quota to emigrate to USA. When arrived by ship to New York City in Jan. 1946, I was only given a studio apartment on Broadway but I needed to fi nd a job fast so I could earn money to eat. Got a job at Bickfords Restaurant near 42 second street washing dishes from midnight to eight am but I was in seventh heaven cause I could go to the movies on Broadway, and see all the Big bands playing before the movies were shown. I usually stayed 2 or 3 ti mes and learned English that way. Later I got a job as a fur salesman, and aft er 3 years in New York when I was 30 years old got a job in Milwaukee, Wisconsin as a piano vocalist and from then on I entertained all over the US major citi es piano-bars. Had my own 1V show in KGUL Houston, Texas, later 3 years in Las Vegas at the Dunes hotel. In 1971, I married a lady who died with a heart att ack in 1975. When I was 52 years old I wanted to write to my litt le Erika and when I found out, I wrote her a lett er to Melbourne Australia, gave her my phone number and address in Hollywood, she did call me a week later. The rest of my happy life really started from then on.
Download or read book Heroes and Martyrs of Palestine written by Laleh Khalili and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-03-29 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many decades have passed since the Palestinian national movement began its political and military struggle. In that time, poignant memorials at massacre sites, a palimpsest of posters of young heroes and martyrs, sorrowful reminiscences about lost loved ones, and wistful images of young men and women who fought as guerrillas, have all flourished in Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon and in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. Heroes and Martyrs of Palestine tells the story of how dispossessed Palestinians have commemorated their past, and how through their dynamic everyday narrations, their nation has been made even without the institutional memory-making of a state. Bringing ethnography to political science, Khalili invites us to see Palestinian nationalism in its proper international context and traces its affinities with Third Worldist movements of its time, while tapping a rich and oft-ignored seam of Palestinian voices, histories, and memories.

Download or read book Forgotten Heroes written by Susan Ware and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 1999-07-13 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pages of the past are full of characters who remind us that history depends upon the great deeds of men and women, whether famous or humble. Where would America be without George Washington, or Daniel Boone, or Sojourner Truth, or Babe Ruth? Where would we be without so many characters who are less well remembered today? Historians and biographers regularly come across stories of little-known or forgotten heroes, and this book provides a chance to rescue some of the best of them. In Forgotten Heroes, thirty-five of the country's leading historians recount their favorite stories of underappreciated Americans. From Stephen Jay Gould on deaf baseball player Dummy Hoy; to William Leuchtenburg on the truth behind the legendary Johnny Appleseed; to Christine Stansell on Margaret Anderson, who published James Joyce's Ulysses; these portraits can be read equally for delight, instruction, and inspiration Taken together, however, the whole is much more than the sum of its parts. Every culture needs heroes who lead by example and uplift us all in the process. Too often lately, historians have been more intent on picking apart the reputations of previously revered Americans. At times it has seemed as if the academy were on the attack against much of its own culture, denying its past greatness while making heroes only of its dissidents and doubters. Yet as this collection vividly demonstrates, heroes come in many shapes and sizes, and we all gain when we remember and celebrate them. Forgotten Heroes includes nearly as many women as men, and nearly as many people from before 1900 as after. It expands the traditional definition of hero to encompass not only military figures and politicians who took risks for great causes, but also educators, religious leaders, reformers, labor leaders, publishers, athletes, and even a man who started a record company. Many of them were heroes of conscience -- men and women who insisted on doing the right thing, no matter how unpopular or risky, commanding respect even from those who disagreed. Some were famous in their day and have since been forgotten, or remembered only in caricature. Others were little-known even when alive -- yet they all deserve to be remembered today, especially at the gifted hands of the authors of this book.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can we read literatures from other cultures? The metaphors of fractal geometry can help us think about the complexity of the cultural situation of a text or an author. Postcolonial Literature from Three Continents identifies four primary themes common to postcolonial texts - technology, memory, language, and geography - and examines them in relationship to four texts from Nigeria, the United States, and Australia so that we see both the colonized and colonizing positions of these works. The quartet of texts are Amos Tutuola's The Palm-Wine Drinkard, H. D.'s Helen in Egypt, Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man, and Patrick White's Voss.
