Download or read book Honest John written by Colonel Walker M. Mahurin and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2016-11-11 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HONEST JOHN is the dramatic unvarnished autobiography of Walker “Bud” Mahurin, an American fighter ace who performed extraordinary feats of skill and bravery in shooting down more than twenty enemy planes in two wars, only to be called a traitor by many after he was forced to sign a germ-warfare confession by the Chinese Communists. In his own words, Col. Mahurin recalls the youth from Fort Wayne, Indiana, who was the leading American ace in Europe until his Thunderbolt was shot down over France, who escaped to fight again in the Pacific and returned in 1945 a much decorated war hero. When hostilities broke out in Korea in 1950, Col. Mahurin wangled his way out of his Pentagon desk job and soon, under the code name of “Honest John,” was flying against the MIGs over Communist skies. Then one fateful day in May, 1952, while perfecting the F-86 dive-bombing technique he himself had pioneered, his Sabre jet was hit by ground fire and crashed in a North Korean rice paddy. Thus began Col. Mahurin’s ordeal, an experience which few Americans have encountered and fewer still have survived. For over a year he was kept in solitary confinement by his captors, interrogated almost constantly and subjected to a veritable arsenal of mental pressures and “invisible tortures” as the Communists sought their elusive confession. In harrowing detail he relates his attempt at suicide and his devices for resisting while still maintaining sanity...

Download or read book Honest John Kelly Truth Or Satire written by Hugh J. Kelly and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-10-05 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An account of the life and times of one of the 19th century's most powerful and colorful politicians. "Honest" John Kelly was the leader of Tammany Hall, New York City's Democratic stronghold, during the Gilded Age. He rose from the obscurity of the 1820's Irish ghettos in New York City to become one of the most prominent political figures of his time. During his career as a civil servant, political leader, orator and philanthropist, he proudly wore the nickname "Honest" in front of his given name. There were many who admired his accomplishments, and considered this to be a fitting description of the man. Yet there were many others who decried his behavior as rigid, self serving and dictatorial, and saw the "Honest" reference as the ultimate sarcastic characterization of the man and his methods. In recounting the 30 year public career of "Honest" John Kelly, the author presents, in print and cartoon, evidence on both sides of this debate. He leaves it to the reader to decide if this engaging sobriquet was indeed "truth or satire." Ironically, many of the questionable practices described in the book are being practiced in current times by Politicians running for some of the Nation's most important offices. The mediums of communication have changed over the last 135 years but the political dirty tricks are essentially the same!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In When Sex Changed, Layne Parish Craig analyzes the ways literary texts responded to the political, economic, sexual, and social values put forward by the birth control movements of the 1910s to the 1930s in the United States and Great Britain. Discussion of contraception and related topics (including feminism, religion, and eugenics) changed the way that writers depicted women, marriage, and family life. Tracing this shift, Craig compares disparate responses to the birth control controversy, from early skepticism by mainstream feminists, reflected in Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s Herland, to concern about the movement’s race and class implications suggested in Nella Larsen’s Quicksand, to enthusiastic speculation about contraception’s political implications, as in Virginia Woolf’s Three Guineas. While these texts emphasized birth control’s potential to transform marriage and family life and emancipate women from the “slavery” of constant childbearing, birth control advocates also used less-than-liberatory language that excluded the poor, the mentally ill, non-whites, and others. Ultimately, Craig argues, the debates that began in these early political and literary texts—texts that document both the birth control movement’s idealism and its exclusionary rhetoric—helped shape the complex legacy of family planning and women’s rights with which the United States and the United Kingdom still struggle.
