Download or read book War Correspondent written by Michael Moynihan and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 1994-06-01 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The offhand admission to the doctor at the recruiting centre that he suffered from asthma as a boy was enough to put an end to Michael Moynihan's military career even before it started. However, this unpropitious beginning was eventually to lead to a wartime career far more dramatic than anything he could have imagined had he been allowed to don the King's uniform. For, after a provincial grounding as a cub reporter in the North, he moved to London and soon became a war correspondent on the now long-defunct News Chronical, then one of the leading newspapers in Fleet Street. Prior to that he had acclimatised himself to a via de boheme in violent contrast to an upbringing largely centred around the near by Strict and Particular Baptist Chapel, and which gave him the opportunity to make the acquittance of the likes of Dylan Thomas, Tambimuttu, and his cousin Rodrigo, the painter. Then came D-Day and he is off to France. He is present at the Liberation of Paris. He covers the Arnhem fiasco from the air. He is in the American sector during the Battle of the Bulge He is sent to the Far East and flies the first dispatch from Hiroshima. And those are just a few of the highlights. From his own dispatches, many of which, in those space-starved days, were never published, from his on-the-spot diaries and letters to friends and relations, and from his won memories Michael moynihan has woven a tapestry which vividly brings to life the quite remarkable adventure of a man who was considered too unfit to fight for his country but who managed to serve it with as much courage as any who came home with a chest covered with medals.

Download or read book George Best written by Ivan Ponting and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-10-25 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plucked from the mean streets of Belfast by a canny old scout, George Best astonished everyone at Old Trafford with his unique gift for the game, bursting into Matt Busby's first team at the age of seventeen. He starred in the 1964/65 title-winning Manchester United side while still in his teens. Fame and adulation soon followed, and 'El Beatle' became football's first pop idol in 1966 after the match of his life against the Portuguese club Benfica in Lisbon. A part of the glorious trinity with Denis Law and Bobby Charlton, Best shone again in 1966/67 when the Red Devils clinched the league title once more, and he was central to the lifting of the European Cup in 1968. He was still only twenty-two and was voted the best player in Europe. From that pinnacle, there was only one way to go, and Manchester United's subsequent decline in domestic football and Northern Ireland's failure in the international game led to frustration and disillusionment for Best. His early retirement at the age of twenty-seven left many fans wondering what he could have achieved had he won the battles with his private demons. But most prefer to cherish the ten years he enthralled supporters and players alike with his skills and humility.

Book excerpt: As an independent publisher, Jeremy Robson always punched above his weight with a roster of authors that have been the envy of many large publishers. As a poet, he has been at the centre of the poetry scene since the 1960s, with a number of highly praised volumes to his credit and the friendship of many leading poets and musicians. In this engrossing memoir, Robson looks back at both his publishing career and life as a poet. Stories abound; whether it be driving Muhammad Ali around Britain, coping with Michael Winner or working in the desert with David Ben-Gurion. Time spent joyously laughing with Maureen Lipman and Alan Coren while undertaking an exciting poetry reading tour with Ted Hughes, and packing the Royal Festival Hall for a historic poetry and jazz concert. Jeremy recounts treasured and life-long friendships with the poets and writers; Dannie Abse, Alan Sillitoe, Vernon Scannell, Laurie Lee, Yevgeny Yevtushenko, Elie Wiesel and Frederic Raphael. Well known and celebrated as both publisher and poet, Jeremy Robson has produced a delicious memoir that will delight the reader.

Download or read book Sperm Wonderful Sperm written by Alan Smithie and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 618 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I remember a report some time ago extolling the health benefits of the vitamins found in sperm, with the advice that in preparation for having a healthy and intelligent baby, for some months before becoming pregnant a woman should swallow her partner's sperm. You can rest assured this report was compiled by a team of men. This has nothing whatsoever to do with the fact I set out to write a book entitled "49," a humorously light-hearted fly-on-the-wall look at my life from the day before my forty-ninth birthday to the day I hit fifty. A story of how I was coping with being too old for a mid-life crisis, counting the days tick down until the inevitable half-century. Should I be wearing socks with sandals; when would I start to enjoy pastimes that involved either binoculars, a fishing rod, making boats out of used matchsticks, a tandem bicycle or Morris dancing? Was I developing man-breasts, and more importantly, would the next woman I meet have bingo-wings? What pre-fifty pastimes would I be consigning to the dusty bin of life - wearing Ramones T-shirts and ogling young girls; my T-shirt definitely had to go. Maybe I wouldn't even make it to the end of the book; instead I'd meet my end running the Snowdonia Marathon. As it was I did make it to the end. Having spent a year writing "49" and many months trying to get a publishing deal without success, I started to write a blog. I pretty soon realised the missing ingredient - sex: sex sells. Post a good title and you have a success; mention anal sex and you have a best-seller. Without a second thought I changed the book title to "Sperm, Wonderful Sperm!" and quickly contacted an online print-on-demand publisher. This is the result...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Natalie, facing retirement, returns to the UK from South Africa to care for her elderly mother, whose mischievous ways have caused nothing but trouble amongst her three daughters. Unsure about what her future holds, Natalie wonders if she is still young enough to have a life. She reunites with her old friend Maggie, a wickedly cynical veteran of the ‘36-year marriage-gone-stale’ club, who cannot fathom why Natalie would consider introducing another man into her life, let alone actively seek one out on the internet. Especially since, according to Maggie, Natalie has always been a terrible judge of men! But when Natalie meets 59-year-old Richard, she believes she has found the one: a softy spoken, gentle giant who wines and dines her, takes her on a Caribbean cruise, and enjoys time on the beautiful South African south coast with her. But is Richard too good to be true? And will Maggie be proven right?
