Download or read book One Step from Glory written by Martin Cloake and published by eBook Partnership. This book was released on 2019-09-16 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tale of Tottenham Hotspur's extraordinary run to the 2019 Champions League Final in Madrid. Authors Alex Fynn and Martin Cloake examine how Spurs confounded all predictions to enjoy their most successful ever CL campaign - and what it means for the future. They explain why a certain style of football and competing in Europe are central to the club's identity, and look at how manager Mauricio Pochettino drew on these traditions to create a very modern success story. Using match reports from national newspapers to provide the narrative thread, Fynn and Cloake draw on their football backgrounds to explain why this campaign so fired the imagination - in a season with no signings, played mostly without a home stadium. With a rich cast of characters and locations ranging from Eindhoven to Madrid via Barcelona and Dortmund - and one emotional night in Amsterdam - One Step from Glory tells the story of a football odyssey.

Download or read book Two Steps from Glory written by Welton I. Taylor and published by . This book was released on 2012-07-23 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When 2nd Lieutenant Welton I. Taylor, a lanky kid from the South Side of Chicago with a genius-level I.Q. and a passion for flying, deployed to the South Pacific with the all-black 93rd Infantry Division in 1943, he expected to utilize his flying skills and Field Artillery training in the service of the country he loved. Little did he know that the army that had painstakingly trained him really didn't want him to fight, or that the Jim Crow laws that had haunted his life at home would follow him all the way to Guadalcanal. Two Steps from Glory is the eye-opening and inspiring story of how a young black pilot outsmarted the racist machinations of the segregated U.S. Army, out-maneuvered the Japanese Army, and dodged the Grim Reaper on no less than eight occasions during World War II -- all while flying a tiny, fabric-covered airplane with not even a radio, much less a gun, on board. Professors and students of 20th Century American History, African-American Studies, Military History, and Civil Rights will find Two Steps from Glory to be much more than a good story, well told, however. A veritable history lesson in a box, Two Steps from Glory uses it Foreword and Afterword to provide a succinct overview of two hundred years of African American military history, chronicling Blacks' participation in every war from the War of Independence to the war in Afghanistan and proving that the civil rights movement started long before Rosa Parks sat down on a Montgomery, Alabama, bus. Lieutenant Taylor's saga falls neatly into this wider historical context, bringing a rich but forgotten part of American history alive in entertaining personal detail. Two Steps from Glory will be a valuable addition to any high school or college library and curriculum and an engaging read for adults of all ages.

Book excerpt: It began in November 1896 when football was still in its infancy. About 500 people turned out on a soggy field in Worcester, Massachusetts to watch Holy Cross battler Boston College. That game initiated one of the great rivalries in football history. Itinvolved some of the most famous players and coaches to ever step on a football field. In its 91 years, the rivalry spawned controversy, contention, fierce competitiveness, elation, gloom, and great moments. It was also linked to heart-breaking tragedy. In the end, the rivalry of the two Jesuit colleges, Boston college and Holy Cross, would prove to be a microcosm of intercollegiate sports.

Download or read book Where Men Win Glory written by Jon Krakauer and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2010-07-27 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A "gripping book about this extraordinary man who lived passionately and died unnecessarily" (USA Today) in post-9/11 Afghanistan, from the bestselling author of Into the Wild and Into Thin Air. In 2002, Pat Tillman walked away from a multimillion-dollar NFL contract to join the Army and became an icon of American patriotism. When he was killed in Afghanistan two years later, a legend was born. But the real Pat Tillman was much more remarkable, and considerably more complicated than the public knew. Sent first to Iraq—a war he would openly declare was “illegal as hell” —and eventually to Afghanistan, Tillman was driven by emotionally charged, sometimes contradictory notions of duty, honor, justice, and masculine pride, and he was determined to serve his entire three-year commitment. But on April 22, 2004, his life would end in a barrage of bullets fired by his fellow soldiers. Though obvious to most of the two dozen soldiers on the scene that a ranger in Tillman’s own platoon had fired the fatal shots, the Army aggressively maneuvered to keep this information from Tillman’s family and the American public for five weeks following his death. During this time, President Bush used Tillman’s name to promote his administration’ s foreign policy. Long after Tillman’s nationally televised memorial service, the Army grudgingly notified his closest relatives that he had “probably” been killed by friendly fire while it continued to dissemble about the details of his death and who was responsible. Drawing on Tillman’s journals and letters and countless interviews with those who knew him and extensive research in Afghanistan, Jon Krakauer chronicles Tillman’s riveting, tragic odyssey in engrossing detail highlighting his remarkable character and personality while closely examining the murky, heartbreaking circumstances of his death. Infused with the power and authenticity readers have come to expect from Krakauer’s storytelling, Where Men Win Glory exposes shattering truths about men and war. This edition has been updated to reflect new developments and includes new material obtained through the Freedom of Information Act.

The story recounts the important battles they fought from the Champagne to the Ourcq River, to St. Thierry, to St. Mihiel, to the Meuse-Argonne, and finally to the armistice of 1918.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My purpose in writing this book is to draw the attention of the Christian community to what is happening to the values of the church, how they are being compromised. And how through time, what was once its core values and the central focus of its mission has gradually shifted until many of its original precepts have been lost. It is my hope that through making the church aware of its condition it will awake and once more embrace the teachings of Christ and the scriptures.
