Book excerpt: When boatyard directors Mike Randle and Suzie Drake hire out their refurbished sixty-foot yacht, the engaged couple has no idea that their clients will not be returning it to them. Instead, the police deliver the news a few days later that the now smashed vessel has been found drifting in the English Channel with three bodies aboard. Worse yet, the yacht may have been hired to smuggle drugs. As repairs on the yacht begin, workers soon find hidden drugs stashed inside the vessel. After Mike and Suzie collect the drugs and prepare to hand the packages over to the police, armed drug dealers invade their home in search of the stash. After a shootout leaves one of the gunmen dead and the other vowing to kill the boatyard directors, Mike is run off the road and badly injured in a motorcycle accident. While he recuperates, he and Suzie agree to let a director use their refitted yacht in a television pilot. As they head to Ibiza for the filming, Mike and Suzie have no clue that someone is trailing them, and that their adventure has just begun.

Download or read book G I Nightingales written by Barbara Tomblin and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2003-11-28 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Weaving together information from official sources and personal interviews, Barbara Tomblin gives the first full-length account of the U.S. Army Nurse Corps in the Second World War. She describes how over 60,000 army nurses, all volunteers, cared for sick and wounded American soldiers in every theater of the war, serving in the jungles of the Southwest Pacific, the frozen reaches of Alaska and Iceland, the mud of Italy and northern Europe, or the heat and dust of the Middle East. Many of the women in the Army Nurse Corps served in dangerous hospitals near the front lines—201 nurses were killed by accident or enemy action, and another 1,600 won decorations for meritorious service. These nurses address the extreme difficulties of dealing with combat and its effects in World War II, and their stories are all the more valuable to women’s and military historians because they tell of the war from a very different viewpoint than that of male officers. Although they were unable to achieve full equality for American women in the military during World War II, army nurses did secure equal pay allowances and full military rank, and they proved beyond a doubt their ability and willingness to serve and maintain excellent standards of nursing care under difficult and often dangerous conditions.
Download or read book One Common Enemy written by Jim McLoughlin and published by Wakefield Press. This book was released on 2018-11-05 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'I'll see the world,' Jim McLoughlin told his parents as he set off to join the Royal Navy in 1939. 'It'll be fun.' Months later, this Liverpool lad was sailing to war aboard the massive battleship HMS Valiant. He saw some of the world, but it wasn't fun. In One Common Enemy, he recounts how the chaos and carnage of war at sea in the Norwegian and Mediterranean campaigns led him to a fateful rendezvous with a much-loved ship from his boyhood, the passenger liner Laconia. Nostalgia turned to disaster when Laconia was torpedoed by a German U-boat in the South Atlantic. Despite a remarkable rescue attempt by a courageous, compassionate foe, Jim was condemned to a drifting lifeboat and a harrowing voyage of death and madness. One Common Enemy is a story of a desperate personal battle for survival, but also a moving narrative of innocence lost and a lifelong battle with confronting memories.

Book excerpt: The biography of a young nurse from Minnesota who joins the war effort behind her father’s back. She finds herself holed up treating the critically wounded from the Battle of the Bulge. In December 1944, she blatantly defies discriminatory army rules to save the lives of her patients. A month after her 24th birthday, Lt. Mary Elizabeth Balster collapses among the rubble of a shelled supply room. Has the young nurse finally succumbed to the mounting emotional toll caused from months of caring for the sick and wounded just behind the front lines of General Patton’s Third Army? On the night of November 30, 1944, holed up in the Heinrich Himmler Barracks in Morhange, France, Lt. Balster’s evac receives a typical patient load (over 200 soldiers, including wounded enemy), but this time one of the admissions is a 19-year-old tanker she’d nursed back to health five months before in Normandy. The charge nurse on Surgical gently informs the lieutenant that the private is critical, admitted with two gunshot wounds and almost half his body consumed by burns. Rising determined to save him, Balster limps toward the shelled supply room determined to search for any blood plasma bottles still intact after Luftwaffe strafing. Recaptured from her mother’s reminiscences and letters home, N. C. R. Davis takes the reader through every heat-of-battle harrowing moment as Balster lived it, achieving a rare glimpse of one nurse’s point of view during the latter part of the European conflict. The book mixes Lt. Balster’s observations, memories, and dreams to re-tell the true story of a richly rebellious and intense woman trying to navigate her life and nurture her sanity while nursing the wounded and dying frontline soldiers of the Third Army. Her strong-willed, beguiling personality fosters the grit necessary for her success as a combat nurse, but these same characteristics cause two men to fall in love with her. And the personal cost of war comes to a heartrending conclusion, as she must choose one man over the other to save herself.

Download or read book The Women Who Wrote the War written by Nancy Caldwell Sorel and published by Skyhorse Publishing Inc.. This book was released on 2011-05-15 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "They came from Boston, New York, Milwaukee, San Francisco, and St. Louis; from Yakima, Washington; Austin, Texas; and Sioux City, Iowa. They left comfortable homes and safe surroundings for combat-zone duty. As women war correspondents, they brought a fresh view to the battlefields of World War II. Their experience was at once wide-ranging and intimate, devastating at one moment, heartwarming the next. In their ranks we encounter world-famous photojournalist Margaret Bourke-White, the only Western photographer to cover the Nazi invasion of the USSR; Martha Gellhorn, writer and wife of Ernest Hemingway, who presciently reported on the menace of fascism; the New Yorker's Janet Flanner, recording the bleak realities of life in post-liberation France; and Marguerite Higgins, who dared enter the concentration camp at Dachau just ahead of the American army. Nancy Sorel weaves together the lives and times of these fearless, dashing, and eccentric women, assuring them their rightful place in history."--Page 4 of cover.
