Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Scout and Ranger: Being the Personal Adventures of Corporal Pike, of the Fourth Ohio Cavalry We are now to have a national literature, as well as a national existence. American writers of romance and the drama, will no longer seek the antiquated regions of Europe for scenes and heroes; America has supplied all that is necessary to the most vivid of pictures; and no pen, even though the plot be fiction, need ever exaggerate in incidents or descriptions. He who tells the Simple truth, narrates more of the strange and the heroic, than could be conceived by the fertility of a Dickens, or a Dumas.

CHAPTER X OF course it was folly to imagine that I was at the end of my rope; the battle of Bull Run was the beginning, not the end, of the war. But Stanley had won an important victory, and you may believe I watched anxiously to see how he would follow it up. If I had been in his position and he in mine, I am convinced I could have routed him, and that conviction made me feel pretty uncomfortable until it was fairly evident to me that he didn't see matters as I did. It seems a truism, in these days of trusts and combines, to say that the thing for him to do was to make a perfectly "square" deal with the other mine owners, and so to convert them from neutrals into active allies, and then to weld this confederacy into a solid commercial empire; in short, to do just what I had been trying to do. But he didn't see his interests that way. He gave them just liberal enough rebate to save them a loss, to make it not worth their while at present to fight him. When I concluded that this was the case, my own prospects brightened up considerably. For the present, however, I was still the under dog, and I was anxious to get out of that situation as soon as possible. With that end in view, I set in motion, at about the same time, an attack along three independent lines. The main one was a flank movement; the second was a direct assault, about whose success I was quite indifferent, as it was only to attract attention, and serve as a mask for the others; and the third was a shot in the dark, an arrow in the air, or, as the street would say, a flier. When Lawrence came up to see me one afternoon, he found closeted with me in my inner office a man of a class seldom successful in running the gauntlet of the guards I had set upon my person, or rather upon...

The other half of this suspender belonged to his father; the two strands had origi nally formed a single pair and now, in their sepa rate responsibilities, each did duty continuously, since neither Tom nor his father undressed when they went to bed.

Download or read book Slaughterhouse Five written by Kurt Vonnegut and published by Dial Press Trade Paperback. This book was released on 1999-01-12 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kurt Vonnegut’s masterpiece, Slaughterhouse-Five is “a desperate, painfully honest attempt to confront the monstrous crimes of the twentieth century” (Time). Selected by the Modern Library as one of the 100 best novels of all time Slaughterhouse-Five, an American classic, is one of the world’s great antiwar books. Centering on the infamous World War II firebombing of Dresden, the novel is the result of what Kurt Vonnegut described as a twenty-three-year struggle to write a book about what he had witnessed as an American prisoner of war. It combines historical fiction, science fiction, autobiography, and satire in an account of the life of Billy Pilgrim, a barber’s son turned draftee turned optometrist turned alien abductee. As Vonnegut had, Billy experiences the destruction of Dresden as a POW. Unlike Vonnegut, he experiences time travel, or coming “unstuck in time.” An instant bestseller, Slaughterhouse-Five made Kurt Vonnegut a cult hero in American literature, a reputation that only strengthened over time, despite his being banned and censored by some libraries and schools for content and language. But it was precisely those elements of Vonnegut’s writing—the political edginess, the genre-bending inventiveness, the frank violence, the transgressive wit—that have inspired generations of readers not just to look differently at the world around them but to find the confidence to say something about it. Authors as wide-ranging as Norman Mailer, John Irving, Michael Crichton, Tim O’Brien, Margaret Atwood, Elizabeth Strout, David Sedaris, Jennifer Egan, and J. K. Rowling have all found inspiration in Vonnegut’s words. Jonathan Safran Foer has described Vonnegut as “the kind of writer who made people—young people especially—want to write.” George Saunders has declared Vonnegut to be “the great, urgent, passionate American writer of our century, who offers us . . . a model of the kind of compassionate thinking that might yet save us from ourselves.” More than fifty years after its initial publication at the height of the Vietnam War, Vonnegut’s portrayal of political disillusionment, PTSD, and postwar anxiety feels as relevant, darkly humorous, and profoundly affecting as ever, an enduring beacon through our own era’s uncertainties.

Download or read book Soldier Dogs written by Maria Goodavage and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2012-12-31 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A leading reporter offers a tour of military working dogs' extraordinary training, heroic accomplishments, and the lasting impacts they have on those who work with them. People all over the world have been riveted by the story of Cairo, the Belgian Malinois who was a part of the Navy SEAL team that led the raid on Osama bin Laden's compound. A dog's natural intelligence, physical abilities, and pure loyalty contribute more to our military efforts than ever before. You don't have to be a dog lover to be fascinated by the idea that a dog-the cousin of that furry guy begging for scraps under your table-could be one of the heroes who helped execute the most vital and high-tech military mission of the new millennium. Now Maria Goodavage, editor and featured writer for one of the world's most widely read dog blogs, tells heartwarming stories of modern soldier dogs and the amazing bonds that develop between them and their handlers. Beyond tales of training, operations, retirement, and adoption into the families of fallen soldiers, Goodavage talks to leading dog-cognition experts about why dogs like nothing more than to be on a mission with a handler they trust, no matter how deadly the IEDs they are sniffing, nor how far they must parachute or rappel from aircraft into enemy territory. "Military working dogs live for love and praise from their handlers," says Ron Aiello, president of the United States War Dogs Association and a former marine scout dog handler. "The work is all a big game, and then they get that pet, that praise. They would do anything for their handler." This is an unprecedented window into the world of these adventurous, loving warriors.

A young hero overcomes implacable foes to lead a planet fallen into a dark age back to the high point of its lost technological civilization.
