Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During World War II Rickenbacker, America's ace of aces in the First World War, supported the Allied war effort as a civilian. In October of 1942, Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson sent him on an inspection tour of air bases in the Pacific Theater of Operations (and entrusted him with a secret message to MacArthur), where his B-17 was forced to ditch after running out of fuel due to faulty navigation equipment. For 24 days, Rickenbacker and seven other men endured starvation, sporadic rainfall, and exposure, adrift in life rafts while waiting for rescue from the aircraft that searched for them in vain. One man died after drinking seawater. After splitting up with a crewman in another raft the remaining survivors, including Rickenbacker, were finally picked up on an island in the Tuvalu chain. He had lost 40 pounds in the ordeal, but went on to complete his assigned mission. This book tells the harrowing tale of their survival at sea.

Download or read book Seven Days of Infamy written by Nicholas Best and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2016-11-29 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: December 7, 1941: One of those rare days in world history that people remember exactly where they were, what they were doing, and how they felt when they heard the news. Marlene Dietrich, Clark Gable, and James Cagney were in Hollywood. Kurt Vonnegut was in the bath, and Dwight D. Eisenhower was napping. Kirk Douglas was a waiter in New York, getting nowhere with Lauren Bacall. Ed Murrow was preparing for a round of golf in Washington. In Seven Days of Infamy, historian Nicholas Best uses fascinating individual perspectives to relate the story of Japan’s momentous attack on Pearl Harbor and its global repercussions in tense, dramatic style. But he doesn’t stop there. Instead, Best takes readers on an unprecedented journey through the days surrounding the attack, providing a snapshot of figures around the world—from Ernest Hemingway on the road in Texas to Jack Kennedy playing touch football in Washington; Mao Tse-tung training his forces in Yun’an and the Jews in Nazi-occupied Europe cheering as the United States entered the war. Offering a human look at an event that would forever alter the global landscape, Seven Days of Infamy chronicles one of the most extraordinary weeks in world history.
Download or read book Seven Trumpets and the Investigative Judgment The written by David D. Burdick and published by Aspect Books. This book was released on 2017-04-13 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Earthquakes rip through the world as the Creator approaches, the stars fall, the sun goes dark, and the moon proclaims death. Jesus comes and His powerful presence causes the atmosphere to split and roll away. Revelation 6 shows people wailing for the mountains to bury them: “Fall on us, and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: for the great day of His wrath is come; and who will be able to stand?” And who does stand in that day? No one. Not a single soul. It's the total annihilation of a vile, self-righteous human race. God's followers expected all of this to happen on October 22, 1844. They watched and waited, but Jesus didn't return. This was only a warning preview of His return in the sixth seal. In God's mercy, He commands to delay the cataclysm of judgment day so that He can send to the world the needed preparation for the day of wrath. That needed preparation comes with the seven trumpets of the seventh seal that occur after 1844. The postponed destruction seen in the sixth seal will yet be a future reality. The Seven Trumpets and the Investigative Judgment examines chapters 4–11 in the book of Revelation and studies how recent events since 9/11 have almost completed God's gracious delay. This book presents a new view of Revelation that meets the biblical rules of prophetic interpretation and of the inspired “testimony of Jesus,” which is “the spirit of prophecy” (Rev. 19:10). How have we done in this waiting period? Will we stand when Jesus returns? By God's grace this book will help you prepare for that great day.

Download or read book Miles and Me written by Quincy Troupe and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2000-03-08 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quincy Troupe's candid account of his friendship with Miles Davis is a revealing portrait of a great musician and an intimate study of a unique relationship. It is also an engrossing chronicle of the author's own development, both artistic and personal. As Davis's collaborator on Miles: The Autobiography,Troupe--one of the major poets to emerge from the 1960s--had exceptional access to the musician. This memoir goes beyond the life portrayed in the autobiography to describe in detail the processes of Davis's spectacular creativity and the joys and difficulties his passionate, contradictory temperament posed to the men's friendship. It shows how Miles Davis, both as a black man and an artist, influenced not only Quincy Troupe but whole generations. Troupe has written that Miles Davis was "irascible, contemptuous, brutally honest, ill-tempered when things didn't go his way, complex, fair-minded, humble, kind and a son-of-a-bitch." The author's love and appreciation for Davis make him a keen, though not uncritical, observer. He captures and conveys the power of the musician's presence, the mesmerizing force of his personality, and the restless energy that lay at the root of his creativity. He also shows Davis's lighter side: cooking, prowling the streets of Manhattan, painting, riding his horse at his Malibu home. Troupe discusses Davis's musical output, situating his albums in the context of the times--both political and musical--out of which they emerged. Miles and Me is an unparalleled look at the act of creation and the forces behind it, at how the innovations of one person can inspire both those he knows and loves and the world at large.

Others are broken in spirit. An uneasy calm has descended upon this part of the Western Front. But it cannot last. Far behind the front line two formidable women are driven together, one by her search for vengeance, the other by her obsessive determination to achieve the impossible. But vengeance and obsession are dangerous companions, and when they join forces the consequences are catastrophic. Oberkanone is the second part of the Kanone trilogy. Once again Homer's epic the Iliad is transported from the windswept plains of Troy to the frozen killing fields of France. Once again the timeless tale of tragedy unfolds, a tale that speaks of man's indomitable pride and his insatiable lust for glory.
