Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Sand and Steel gives us D-Day, arguably the greatest and most consequential military operation of modern times, beginning with the years of painstaking and costly preparation, through to the pitched battles fought along France's northern coast, from Omaha Beach to the Falaise and the push east to Strasbourg. In addition to covering the build-up to the invasion, including the elaborate and lavish campaigns to deceive Germans as to where and when the invasion would take place, Peter Caddick-Adams gives a full and detailed account of the German preparations, but the heart of the book is Caddick-Adams' narratives of the five beaches where the terrible drama played out--Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword, and the attempt by American, British, and Canadian soldiers to gain a foothold in Europe"--

Jack McCall, an American living in Rome with his young daughter, is trying to find peace after the recent trauma of his wife's suicide.

Download or read book Ship Happens written by Timothy J. Richards and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2007-08 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ship Happens! is a journal a personal blending of the youthful memories of my two children and a six-night adventure on a Tiger Cruise as a guest on a United States Navy warship, the USS Bridge. From my sailor son's initial invitation by e-mail from the Persian Gulf, culminating with the heart-warming reunion with his family on the Bremerton naval pier, this 22-photo documented book chronicles the nine-day event, from the initial problems associated with traveling to the well-planned military demonstrations that took place on a daily basis aboard ship. Following my son Tim's eight-month deployment to the Persian Gulf when the Iraqi War broke out in 2003, my daughter and I were invited on the Tiger Cruise, sailing from Pearl Harbor to Bremerton Naval Base, Washington. But the cruise was more than an adventure. It was to honor my son for enlisting in the Navy following the terrorist attack on 9/11 and to encourage my twenty-five year old daughter to take advantage of the opportunity to see what living was like on a military warship. I wanted her to join me as family ambassadors when the ship returned to homeport, and Tim greeted his wife who had delivered their first child while he was on duty in the Gulf. The book concludes with a heart-warming scene and photograph of Tim holding his newborn baby while his adoring wife and tearful sister look on.
