Book excerpt: For the lonesome soldier voices in the night brings regret and depression in the daylight. For some it's a legacy of pain, for some its pride, for all PTSD can be torture. My name is Jackson and I am only one of the many returning soldiers that suffer from invisible wounds. "Step into my life, for a few minutes. I am an American soldier in the Army, just back from Iraq. This is where I lived and fought beside my friends, my family as we grew to think of one another, as we battled insurgents. Try to understand our dilemma when we return home. I am a son, I am a father, I am a husband, I am a soldier, I am a man that is conflicted, I am, I was, I hope to be again." Follow my journey. If you ask any soldier that has experienced the loss of a fellow soldier, the pelleting rain of shrapnel or the onset of relentless machine gun fire, they will tell you that all they really want is peace, to be safe at home. A soldier knows what the risk and cost are, but we all willingly fight for freedom for all. A soldier takes an oath for our nation to go where ever they are needed at any time; even though we do not choose or even agree with the wars that we fight, we willingly go. Once your boots are on the ground you fight for the soldier that is standing next to you, the soldier that is suffering the same hardship that you are. Our main objective is to do the job that we came to do and get everyone back home alive. Each day as the sun rose in Iraq we all faced mortality, as we were attacked by mortars, rocket propelled grenades, suicide bombers, and civilians that were used as weapons, especially the children. Our company responded to each challenge with tenacity, compassion, understanding and courage, even though most of the people in Iraq wanted to kill us. When I first arrived in Iraq, in all honesty, I had a one dimensional view of the people, and then the unthinkable happened. We were on guard duty, guarding the entrance of our camp, when a little girl, not more than eight years old, walked across the street. She was heading straight toward us with a backpack on. I prayed, "Please don't let that backpack be an explosive device." The closer she got to us the more she started to change, in my mind she became my eight year old niece. All though I knew better, I started to walk towards her when I felt a hand on my shoulder, it was my commander George, he said, "You can't go to her." I looked toward her, our eyes met for a brief second and she was my niece, just as the backpack she was carrying exploded. I made a promise to these kids right then and there to protect them, at all cost. That's the day my personal hell began.

Download or read book The Road to the Throne written by Hing Ming Hung and published by Algora Publishing. This book was released on 2011 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation The stories of the Chinese great emperors reflect the ancient Chinese philosophy, ideology, their wisdom and their ways of administration. Liu Bang is an outstanding example. Rising from a peasant background to become Emperor, he founded the Han Dynasty which lasted for about four hundred years and essentially laid the foundations of China as we know it. Liu Bang (256 BC?195 BC), posthumously called Emperor Gaozu, was a low-ranking functionary in an obscure corner of the realm when he caught the wave of the great uprisings against the Qin Dynasty. First as leader of a local contingent and then as general of larger and larger armies, he eventually overthrew the despotic Qin emperor. Today, the Han are the majority ethnic identity in China. This is the story of the rise of Emperor Gaozu, his alliances and his rivalries, and the priceless partnership provided by his chief military strategist Zhang Liang, who planned victorious campaigns from a distance of 1000 miles; Xiao He, who stabilized the state, pacified the people, and assured the food supply to the army; and General Han Xin, who commanded the Han army in its conquest of the State of Wei, the State of Zhao, the State of Yan and the State of Qi and played a great role in the defeat of Xiang Yu.

Download or read book The Lonesome Crown written by Brian Lee Durfee and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2022-11-29 with total page 1088 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sweeping epic fantasy weaving both destiny and ancient magic in this masterful final novel in the beloved Five Warrior Angels trilogy from Brian Lee Durfee. In the age of belief, magic is a myth. But when an apocalyptic crusade comes to the remote border of Gul Kana, that belief is shattered as is the tenuous peace that held the Five Isles together. Now, the prophecies that were used to justify this war are unravelling revealing a hidden agenda while the world lies in the wake of the degradations of this war. But a slim skein of hope resides within the hidden truths, long kept secret, and scattered throughout the isles—truths less reliant upon prophecy than heroism, and great sacrifice. Not everything is as it seems in this epic, long-awaited conclusion to trilogy which Booklist raved as “high fantasy in the vein of Stephen R. Donaldson or David Eddings, with generous helpings from George R. R. Martin.”

Chris finds himself dragged, kicking and screaming, back into a land that has descended into chaos, and forced onto a throne that he'd long since abandoned. With a seemingly invincible army marching on the kingdom, the fate of Celeraan once again rests on Chris's shoulders. But this time, if he fails, it won't just be game over.

In reality it is a parable of the evils of socialism... a clash of ideals. What happens when a man’s personal vision is in conflict with another man’s and what happens when that second man has the full force of the government behind him. Can individualism triumph over “the common good”?
