Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Long Road to Victory This is a book of soldiers' tales, told, for the most part, by those who took part in the events they records. They are drawn from many branches of service and from many countries; sometimes they are concerned with great and critical operations, but more often they deal with episodes and sideshows in the huge business of war. Their romance is the romance of naked truth undecorated by fancy, for the authentic miracles of the last few years have left the professional romancer limping far behind. There has never in the worlds history been such an arena of drama and strange adventure as that long road which the Allies travelled to victory. Libraries will not exhaust its treasures; indeed, it will be years before we, who have been preoccupied with special stages, will be able to grasp the wonders of the whole journey. This budget of wayside tales is only the cutting of a few sheaves at random from an immense harvest. The book is intended especially for those who are only now growing to manhood, and were too young themselves to take part in the campaigns. It would not be a good thing to be always thinking about the war, for the eyes of youth should be turned forward. But it would be a worse thing to forget it, for it is a matter for everlasting remembrance and eternal pride.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Road to Victory A fact of momentous importance is that not until the coming into existence of this Teutonic sub - race was there a really self-governing people. The earliest written history we have of this branch of the white race is the statement by Julius Caesar while he was campaign ing against them. A century later was written a more complete description by Tacitus in the little volume Germania. It appears that in the German for ests the young men upon attaining manhood were emancipated - given their freedom by their parents; whereas among the earlier peoples the father guided his family, including his male ascendants and their families, as long as he lived.* But in the German for ests there existed a people wherein the adults ruled themselves, aided by par ental and other advice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This “important contribution to WWII history” reveals the trucking convoy, manned by unsung black soldiers, who helped defeat the Nazis (Publishers Weekly). After the D-Day landings in Normandy, Allied forces faced a golden opportunity—and a critical challenge. They had broken across enemy lines, but there was no infrastructure to supply troops as they pushed into Germany. The US Army improvised a perilous solution: a convoy of trucks marked with red balls that would carry desperately needed ammunition, rations, and fuel deep into occupied Europe. The so-called Red Ball Express lasted eighty-one days and, at its height, numbered nearly six thousand trucks. The mission risked attacks by the Luftwaffe and German ground forces, making it one of the GIs’ most daring gambits. Without the soldiers who successfully executed this operation, World War II would have dragged on in Europe at a terrible cost of Allied lives. Yet the service of these brave drivers, most of whom were African American, has been largely overlooked by history. The first book-length study of the subject, The Road to Victory chronicles the exploits of these soldiers in vivid detail. It’s a story of a fight not only against the Nazis, but against an enemy closer to home: racism.

If your grandfather had been a poor man dependent only upon his profession, and you had been left penniless, I could understand. But he had ample means beside, and you tell me it has all been left to you. There is no shadow of need for you to work. Why then should you go out of your way to do voluntarily what so many un fortunate women are praying on bended knees to be spared the doing? I don't expect you to understand, Jean answered, ' her soft color coming and going as she spoke. But I must do something more than just live. I had grand father to care for before - her voice faltered a little be filled all my life I was necessary to him I needed no other work while I had him. But now I have nobody - absolutely nobody - in all the world; not a relation left, not any one, anywhere, to belong to - to do for.

Just as the clammy mud had stuck to his aching little feet on the long, long road from Kazan in Russia to Irkutsk in Siberia, the road that seemed as if it would never end, so the recollection of it hung dark in his memory for many a long year in fact, until he grew to manhood and had other and better things to think about. And even then the mud was never to be quite for gotten, because the sight of Katia made him think of it at times, and at such times he smiled, though it was no smiling matter when he was up to his knees in it. For, you see, Katia had come to him in the mud and he had never forgotten the very first time he saw her.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of Cambridge Verse Nevertheless, after all deductions have been made, how much true poetry is yet left! He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.

Book excerpt: Translation and commentary by Hidy Ochiai Although it was written more than 300 years ago as a treatise on strategy and combat, Musashi's The Book of Five Rings is treasured today as a classic work that speaks with equal power to the modern businessperson, philosopher and martial artist.

Download or read book The Path to Victory written by Douglas Porch and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2004 with total page 840 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mediterranean theater in World War II has long been overlooked by historians who believe it was little more than a string of small-scale battles--sideshows that were of minor importance in a war whose outcome was decided in the clashes of mammoth tank armies in northern Europe. But in this ground-breaking new book, one of our finest military historians argues that the Mediterranean was World War II's pivotal theater. Douglas Porch examines the Mediterranean as an integrated arena, one in which events in Syria and Suez influenced the survival of Gibraltar. Without a Mediterranean alternative, the Western Allies would probably have committed to a premature cross-Channel invasion in 1943 that might well have cost them the war. Brilliantly argued, with vivid portraits of Churchill, Montgomery, FDR, Rommel, and Mussolini, this original, accessible, and compelling account of a little-known theater emphasizes the importance of the Mediterranean in the ultimate Allied victory in Europe in World War II.

St. Clair Will brush them out of the way. He is coming with an army, you know, and we shall concern ourselves no further about sav ages. I Shook my head, but I did not speak, knowing how vain my words would be; and they, turning back to the map, began to divide anew the lands which another race held. I saw the same look upon the faces of them all Jasper, Mr. Carew, the large man Curry, and the slim faced lawyer Knowlton. It was a fine map, in beautiful blues and reds and yellows, but it seems to me that any map of the West should be all red. We had to colour it thus to buy it. I watched them a little as they parcelled so easily among themselves the country that others would have to water with their blood, and then I felt the eyes of Rose Carew upon me. You think they are making the division too soon, she said, knowing that the others, their souls gripped by earth-hunger, would not hear. They have bought, from those who can not sell, something which they can not take, I replied. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
