Download or read book Dying for Another Day written by Pete Edris and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-06 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "On January 1, 1943, First Lieutenant Pete Edris was transferred to the 306th Bomb Group, 369th Bomb Squad, and served under Col. Armstrong (who was portrayed by Gregory Peck in the movie, 'Twelve O'clock High'). This is Pete's story. It's a story of a twenty-two year old boy whose B-17 bomber was blown out of the sky over Rennes, France, on March 8, 1943. It's a story about the people who befriended him. And it's a testimonial to his irrepressible desire to survive one of Nazi Germany's most notorious prison camps, Stalag Luft III, from where 'The Great Escape' was based. It's a story about living to see another day...and reuniting with Doris Cooke, his soul mate...and the love of his life. It's a truly remarkable story about a rare World War II statistic: An infinitesimal twenty-three American soldiers were declared dead in World War II...and lived to tell about it. Pete Edris was one of those soldiers. And this is his unforgettable story." --Raymond Reid, Introduction, page v.

Download or read book Yellow Cat written by George Simone and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000-07 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yellow Cat explores the conflicts that led to the near extinction of the Apaches, the Indians who called themselves The People, during the 1870s. The story is driven by three protagonists: Yellow Cat, visionary warrior, who leads The People against encroaching White Eyes; General Crowe, Christian soldier, whose efforts toward peace meet political doom; and Indian Agent Osprey, who seeks to perpetuate a personally lucrative conflict. Sometimes aiding, and sometimes thwarting the aims of the protagonists, are: The G’an, animistic guardians of The People; Two Foxes, Yellow Cat’s sister, who becomes the Bride of the Sun; Chaco, traitor to The People; and Red Grass Rising, shamaness, leader of The People, and friend of the G’an; and enforcement officerWalter, who may be related to The Prince of Fire. Yellow Cat is the cymbal clash of a war between cultures whose reverberations continue to ring. [Author bio]George Simone lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan, from which base he frequently extends his years of study and travel in the Southwest.
Download or read book An American on the Western Front written by Patrick Gregory and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2016-07-07 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the remarkable story of the American First World War serviceman Arthur Clifford Kimber. When his country entered the Great War in 1917, Kimber left Stanford University to carry the first official American flag to the Western Front. Fired by idealism for the French cause, the young student initially acted as a volunteer ambulance driver, before training as a pilot and taking part in dogfights against 'the Boche'. His letters home give a vivid picture of what Kimber witnessed on his journey from Palo Alto, California to the front in France: keen-eyed descriptions of New York as it prepared for the forthcoming conflict, the privations of wartime Britain and France, and encounters with former president Theodore Roosevelt and Hollywood actress Lillian Gish. Kimber details his exhilaration, his everyday concerns and his horror as he adapts to an active wartime role. Arthur Clifford Kimber was one of the first Americans on the front line after the entry of the US into the war and, tragically, also one of the last to be buried there – killed in action just a few weeks before the end of the war. Here, his frank letters to his mother and brothers, compiled, edited and put in context by Patrick Gregory and Elizabeth Nurser, are published for the first time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three engrossing historical novels—in one volume—bring the Plantagenets and the splendor and scheming of twelfth-century Europe to vivid life. In The Fatal Crown, set against the seething political intrigues of twelfth-century Europe, two royal heirs surrender to passion as they vie for the most glittering, treacherous prize of all: the English throne. At twenty-five, the widowed Maud must marry once again, this time to fourteen-year-old Geoffrey Plantagenet. But it is with Stephen of Blois, Maud’s fiercest rival for the British throne, that the headstrong princess discovers the true meaning of desire. In Beloved Enemy, Aquitaine is under the French king’s safekeeping, and Eleanor, the Duke of Aquitaine’s eldest daughter, knows she must wed Prince Louis in order to insure the future of her beloved duchy. Fiercely independent, filled with untapped desire, the woman who would be queen must provide Louis VII, her monkish husband, with heirs. But it is young Henry of Anjou who catches Eleanor’s eye—and sets fire to her heart. And in Gilded Cages, Eleanor of Aquitaine and Henry Plantagenet—whose marriage was born of power, politics, and an all-consuming, fiery love—rule a vast kingdom. At first they work to unify and repair their war-torn lands—before being torn apart by intrigue, adultery, and deadly revenge.
