Download or read book The Southern Tiger written by Ricardo Lagos and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2012-01-03 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Former Chilean president Ricardo Lagos provides a fascinating glimpse inside his country's meteoric rise on the world stage. A leader in the underground resistance movement against Augusto Pinochet and his Dirty War, Ricardo Lagos burst onto the national stage in 1988 when he gave a speech denouncing the dictator, the first of its kind. Revolution soon followed, as Chileans took to the streets to oust a criminal despot and pave the way for democracy. In The Southern Tiger, Lagos chronicles Chile's journey from terror and repression to a thriving open society, and from crushing poverty to one of the wealthiest nations in Latin America. His thrilling stories of surviving Chile's political prisons, standing up to President George W. Bush over the war in Iraq, and rebuilding Chile's education system demonstrate why President Obama recently called Chile 'a model for the region and the world.' As citizens across the globe rise up to demand more from their governments, The Southern Tiger is an inspiring story of political and economic rebirth in the wake of fear.

The rich tradition of Pennsylvania scholastic football has produced legendary players, coaches, and teams. However, situated between the cornfields in the vast farmlands of central Pennsylvania is a small high school with a story that needs to be told. Surprisingly few have heard of or recognize this incredible team. From their humble beginnings in 1962, the Southern Columbia Tigers have become the most successful high school football program that Pennsylvania has ever seen. But success on the gridiron has not always been easy for the Tigers and their devoted fans. They experienced their share of growing pains and endured a multi-season losing streak that saw the program nearly dropped by the school's administration. However, Southern played with grit and determination that would lay the foundation for the dynasty to come. The winners of a record-eleven Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association football championships, the Tigers have been named the small-school national football champions three consecutive years. Southern's head coach has the most career victories in Pennsylvania high school football history. The program has produced numerous college players and a Super Bowl champion. The team has experienced the pinnacle of success, endured and overcame unthinkable tragedies, and has never compromised ethics and academics for the sake of victory. This is the story of the Southern Columbia Tigers.

Download or read book In the Year of the Tiger written by William M. Waddell and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2018-08-09 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1950, France experienced two parallel but different outcomes in its Indochina war. While the conflict in the north ended with a disastrous defeat for the French at Dien Bien Phu, in southern Vietnam, or Cochinchina, France emerged victorious in a series of violent but now largely forgotten actions. In the Year of the Tiger tells the story of this critical southern campaign, revealing in dramatic detail how the French war for Cochinchina set the stage for the American war in Vietnam. In northern Vietnam, the French troops had focused on destroying Viet Minh main force units. A dearth of resources in the south dictated a different strategy. William M. Waddell III describes how, by avoiding costly attempts to defeat the Viet Minh in the traditional military sense, the southern French command was able to secure key economic and political strongholds. Consulting both French and Vietnamese sources, Waddell examines the principal commanders on both sides, their competing strategies, and the hard-fought military campaign that they waged for control of the south. The author’s deft analysis suggests that counter to widely accepted views, the Viet Minh were not invincible, and the outcome of the conflict in Indochina was not inevitable. A challenge to historical orthodoxy, In the Year of the Tiger presents a more balanced interpretation of the French war for Indochina. At the same time, the book alters and expands our understanding of the precedents and the dynamics of America’s Vietnam War.

Download or read book Moon Tiger written by Penelope Lively and published by Grove/Atlantic, Inc.. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A powerful, moving and beautifully wrought novel about the ways in which lives are molded by personal memory and the collective past.” —The Boston Globe Winner of the Man Booker Prize Elderly, uncompromising Claudia Hampton lies in a London hospital bed with memories of life fluttering through her fading consciousness. An author of popular history, Claudia proclaims she’s carrying out her last project: a history of the world. This history turns out to be a mosaic of her life, her own story tangled with those of her brother, her lover and father of her daughter, and the center of her life, Tom, her one great love found and lost in war-torn Egypt. Always the independent woman, often with contentious relationships, Claudia’s personal history is complex and fascinating. As people visit Claudia, they shake and twist the mosaic, changing speed, movement, and voice, to reveal themselves and Claudia’s impact on their world. “Emotionally, Moon Tiger is kaleidoscopic, deeply satisfying. The all too brief encounter between Claudia and Tom will surely rate as one of the most memorable of contemporary fictional affairs. This is one of the best novels I have read for years.” —The London Sunday Telegraph “It pulls us in; it engages us and saddens us. It is also unexpectedly funny . . . It leaves its traces in the air long after you’ve put it away.” —The New York Times Book Review “One of the very best Booker winners . . . it asks hard questions about memory and history and personal legacy; it’s stylistically demanding and inventive . . . a wonderful book.” —The Guardian

Book excerpt: Tigers of the World, Second Edition explores tiger biology, ecology, conservation, management, and the science and technology that make this possible.
