Download or read book Thunder Over Europe Classic Reprint written by Edward Alexander Powell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-26 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thunder Over Europe In writing a book of this description much informa tion not readily available to the public is required. To obtain it the author frequently must request from the governments concerned certain privileges and facilities for observation and investigation. Yet, by the acceptance of such privileges, and the social courtesies which usually accompany them, the author places himself under an implied obligation. Thus, if he criticizes the policy of a government which has aided him, or expresses opinions which are unpalatable to it, he is accused of ingratitude and bad taste. If, on the other hand, he seeks to retain the good-will of a government by ignoring or white washing unpleasant facts, he breaks faith with those who buy his books. The question arises then: should he de ceive his readers by refraining from criticism; or should he state the facts bluntly, as he sees them, regardless of whose toes he treads on? It has always seemed to me that an author's paramount obligation is to his readers. They buy his books on the assumption that he will tell them the unvarnished truth.

Book excerpt: The story of Tang and her gallant crew ranks with the most amazing of naval history. Whether rescuing Navy fliers off Truk or stalking enemy convoys off Japan, Tang carried the war to the enemy with unparalleled ferocity. Tang’s skipper on all five of her war patrols, Rear Admiral Richard H. O’Kane is acknowledged as the top submarine skipper of World War II.

And here it is, in this extraordinary ‘tell it as it really happened’ book, written by the most daring, most professional submarine skipper of the war.”—Capt. Edward Beach, author of Run Silent, Run Deep “A classic of naval literature. . . . A stirring tribute, not only to [Richard O’Kane’s] gallant crew, but to all World War II submariners.”—Michael D. Hull, Military Magazine “Reading of [Tang’s] career and of the men aboard her is one of the great reading experiences of my life.”—Broox Sledge, The Book World

This book was released on 2006-02-04 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Paper Back Cover) Captain Otway Burns and his ship Snap Dragon explores the legends, facts, and misguided information of Captain Otway Burns' life. As a native son of southeastern North Carolina he was a merchant sea Captain, highly successful War of 1812 Privateer, noted businessman, and an inventive ship builder.

If you enjoy good stories of Tall Ship Naval battles, or are intrigued with local legends, this book is for you.

Download or read book Under Blue Skies written by Agnes Houghton Banfield and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Under Blue Skies: And Other Stories Most people believe they have a right to existence, because they have a certain mission in the world - a particular work to do. This is true. Some solve life's problem in the kitchen, or on the street; others in the hovel, or in the mansion; and some upon the sea. Everywhere human beings toil for the right to live, and like the stars they move in certain order, and keep to one particular line of duty, and thus become fixed cogs in the great wheel of life. Not so with the author of this book. It is with much hesitancy that I undertake a sketch of her life and work, for her personality is so marked, her gifts so many and varied, her labors range over such wide fields, that it is difficult to follow her career, or to portray the character of one who has been lecturer, reader, and teacher, and, to crown all, possesses the spiritual gifts of clairvoyancy and healing that St. Paul speaks of in I. Corinthians. Unlike the proverbial "Jack of all trades, but master of none," she has been mistress in every capacity in which she has served. Agnes Houghton Banfield was born in Vermont. Do you ask when? Well, the birds of the Green Mountain State will tell you, for they surely sang about her cradle, and in the twilight hours hushed her to sleep with lullabies of perfect melody - melody that sank into her heart and reproduced itself in her voice, for never was heard a voice of greater natural beauty, or more musical intonation than hers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Under the Sunset Undoubtedly it was the work of Bret Harte, hold in action, high in color, and simple in motive, Which established an ideal of the Farthest West in literature. Europe, Where he is still better known than any other American writer, still clings to that idea]; it keeps the fancy of the English as well as the Germans, the Russians, and the French. But American art, to Which the West is bet ter known with its changes from the gold-seeking days to those of the settled industries, has refined upon that ideal. Something vastly more complex speaks to us from both the hither and the thither slopes of the Sierras. The plains are conscious of their mysticism; the Wild nature itself seeks a voice in the communion of savage man and savage beast. The old rollicking humor finds vent yet in temperament and incident, and Mr. Janvier's heroine suggests the.

Download or read book Half the Sky written by Nicholas D. Kristof and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2010-06-01 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A passionate call to arms against our era’s most pervasive human rights violation—the oppression of women and girls in the developing world. From the bestselling authors of Tightrope, two of our most fiercely moral voices With Pulitzer Prize winners Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn as our guides, we undertake an odyssey through Africa and Asia to meet the extraordinary women struggling there, among them a Cambodian teenager sold into sex slavery and an Ethiopian woman who suffered devastating injuries in childbirth. Drawing on the breadth of their combined reporting experience, Kristof and WuDunn depict our world with anger, sadness, clarity, and, ultimately, hope. They show how a little help can transform the lives of women and girls abroad. That Cambodian girl eventually escaped from her brothel and, with assistance from an aid group, built a thriving retail business that supports her family. The Ethiopian woman had her injuries repaired and in time became a surgeon. A Zimbabwean mother of five, counseled to return to school, earned her doctorate and became an expert on AIDS. Through these stories, Kristof and WuDunn help us see that the key to economic progress lies in unleashing women’s potential. They make clear how so many people have helped to do just that, and how we can each do our part. Throughout much of the world, the greatest unexploited economic resource is the female half of the population. Countries such as China have prospered precisely because they emancipated women and brought them into the formal economy. Unleashing that process globally is not only the right thing to do; it’s also the best strategy for fighting poverty. Deeply felt, pragmatic, and inspirational, Half the Sky is essential reading for every global citizen.
