Download or read book Twenty Three Minutes to Eternity written by James L. Noles and published by University of Alabama Press. This book was released on 2004-02-23 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A long-overdue history of America's "forgotten flattop." On November 24, 1943, a Japanese torpedo plunged into the starboard side of the American escort carrier USS Liscome Bay. The torpedo struck the thin-skinned carrier in the worst possible place the bomb storage area. The resulting explosion could be seen 16 miles away, literally ripping the Liscome Bay in half and killing 644 of her crew. In terms of lives lost, it was the costliest carrier sinking in United States naval history. Liscome Bay's loss came on her first combat operation: the American invasion of the Gilbert Islands. Despite her short career, she touched a number of remarkable and famous lives. Doris Miller, the first black American sailor to win the Navy Cross, lost his life, as did Rear Admiral Henry Mullinax, one of the Navy's first "air admirals." John Crommelin was the senior officer to survive the sinking. Later in his career, Crommelin, a decorated naval aviator himself, sparked the famous Revolt of the Admirals, which helped save the role of naval aviation in America's Cold War military. James Noles's account of the Liscome Bay and those who served aboard her is based on interviews with the ship's survivors and an unpublished memoir that the ship's pay officer made available to the author. This readable, compelling book pays homage to the crew by telling their story of experience and sacrifice. To follow Jim Noles on Twitter, access his stream here: http://www.twitter.com/mightyby

East German teacher Rebecca Hoffmann discovers she’s been spied on by the Stasi for years and commits an impulsive act that will affect her family for the rest of their lives. . . .

Download or read book Landing on the Edge of Eternity written by Robert Kershaw and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-11-06 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early in 1944, German commander Field Marshal Erwin Rommel took a look at the sloping sands and announced "They will come here!” He was referring to "Omaha Beach”. The beach was then transformed into three miles of lethal, bunker-protected arcs of fire, with seaside chalets converted into concrete strongpoints, with layers of barbed wire and mines. When Company A of the US 116th Regiment landed on Omaha Beach in D-Day’s first wave on 6th June 1944, it lost 96% of its effective strength. This was the beginning of the historic day that Landing on the Edge of Eternity narrates hour by hour—midnight to midnight—tracking German and American soldiers fighting across the beachhead. The Wehrmacht thought they had bludgeoned the Americans into submission yet by mid-afternoon, the American troops were ashore. Why were the casualties so grim, and how could the Germans have failed? Juxtaposing the American experience—pinned down, swamped by a rising tide, facing young Wehrmacht soldiers fighting desperately for their lives, Kershaw draws on eyewitness accounts, memories, letters, and post-combat reports to expose the true horrors of Omaha Beach. Landing on the Edge of Eternity is a dramatic historical ride through an amphibious landing that looked as though it might never succeed.

Download or read book Realms Of Forgotten Worlds written by Albert Taylor and published by Albert Taylor. This book was released on 2017-06-26 with total page 1388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introducing a fabulous sci-fi adventure that will take your reading experience to a whole other level. Author Albert Taylor puts together a super complex adventure where you as the reader decide on how the story develops. Sounds too good to be true; well it’s here and packed with 71 different ways to make or break your story. It’s your story so you decide. The author Albert Taylor has been inspired by sci-fi, even before he could even walk, so this is the masterpiece he has been yearning to create; for a very, very long time. Ever since he was a child he has dreamed of creating his own style of science fiction, and finally it has become a possibility. Much more than just a simple book, the author has packed it with another dream; the dream of converting a simple book into something the reader could take and modify to his or her own desire! If you never liked the end of your favorite story, well here you actually have the option of changing that. You can end the story as tragically or heroically as you want to. You can run or hide, or just confront the multitudes of challenges that will try and end your story.Basically, if you are accustomed to the author leading you by the hand throughout the story to the very end, you will find that it’s not going to happen here. Consider that style to be kindergarten, for readers who depend on someone else telling them that there is no other way to go. Here you will have to come up with your own plan of survival, or face the consequences for reckless decisions. In this story the concept of parallel worlds is looked at in a more drastic, real life type of way. You’re pretty much faced with the big question of, what would I do if I discovered a parallel world. A million things probably come to mind, along with the big question of how to get back home. That’s the story in the nutshell, and you can go many ways, and even end up in some places where you would like to hang out a bit more. You can go that route, but you may find that it’s not at all that easy since your very presence has moved entire worlds! Your presence may have altered a bit more than you may have imagined, but leave that to book II, which is in reality your goal. If you survive and reach book II, then you have successfully reconstructed something compatible to the original story. You may want to get there another way though, which is not at all bad, and you may even be shocked to find out that there was a much better way to get to the end.

Download or read book Liebe Mutti written by Jerzy Pindera and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 2004 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liebe Mutti is a true story of Jerzy Pindera, a Polish Catholic reserve officer in Sachsenhausen, one of the first concentration camps built to hold political prisoners, located just outside Berlin. This memoir is an insightful observation of the complexities of concentration camp life and society. Pindera, who arrived at the camp condemned to being worked to death, gradually rose to a position of prominence in the camp structure. During his five years of incarceration at Sachsenhausen, Pindera wrote powerfully about his experiences in a series of "fragments," each of which recalled specific aspects and events of his internment. Using those "fragments," as well as the transcription of extensive interviews, and letters he wrote to his mother while imprisoned, editor Lynne Taylor has woven together a compelling story of life in Sachsenhausen.

Download or read book The Oakdale Affair By Edgar Rice Burroughs written by Edgar Rice Burroughs and published by BEYOND BOOKS HUB. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The house on the hill showed lights only upon the first floor-in the spacious reception hall, the dining room, and those more or less mysterious purlieus thereof from which emanate disagreeable odors and agreeable foods. From behind a low bush across the wide lawn a pair of eyes transferred to an alert brain these simple perceptions from which the brain deduced with Sherlockian accuracy and Raffleian purpose that the family of the president of The First National Bank of-Oh, let's call it Oakdale-was at dinner, that the servants were below stairs and the second floor deserted. The owner of the eyes had but recently descended from the quarters of the chauffeur above the garage which he had entered as a thief in the night and quitted apparelled in a perfectly good suit of clothes belonging to the gentlemanly chauffeur and a soft, checked cap which was now pulled well down over a pair of large brown eyes in which a rather strained expression might have suggested to an alienist a certain neophytism which even the stern set of well shaped lips could not effectually belie. Apparently this was a youth steeling himself against a natural repugnance to the dangerous profession he had espoused; and when, a moment later, he stepped out into the moonlight and crossed the lawn toward the house, the slender, graceful lines which the ill-fitting clothes could not entirely conceal carried the conviction of youth if not of innocence.
