Book excerpt: The Second World War was the largest armed conflict in human history. It transformed lives, cultures, and civilizations. The men who served as riflemen, truck drivers, medics, radio operators, clerks, factory workers provided the means to defeat fascism through tireless effort and heroic sacrifice. Their stories come to light in Victory Through Valor: A Collection of World War II Memoirs, a new book from Reedy Press. Collected and edited by Dr. George Despotis, Donald E. Korte, and Matthew Lary, this substantial volume truly captures the essence of America s unsurpassed generation. Filled with interviews of more than 100 World War II veterans and their wives, Victory Through Valor recounts the experiences of the combat troops and support personnel, as well as those who remained behind on the home front. It includes depictions of Basic Training, the trip across the Atlantic, D-Day landings at Normandy, the fighting during the Bulge, the subsequent surrender by Germany in May of 1945, and myriad moments in between. Our World War II veterans are vanishing, and along with them goes the opportunity to understand their unparalleled commitment and courage. Victory Through Valor illuminates their story and shows readers how a generation led us through one of the most serious crises in the history of mankind, to one of the greatest triumphs in American history. The book is published with the cooperation and encouragement of the Gateway Chapter of The Veterans of the Battle of the Bulge in St. Louis, Missouri.

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.

Download or read book Road to Valour written by Aili McConnon and published by Phoenix. This book was released on 2013-06-20 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Italian SCHINDLER'S LIST, this is the inspirational story of Gino Bartali, who made the greatest comeback in Tour de France history and secretly aided the Italian Resistance during the Second World War. ROAD TO VALOUR is the inspiring, against-the-odds story of Gino Bartali, the cyclist who made the greatest comeback in Tour de France history and still holds the record for the longest gap between victories. Yet it was his actions during the Second World War, when he secretly aided the Resistance, rather than his remarkable exploits on a bike, that truly cemented his place in the hearts and minds of the Italian people. Based on nearly ten years of research, and including fascinating new interviews, this is the only book written that fully explores the scope of Bartali's wartime work. A breathtaking account of one man's unsung heroism and his resilience in the face of adversity, this is an epic tale of courage, comeback and redemption, and the untold story of one of the greatest athletes of the twentieth century.
Download or read book The Victory Season written by Robert Weintraub and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2013-04-02 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The triumphant story of baseball and America after World War II. In 1945 Major League Baseball had become a ghost of itself. Parks were half empty, the balls were made with fake rubber, and mediocre replacements roamed the fields, as hundreds of players, including the game's biggest stars, were serving abroad, devoted to unconditional Allied victory in World War II. But by the spring of 1946, the country was ready to heal. The war was finally over, and as America's fathers and brothers were coming home, so too were the sport's greats. Ted Williams, Stan Musial, and Joe DiMaggio returned with bats blazing, making the season a true classic that ended in a thrilling seven-game World Series between the Boston Red Sox and the St. Louis Cardinals. America also witnessed the beginning of a new era in baseball: it was a year of attendance records, the first year Yankee Stadium held night games, the last year the Green Monster wasn't green, and, most significant, Jackie Robinson's first year playing in the Brooklyn Dodgers' system. The Victory Season brings to vivid life these years of baseball and war, including the littleknown "World Series" that servicemen played in a captured Hitler Youth stadium in the fall of 1945. Robert Weintraub's extensive research and vibrant storytelling enliven the legendary season that embodies what we now think of as the game's golden era.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Valor and Victory, Vol. 10: The Age of Vindication; 1783-1824 In the eyes of Europe the entire principle underlying popular government was on trial and to an extent still is. It was regarded as a mischievous experiment from the point of view of monarchists; a dangerous one in the opin ion of many lovers of liberty. The new nation was not yet nationalized. It was a dissociated group of republics rather than itself a republic. The very feeling of its people had not become American. Even after the fine learning of the Fathers of the Constitution had evolved popular govern ment from a profound knowledge of the failures of all former republican systems, the two political parties which sprang into being were, respectively, British and French, not American.

Book excerpt: In late June 2005, media sources recounted the tragic story of nineteen U.S. special operations personnel who died at the hands of insurgent / terrorist leader Ahmad Shah- and the lone survivor of Shah's ambush-deep in the Hindu Kush Mountains of Afghanistan. The harrowing events of Operation Red Wings marked an important-yet widely misreported-chapter in the Global War on Terror, the full details of which the public burned to learn. In Victory Point, globally published author and photographer Ed Darack reveals the complete, as-yet untold, story of Operation Red Wings (often mis-referenced as "Operation Redwing"), and the follow-on mission, Operation Whalers. Together, these two U.S. Marine Corps operations (that in the case of Red Wings utilized Navy SEALs for its opening phase) unfurl not as a mission gone terribly wrong, but of a complex and difficult campaign that ultimately saw the demise of Ahmad Shan and his small army of barbarous fighters. Due to the valor, courage and commitment of the 2nd Battalion of the 3rd Marine Regiment in the summer of 2005, Afghanistan was able to hold free elections that Fall. Here is the inspiring true account of heroism, duty, and brotherhood between Marines fighting the War on Terror.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We have all heard or read stories of someone surviving the unthinkable. We see before and after images and are amazed at their tenacity and will power. They may display unimaginable strength or speed. They are capable of doing things beyond what we believe to be normal ability. What's more, we know there are hundreds, if not thousands, of books from experts filled with clinical and/or medical advice providing insight as to how it could have happened. They describe how humans can display supernatural strength and courage in the face of ominous circumstances. Valor 2 Victory unites the victor and the how-they-did-it factor. Equally important, it chronicles what they really needed while finding their way to victory and the part you can play in helping them get there. Ms. Vivica is an author who endured a traumatic experience and discovered more than just survival skills. She found many people labored in an effort to find the right dialogue. She sought other survivors and questioned if their experience had been similar and much to her chagrin it had been. Valor 2 Victory was birthed.
