Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I was told during the 09/10 season that two things were virtually impossible.

What the Battle of the Bulge had much in common with the Predator quarterfinals. The story of fan who momentarily took the violence out of hockey. The role the classic film, Napoleon Dynamite, played in the 08/09 playoffs. The incredible sacrifice of 1yr old Callum Birdzell during the Hawks quest for the Cup (or why baby needs a new pair of jammies.) What the Darryl brothers from the Bob Newhart show had to do with the Hawks greatest comeback ever. Why the Hawks switched to Queen Pawn Openings-a walk on the wild side! You know youre hooked by the larceny laced mayhem on the ice when you and your 14 yr old daughter look knowingly into each others eyes and say, That Columbus game is going to be a big one! How Capocalypse can be explained by considering James Brown, Zorba the Greek and Mr. Bo Jangles. Why fans in Chicago are asking the fans in The City of Brotherly Love, can we still be friends?

Download or read book Drums In The Distance written by Joe Mulhall and published by Icon Books. This book was released on 2021-07-08 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Mulhall watches the extreme right revival from the inside - as an anti-fascist infiltrator criss-crossing the global networks of modern fascism - but he brings a deep analytical focus. By the end of it we understand one thing: the threat of a second fascist era is real.' Paul Mason, author of Postcapitalism 'An urgent missive from the global frontlines of the fight against fascism.' Nima Elbagir, CNN Senior International Correspondent A terrifying and timely look at the spread of far-right movements across the globe. Joe Mulhall knows what it's like to stare fascism in the face. For a decade, often undercover at significant personal risk, he has investigated hate groups. He infiltrated a US white supremacist militia, set up a fake Ku Klux Klan branch, has been on countless street marches with violent far-right groups across Europe, and got inside some of the most important 'alt-right' meetings ever held. Brazil, India and the US are still in thrall to authoritarian populism, and far-right views have become steadily normalised in mainstream politics. Mulhall's dramatic experiences on the front line of anti-fascist activism, coupled with his academic research, clearly explain the roots of both elected and non-elected far-right movements across the globe. Above all, he concludes, the far right should not be dehumanised - they are normal people, but with dangerous beliefs that can be defeated. 'Joe has had a unique view of the far right over the past decade as it transformed from a marginal subculture into one of the defining political currents of our time. He understands how these groups think and operate, and is perfectly placed to guide readers through this disturbing but vital story.' Daniel Trilling, journalist and author of Lights In The Distance: Exile and Refuge at the Borders of Europe 'Few, if any, are better placed to write a book of this breadth and scale than Joe Mulhall.' Mark Townsend, Home Affairs editor of the Observer

Download or read book The Sound of Distant Drums written by Chuck Knox and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Heroes of this book are the veterans and their families whose stories span 140+ years in protecting our country. Their stories are history, filled with the mundane events of service life, the fear of combat, the horror that front line infantrymen faced, the tension that air crews and pilots faced, the vastness of the Pacific that confronted sailors, the strain on the mind and bodies of Prisoners of War, and humor viewed through the eyes of the veterans. As you read their stories listen to the voices of these veterans and picture in your mind an aging color guard from a local veteran's post; visualize them marching into the mist, to the sound of distant drums and the muted bugle's call, along with the men and women who have gone before. There are no large marble memorials to these individual veterans; their monument is a free United States. I am left with one thought about the experience of speaking with these people; God bless the United States of America and all who serve her.

Download or read book The Distant Drum written by F.E. Noakes and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2010-07-12 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “We waited in silence, each man occupied with his own secret thoughts and no doubt wrestling with his own secret fears. I think that half-hour was probably the worst I have ever spent. Slowly and inexorably the minutes passed, second by second, and the time approached which might be the end of everything for me. All my efforts to screw up my courage, all my fatalistic self-assurances that what is to be, will be, became more and more useless, and hope seemed to ooze away with every second...” Frederick Noakes, 1917. Guardsman Frederick Noakes fought on the Western Front for the last 18 months of the Great War. In 1934, he wanted to write up his ‘adventures’ while his memory was still ‘undimmed’, using the letters he wrote home during 1917–1919 as the basis for the memoir. His eloquent text, with his views on politics, morale and the trenches, moved friends to persuade Noakes to publish the work privately in 1952. Fen Noakes did not consider himself a hero, but the dignity with which he conducted himself under the most dreadful conditions suggest otherwise. His articulate and effective prose gives a voice to the average soldier in the trenches. Professor Peter Simkins provides an introduction to this new edition, which also includes a foreword by Carole Noakes, niece of the author.
