Download or read book Warrior At Peace written by Ronald L. Chisté and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2009-09-28 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mighty Apache warrior, Geronimo, died and was buried as a prisoner of war in 1907, at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. For many years rumors existed about the desecration of his grave in 1917, and that the theft of his skull and leg bones was committed by a group of young army officers who had been classmates at Yale University. The recent discovery of an original letter written by one of these men describing the theft in detail lifted the story from rumor to reality. Chiste crafted this story in which Tom Lasino, who Chiste’ originally introduced in his award-winning terrorism thriller, Eagles Don’t Die, is contacted by former Vice President Randall and is asked to engage in a personal mission on his behalf regarding this Geronimo incident. Lasino, along with two of Geronimo’s grandchildren, devise and execute an action packed plan to liberate and repatriate Geronimo’s remains. Lasino’s and his compatriots’ adventure leads them from the Mescalero Indian reservation in New Mexico, to Fort Sill, Oklahoma, to Yale University, to New York’s Thousand Island region, to the Chesapeake Bay’s Eastern Shore, and finally to the headwaters of the Gila River in New Mexico where Geronimo wanted to be buried. In the course of Lasino’s mission he encounters murders, robberies, international conspiracy, and corrupt politicians. The conflicts between honor and dishonor, courage and cowardice, greed and selflessness tug at the characters throughout this mission. The adventure takes many twists and turns in which some of the most noble of characters turn out to be despicable. Though a novel, this story educates the reader about the strength of traditions, conviction, and pride among Native Americans. The true character of Geronimo, based on his own words, boldly jumps from each chapter.”

Download or read book Mr Ambassador written by Edward J. Perkins and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2012-12-13 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Apartheid South Africa was on fire around me.” So begins the memoir of Career Foreign Service Officer Edward J. Perkins, the first black United States ambassador to South Africa. In 1986, President Ronald Reagan gave him the unparalleled assignment: dismantle apartheid without violence. As he fulfilled that assignment, Perkins was scourged by the American press, despised by the Afrikaner government, hissed at by white South African citizens, and initially boycotted by black South African revolutionaries, including Archbishop Desmond Tutu. His advice to President-elect George H. W. Bush helped modify American policy and hasten the release of Nelson Mandela and others from prison. Perkins’s up-by-your-bootstraps life took him from a cotton farm in segregated Louisiana to the white elite Foreign Service, where he became the first black officer to ascend to the top position of director general. This is the story of how one man turned the page of history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world of transition, today's youth must take up new challenges, undreamed-of by past generations. But as in all perilous times, to face the challenge, one must have stable, tried and tested inner bearings and a correct inner disposition. The path of the warrior of peace is an ancient one. It is the implementation of teachings of wisdom, giving priority to the being and its choices, over "having" and appearances. Only by drinking from this source is it possible to work towards a new and better world, a world in which each person can find his place, a world capable of solidarity and common wealth, a world which notably begins with self-transformation. To learn to believe in oneself, in order to gradually go through each phase of one's inner path, with the successive unfolding of one's potential, is the only way to discover the freedom to choose and seize one's own destiny. Today's youth, like past youth, is always ready to play a role. However, we still need enthusiastic role-models like Perseus, the warrior of peace, to inspire souls and to nurture self-confidence.

A young man goes to war, thinking he is fighting for God's cause and serving his nation. He loses one leg and returns as a physical and psychological cripple.

Download or read book Robert Pickus Pacifist Warrior written by Robert Woito and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-11-30 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pacifist Warrior introduces Robert Pickus, his leadership role in the pacifist community (1951–2016), and his thoughtful work to constructively engage the United States in world politics. He called for leadership by the United States to move a conflict-filled world towards peace through non-military initiatives, designed to gain the reciprocation of allies and dedicated adversaries alike. Robert Pickus earned the title “Pacifist Warrior” because he not only believed pacifism in a nuclear age was a moral imperative, it was also a more effective strategy towards a world without war. Pickus’ career lasted from 1951 to 2016. As Director of the World Without War Council office in Berkeley, he engaged civic, labor, business, and religious organizations to work for a world without war. He worked at the juncture where advocates of war-as-a-last-resort met community peace advocates to develop non-military alternatives to war. His signature contribution was a compendium of American Peace Initiatives developed with other key leaders, including George Weigel, Harold Guetzkow, Sidney Hook and Ted Sorensen. During his tenure, the WWWC developed a strategy of American peace initiatives to get from here to a world without war. The ideas of reciprocation, universal participation and non-violent change apply to both arms control and disarmament as well as climate change.
