Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One by one the shots struck me in the face, right arm, right shoulder, chest, and neck. My body suddenly went limp. Blood began to gush from me. I fell to the cold, wet ground helpless, lying on my side. I felt like an animal that had been stalked and gunned down in the woods. Through a blurry eye I noticed that Devin, my attacker, had stepped around Mother so he could get a good look at me. I lay motionless on the ground, praying that he would think I was dead. He stared at me with his cold, blue eyes, satisfied that I was now dead. On January 5, 1986, fourteen-year-old Lisa Barnett and her family prepared for church as they normally would any other Sunday. As Lisa, her mother, and her brother drove to church, Devin, an older boy with a romantic interest in Lisa, tried to run them off of the road and ultimately shot Lisa and her mother in the parking lot of the Macedonia Baptist Church in East Texas. In the aftermath of this tragic event, Lisa's and her mother's lives hung in the balance. Through surgery and the power of prayer, Lisa and her mother managed to survive. In Blood-Stained Victory, author Lisa Barnett Pridgeon recounts her dark day, her emotional and physical struggles as she recovered, and the healing power of prayer and a loving family. As she overcomes the odds, you will get a true sense of the power of prayer and the glory of God.
Download or read book Blood on the Painted Mountain written by Ron Lock and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The slaughter at Hlobane was second only to that at Isandlwana two months earlier, which ravaged morale in the British Army. This was in part responsible for the highly questionable conduct of some of the officers when faced with the enemy at Hlobane, leading to the British rout at Devil's Pass. Without defeat at Hlobane, however, victory at Kambula might not have been possible: the warriors of the leading Zulu regiments, over-confident after their resounding success, were easily provoked into an ill-judged attack on the enemy camp at Kambula, and exhausted themselves before the British survivors of the previous day's battle set out in pursuit, leaving 1,000 Zulu dead on the Zunguin Plain.

Download or read book Blood on Their Hands written by Eric Weinberg and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2017-09-15 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A few short years after HIV first entered the world blood supply in the late 1970s and early 1980s, over half the hemophiliacs in the United States were infected with the virus. But this was far more than just an unforeseeable public health disaster. Negligent doctors, government regulators, and Big Pharma all had a hand in this devastating epidemic. Blood on Their Hands is an inspiring, firsthand account of the legal battles fought on behalf of hemophiliacs who were unwittingly infected with tainted blood. As part of the team behind the key class action litigation filed by the infected, young New Jersey lawyer Eric Weinberg was faced with a daunting task: to prove the negligence of a powerful, well-connected global industry worth billions. Weinberg and journalist Donna Shaw tell the dramatic story of how idealistic attorneys and their heroic, mortally-ill clients fought to achieve justice and prevent further infections. A stunning exposé of one of the American medical system’s most shameful debacles, Blood on Their Hands is a rousing reminder that, through perseverance, the victims of corporate greed can sometimes achieve great victory.

Download or read book Zulu Victory written by Ron Lock and published by Frontline Books. This book was released on 2015-11-19 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A densely detailed account of the 1879 Zulu defeat of the British . . . portrays a complex and interesting segment of British/African history.”—Library Journal The battle of Isandlwana—a great Zulu victory—was one of the worst defeats ever to befall a British Army. At noon on 22 January 1879, a British camp, garrisoned by over 1700 troops, was attacked and overwhelmed by 20,000 Zulu warriors. The defeat of the British, armed with the most modern weaponry of the day, caused disbelief and outrage throughout Queen Victoria's England. The obvious culprit for the blunder was Lieutenant General Lord Chelmsford, the defeated commander. Appearing to respond to the outcry, he ordered a court of inquiry. But there followed a carefully conducted cover-up in which Chelmsford found a scapegoat in the dead—most notably, in Colonel Anthony Durnford. Using source material ranging from the Royal Windsor Archives to the oral history passed down to the present Zulu inhabitants of Isandlwana, this gripping history exposes the full extent of the blunders of this famous battle and the scandal that followed. It also gives full credit to the masterful tactics of the 20,000 strong Zulu force and to Ntshingwayo kaMahole, for the way in which he comprehensively out-generalled Chelmsford. This is an illuminating account of one of the most embarrassing episodes in British military history and of a spectacular Zulu victory. The authors superbly weave the excitement of the battle, the British mistakes, the brilliant Zulu tactics and the shameful cover up into an exhilarating and tragic tale. “A must for anyone interested in the Zulu War. Highly recommended.”—British Army Review
Download or read book Blood on the Tracks written by Willson, S. Brian and published by PM Press. This book was released on 2011-08-01 with total page 749 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “We are not worth more, they are not worth less.” This is the mantra of S. Brian Willson and the theme that runs throughout his compelling psycho-historical memoir. Willson’s story begins in small-town, rural America, where he grew up as a “Commie-hating, baseball-loving Baptist,” moves through life-changing experiences in Viet Nam, Nicaragua and elsewhere, and culminates with his commitment to a localized, sustainable lifestyle. In telling his story, Willson provides numerous examples of the types of personal, risk-taking, nonviolent actions he and others have taken in attempts to educate and effect political change: tax refusal—which requires simplification of one’s lifestyle; fasting—done publicly in strategic political and/or therapeutic spiritual contexts; and obstruction tactics—strategically placing one’s body in the way of “business as usual.” It was such actions that thrust Brian Willson into the public eye in the mid-’80s, first as a participant in a high-profile, water-only “Veterans Fast for Life” against the Contra war being waged by his government in Nicaragua. Then, on a fateful day in September 1987, the world watched in horror as Willson was run over by a U.S. government munitions train during a nonviolent blocking action in which he expected to be removed from the tracks and arrested. Losing his legs only strengthened Willson’s identity with millions of unnamed victims of U.S. policy around the world. He provides details of his travels to countries in Latin America and the Middle East and bears witness to the harm done to poor people as well as to the environment by the steamroller of U.S. imperialism. These heart-rending accounts are offered side by side with inspirational stories of nonviolent struggle and the survival of resilient communities Willson’s expanding consciousness also uncovers injustices within his own country, including insights gained through his study and service within the U.S. criminal justice system and personal experiences addressing racial injustices. He discusses coming to terms with his identity as a Viet Nam veteran and the subsequent service he provides to others as director of a veterans outreach center in New England. He draws much inspiration from friends he encounters along the way as he finds himself continually drawn to the path leading to a simpler life that seeks to “do no harm.&rdquo Throughout his personal journey Willson struggles with the question, “Why was it so easy for me, a ’good’ man, to follow orders to travel 9,000 miles from home to participate in killing people who clearly were not a threat to me or any of my fellow citizens?” He eventually comes to the realization that the “American Way of Life” is AWOL from humanity, and that the only way to recover our humanity is by changing our consciousness, one individual at a time, while striving for collective cultural changes toward “less and local.” Thus, Willson offers up his personal story as a metaphorical map for anyone who feels the need to be liberated from the American Way of Life—a guidebook for anyone called by conscience to question continued obedience to vertical power structures while longing to reconnect with the human archetypes of cooperation, equity, mutual respect and empathy.

Download or read book Victory Through the Blood written by César Castellanos and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It is so important for us to be aware that the enemy fights with all his strength to ensure believers ignore the power of the blood of Jesus. He does this because he knows that Jesus' blood is God's most powerful weapon, and that it has defeated him forever. In a divine exchange, Jesus shed His blood to purchase our redemption. He has set us completely free in every area of our lives. Through His blood, we overcome the enemy. Pastor Castellanos clearly describes how we can make the redeeming work of the cross a reality in our daily lives. By combining spiritual teaching with real-life testimonies, stories and spiritual insights, he demonstrates how every believer can grasp the significance of the seven times Jesus shed His blood. Through this book, he arms the reader with the means and the determination to face the schemes of the enemy and come through victorious."--Provided by the publisher.
