Book excerpt: "Destiny Ours is a wonderful story of faith, courage and survival and a welcome addition to the history of the Greatest Generation." -Senator Bob Dole. This is the story of Capt. William F. Duffy, first man to drop a bomb on Japan in WWII from a B-29, later missing in action over Singapore. Before Duffy passed away - October 18, 1991 - his son made a promise to write his story. William, Jr. and his wife, Jan, traveled to Malaysia in July 1997 and spent six weeks retracing his father's footsteps, located the crash site of the B-29, gathered scraps of the wreckage, and visited with Malays who were present that fateful morning of January 11, 1945. Spanning seven years and countless hours of research, writing, and review, Duffy's son expanded his father's diary of his 8 month, 600 mile trek barefoot through the jungles of Malaya three degrees off the equator. Capt. Duffy battled thick jungle, swamps, swollen rivers, monsoon rains, jungle leeches, disease, death, the Chinese communist guerrillas, and the struggle to stay alive and out of the grasp of the Japanese enemy. Fulfilling his promise to his wife, Peggy: "If they tell you I'm missing or dead don't believe it, I'm coming back!"

Download or read book God Churchill written by Jonathan Sandys and published by NavPress. This book was released on 2015-10-01 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Winston Churchill was a boy of sixteen, he already had a vision for his purpose in life. “This country will be subjected somehow to a tremendous invasion . . . I shall be in command of the defences of London . . . it will fall to me to save the Capital, to save the Empire.” It was a most unlikely prediction. Perceived as a failure for much of his life, Churchill was the last person anyone would have expected to rise to national prominence as prime minister and influence the fate of the world during World War II. But Churchill persevered, on a mission to achieve his purpose. God and Churchill tells the remarkable story of how one man, armed with belief in his divine destiny, embarked on a course to save Christian civilization when Adolf Hitler and the forces of evil stood opposed. It traces the personal, political, and spiritual path of one of history’s greatest leaders and offers hope for our own violent and troubled times. More than a spiritual biography, God and Churchill is also a deeply personal quest. Written by Jonathan Sandys (Churchill’s great-grandson) and former White House staffer Wallace Henley, God and Churchill explores Sandys’ intense search to discover his great-grandfather—and how it changed his own destiny forever.
Download or read book This Light of Ours written by Leslie G. Kelen and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2023-08-16 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Light of Ours: Activist Photographers of the Civil Rights Movement is a paradigm-shifting publication that presents the Civil Rights Movement through the work of nine photographers who participated in the movement as activists with SNCC, SCLC, and CORE. Unlike images produced by photojournalists, who covered breaking news events, these photographers lived within the movement—primarily within the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) framework—and documented its activities by focusing on the student activists and local people who together made it happen. The core of the book is a selection of 150 black-and-white photographs, representing the work of photographers Bob Adelman, George Ballis, Bob Fitch, Bob Fletcher, Matt Herron, David Prince, Herbert Randall, Maria Varela, and Tamio Wakayama. Images are grouped around four movement themes and convey SNCC's organizing strategies, resolve in the face of violence, impact on local and national politics, and influence on the nation's consciousness. The photographs and texts of This Light of Ours remind us that the movement was a battleground, that the battle was successfully fought by thousands of “ordinary” Americans among whom were the nation's courageous youth, and that the movement's moral vision and impact continue to shape our lives.

Download or read book Venetia written by Benjamin Disraeli and published by IndyPublish.com. This book was released on 1871 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The beauty of the young Venetia was not the hereditary gift of her beautiful mother. It was not from Lady Annabel that Venetia Herbert had derived those seraphic locks that fell over her shoulders and down her neck in golden streams, nor that clear grey eye even, whose childish glance might perplex the gaze of manhood, nor that little aquiline nose, that gave a haughty expression to a countenance that had never yet dreamed of pride, nor that radiant complexion, that dazzled with its brilliancy, like some winged minister of Raffael or Correggio. The peasants that passed the lady and her daughter in their walks, and who blessed her as they passed, for all her grace and goodness, often marveled why so fair a mother and so fair a child should be so dissimilar, that one indeed might be compared to a starry night, and the other to a sunny day.
