Download or read book Letters from Nat written by Nat Wright and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1945, Nat Wright boarded a bus to Parris Island. He was perhaps the most miniscule inductee the Corps had ever seen. He had never been further west of his suburban D.C. home than Glen Echo Amusement Park. Like so many 18-year-olds in the 1940s, he wanted to be a U.S. Marine to fight the enemy, to be a war hero. The atom bombs that devastated two major Japanese cities saved him from that fate. Instead, after Japan surrendered, he had an exciting journey through the lower 48 states, a Pacific Ocean voyage beyond his wildest dreams, weeks in exotic Hawaii and months of getting to know Japanese landscapes, architecture, customs and, most fascinating of all, local citizens, young and old. These letters home, written in a journalistic style amazingly descriptive for a youth, tell the tales of the most exciting times of his young life. He put the best possible spin on everything that happened to him and his mates, from cramped quarters in transit to long hours of nighttime guard duty and early morning K.P. to a terrifying barracks fire that destroyed everything he owned. He was witness to the horrors of the ultimate bomb during a walk through Nagasaki and found kindness in many of the Japanese people he came to know. He came home to a G.I. Bill-subsidized college education and an eventual career in radio and TV broadcasting in D.C. and, later, Philadelphia.

Download or read book The Liberation of Manila written by John A. Del Gallego and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2020-08-06 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the early months of World War II, Winston Churchill maneuvered to get the U.S. involved in the war to save his country from German invasion. Roosevelt, scheming to lure Hitler into a casus belli, ensnared Japan instead, resulting in the attack on Pearl Harbor and the Pacific War that followed. When the doomed U.S. garrison in the Philippines soon capitulated to the Japanese, the atrocities inflicted on the Filipino and American units that surrendered were portents for the inhabitants of Manila. The history chronicles the 1945 recapture of Manila largely from the perspective of the civilian population, which suffered horrific brutality from the Japanese, followed by destruction and heavy loss of life during the American assault. Individual stories are included of citizens caught in the crossfire between the tenacious Japanese defenders and American troops determined to seize the capital city while minimizing their own casualties, regardless of the cost in civilian lives. More than 175 photographs document the events described.

Download or read book Leap 4 0 African Perspectives on the Fourth Industrial Revolution written by Zamanzima Mazibuko-Makena and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2021-04-09 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leap 4.0: African Perspectives on the Fourth Industrial Revolution seeks to identify the challenges and opportunities the 4IR presents to South Africa and the rest of the African continent, especially to workers and marginalised sectors of society. Authors examine the prerequisites for the successful introduction of the 4IR, including infrastructure, skilled personnel and appropriate regulation. They underline the importance of inclusive innovation, with a deliberate objective to create net new jobs and reduce inequality. The 4IR is well established in many parts of the world, with technological advances driving profound social and economic change. However, for many developing countries, particularly countries in Africa, the 4IR may not offer the anticipated 'leap' forward. There is a danger that the continent may find itself dictated to by experiences that are not in tune with its social contexts.
