Download or read book Train to Nowhere written by Anita Leslie and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-08-24 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ONE OF HAY FESTIVAL'S 100 BEST BOOKS WRITTEN BY WOMEN IN THE LAST 100 YEARS. 'The most gripping piece of war reportage I have ever read. What a writer! Her observations, mixed with dry humour and compassion, place her at the heart of the conflict and somehow apart from it, as a good historian should be. Remarkable.' Joanna Lumley Train to Nowhere is a memoir of war seen through the sardonic eyes of Anita Leslie, a funny and vivacious young woman who reports on her experiences with a dry humour, finding the absurd alongside the tragic. Daughter of a Baronet and first cousin once removed to Winston Churchill, Lelsie joined the Mechanized Transport Corps as a fully trained mechanic and ambulance driver during World War II, serving in Libya, Syria, Palestine, Italy, France and Germany. Ahead of her time, Anita bemoans 'first-rate women subordinate to second-rate men', and, as the British Army forbade women from serving at the front, joined the Free French Forces in order to do what she felt was her duty. Writing letters in Hitler's recently vacated office and marching in the Victory parade contrast with observations of seeing friends murdered and a mother avenging her son by coldly shooting a prisoner of war. Unflinching and unsentimental, Train to Nowhere is a memoir of Anita's war, one that, long after it was written, remains poignant and relevant.

Download or read book Yesterday s Train to Nowhere written by Krishna Rau and published by Inkfeathers Publishing. This book was released on 2021-10-15 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a compilation of seventeen unique 'feel good' short stories inspired by real-life incidents that reflect the inimitable yet enchanting adventures of a young doctor newly commissioned into the medical corps of the Indian Army and posted to a remote military cantonment in the Northeast of the country four decades ago. While imparting medical aid, advice and relief to the soldiers and their families is the essence of his newfound life, his experiences and interactions while on duty make for fun and often illuminating stories. This narrative is also a testimony to the intricacies of army life and its culture, the ethos and its spirit and celebrates in full measure the honourable life lived and the camaraderie enjoyed by the men and women in uniform. Many of the tales have joyful endings, a few culminate in tears but nonetheless, they reveal the soul of those bygone days of youthful exuberance and the carefree life in olive - green. This is just the kind of book that will appeal to the discerning reader seeking a large measure of humour, cheer and optimism in these difficult times. Proceeds from this book will fund the education of deserving medical students across India.
Download or read book Nowhere s Child written by Kari Rosvall and published by Hachette Books Ireland. This book was released on 2015-04-02 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'This is a beautifully written story. Of healing and love - and pain. Reading this book is like sitting in front of Kari, listening to her opening her heart to you' Irish Times Kari Rosvall's early life was shrouded in mystery until, at age 64, she received a letter through the post. In it was a photograph of herself as a young baby - the only one she had ever seen. This was the first step towards her discovery of the dark secret of her conception. Kari soon learned that she was a Lebensborn child, part of Hitler's 'Spring of Life' programme, which encouraged Nazi soldiers to have children with Scandinavian women in order to create an Aryan race. And so began a journey back to her roots: to Norway, where she was taken from her mother and sent to Germany in a crate to join the other Lebensborn children, and to post-war Germany and her eventual rescue by the Red Cross from an attic. Nowhere's Child is a remarkable story of reconciliation and of forging new beginnings from a dark past. Ultimately, for this woman who set up a new life in Ireland, it is the life-affirming account of what it really means to find a place called home.

Book excerpt: Hopping a freight in the St. Louis rail yards, Ted Conover0́4winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award0́4embarks on his dream trip, traveling the rails with "the knights of the road." Equipped with rummage store clothing, a bedroll, and his notebooks, Conover immerses himself in the peculiar culture of the hobo, where handshakes and intoductions are foreign, but where everyone knows where the Sally (Salvation Army) and the Willy (Goodwill) are. Along the way he encounters unexpected charity (a former cop goes out of his way to offer Conover a dollar) and indignities (what do you do when there are no public bathrooms?) and learns how to survive on the road.But above all, Conover gets to know the men and women who, for one reason or another, live this life. There's Lonny, who accepts that there are some towns he can't enter before dark because he's black, and Pistol Pete, a cowboy who claims his son is a doctor and his daughter a ballerina, and Sheba Sheila Sheils, who's built herself a house out of old tires. By turns resourceful and desperate, generous and mistrusting, independent and communal, philosophical and profoundly cynical, the tramps Conover meets show him a segment of humanity outside society, neither wholly romantic nor wholly tragic, and very much like the rest of us.
