Book excerpt: The Second World War was the largest armed conflict in human history. It transformed lives, cultures, and civilizations. The men who served as riflemen, truck drivers, medics, radio operators, clerks, factory workers provided the means to defeat fascism through tireless effort and heroic sacrifice. Their stories come to light in Victory Through Valor: A Collection of World War II Memoirs, a new book from Reedy Press. Collected and edited by Dr. George Despotis, Donald E. Korte, and Matthew Lary, this substantial volume truly captures the essence of America s unsurpassed generation. Filled with interviews of more than 100 World War II veterans and their wives, Victory Through Valor recounts the experiences of the combat troops and support personnel, as well as those who remained behind on the home front. It includes depictions of Basic Training, the trip across the Atlantic, D-Day landings at Normandy, the fighting during the Bulge, the subsequent surrender by Germany in May of 1945, and myriad moments in between. Our World War II veterans are vanishing, and along with them goes the opportunity to understand their unparalleled commitment and courage. Victory Through Valor illuminates their story and shows readers how a generation led us through one of the most serious crises in the history of mankind, to one of the greatest triumphs in American history. The book is published with the cooperation and encouragement of the Gateway Chapter of The Veterans of the Battle of the Bulge in St. Louis, Missouri.

Book excerpt: An Italian SCHINDLER'S LIST, this is the inspirational story of Gino Bartali, who made the greatest comeback in Tour de France history and secretly aided the Italian Resistance during the Second World War. ROAD TO VALOUR is the inspiring, against-the-odds story of Gino Bartali, the cyclist who made the greatest comeback in Tour de France history and still holds the record for the longest gap between victories. Yet it was his actions during the Second World War, when he secretly aided the Resistance, rather than his remarkable exploits on a bike, that truly cemented his place in the hearts and minds of the Italian people. Based on nearly ten years of research, and including fascinating new interviews, this is the only book written that fully explores the scope of Bartali's wartime work. A breathtaking account of one man's unsung heroism and his resilience in the face of adversity, this is an epic tale of courage, comeback and redemption, and the untold story of one of the greatest athletes of the twentieth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We have all heard or read stories of someone surviving the unthinkable. We see before and after images and are amazed at their tenacity and will power. They may display unimaginable strength or speed. They are capable of doing things beyond what we believe to be normal ability. What's more, we know there are hundreds, if not thousands, of books from experts filled with clinical and/or medical advice providing insight as to how it could have happened. They describe how humans can display supernatural strength and courage in the face of ominous circumstances. Valor 2 Victory unites the victor and the how-they-did-it factor. Equally important, it chronicles what they really needed while finding their way to victory and the part you can play in helping them get there. Ms. Vivica is an author who endured a traumatic experience and discovered more than just survival skills. She found many people labored in an effort to find the right dialogue. She sought other survivors and questioned if their experience had been similar and much to her chagrin it had been. Valor 2 Victory was birthed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is true valor and how do grief, survival and battle fatigue affect soldiers? Literature and history show that valor's purpose is often less than daring, generous and noble. Through examples in literature and the impact of real combat, the author shows how it can change to personal pride, a badge of distinction, and a means to reputation; it has sparked fear of cowardice and generated degradation to overcome it; it has prodded soldiers to kill for killing's sake.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Valor and Victory, Vol. 10: The Age of Vindication; 1783-1824 In the eyes of Europe the entire principle underlying popular government was on trial and to an extent still is. It was regarded as a mischievous experiment from the point of view of monarchists; a dangerous one in the opin ion of many lovers of liberty. The new nation was not yet nationalized. It was a dissociated group of republics rather than itself a republic. The very feeling of its people had not become American. Even after the fine learning of the Fathers of the Constitution had evolved popular govern ment from a profound knowledge of the failures of all former republican systems, the two political parties which sprang into being were, respectively, British and French, not American.

Download or read book Unsun Valor A GI s Story of World War II written by Harrison, A. Cleveland and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2003 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thirty riveting months in the life of a common infantryman, one among the "citizen soldiers" who took the Allies to victory When drafted into the army in 1943, A. Cleveland Harrison was a reluctant eighteen-year-old Arkansas student sure that he would not make a good soldier. But inside thirty months he manfully bore arms and more. This book is his memoir about becoming a soldier, a common infantryman among the ranks of those who truly won the war. After the Allied victory in 1945, books by and about the major statesmen, generals, and heroes of World War II appeared regularly. Yet millions of American soldiers who helped achieve and secure victory slipped silently into civilian life, trying to forget the war and what they had done. Most remain unsung, for virtually none thought of themselves as exceptional. During the war ordinary soldiers had only done what they believed their country expected. Harrison's firsthand account is the full history of what happened to him in three units from 1943 to 1946, disclosing the sensibilities, the conflicting emotions, and the humor that coalesced within the naive draftee. He details the induction and basic training procedures, his student experiences in Army pre-engineering school, his infantry training and overseas combat, battle wounds and the complete medical pipeline of hospitalization and recovery, the waits in replacement depots, life in the Army of Occupation, and his discharge. Wrenched from college and denied the Army Specialized Training Program's promise of individual choice in assignment, students were thrust into the infantry. Harrison's memoir describes training in the Ninety-fourth Infantry Division in the U.S., their first combat holding action at Lorient, France, and the division's race to join Patton's Third Army, where Harrison's company was decimated and he was wounded while attacking the Siegfried Line. Reassigned to the U.S. Group Control Council, he had a unique opportunity to observe both the highest echelons in military government and the ordinary soldiers as Allied troops occupied Berlin. This veteran's memoir reveals all aspects of military life and sings of those valorous but ordinary soldiers who achieved the victory. A. Cleveland Harrison is an emeritus professor of theatre at Auburn University.
