Book Description
The tale of Tottenham Hotspur's extraordinary run to the 2019 Champions League Final in Madrid. Authors Alex Fynn and Martin Cloake examine how Spurs confounded all predictions to enjoy their most successful ever CL campaign--and what it means for the future. They explain why a certain style of football and competing in Europe are central to the club's identity, and look at how manager Mauricio Pochettino drew on these traditions to create a very modern success story. Using match reports from national newspapers to provide the narrative thread, Fynn and Cloake draw on their backgrounds in football business and politics to explain why this campaign so fired the imagination--in a season with no signings, played mostly without a home stadium. With a rich cast of characters, insight from leading football figures and locations ranging from Eindhoven to Madrid via Barcelona and Dortmund--and one emotional night in Amsterdam--One Step from Glory tells the story of a football odyssey.

Two Steps from Glory
Author: Welton I. Taylor
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780983867715
Category : African Americans
Languages : en
Pages : 437
Book Description
When 2nd Lieutenant Welton I. Taylor, a lanky kid from the South Side of Chicago with a genius-level I.Q. and a passion for flying, deployed to the South Pacific with the all-black 93rd Infantry Division in 1943, he expected to utilize his flying skills and Field Artillery training in the service of the country he loved. Little did he know that the army that had painstakingly trained him really didn't want him to fight, or that the Jim Crow laws that had haunted his life at home would follow him all the way to Guadalcanal. Two Steps from Glory is the eye-opening and inspiring story of how a young black pilot outsmarted the racist machinations of the segregated U.S. Army, out-maneuvered the Japanese Army, and dodged the Grim Reaper on no less than eight occasions during World War II -- all while flying a tiny, fabric-covered airplane with not even a radio, much less a gun, on board. Professors and students of 20th Century American History, African-American Studies, Military History, and Civil Rights will find Two Steps from Glory to be much more than a good story, well told, however. A veritable history lesson in a box, Two Steps from Glory uses it Foreword and Afterword to provide a succinct overview of two hundred years of African American military history, chronicling Blacks' participation in every war from the War of Independence to the war in Afghanistan and proving that the civil rights movement started long before Rosa Parks sat down on a Montgomery, Alabama, bus. Lieutenant Taylor's saga falls neatly into this wider historical context, bringing a rich but forgotten part of American history alive in entertaining personal detail. Two Steps from Glory will be a valuable addition to any high school or college library and curriculum and an engaging read for adults of all ages.

For two weeks she would "act" as Bram's wife so the determined wanna-be-groom could learn the husband ropes and lasso himself a real bride. Glory herself had no intention of ever getting married. As a marriage counselor, she was only in this ruse for its research value—certainly not because she found the blue-eyed, blue-collar Bram husband material. And although she thought she'd conveyed this loud and clear, she never counted on Bram's love of a challenge!

My purpose in writing this book is to draw the attention of the Christian community to what is happening to the values of the church, how they are being compromised. And how through time, what was once its core values and the central focus of its mission has gradually shifted until many of its original precepts have been lost. It is my hope that through making the church aware of its condition it will awake and once more embrace the teachings of Christ and the scriptures.
