No Sacrifice Too Great
Author: Gregory Fontenot
Publisher: University of Missouri Press
ISBN: 0826274897
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 630
Book Description
The U.S. 1st Infantry Division (1st ID), familiarly known as the Big Red One, adapted to dynamic battlefield conditions throughout the course of its deployment during World War II by innovating and altering behavior, including tactics, techniques, and procedures. Both the Division’s leaders and soldiers accomplished this by thinking critically about their experiences in combat and wasting little time in putting lessons learned to good use. Simply put, they learned on the job—in battle and after battle—and did so quickly. In telling the Division’s WWII story, which includes an extensive photographic essay featuring many previously unpublished images, Gregory Fontenot includes the stories of individual members of the Big Red One, from high-ranking officers to enlisted men fresh off the streets of Brooklyn, both during and after the conflict. Colonel Fontenot’s rare ability to combine expert analysis with compelling narrative history makes No Sacrifice Too Great an absorbing read for anyone interested in the military history of the United States.

Book Description
Since the election of 2008, patriotic Americans have come to realize just how incompetent our representatives are in Washington, D.C. History shows us that no matter how great the empire, it can be lost to greedy and corrupt incompetent politicians. If we the people do not restore honor and common sense, and return to our founding documents, this incredible country will be lost.

With refreshing honesty, Dan Fragoules discusses the federal government's out of control spending, our economic challenges, energy, foreign policy, immigration agendas, and the judicial branch. Fragoules also revisits the history of the Founding Fathers and shows how their ideas and philosophies are being challenged and even dismissed by the current crop of Washington politicians. In addition, Fragoules urges you to become involved with the political process and offers sample letters and petitions to help you take the first step toward reclaiming your country. It's time to rediscover the principles that made us who we are as a nation. Too Great a Nation is a rallying call for all Americans!

Too Good To Be True
Author: M T McGuire
Publisher: Hamgee University Press
ISBN: 190780935X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages :
Book Description
Readers of science fiction dystopia comedy books will (hopefully) enjoy the dry sarcastic humour and satire of this series. Despite the dystopian setting, and the odd bit of gallows humour, it's a light sci fi novel. When The Pan of Hamgee encounters some mudlarkers trying to land a box on the banks of the River Dang he is happy to help. Having accepted a share of the contents as a reward he cannot believe his luck. It contains one of the most expensive delicacies available in K’Barth, Goojan spiced sausage. If he can sell it, the sausage might spell the end of his troubles. On the other hand, knowing his luck, it could bring a whole load more. Written in British English with a dash of light swearing. Suitable for any reader of any age from 10 up - younger readers who have read all the Harry Potter books without any worries will be fine with the Hamgeean Misfit stories. Suggested cinema rating, PG. Too Good To Be True is the fourth book in the Hamgeen Misfit, dystopian humorous science fiction series. It is set in a contemporary dystopia, in a parallel reality but there is some futuristic technology. There is an overall story arc, but these stories are written to be stand alone and can be read in any order. **** INTERVIEW WITH THE AUTHOR Q – What made you write this series? A – If you want the honest answer I wrote it for me. As a reader, I love British satire and humor (or humour). I love wit; funny epic fantasy series like the Discworld novels and comedic sci fi like Douglas Adams. I like sff and speculative fiction, I like adventure and action and a gripping tale that zips along quickly, I like genre mash ups and I love an angsty dystopian world but the best science fiction and fantasy stories, for me, are funny. I am to write comedy in the tradition of all the great humorous British authors. I like to aim high. I wanted protagonists people could love and empathise with, mavericks, misfit characters, real people ... except they're not all people obviously, some of them are other alien (ish) species. This book is about misfit heroes and heroines winning the day, it’s about good versus evil even when the good guys are on different sides. It's science fiction fantasy action - it's dystopia but it's comedy, it's sci-fi but it's planet-based. You'll find all sorts of quirky characters and interesting alien species: from 6ft Swamp Things with antennae to cute furry creatures like the Blurpons, with their fluffy ears, big button eyes and penchant for extreme violence. Oh, and did I mention the 11mph barge chase? *** SIMILAR AUTHORS: Robert Rankin, C Gockel, Patty Jansen, JJ Greene, FJ Savage, Heide Goodey, EM Foner, Robert Asprin, the Stainless Steel Rat and Space Team series. KEYWORDS: Dystopian world, dystopia, parallel universe, young adult literature, best science fiction, light novel, comedic sci fi ebook, coming of age, dry sarcastic humour, gallows humor, adventure stories, humorous books, epic reading, British humour, ya fantasy, funny comedy books, comedic short science fiction stories Dystopian, dystopia, parallel universe, young adult literature, best science fiction, light novel, sci fi, coming of age, dry sarcastic humour, gallows humor, adventure stories, humorous books, epic reading, British humour, ya fantasy
