MacArthur's Escape: John "Wild Man" Bulkeley and the Rescue of an American Hero
Author: George W. Smith
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781616737511
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
In the dark days after the attack on Pearl Harbor, a unique bond developed between Lieutenant John Bulkeley and larger-than-life General Douglas MacArthur. "Wild Man" Bulkeley's small fleet of PT boats were, after all, virtually the only force capable of carrying out offensive action against the overwhelming Japanese attack. This unlikely relationship forged in the midst of catastrophe culminated in one of the most thrilling moments of World War II - the escape from Corregidor related in this powerful book. MacArthur's Escape recreates the drama and danger of March 12, 1942 when, under cover of darkness, four PT boats under Bulkeley's command slipped out of Manila Bay to run the Japanese blockade on a harrowing two-day, 600-mile trip to Mindanao - where long range bombers waited to carry the general to Australia to begin the long hard road back to the Philippines.

Languages : en
Pages : 313
Book Description
In 1876 Heinrich Schliemann stunned the world with his announcement that he had discovered the tomb of Agamemnon in Mycenae, Greece. My grandfather, a refugee from Cyprus worked for Schliemann. Among the dignitaries from all countries that flocked to the site to examine Schliemann’s discovery, my grandfather alone refuted Schliemann’s claim. The locals in the village were incensed, ready to lynch my grandfather, who was forced to flee the country. In America my grandfather engaged in a number of successful small businesses, always dreaming of returning to Cyprus. It never happened. Ultimately, he wound up in Indiana with my father, who was the town physician. In Indiana my grandfather became a buffer between myself, a dark skinned anomaly in a community of bullying, blond Germanic rednecks. Without my grandfather to lead me to and from school each day, I would not have made it through kindergarten. This security ended with the death of my grandfather. Fate, however, intervened with the arrival in town of the Twitam family and a Cyprus connection that would lead me back to my grandfather’s homeland and the true story of the man behind the golden mask.

Book Description
An encrypted SOS carved on a boulder alarms the Defense Department. The DNA in a two-thousand-year-old tooth identifies the mason as British SAS Captain King, who disappeared from Old Jerusalem, carrying the mystical spear tip that pierced Jesuss side at the Crucifixion. Is it responsible for the time ripples threatening the twenty-first century? Green Beret Robert Lake time-transports to first-century England with an unconventional commando team.

Lake organizes a fight to the death against a cannibalistic druid army and the possessed Roman Ninth Legion, both commanded by the demonic Daniel, who carries the spear tip in battle. The novel explores several themes. May you kill a wounded enemy? May orders be disobeyed? Are US citizens bound by the constitution before it was enacted? Do parallel realms exist? Is the universe a field of consciousness? What is span of control? What is real? The reader may ponder these ideas or just hang on tightly for a ripping adventure story.
