Book Description
A poignant story of faith, family, and country that reveals the courage it takes to try, succeed, and live to tell about life's often-improbable journey. --Linda Lingle Governor of Hawaii (2002-2010) The inspirational story of a young girl's journey from the family farm to a seat at the table with the most powerful civilian and military men in the world. Raised on the family farm in Central Minnesota, Denise Jelinski-Hall attended a one-room country school through the fifth grade and never dreamed of opportunities beyond her rural community. After graduating from high school, she took an assembly-line job as a seamstress, then became a teller at the local bank. One day, a chance observation by a member of the Minnesota Army National Guard changed her life forever: "I see so much more potential in you, Denise. Why don't you join the Air Force and get out of this town?" Over the next three decades, Denise rose through the ranks, ultimately serving as the first woman to be the Senior Enlisted Advisor to the chief of the National Bureau, a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS). In this position, she became the first woman to serve as a Senior Enlisted Advisor to a member of the JCS--the highest position ever achieved by an enlisted woman in the history of the US military. Denise's memoir demonstrates what one person can achieve with a strong work ethic and a desire to serve. It is a timeless American story of success, determination, perseverance, and faith. This story is an inspiration to those in the military. Denise is a role model for leadership in the corporate world and an example of achievement to those looking for self-improvement. --Sergeant Major of the Army Kenneth O. Preston United States Army (ret.)

Book Description

Book Description
Perversion of the Pentagon Papers Trial By: David R. Nissen For the first time, former federal prosecutor, David Nissen, reveals the true story behind the Pentagon Paper Trial. A United States District Court judge, obsessed with obtaining higher public office was assigned to preside over the criminal trial. The judge was convinced that any conviction of the defendants would be overturned on appeal and would leave a mark on his record that could disqualify him for a higher position. To avoid this, he decided to prevent the jury from returning a guilty verdict and disclosed his plan to some of his confidants. Perversion of the Pentagon Papers Trial recounts the political backdrop against which the original crimes were committed then takes readers into the courtroom for a virtual front row seat throughout the trial. It chronicles the judge’s capitulation to the defendants’ demands, discloses the fictitious defenses he fabricated and his collaboration with the defense to place the government on trial by groundless “investigations”. By bringing the facts to light, Nissen reveals the court’s sabotage of the trial and exposes the injustice done in this notable court case.

Book Description
While the role of the African American in American history has been written about extensively, it is often difficult to locate the wealth of material that has been published. African-Americans in Defense of the Nation builds on a long list of early bibliographies concerning the subject, bringing together a broad spectrum of titles related to the African-American participation in America's wars. It covers both military exploits—as African Americans have been involved in every American conflict since the Revolution—and their participation in the homefront support.
