Ken Fisher joined the army after World War II ended. He had always wanted to travel and see the world; however, post-war Germany is nothing like what he expected it to be. Instead of beholding beautiful landscapes and thankful citizens, Ken finds gritty despair and racism in a country still greatly in need of salvation. Amid the chaos, Ken inexplicably falls in love with a charming German girl named Elona. But love isnt simple after war, especially because Ken is an outsider. When Elona and Ken decide to get married, their application for a marriage license reveals dark, terrible secrets, bringing their love deeply into question. Eventually, Ken leaves Germany and love behind and becomes a Green Beret. He serves several tours and gains knowledge of unconventional warfare in South Vietnam, where he learns to be a true soldier. At this point, Kens military career could have ended. He could have continued teaching ROTC kids and living a peaceable, happy existence. Instead, he is sent to the Korean Demilitarized Zone, where he is given a final assignment that will test his beliefs and his promise to serve and protect. When faced with this assignment, Ken must make a life-changing choice between accepting army orders and maintaining country and upholding his own beliefs in right and wrong.

California Slim
Author: Andrew J. Bernstein
Publisher: FriesenPress
ISBN: 152553940X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 390
Book Description
There are literary reminiscences that reek of self-congratulation over the authors’ proximity to famous movers and shakers. Andy Bernstein’s California Slim aspires to far more than that—and achieves it. Andy was there, at the onset of the post-’50s revolution that, as a beat poet once put it, roared as it ripped the threadbare fabric of an age. Andy was no distant, casual observer during the tumultuous ’60s and ’70s; he was at the heart of the maelstrom, and writes about it with candor, humor, and originality. The story begins, for God’s sake, with Andy and his then unknown banjo teacher, a young Jerry Garcia, fingerpicking in a back room at Dana Morgan’s Music Studio in Palo Alto in 1962. A skinny six-foot-seven-inch Jewish kid (later known as “California Slim”), Andy divided his time between the usual adolescent interests and music, for which he would go on to provide a capital M by promoting and staging concerts throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. His Palo Alto nightclub, Homer’s Warehouse, across the street from the Stanford University campus, brought revolutionary musicians (among them, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee) to young sensibilities hungry for new driving rhythms and thought-provoking lyrics. The early chapters of this book set the stage for Andy’s eventual hooking-up with Willie Nelson and his Family—which felt, Andy said, “like reading a really good book that I couldn’t put down.” That feeling led directly, if gradually, to California Slim. And you, dear reader, won’t be able to put it down, either. —Tony Compagno

Cocaine, the Gulf Connection
Author: K. S. McDonald
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1467036773
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
Cocaine, the Gulf Connection is not about cocaine gangs and shoot outs in Mexican border towns, but rather it details the complex workings of a sophisticated smuggling operation that has gone unknown to the Mexican and U.S. governments for thirteen years. The success of the smuggling operation comes from a high degree of compartmentalization, which allows no chance for any one piece of the Company to betray another. Yes, the smugglers think of themselves as a Company. Retired FBI agent Nicholas Able is hired to consult in locating the source of Cocaine for what the FBI thanks is a large Houston Texas drug distribution network. The trail starts at a local bar off Galveston Bay and grows to a network that covers all of the Texas Gulf Coast and into Tampico Mexico. Mr. McDonald has produced a plot that is intricate and nonstop. The logic and detailed detective work descriptions are fascinating and an interagency battle for control of the case between the DEA and FBI adds to the drama. The book is not a Who done it, thats known from the outset. Cocaine, The Gulf Connection is about finding the bad guys and then bringing them down.
