Book Description
This story is not about Japan. It is about all people. It is about tragedy and fear. It is about courage. It is about love, and it is about growth. It is about doing the right thing. It is written in English, but the setting is Western Manchuria early in World War II. The pilots of the Japanese forces are facing their first combat against top notch Russian pilots. They apply their training but find that actual combat is not what the books described. They find comfort in the arms of the women that provide relief for a price. Manchuria + Mongolia. Russia + Japan. Buddhism + Christianity + Islam. Occupation + Oppression. The Worlds Oldest Profession + Sympathy and Humanity. Add them all together and you get: A compelling story of a young man thrown into a stark reality. He must grow quickly and learn the hard way. From the fear and danger to: The Tigers Den

Book Description
Stuart Lloyd's most important and entertaining undertaking yet -- to capture the colourful lives of 21 expats and foreigners who lived at a turbulent and transformational time of that country's history. A 100-year period full of seismic shifts as Asia went from colonial to post-colonial to being the epicentre of the 21st Century.You'll meet: A White Russian in swinging Shanghai in the 1920s, whose father supplied trucks to Chinese warlords. A Frenchwoman who lived in Indochina (Vietnam) who was evacuated as the French were defeated. A Czechoslovakian pair who were confronted by the Partition riots in India in the 1940s. An American GI landing on Okinawa during the kamikaze bombings and later escaped from Communist China. A German couple who lived it up in Bangkok after the war, and saw the Dutch exported from independent Indonesia. An American who was a truck driver and crocodile hunter in the Philippines. A British tea trading family caught up in a Tamil Tiger attack in Sri Lanka. An East End boy caught up in the horrors of building the Thai Burma Death Railway as a POW. A Christian missionary who witnessed political uprisings in the Philippines plus other adventures in Papua New Guinea, Burma and Vietnam. A British ambassador evacuated from Japan during the War, who had death threats during the Burmese junta. Plus many more.With dozens of amazing, graphic photographs from private albums. The spectrum of Tiger's Den is immense: chronologically, geographically, and experientially. From mercenaries, misfits and missionaries, to penniless panhandlers and ambitious ambassadors.It's like reading The Year of LIving Dangerously, The Quiet American, The Honourable Schoolboy, The Empire of the Sun, The Bridge on the River Kwai, Slumdog Millionaire, and several Somerset Maugham books. The difference is that these are the real people who saw and lived through the real events. They tell it as it was, in their own voice, so you can really feel their story and the amazing times they lived through.

Book Description
Hank Haney's candid, surprisingly insightful account of his tumultuous six-year journey with Tiger Woods, during which the supremely gifted golfer collected six major championships and rewrote golf history. Hank was one of very few people allowed behind the curtain and observed Tiger in nearly every circumstance. There's never been a book about Tiger that is as intimate and revealing--or as wise about what it takes to coach a star athlete. From 2004 to the spring of 2010, Hank Haney was Tiger Woods's coach, and Tiger was Haney's only client. In that period, Tiger won more than a third of the tournaments he entered and six of his fourteen major titles. Haney felt hugely honored to help Tiger with his swing, and he approached the job with intense absorption and attention to detail. Haney was with Tiger 110 days a year, spoke to him over 200 days a year, and stayed at Tiger's house up to 30 days a year--sometimes affording him more contact with Tiger than either the athlete's agent or caddy. Haney saw his student in nearly every circumstance: in the locker room; on the course; with his wife, Elin; and relaxing with friends. Haney was there through it all, observing how Tiger's public identity sometimes meshed awkwardly with the roles of husband and friend, and how the former child prodigy came to have a conflicted relationship with the game that made him famous.
