Sinossi

WWII fighter pilots share stories of flying into battle from Berlin to Tokyo in Mustangs, Spitfires, Flying Fortresses and more. In Flying American Combat Aircraft of World War II, U.S. Air Force veterans recount thrilling tales that put readers in the cockpit. These personal remembrances of aerial combat offer vividly detailed depictions of fighting across Europe as well as in the Pacific.   The twenty-nine contributors also cover a wide range of America’s WWII-era combat aircraft, including the B-25 Mitchell, B-29 Superfortress, P-47 Thunderbolt, P-40 Kittyhawk, B-18 bomber, and many others. Their stories are enhanced by dozens of photographs of the planes and the pilots who flew them.

    Our government is in crisis, mired in bureaucracy and often unable to fix tough problems. This book provides an essential new model for transforming the system and getting things done. 
     
     
     
    COVID. Climate change. Refugee resettlement. Global supply chains. We're facing a new generation of complex problems, stretching across the public and private sectors. Historically we've looked to government for big solutions, but the reality is, the government we have now is a poor match for the problems we face. 
     
     
     
    We need a fresh, new approach. As William D. Eggers and Donald F. Kettl show in this indispensable book, we need a government of bridgebuilders—public managers and leaders who collaborate with partners, both inside and outside government, to get the job done. They manage horizontally instead of vertically, they see their role as connectors, and they identify which players have the assets needed to solve the problems at hand. 
     
     
     
    Each chapter examines one of the ten core principles of bridgebuilding and features practical tips and dynamic cases of how effective leaders have put each principle to work. Also included is a special section on creating a hundred-day bridgebuilding plan.

    "The Ugandan Tales" is set in Uganda and about the struggles of ordinary Africans against post independence African rulers that preach freedom and emancipation but have turned into oppressors.  This collection of poetry dives deep into topics of police brutality, social injustices, and oppression through the landscape of the tortured cities. Ordinary people seek to reassert their rights against an intransigent regime that is determined to keep them oppressed. The poems chronicle everyday struggles that are faced at the hands of fellow Africans masquerading as Pan Africanists. Through peaceful and non violent means, a new generation of people is now taking a stand against social, political and economic segregation.
