  Ten essays on how reading and meaningfully engaging with literature can help us live better, more purposeful lives. 
  How do we live fully? 
  How do we live successfully? 
  Adrift in an anchorless world, we often worry about where we are heading. What meaning can we hope to find our modern, secular life? The answer, Ben Hutchinson explains, can be found by looking to writers and thinkers to help us live more purposefully, more mindfully – more fully. 
  Interweaving his own (mis-)adventures with those of authors such as T.S. Eliot, Virginia Woolf, Marcel Proust and Joan Didion, On Purpose proposes ten ways in which reading and writing encourage us to ask difficult questions, project our minds into the past and future, and see ourselves and others differently. 
  Engaging, uplifting and aphoristic, this book is for anyone who has lost their sense of direction or wishes to radically transform the way they live. 
  Ben Hutchinson's On Purpose is a non-fiction collection of essays that combines philosophy, ethics, and literary criticism to explore the concept of happiness. This top-rated book is a testament to the power of literature in personal growth and self-help. 
  For fans of Mary Beard (Confronting the Classics), Gary Gutting (Talking God), Terry Eagleton (Ideology), Nedra Glover Tawwab (Set Boundaries, Find Peace), and Catherine Belsey (A Future for Criticism).

  Adam is caught fooling around with his girlfriend's best friend and has to make a choice. His girlfriend is willing to forgive him if he follows her every order and command. He agrees willingly but is in for a ride he would never ever have imagined. 
    
  Adam is transformed into Abby with the aid of hormone injections, laser treatments, and a rigorous regimen of lust and humiliation. Shrinkage is an obvious side effect of his feminization, and becoming an attractive woman is a slippery slope filled with punishment, degradation, and new partners who expects you to perform like any woman would. 
    
  How will Adam fare as Abby? Will he lose his last shred of masculinity, or will he lose the love of his life? 
    
  PSA: This story contains a desperate man who feels forced into an undesireable situation. He’ll be dominated and humiliated by men and women alike, and gall darned if he doesn’t get off on... things... he never thought possible.

  Given that there’s such little margin for error in a submersible, many submarine losses remain sources of intrigue and mystery, and few rival the disappearance of the Soviet submarine K-129 in 1968. The Cold War was in high gear, and under the waters of the world’s oceans, Soviet and American submarines were in intense competition, pushing the boundaries of new technologies. Some of these submarines carried nuclear missiles that carried more destructive power than all the bombs dropped by the U.S. Army Air Force throughout World War II, including the nuclear bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Other submarines, the hunter-killers, were designed to find and destroy these missile-carrying submarines. All of these submarines engaged in their activities while aiming to avoid detection by the other side, establishing a clandestine conflict that was carried out far from the gaze of the public but still strategically vital. If either side could gain a notable advantage, it could abruptly change the fragile balance of power. 
  	Both sides lost submarines in the 1960s, but when the Soviets lost K-129 in 1968, it triggered one of the most interesting episodes of the Cold War, and something that reads like the plot of a techno-thriller. A race developed between the Americans and Soviets to locate the wreck, and when the Americans found it, they realized the submarine sunk in one of the deepest parts of the ocean, far beyond the depths at which conventional divers or submarines could operate. As a result, the CIA, aided by eccentric billionaire Howard Hughes, clandestinely began a lengthy and incredibly expensive project to build equipment that might allow them to recover and examine parts of the sunken submarine.  
  	That operation, Project Azarian, is still controversial over 50 years later.

  Dodecanese Campaign The: The...

  By mid-1943, British leaders, particularly Churchill, believed that while the defeat of Germany and Italy were important, victory should not be achieved at the expense of ceding control of post-war Europe to the Soviets. What went unsaid was that Churchill’s goal was British control over the Mediterranean, and his insistence on using Allied resources in the Mediterranean and working to block Russian gains even while the war was still in progress caused some of the most vituperative exchanges between Britain and America. At one point, Churchill even began to actively consider pursuing the war in the Mediterranean independently and without American support. The Chief of the British Imperial General Staff General Sir Alan Brooke, normally one of Churchill’s most ardent supporters, became concerned that his obsession with the Mediterranean was driving the prime minister beyond rational action: “I am slowly becoming convinced that in his old age Winston is becoming less and less well balanced!"[1]  
  	Nowhere were these differences more clearly exposed than during the Dodecanese Campaign, a British attempt to seize islands in the Aegean during the fall and winter of 1943. The campaign in the Aegean brought Anglo-American relations to their lowest point during the war, with the British feeling let down and perhaps even betrayed by their American allies, while the Americans believed the Aegean was relatively unimportant in the overall strategic context of the war and a potential drain on resources that would be better used elsewhere. The Dodecanese Campaign was the tragic outcome of the fundamental differences of opinion and approach between allies who otherwise worked closely and in harmony, and though nobody knew it at the time, it marked one of the last major victories for German forces who had been forced to retreat in every other theater of operations.
