Bomb Group - The Eighth Air...

Mike Peters, Paul Bingley

"The authors do a good job using the diaries, interviews, and books written by group members to convey a vivid—sometimes too vivid—picture of war at its most elemental." —The Journal of the Air Force Historical FoundationIn February 1942, a reconnaissance party of United States Army Air Force officers arrived in England. Firmly wedded to the doctrine of daylight precision bombing, they believed they could help turn the tide of the war in Europe. In the months that followed, they formed the Eighth Air Force – an organization that grew at an astonishing rate. To accommodate it, almost seventy airfields were hastily built across the eastern counties of England. At the heart of the Eighth Air Force was its bombardment groups, each equipped with scores of heavily armed, four-engine bombers. These Boeing B-17 Flying Fortresses and Consolidated B-24 Liberators were soon punching through the enemy's defenses to bomb targets vital to its war effort. They were crewed by thousands of young American airmen, most of whom were volunteers. This book tells the story of just one "Bomb Group" – the 381st, which crossed the Atlantic in May 1943. Arriving at RAF Ridgewell on the Essex-Suffolk border, its airmen quickly found themselves thrown into the hazardous and attritional air battle raging in the skies over Europe. The 381st’s path led from its formation in the Texan desert, to its 297th and final bombing mission deep into the heart of Hitler’s Third Reich. This is the remarkable story of one group and the part it played in the strategic bombing campaign of "The Mighty Eighth."

The Plainsman: A Story of Wild...

Frank Jenners Wilstach

"In the following pages I have endeavoured to give the reader a plain, honest, homespun account of my state in life, and some few of the difficulties which have attended me along its journey, down to this time. I am perfectly aware, that I have related many small and, as I fear, uninteresting circumstances; but if so, my apology is, that it was rendered necessary by a desire to link the different periods of my life together, as they have passed, from my childhood onward, and thereby to enable the reader to select such parts of it as he may relish most, if, indeed, there is any thing in it which may suit his palate."

A Mild Case of Dead - The unseen...

Dave Young

A Mild Case of Dead examines the folly of pursuing greater satisfaction in life through the goals of health, fitness, and weight loss. It occurs to us as logical to seek these qualities as a way to be more satisfied with our lives, but we seek them only because of a dissatisfaction with our lives. The human design is to be more satisfied with life first. When you’re guided by humanity instead of logic your physical state becomes a byproduct of that satisfaction, not the way to it.  
Written and narrated by the author, the book explains why he chose to abandon this work and close his gym forever. He realized that the issues that cause people to pursue health and fitness strategies are never resolved with the minutiae of programs or routines or diets because they are internal struggles first. 
The natural way to be satisfied with your body is to be satisfied with your life. Any other process is only a theory about life, not the real thing.

The Ageless Call to Serve -...

LTC Lanny Snodgrass MD

An eighteen-year-old in the United States is still barred from buying alcohol, acquiring a pilot's license, or stepping into a casino. Yet, astonishingly, they can be enlisted in the military and deployed to a war zone. On the other side of the age spectrum, individuals over thirty-nine often encounter insurmountable obstacles to enlistment. 
 
 
 
Break this mold and meet Lanny Snodgrass, who, at the age of sixty-three, became the oldest American to join the Army and complete officer basic training. It was 2003, the Iraq War had just started, and the Pentagon momentarily relaxed age requirements. 
 
 
 
With around four decades of experience treating veterans and active-duty military personnel, many teenagers grappling with psychiatric illnesses such as PTSD, depression, and suicidality, Dr. Snodgrass bears unique insight into the perils of sending young soldiers to war. 
 
 
 
Dr. Snodgrass poses critical questions about the limits of service and whether these age constraints should be maintained or relaxed. It's not an overstatement, then, to say that The Ageless Call to Serve presents a life-and-death proposition on how to build a more resilient, professional military force.
