Intertwined - A Journey into the heart of one of the world's most interesting cities from a unique perspective

Gavin S. Johnson

Beschreibung

In the heart of New Orleans, where every street tells a story, a healthcare professional steps… steps into the role of storyteller—chronicling the raw, often unseen world of addiction and the quiet strength it takes to rise above it.Set against a backdrop of excess, struggle, and survival, this powerful narrative follows those seeking redemption through the 12-Step Program, recovery centers, and courtroom halls. Their journeys are messy, human, and deeply moving—captured through the eyes of someone who’s walked beside them, both as a caregiver and as a witness.This is a story of resilience, of lives reclaimed from the brink, and of the unbreakable spirit that persists even in the darkest corners. It's a tribute to healing, hope, and the powerful bond between those who fall—and those who help them rise.

The Hidden Legacy of World War II

Carol Schultz Vento

Carol Schultz Vento recounts the post-World War II years of her famous father "Dutch" Schultz.
"Carol Schultz Vento's testimonial and others like it do not diminish the wartime generation's accomplishments but suggest that the price they paid was far higher, the toll extracted from them and their families far greater, and their struggles far more protracted than the glossy tributes to the 'Greatest Generation' would have us believe. It in is the end a cautionary tale, reminding us that if as a last resort we send soldiers into harm's way, we should be under no illusions about war's colossal human costs, remembering that even in the most brilliant triumphs there is heartbreak and that the suffering does not stop when the shooting does." --- Thomas Childers
Daughters, fathers and war - three words seldom used together.
In "The Hidden Legacy of World War II: A Daughter's Journey", Carol Schultz Vento weaves life with her paratrooper father into the larger narrative of World War II and the homecoming of the Greatest Generation. The book describes the seldom told story of how the war trauma of World War II impacted one family. This personal story is combined with the author's thorough research and investigation of the reality for those World War II veterans who could not forget the horrors of war. This nonfiction work fills in the missing pieces of the commonly accepted societal view of World War II veterans as stoic and unwavering, a true but incomplete portrait of that generation of warrior. About the author: Carol Schultz Vento is a former Political Science professor and attorney. She is a graduate of Temple University and Rutgers University School of Law. She is the daughter of 82nd Airborne World War II veteran Arthur "Dutch" Schultz. Carol is a native of Philadelphia and lives in Palmyra, New Jersey.

1919 Irish War of Independence

Legends of War

In the years after the Easter Rising of 1916 in Ireland, a new independence movement had emerged, and in 1918-19 the political party Sinn Féin and its paramilitary partner, the Irish Republican Army, began a political struggle and an armed uprising against British rule. By 1922 the United Kingdom had lost a very substantial portion of its territory, as the Irish Free State came into being amid a brutal civil war. At the same time Ireland was partitioned and a new, unionist government was established in what was now Northern Ireland.
