  Soar into the untold story of the heroes who defied gravity and racism. 
  In Wings of Justice, bestselling author Davis Truman delivers a gripping, emotionally charged tribute to the legendary Tuskegee Airmen, America’s first Black military pilots, who not only fought against the Axis powers during World War II but also challenged the deep-rooted injustice of segregation at home. 
  With vivid storytelling and powerful historical insight, this book follows the Airmen from the segregated airfields of Tuskegee, Alabama, to the skies over war-torn Europe. As they battled enemies abroad and prejudice within the ranks, these brave men rewrote the narrative of American heroism. 
  More than a story of war, this is a story of triumph, of courage, resilience, and the fight for equality. Wings of Justice will leave you inspired, enraged, and ultimately hopeful. It’s a must-read for anyone who believes in the power of history to shape a more just future. 
  History remembered. Justice reclaimed. Heroes are never forgotten.

  Excerpt:
   
  To be a “Buddhist” without making any attempt to put the principles into practice is nonsensical. Buddhism is essentially something to do rather than something to believe. The attainment of the higher wisdom will, for most people at least, be a long task which may not be fully achieved in this lifetime. But those who are sincerely treading the path will stand out. They will have something about them which subtly marks them out. They will be mindful, compassionate, considerate to others. While they will not rush round offering good advice to all and sundry unasked, they may well be the kind of people whom those in need of advice and help will instinctively turn to. They will be good citizens of the world, for the very reason that they are not too much caught up in its meretricious attractions.

  The Battle of Agincourt -...

  The Battle of Agincourt, fought on October 25, 1415, stands as one of the most celebrated military victories in English history. It was a defining moment in the Hundred Years’ War, a prolonged conflict between England and France that spanned over a century. Agincourt not only showcased the military brilliance of King Henry V but also demonstrated the effectiveness of the English longbow against heavily armored French knights. The battle’s significance goes beyond a single day of combat—it influenced the course of the war, shaped national identities, and left an enduring legacy in both military history and cultural memory. 
  To fully understand Agincourt, one must first examine the broader conflict in which it took place. The Hundred Years’ War (1337–1453) was a series of intermittent battles and political struggles between England and France, primarily over territorial claims and the right to rule France. The origins of the war can be traced back to the complex feudal relationships of medieval Europe. The English monarchy held vast territories in France, including Aquitaine, a rich and strategically important region. However, growing tensions between the English and French crowns, combined with disputes over succession, led to open warfare. 
  A key factor in the war was the question of who had the legitimate right to the French throne. In 1328, the death of Charles IV of France left the French crown without a direct male heir. Under French succession laws, Philip VI of the House of Valois was chosen as king. However, England’s King Edward III, who was the grandson of a previous French king through his mother, claimed the throne as well. His assertion of this right in 1337 marked the official beginning of the Hundred Years’ War.

  In this comprehensive series, we delve into three distinct yet impactful health conditions that affect millions of individuals across the globe. Parkinson's Disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects movement, leading to tremors, stiffness, and balance problems. This progressive condition challenges not only the individuals living with it but also their families and caregivers, requiring ongoing management and adjustment to daily life. By understanding the causes, symptoms, and current treatments available, we aim to shed light on this complex disease and offer strategies for living with it. 
  Next, we explore Sciatica, a condition caused by the compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve, which can result in sharp, radiating pain in the lower back and legs. Sciatica can be debilitating, often limiting mobility and affecting one's ability to perform routine tasks. We will examine its causes, the various forms it takes, and the most effective treatments, from physical therapy to medication, offering practical advice on managing the pain and improving quality of life. 
  Lastly, we address Shingles, a viral infection caused by the reactivation of the chickenpox virus. While commonly known for the painful rash it produces, shingles can also lead to severe nerve pain that persists long after the rash has healed, a condition known as postherpetic neuralgia. This book explores the risk factors, symptoms, and treatments available, along with preventive measures such as vaccination. By providing in-depth information, we aim to empower individuals to better understand and manage shingles, reducing its impact on their health and well-being. 
  Through these books, we seek to provide a detailed and compassionate approach to understanding these conditions.
