Sheer Misery - Soldiers in...

Mary Louise Roberts

Marching across occupied France in 1944, American GI Leroy Stewart had neither death nor glory on his mind: he was worried about his underwear, which was engaged in a relentless crawl of its own. Similar complaints of physical discomfort pervade infantrymen's memories of the European theater, whether the soldiers were British, American, German, or French. Wet, freezing misery with no end in sight—this was life for millions of enlisted men during World War II.Sheer Misery trains a humane and unsparing eye on the corporeal experiences of the soldiers who fought in Belgium, France, and Italy during the last two years of the war. In the horrendously unhygienic and often lethal conditions of the front line, their bodies broke down, stubbornly declaring their needs for warmth, rest, and good nutrition. Feet became too swollen to march, fingers too frozen to pull triggers; stomachs cramped, and diarrhea stained underwear and pants. Turning away from the accounts of high-level military strategy that dominate many WWII chronicles, acclaimed historian Mary Louise Roberts instead relies on diaries and letters to bring to life visceral sense memories like the moans of the "screaming meemies," the acrid smell of cordite, and the shockingly mundane sight of rotting corpses. As Roberts writes, "For soldiers who fought, the war was above all about their bodies."

How to Analyze People - System...

Ralph Atkinson

You have come to the right place. One of the superpowers that human beings have is hidden thoughts. People say one thing and mean the opposite all the time. These deceptive tendencies are the primary cause of disappointment and evil in society today. Fortunately, experts have come up with an array of methodologies and techniques that reveal the truth behind spoken words, making the analysis of people very easy. These techniques have been tried and proven to be effective in almost all sectors, from solving crimes to helping make personal decisions about people.

How to Analyze people is your best bet towards beginning your journey to reading people accurately. This book contains techniques and methods that will help you understand the truth about the person you are interacting with. If we only knew the true colors of half of the people we interacted with, we wouldn’t be involved with them in the first place. With the knowledge dispensed in this book, you will never have regrets about people again.

Some of the topics that you will get to learn about include:

-The basics of analyzing people, which contains vital points about what you should know before you begin the analysis process

-Tips that will help you become a stellar analyzer in a short period of time

-How to establish an analysis baseline

-Different personalities, and how they influence people’s behaviors

-Non-verbal communication and why it is the most potent technique

-Different types of non-verbal communication and how you should go about them

-Popular myths that you should disband completely

-The highly underrated power of intuition
I have written each technique in a straightforward and simple language that can be easily understood by anyone. If you have always wondered how the FBI and psychologists read people accurately, look no further. Once you tap into the knowledge, I can guarantee that you will be able to see people for whom they truly are, helping you avoid deceptive and malicious people.
