Synopsis

Famous Lighthouse Rescues explores the unsung heroism of lighthouse keepers and their vital role in maritime safety. Beyond being navigational aids, lighthouses served as lifelines, especially during periods with limited communication. The book details how these keepers bravely intervened during shipwrecks and nautical disasters, often risking their own lives.

 
It highlights the evolution of lighthouse technology and the demanding lives of the keepers and their families. The book presents detailed accounts of specific rescues, meticulously researched using logbooks, reports, and personal stories. It begins with the construction and operation of lighthouses, then moves into the daily lives of keepers before diving into the heart of the matter: dramatic rescues.

 
One intriguing fact is the resourcefulness keepers displayed, often acting as the sole source of assistance for ships in distress. These acts of bravery significantly reduced maritime casualties and shaped safer sea travel.

 
By focusing on the human element and detailed rescue accounts, Famous Lighthouse Rescues offers a unique perspective on maritime history and coastal heritage. It's structured to provide both historical context and compelling narratives, making it valuable for maritime enthusiasts and anyone interested in stories of bravery. The book incorporates photographs and illustrations to create a vivid visual representation of the lighthouses and the conditions under which these rescues took place.

    In Fallen Tigers: The Fate of America's Missing Airmen in China during World War II, historian Daniel Jackson sheds light on the stories of downed aviators who attempted to evade capture by the Japanese in their bid to return to Allied territory. He reveals that the heroism of these airmen was equaled, and often exceeded, by the Chinese soldiers and civilians who risked their lives to return them safely to American hands. His comprehensive research even shows that helping downed American airmen transcended the deep political divisions of wartime China, with Nationalists, Communists, and even alleged collaborators realizing the commonality of their struggle against the Japanese. Drawing extensively on sources and interviews, Jackson sketches an epic historical drama documenting the astonishing extent of Sino-American cooperation. 
     
     
     
    Fallen Tigers is an incredible story of survival amid a brutal war, insightfully illustrating the relationship between missing American airmen and their Chinese allies who were willing to save their lives at any cost. Based on archival research and filled with compelling personal narratives from memoirs, wartime diaries, and interviews with veterans and war survivors, Fallen Tigers will appeal to history buffs and scholars interested in WWII, US military aviation, and international relations between the United States and China.

    Why did Ukraine lose the war against Russia? How do the two sides think and conduct their operations? What mistakes were made on both sides? How did the West contribute to Ukraine's defeat? 
    To answer these questions and many others, Jacques Baud draws on official information, American, Western and Russian documents that analyse Russian (and Soviet) strategies and tactics over the last 50 years. He explains how Russia understands and conducts war, and shows how our ignorance of this reality has pushed Ukraine towards defeat. 
    This audiobook is read by a synthesized voice.
    
    Jacques Baud was a member of Swiss strategic intelligence, a specialist in Eastern Europe and former head of doctrine for UN peacekeeping operations.

    Bronze Winner for Popular Culture, Foreword INDIEsStep into the dark roots of Christmas past where the Krampus punishes the bad boys and girls. Christmas time is truly the darkest and creepiest time of the year filled with devilish creatures lurking in the shadows waiting to get us. Best known is the Krampus who has been the subject of films and songs. There was a time in the late 1800s when people sent Krampus cards, not holiday greetings. There are other violent and dangerous monsters from all over northern climes who have been hunting naughty children for centuries. From shapeshifters to mountain trolls, to elves, to heavy-handed cohorts of Saint Nicholas, the Christmas holiday has been filled with ghosts and monsters ready to dole out punishment to those who need it.The Fright Before Christmas will delve into the folklore of Krampus and his friends with the elf-like Tomten and the goblinesque Karakoncolas. The Belsnickel is ready to hit us with his switch of sticks and Gryla may drag you back to her mountain lair. And watch out for the Yule Cat ready to pounce! These are just a few of the yuletide beasties coming for us in The Fright Before Christmas in the hope they can save us from ourselves.   The folklore roots of Christmas under its many other guises (Yule, the Winter Solstice, Saturnalia) is examined in a different, darker light. The Winter Solstice is a time to be afraid. It’s the shortest day of the year. The longest night. In some parts of the world, the sun doesn’t rise at all. It’s dark, and we have to wonder if the sun will ever come back at all. Christmas has always been creepy and with The Fright Before Christmas you'll see the other side. This is a book for everyone who loves a little darkness around the holidays. Be good or the Krampus will get you!
