  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.

  YANG JOON-IL MAYBE : Password of...

  Ice cream, Yang Joon-il (JIY) 양준일

  • 0

  The storyteller Yang Joon-il brings alive his stories and emotion that used to be delivered via his music and dance, or as he puts it, his whole body!
  
  『Yang Joon-il MAYBE_ Password of You and I』 is the first book released by Korean singer Yang Joon-il, also known as JIY, who returned to the stage thanks to the calls from fans after 19 years. In this audio, JIY unfolds his life story in a poem-like short and thoughtful composition, to share with the world his deep thoughts and episodes that could make him fundamentally positive toward the world and himself: overcoming frustration and hurt from the past as an immigrant child in the United States who just loved dancing and singing; as a performing artist beset with bad luck, unable to fully manifest talent due to the prejudices in the South Korean society in early 1990s; and as a father who struggled to provide for his family through different physical labour working as a restaurant server and cleaner.
  
  Loneliness and love, truth, forgiveness, happiness, peace, eternity ... The 'thoughts' that Yang Joon-il shares in this book are not the words of the sage or proverbs. Whenever the pain of life weighed on him, he says he thought 'Maybe this is not everything there is to it'. The title of this audio is also taken from that statement.
  For him, 'MAYBE' is a word with 'hope' that can be subversive. The repeated frustrations and failures, Yang Joon-il could overcome with the teachings from several spiritual and philosophical leaders. Those words became a part of him throughout his life, and the truth and sincerity with which he digested them slowly have now created his own words that are easy and can be understood by everyone.
  
  About the authors:
  Yang Joon-il (JIY) - Called back to the life on stage by fellow singers and his loyal fans, he recently resumed his singing and dancing career after 19 years. This book is now out for the whole world so he can share the thoughts that have helped him overcome difficult times.
  Ice Cream - After graduating from college, worked for magazines. Yang Jun Il's old friend.
