Homeward Bound to Iwo Jima

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopsis

In the annals of World War II, few battles loom as large as the Battle of Iwo Jima, a titanic struggle that tested the limits of human endurance and forever etched the names of the United States Marines of the 8th and I Regiment into the chronicles of history.

"Homeward Bound to Iwo Jima" takes readers on a gripping journey into the heart of this epic conflict, recounting the events leading up to the battle, the fierce fighting that unfolded on the island, and the profound impact it had on the course of the war. Through the eyes of the Marines who fought there, we witness the horrors of war, the depths of human suffering, and the resilience of the human spirit.

From the initial amphibious landings on the black sands of Iwo Jima, to the bloody slog inland against a fanatical enemy, to the final raising of the Stars and Stripes atop Mount Suribachi, this book captures the intensity and brutality of the battle like never before. We follow the Marines as they fight for every inch of ground, enduring relentless artillery barrages, kamikaze attacks, and hand-to-hand combat in a labyrinth of bunkers and tunnels.

But "Homeward Bound to Iwo Jima" is more than just a chronicle of military history. It is a story of courage, sacrifice, and the unyielding spirit of the Marines who fought against overwhelming odds. Through their personal accounts and letters, we gain a glimpse into their lives, their hopes, and their fears as they faced the unimaginable horrors of war.

The Battle of Iwo Jima was a defining moment in World War II, a turning point that brought the Allied forces one step closer to victory. It was also a tragedy, a battle that claimed the lives of thousands of young men on both sides. But the legacy of Iwo Jima lives on, a testament to the bravery and resilience of the Marines who fought there and a reminder of the sacrifices made to secure our freedom.

"Homeward Bound to Iwo Jima" is a powerful and unforgettable story that brings this pivotal battle to life, honoring the memory of those who fought and died on that fateful island.

ELECTORAL COLLEGE THE - A...

Thomas E. Weaver

A timely look at how the Electoral College has changed US history and why it endures—told through the lenses of specific people who both influenced the process and were impacted by the results. 
 
 
 
"Over the years, no feature of the Constitution has attracted more criticism than that strange creature called the Electoral College. Thomas E. Weaver has made that history into a story with an intriguing cast of characters, some familiar, several new to me. If you want to know why it is so hard to do away with this long-standing anachronism, Weaver's story will help you understand." —JOSEPH J. ELLIS, Professor Emeritus of History, Mount Holyoke College, author of Pulitzer Prize–winning Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation 
 
 
 
"Those who think that throwing stones at political institutions is the same as reasoned debate should take some lessons from this carefully researched book. With a cast of colorful characters in tow, Weaver examines the long-standing controversies surrounding the EC and sets out numerous proposals for reform, which range from outright abolition to removing the "plus two" clause. Weaver brings a wealth of historical research to the task, writing with authority and clarity." —Kirkus

Economic Creatures - Book two -...

Denny N. Dwight

Book 2 of 3: Hardy has a hot lead that could finally provide him with answers to his questions. Together with Madeline, Frank, Dimitrij and Esra, he takes the dangerous journey and finds new allies in Harry and his community. But Hardy's fight against the creature has left traces that are becoming more and more obvious and seem inexplicable. After a brutal attack on Madeline, the community is surprisingly attacked by undead. With an old locomotive, they cross the vast steppes of Russia and repeatedly get into dicey situations. Shortly before Moscow, a ruthless and well-organized group appears in an attack helicopter, who only want one thing - Hardy. Using Madeline and Frank as leverage, Hardy complies with every request from Castor, a sick psychopath. Hardy meets would-be philanthropist Lydia, who resides in a well-protected mansion and apparently knows more about him than he does. Over dinner, the situation between the parties escalates and Hardy finds himself in a seemingly hopeless situation. Meanwhile, a horde of undead makes its way to the supposedly safe estate. The chaos is pre-programmed. Denny N. Dwight's cliché-laden declaration of love to the horror and action films of the 80s, 90s and early 2000s enters its second round. Again, he makes use of numerous quotes and allusions from films of these eras. In addition, the author brings up many topics that have been making the rounds among conspiracy theorists for years.
