Homeward Bound to Iwo Jima

Pasquale De Marco

Sinossi

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.

Warnings From Nostradamus

Raphael Terra

This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). 
 
From a dark age, the light of prophecy shines forth. From deep in the bowels of a divided Europe emerge stark warnings to mankind that resonate within us even now. 
 
Prophecies that are seemingly impossible and yet are there for all to see. The outbreak of a worldwide pandemic, the death of Queen Elizabeth, the invasion of Ukraine, global warming, terror attacks, world war and the end of times. These, and more, were foreseen by a 16th century physician. Indeed we are told that a coming war, starting in Europe, will engulf the globe and cause catastrophic numbers of deaths. The materialistic Christian West will do battle with the united forces of the East and the Muslim world following a Russian invasion of Europe. Ballistic rockets will reign down upon us all. 
 
Are we ready for the truth? 
 
This is the tale of that man and his unique insight into the global events set in motion by mankind. This is the story of the end of the world and the man we know as Nostradamus. This is the story of how he became infamous.

At the Mercy of the Sea - The...

John Kretschmer

A "normal" Caribbean hurricane travels from east to west, but Lenny was anything but normal. Spawned south of Cuba in 1999, this late-season storm defied all predictions by moving steadily east toward the Leeward Islands. Eventually building almost to Category 5 strength, Lenny squatted for two days between the Virgin Islands and St. Martin, whipping the ocean with 155 mile-per-hour winds and sixty-foot seas. 
 
 
 
In its path in the Anegada Passage were three sailboats and their unfortunate crews: La Vie en Rose, a forty-one-foot sloop captained by ex-army lieutenant colonel Carl Wake; English Braids, a tiny twenty-one-foot racer skippered by would-be elite competitive sailor Steve Rigby; and Frederic-Anne, a sixty-five-foot schooner skippered by ambitious Guillaume Llobregat. None of the men knew each other, yet they converged by fate in a tiny circle of the sea in the midst of a storm no boat could withstand. And even as he battled for survival, Carl Wake lived the crowning hours of his life. 
 
 
 
John Kretschmer's At the Mercy of the Sea retraces the journeys of these three sailors through life and across oceans. It is a taut, suspenseful re-creation that seeks to make sense of the improbable intersection of three lives at the height of a storm, and a gripping reconstruction of Carl Wake's search for meaning and, ultimately, for his soul.

40 Ways to Diversify the History...

Elena Stevens

In writing this book, Elena Stevens' aim is to respond to calls for a more diverse, decolonised curriculum - calls which have become more insistent following the reinvigoration of the Black Lives Matter movement, the #MeToo movement and other landmark events. Highlighting the lived experiences of women, the working classes, and BAME and LGBTQ+ communities in particular, 40 Ways to Diversify the History Curriculum draws upon a wide range of personal stories to exemplify significant historical moments and shed new light on topics that have traditionally been taught through narrower lenses. The book serves as a resource bank for teachers wishing to enliven and diversify history lessons at Key Stages 2-3, GCSE, A level and beyond.Elena helpfully opens with a discussion of the theoretical/historiographical developments that lay behind calls to diversify the curriculum - and, to accompany each of the 40 historical case studies, she provides ideas and activities for translating the case studies into lesson plans and enquiries. Furthermore, Elena also guides teachers in shaping new enquiries from scratch.Suitable for teachers of secondary school and Key Stage 2 history.

The Illusory Bargain - Liberty...

Ralph H. Lehman

Out-of-control debt. Populism. Political vitriol and corruption. Where did America go wrong? Or rather, when did America go wrong?

1913. The Seventeenth Amendment is ratified, allowing the people of America to vote directly for their senators in the US senate. The same year, the Federal Reserve Act is passed, establishing a central bank to oversee monetary policy. In The Illusory Bargain, Ralph H. Lehman demonstrates that these seemingly empowering and people-serving pieces of legislature were just that-an illusion. Tracing the vision of the Founding Fathers as outlined in The Federalist Papers, Lehman reveals how the safety features of the original constitutional framework have eroded since and given way to rampant abuse of power and arbitrary, tyrannical law.

Through fresh, historically informed insights and over twenty years of financial expertise, Lehman reexamines the nation's fundamental values and proposes what may be the only course of action left to restore our liberty.
