Sinossi

In the annals of World War II, the men of the Mighty Eighth Air Force stand apart as paragons of bravery and sacrifice. This book tells their story, in their own words, through a series of gripping firsthand accounts.

From the perilous skies over Europe to the harsh realities of German prison camps, these airmen faced unimaginable dangers with unwavering courage and resilience. They flew harrowing missions, fought fierce battles, and made heart-wrenching sacrifices to ensure the Allied victory.

Through their eyes, we witness the terror of flak-filled skies, the desperation of crash landings, and the camaraderie that bound these men together in the face of adversity. We learn about the strategic importance of their bombing raids, the resilience they displayed in the face of capture, and the daring escapes they executed to regain their freedom.

This book is a testament to the extraordinary courage and resilience of the men of the Mighty Eighth Air Force. It is a story of valor, sacrifice, and the unyielding spirit of humanity in the face of unimaginable adversity.

If you are interested in World War II history, military aviation, or stories of heroism and sacrifice, then this book is for you. It is a story that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.

The airmen of the Eighth Air Force were part of a larger story, the story of the Allied victory in World War II. They played a vital role in defeating the Nazis, and their sacrifice helped to ensure that freedom and democracy would prevail.

We owe a great debt to these men. We owe them our freedom, our security, and our way of life. We must never forget their sacrifice, and we must always honor their memory.

    Americans have long been fascinated by the Civil War, marveling at the size of the battles, the leadership of the generals, and the courage of the soldiers. Since the war's start over 150 years ago, the battles have been subjected to endless debate among historians and the generals themselves. The Civil War was the deadliest conflict in American history, and had the two sides realized it would take 4 years and inflict over a million casualties, it might not have been fought. Since it did, however, historians and history buffs alike have been studying and analyzing the biggest battles ever since.  
    	By the close of 1864, Abraham Lincoln had been reelected, the Union army had taken Nashville from General Hood, and Sherman had concluded his total war, “slash-and-burn” march of destruction to Savannah, Georgia, offering it as a Christmas present to Lincoln. Nevertheless, with everything seemingly falling to pieces, the South still held out hope of some sort of miracle, and Davis even attempted to send a peace delegation to meet with Lincoln in the early months of 1865. On January 28, 1865 as Union General Ulysses S. Grant was continuing to lay siege to Lee’s army at Petersburg, Virginia, Davis sent three commissioners headed by Vice-President Stephens to initiate informal peace talks with Lincoln. By February 3, however, the talks, known as the Hampton Roads Conference, came to a stalemate as Lincoln would accept nothing less than total union, while Davis would only accept Southern independence.  
    	Even at that point, the South was clearly on its last legs. General George H. Thomas destroyed John Bell Hood’s Confederate army at the battles of Nashville and Franklin, leaving only two large Confederate armies still in the field. Lee's army was weakened by desertion, lack of supplies and casualties, and Joseph E. Johnston’s army could barely resist against Sherman’s army as it was advancing north toward Virginia.

    America's greatness comes from people working hard to fulfill their dreams. But today that greatness is being undermined by people using the government to steal other people's dreams (and money). Rather than participate and innovate in the marketplace, generating goods and services that benefit society, people are increasingly vying for political advantage to live at the expense of others. Something for Nothing reveals the social and personal threats inherent in this emerging "grabbing match" culture, juxtaposing free-market virtues against government vices, explaining how the something-for-nothing mentality corrupts the political system, undermines corporate success, and stifles the individual's ability to prosper and contribute long-term to society. More than exposing the dangers, however, Tracy helps readers set a personal and culture-wide agenda for change.
