Sinossi

Prisoner Escapes explores the compelling history of military prison escapes, diving into the resourcefulness and unwavering determination of soldiers seeking freedom. It examines the physical methods employed, like the construction of elaborate tunnels, alongside the psychological resilience necessary to endure captivity. The book argues that the impulse to escape represents a fundamental expression of human resistance and highlights the strategic impact these attempts had on prisoner morale and enemy operations.

 
The book details the historical context of military imprisonment and the motivations behind escape attempts. Chapters are dedicated to specific escape methods, such as tunneling, disguises, and exploiting security weaknesses, using case studies from World War I, World War II, and the Korean War. It's intriguing to consider how escape strategies were often supported by networks both inside and outside prison walls, which highlights the importance of logistical planning in even the most desperate situations.

 
Through official records and firsthand accounts, Prisoner Escapes presents a comprehensive view of this often-overlooked aspect of military history. It progresses from establishing historical context to analyzing specific escape methods and ultimately examines the broader impact of prisoner escapes on military strategy. The book provides valuable insights into wartime resilience and the enduring quest for liberty.

    A gripping and deeply-felt examination of incarcerated women's lives 
     
     
     
    With unflinching clarity, Hidden Healers cuts through the myths about incarcerated women to expose the all-too-real brutalities they face within a criminal legal system never designed for them. Backed by three decades' experience providing therapeutic programs inside prisons across the United States, trauma specialist Dr. Stephanie Covington has used her unique access to amplify the voices of the women themselves. Their stories illuminate realities most never see: that most women who get caught up in the criminal justice system have themselves been victims of harm, that the degradations of today's prisons and jails only magnify their trauma— and that incarcerated women regularly risk punishment to tend to one another's well-being in unexpected acts of kindness. Grounded in research and rich with personal narrative, Hidden Healers is a poignant and riveting look inside women's prisons and jails—and what we can do to help.

    DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL BOOK. 
    This is a summary, & it does not accompany the official 
    "Dare to Lead" by Brené Brown challenges conventional notions of leadership by emphasizing that true leadership isn't about titles or power but about recognizing and developing the potential in people and ideas. Brown contends that daring leadership involves curiosity, asking the right questions, sharing power, embracing vulnerability, and engaging in tough conversations when necessary. 
    In a world marked by scarcity and uncertainty, where machines and AI are taking on more tasks, Brown argues that human traits like empathy, connection, and courage are what leaders should focus on developing. Drawing from her extensive research and experiences working with leaders globally, she addresses the universal question of how to cultivate braver and more daring leaders while embedding a culture of courage. 
    In her characteristic no-nonsense style, Brown identifies four teachable and measurable skill sets that constitute daring leadership. She emphasizes that choosing courage over comfort is a challenging but essential endeavor and encourages readers to show up with their whole hearts in their leadership roles. Whether you're familiar with Brené Brown's previous work or new to her ideas, "Dare to Lead" is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to step up and become a brave leader.
