Beschreibung

In "Scenes in the Life of Harriet Tubman," Sarah H. Bradford illuminates the extraordinary life of one of America's most celebrated abolitionists through a richly detailed and evocative narrative. Written in a style characterized by clear prose interspersed with emotional depth, Bradford's account offers an intimate portrayal of Tubman's courageous endeavors in her quest for freedom. The book not only recounts Tubman's remarkable escapes and her crucial role in the Underground Railroad but also situates these events within the broader context of 19th-century American society, emphasizing the social and political challenges that shaped her life and mission. Sarah H. Bradford, a journalist and activist deeply engaged in the fight against slavery, was uniquely positioned to write Tubman's life story. Her close association with Tubman, as well as her commitment to chronicling the experiences of African Americans during the post-Civil War era, led her to craft this compelling biography. Bradford's firsthand interviews with Tubman lend authenticity to her portrayal, while her own background as an advocate for social justice profoundly informs the narrative. "Scenes in the Life of Harriet Tubman" is an indispensable read for anyone interested in the history of the abolitionist movement or the complexities of African American life during the 1800s. Bradford's insightful representation not only honors Tubman's legacy but also inspires contemporary readers to reflect on resilience and the enduring fight for justice. This powerful work is a vital contribution to American literature and history, making it a must-read.

    Growing up with him was like being in my own war zone, living in perpetual fear of when the bombs would fall. 
    I was terrified of becoming him, and in moments I could feel I might. He still lives within me grimly like some battered demon spright. And I’m fearful of his shadow. The rage, and his blood. There are some moments when he arrives and I want to tear up the whole world with my bare hands, and all I really want is love. I want him away now. Please. Just go.  
      
    In this extraordinary memoir, Tom Mitchelson offers a deeply moving story of hope and love triumphing over adversity. It is gripping account of what it’s like for a child to grow up in an explosively violent home and explores the enormously complicated relationship Tom had with his dad, well into adulthood.  
    Tom grew up with identical triplet sisters and they would watch as their dad would abuse their mum, shouting obscenities in her face, brutally drag her around the house and inflict other unspeakable cruelties. It went on for years and the family never told a soul.   
    Tom knew his dad was a monster, yet he loved him. He was both friend and foe. Someone to fear and at the same time someone Tom felt he had to defend. When Tom became the protegee of his comprehensive school teacher, that story too turned dark.   
    Tom followed a career in comedy and undercover journalism and it was only after his father’s death, and becoming a father himself, that he could begin to face up to his past, leading him on a powerful journey of self-discovery.   
    Don’t Ask Me About My Dad is an inspirational story of our time: a rare account by someone from a deprived background speaking about the complexities of a defining relationship and finding the restorative power of fatherhood, resilience and, ultimately, how the truth can set you free. 
    This biography is a testament to survival and resilience, a personal journey through grief and bereavement that will leave you in awe of Tom Mitchelson's strength. It's a top pick for anyone interested in autobiography and memoirs, offering a raw and unflinching look into domestic turmoil and the complexities of relationships. 
    For fans of Maggie Hartley (Battered, Broken, Healed), Shannon Kyle (The Race to Truth), Linda Watson-Brown (Don't Say A Word), Katy Weitz (The Girl for the Job), and Anna Ruston (Secret Slave).

    A firsthand account of aerial warfare from a USAAF veteran who flew in fighter bombers during WWII, perfect for military aviation enthusiasts.   George Webster, a flight radio operator on a B-17 during the second world war, gives readers a first person account from the inside of a bomber plane. Focusing on the 92nd Bomb Group, 8th Air Force, including missions to the Schweinfurt ball-bearing plant and Berlin, Webster’s memoir is vivid and intimate, describing the bitter cold at high altitudes, gut-wrenching fear, lethal shrapnel from flak, and German fighters darting through the bomber formation like feeding sharks. One of the first accounts of being shot down over Sweden, The Savage Sky is as close as you can get to experiencing aerial combat while still staying firmly planted on the ground.   “If you want to know what it was really like to fly in a bomber—read this!” —George Murdoch, Armchair Auctions
