  Bill Gentile did more than just "cover" Nicaragua's Sandinista Revolution and the Contra War. He lived them. First as correspondent for United Press International (UPI) and later as photojournalist for Newsweek magazine, Gentile experienced those historic events from the inside, as the partner of a Nicaraguan woman whose prominent family "adopted" him as one of their own. His memoir takes readers not only to the 1979 revolution, the Contra War in the merciless mountains of Nicaragua and to the deadly streets of El Salvador, but also to the steel mills and backyards of southwestern Pennsylvania where the Italian immigrant community prepared him for those conflicts, and then waited for his return. This book introduces the American public to the victims of U.S. intervention abroad. It is a firsthand, frontline account of the human cost of war. 
  Wait for Me: True Stories of War, Love and Rock & Roll, explores family, self, love, loss and love again - told against a backdrop of adversity and warfare.

  The first full treatment of the unique phenomenon of High Commands in the Soviet Army during World War II and the Cold War.The war on the Eastern Front during 1941–45 was an immense struggle, running from the Barents Sea to the Caucasus Mountains. The vast distances involved forced the Soviet political-military leadership to resort to new organizational expedients in order to control operations along the extended front. These were the high commands of the directions, which were responsible for two or more fronts (army groups) and, along maritime axes, one or more fleets.  In all, five high commands were created along the northwestern, western, southwestern, and North Caucasus strategic directions during 1941–42. However, the highly unfavorable strategic situation during the first year of the war, as well as interference in day-to-day operations by Stalin, severely limited the high commands' effectiveness. As a consequence, the high commands were abolished in mid-1942 and replaced by the more flexible system of supreme command representatives at the front. A High Command of Soviet Forces in the Far East was established in 1945 and oversaw the Red Army's highly effective campaign against Japanese forces in Manchuria.  The Far Eastern High Command was briefly resurrected in 1947 as a response to the tense situation along the Korean peninsula and the ongoing civil war in China, but was abolished in 1953, soon after Stalin's death. Growing tensions with China brought about the recreation of the Far Eastern High Command in 1979, followed a few years later by the appearance of new high commands in Europe and South Asia. However, these new high commands did not long survive the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 and were abolished a year later.  The book relies almost exclusively on Soviet and post-communist archival and other sources and is the first unclassified treatment of this subject in any country, East or West.

  Handicapped!

  You are probably not in the same condition as this woman who is outwardly crooked. But as I said in the beginning, something from your past has left you with a spirit of infirmity and affects the way you respond negatively to people and life situations. Let's also look at a similar situation that affects many people who are unaware of their fate. It is the curse of an illegitimate birth; it is like the spirit of infirmity  that has handicapped the woman. "Voices of Zion" sung by Chey gives the listener time to reflect on Pastor Philip's message.   German: Du bist vielleicht nicht in der gleichen Verfassung wie diese Frau, die gekrümmt ist. Aber etwas aus deiner Vergangenheit hat dich mit einem Geist der Gebrechlichkeit zurückgelassen und beeinflusst die Art und Weise, wie du auf Menschen und Lebenssituationen negativ reagierst.  Schauen wir uns einmal eine ähnliche Situation an, die viele Menschen betrifft, die sich ihres Schicksals nicht bewusst sind. Es ist der Fluch einer unehelichen Geburt, es ist ähnlich wie der Geist der Gebrechlichkeit, der die Frau behindert hat. "Voices of Zion", gesungen von Chey gibt dem Zuhörer Zeit, über die Botschaft von Pastor Philip nachzudenken.
