  • Black Soldiers in the World Wars: The History of the Most Decorated African American Units in Both Conflicts - cover

    Black Soldiers in the World...

    The United States has no shortage of famous military units, from the Civil War’s Iron Brigade to the 101st Airborne, but one would be hard pressed to find one that had to go through as many hardships off the field as the Tuskegee Airmen, a group of African American fighter pilots who overcame Jim Crow at home and official segregation in the military to serve their country in the final years of World War II. In fact, it required a concerted effort by groups such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the extreme circumstances brought about by World War II that the military eventually decided to establish the “Tuskegee Experiment.” In time, the Tuskegee Airmen would be romanticized and mythologized to the extent that it was erroneously claimed that some escort squadrons didn’t lose a bomber to the enemy, which led Tuskegee airman Grant Williams to note in jest, “Back then, nobody realized the significance of what we were doing. Now, they seem to think we could walk on water."  
    Between 1942 and 1949, nearly 20,000 black men trained at Montford Point. They endured tar-paper barracks that baked in summer heat and leaked in coastal storms, learned to drill to the cadence of instructors who sometimes doubted their right to wear the uniform, and mastered skills that would carry them to the beaches and supply trails of Saipan, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa. Their story illuminated the paradox of wartime America, a republic that preached freedom abroad while policing hierarchies at home. 
    One of the most overlooked African American combat units is the Harlem Hellfighters, also known as the 369th Infantry Regiment of the U.S. Army. Initially raised as the 15th New York (Colored) National Guard and later federalized for World War I, the regiment was "loaned" to the French Army, where it compiled an extraordinary combat record, with a remarkable 191 days on the line and suffering about 1,400 casualties.

But was there ever really a golden age of truth-telling? Or have people been lying, fibbing and just plain bullsh*tting since the beginning of time?Tom Phillips, editor of a leading independent fact-checking organization, deals with this question every day. In Truth, he tells the story of how we humans have spent history lying to each other—and ourselves—about everything from business to politics to plain old geography. Along the way, he chronicles the world’s oldest customer service complaint, the Great Moon Hoax of 1835 and the surprisingly dishonest career of Benjamin Franklin.Sharp, witty and with a clear-eyed view of humanity’s checkered past, Truth reveals why people lie—and how we can cut through the bullsh*t.

    Across the world thousands of men and women have seen UFOs with their own eyes. They have even seen alien beings. They have even come into contact with them. The fact is there have been hundreds of UFO's crashed onto our planet. And we have witnessed them. 
     
    Across the world people are paralysed, abducted, abused and terrorised. Landscapes are burned and scarred. Towns are closed down, radio stations threatened and lies are spread. 
     
    But the truth can be seen when we expose all the evidence. When we bring the hundreds of UFO crashes together in one story. There is a pattern. But, what are the aliens doing? Why are they crashing? Are we at war? 
     
    Our secretive military and inner-governments know what is happening and they are hiding it from us. They close down every site, cordon off, recover technology and corpses and then cover-up. They have been doing so for decades and we are being fooled. Why? Because we are at war. 
     
    This is the story of Alien Contact. This is the story of the Alien Invasion.
