Sinopse

William Milligan Sloane's "The Life of Napoleon Bonaparte" is an exhaustive four-volume narrative that intricately chronicles the rise and fall of one of history's most enigmatic figures. Leveraging a rich tapestry of historical documents, personal letters, and contemporary accounts, Sloane constructs a vivid portrayal of Napoleon's political and military genius while simultaneously delving into the sociopolitical landscape of Europe during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Employing a narrative style that combines scholarly rigor with engaging prose, Sloane invites readers to not only understand Napoleon's actions but also the cultural and historical contexts that shaped his ambitions and decisions. Sloane, an esteemed historian and professor at Columbia University, was deeply fascinated by the intricacies of leadership and power dynamics, which undoubtedly influenced his detailed analysis of Napoleon. His academic background and a lifetime engagement with European history equipped him with unique insights into the social and political climate that facilitated Napoleon's meteoric rise. Sloane's meticulous research reflects his commitment to presenting a balanced view that honors both the complexities of historical narratives and the individual's influence on the course of history. Highly recommended for historians, enthusiasts of military strategy, and readers intrigued by the interplay of personality and politics, Sloane's work stands as a cornerstone in Napoleonic studies. With its rich detail and profound insight, this biography not only informs but also captivates, offering readers a comprehensive understanding of a titan who shaped the modern world.

    This story is a chronicle of the year 1968 as seen through the eyes of the author while serving at Takhli Royal Thai Air Force Base in Thailand, supporting the air war in Vietnam. It was an odd juxtaposition, repairing the fire-control systems on F-105s that were making twice-daily bombing runs over North Vietnam, while living in relative comfort and safety. 
     
     
     
    For every combatant in a time of war, there are thousands of men and women serving in support roles. These soldiers, marines, sailors, and airmen are doing their jobs every day to support the overall effort. They are cooks and clerks, logistics experts, truck drivers and administrators, mechanics and technicians, doctors, nurses, dentists, and chaplains of every faith. They may not be getting shot at or shelled, but they are vital to the mission in every sense. 
     
     
     
    They serve on bases at home as well as overseas in nearly every corner of the globe. They deploy and leave their families and loved ones. They miss birthdays, graduations, anniversaries, school plays, football games, weddings, and funerals. They, too, serve their country honorably. This story is dedicated to support personnel serving everywhere, past, and present.

    In 1971, famed astronaut Alan Shepard returned from the moon and went to get a haircut. Before settling into the barber’s chair in Webster, Texas, near NASA’s Mission Control, Shepard gave his longtime barber and friend, Carlos Villagomez, an autographed golf ball. 
    During his Apollo 14 moonwalk, Shepard had conducted a world-famous demonstration of gravity by hitting a golf ball in an out-of-this-world sand trap. It took him two tries. 
    Carlos, a Navy combat veteran and barber for numerous astronauts, says Shepard gave him the ball immediately after he returned to earth and was released from quarantine. 
     ●     Had Shepard taken a third ball to the moon? 
    ●     Did he give it to his barber as a token of their long friendship? 
    ●     Is the ball one of the most significant pieces of sports memorabilia in history, or simply a gift of enduring friendship? 
    ●     Did the barber’s golf ball fly to the moon? 
    The debate provides a backdrop for The Barber, The Astronaut, and the Golf Ball, a story of two extraordinary men and their lasting friendship. The book is based on recollections of Carlos himself, the authors—both children of NASA scientists—as well as other astronauts, memorabilia experts, and family and friends of Shepard, who died in 1998.
