books about: 1943     books:       Harrison24 reviews Editors of Rolling Stone Simon & Schuster, 2002 Harrison I must challege Candace Scott's remark in her review : "But it's a stretch, to put it mildly, to place Harrison in the same league as Lennon & McCartney as a songwriter. Ouch! I love George as much as anyone, but still expect truthful history to be written" I agree, George should not be placed in the same league as Lennon & McCartney because he was totally in his own league ! What is ...             WWE Legends - Superstar Billy Graham: Tangled Ropes27 reviews Billy Graham, Keith Elliot Greenberg World Wrestling Entertainment, 2007 The things you finally discover A little background: I grew up in Central Illinois, and began watching "All Star Wrestling" on Saturday mornings. I would see these bulky bruisers like Nick Bockwinkle and "Da Crusher!", and really thought this stuff was real. Then, out of nowhere, came this flamboyant, trash-talking, electrifying persona called Superstar Billy Graham, with his tie-dyed tights, Elton-John rhinestone ...             Beauty for Ashes: Receiving Emotional Healing31 reviews Joyce Meyer FaithWords, 2002 Offers Real Answers Having been a victim of abuse Joyce is able to speak to others who have been abused on their level, not just from observation or education. She doesn't just leave the reader in the place of accepting that they have things they need to work through, but she leads them through the same steps she took by God's hand to receive that healing. I have used this book to lead a women's study group and have ...             Mission Raise Hell: The U.S. Marines on Choiseul, October-November 194316 reviews James F. Christ US Naval Institute Press, 2006 MICROCOSMIC BATTLE - INCREDIBLY HONEST, NUANCED, AND ACCURATE It was reported that this 255 page book, "Mission Raise Hell" is flawed, sophomoric, and unduly repetitive. I never picked that up. James Christ's approach keeps you in the tempo of the movement of young Marines in Choiseul. It is a gripping account. Having fought in a war as a Marine Corps Officer, I'm grateful that the author reports the constant acts of the men he interviewed. And ...             The Coalwood Way (The Coalwood Series #2)66 reviews Homer Hickam Random House, 2000 A Christmas to Remember Dr. Werner von Braun once said, "Matters of faith are not really accessible to our rational thinking. I find it best not to ask any questions, but to just believe..." These words are truly conveyed throughout the second of Homer Hickam Jr.'s memoirs, The Coalwood Way, originally published in 2000. Although following his acclaimed, Rocket Boys, this compelling story does not continue where the ...             Etty Hillesum: An Interrupted Life : The Diaries, 1941-194317 reviews Etty Hillesum Henry Holt & Company, 1996 If Ann Frank wrote as a vibrant young woman In nearly all of our nation's middle and high schools the Diary of Anne Frank is required reading.

This book is his story and how he was successful. I bought 24 copies of this book to inspire my advanced 6th grade Reading class. They loved the book. In our discussions they mentioned never giving up. Homer and his friends kept trying until they had success. Thank you for sharing your ...             Stopped at Stalingrad: The Luftwaffe and Hitler's Defeat in the East, 1942-1943 (Modern War Studies(Paper))54 reviews Joel S. A. Hayward University Press of Kansas, 2001 This is the strongest Stalingrad book! Anthony Beevor's wife and publisher (the well-connected Hon. Artemis Cooper, no less) had her publicity machine whip his good book on Stalingrad into a huge international best-seller. That's perfectly okay. I liked Beevor's book very much, and do commend it to readers. But Beevor's isn't the most authoritative and analytical book on Stalingrad, that frightful, turning-point battle. Joel Hayward's ...             Guadalcanal: The Definitive Account of the Landmark Battle45 reviews Richard Frank Random House, 1990 History at its Best All but one of the other reviewers has given this book a four or five star rating. There is a reason. This is an exceptionally well-written book that covers a broad range of topics. Most military historians pick one type of warfare--ground, naval, or air combat--and focus on that area, even if they look at a number of different wars. Guadalcanal does not lend itself to such a focus. It was ...             Nancy Crow31 reviews Nancy Crow Breckling Press, 2006 loads of colorful pictures! Amazing book. great information, stories. Lots of pictures of striking quilts show-casing the progress of this wonderful artist. Also shows pictures of Nancy Crow's studio and timber frame barn - must be an amazing place to create.

Panzerkorps11 reviews George Nipe Fedorowicz (J.J.),Canada, 1996 Battle of Kursk as it really was George Nipe has writeen yet another supelative book that debunks all the nonsense about the Kursk battle, as told by Soviet Communist propaganda or crypto-communist historians like David Glantz, recounting all the losses suffered by the Germans, and the heroics of the Russian peasant soldiers in the Great Patriotic War. Working from unit war diaries and daily returns on losses, Nipe ...             Beatrix Potter Collectibles: The Peter Rabbit Story Characters13 reviews Debby Dubay, Kara Sewall Schiffer Publishing, 2005 Love Debby DuBay's new book on Potter! A must for the collector! This charming book opens with Debby DuBay chatting away on how she met the Miss Potter and collector of today - Kara Sewall.

By being the first amphibious landing against an entrenched enemy, the success of the Tarawa operation paved the way for continued success in the Pacific theater of WWII. It conveys a belief that the writer was actually there.. Particular individuals are followed throughout the account; some survive, some do ...             The Forgotten Hero of My Lai: The Hugh Thompson Story15 reviews Trent Angers Acadian House Publishing, 1999 The Forgotten Hero of My Lai: The Hugh Thompson Story From what I have seen written on the pages exhibited, I am asking our librarian here in Sandwich, NH to purchase this book. Hugh Thompson has always been a hero to me, and represents the helicopter pilots who were in Vietnam quite well. We were all brash, and ballsey, and would stand up to a lot of things we didn't think too swift. His deed outshines us all. I flew UH-1D's in the Delta, and have ...             Combat Jump : The Young Men Who Led the Assault into Fortress Europe, July 194312 reviews Ed Ruggero, 2003 Engaging story of the first major test of the US Airborne Ed Ruggero's "Combat Jump" is a wonderfully written and engaging piece of story-telling! Based mainly upon interviews with veterans of the 82nd Airborne Division (most specifically members of the 505th PIR), Ruggero has crafted a real page turner that takes the reader from the initial theoretical ideals of American Airborne forces to the first major combat - the Sicilian invasion of 1943 - seen ...             As I Please 1943-1945 (The Collected Essays, Journalism and Letters of George Orwell, Vol 3)11 reviews George Orwell, Sonia Orwell, ... Harvest/HBJ Book, 1978 An Insider's Careful Diagnosis of Political and Literary Trends at the End of World War II George Orwell' (1903-1950)anthology titled AS I PLEASE is an interesting collection of his careful literary criticism and political insights which were much more often right than wrong. Readers can learn so much about not only the situation and conditions in Great Britian between 1943 and 1945, they can learn much about the international situtation and Orwell's complete disillusionment with the ...             Student Conductor13 reviews Robert Ford Blue Hen Trade, 2004 Book Freak review of The Student Conductor BRILLIANT, BRILLIANT, BRILLIANT. This for me was one of those rare books that one cannot put down. I love this book. The story keeps you involved and surprised at many of the twists and turns. Mr. Ford has managed to convey such emotion through his magnificent descriptions of the times, the music, the little know world of the conductor, wonderful descriptions of the German scene and on top of ...             Lessons for Dylan: From Father to Son12 reviews Joel Siegel Thorndike Press, 2003 A heartfelt humor filled memoir and charge to the next generation There are no athiests in foxholes or in an oncologist's office.

At the age of 54, Siegel became a father for the first time and learned that he had cancer.
