Fierce Valor (eBook, ePUB)
Fans of Stephen E. Ambrose's Band of Brothers will be drawn to this complex portrait of the controversial Ronald Speirs, an iconic commander of Easy Company during World War II, whose ferocious courage in three foreign conflicts was matched by his devotion to duty and the bittersweet passions of wartime romance. His comrades called him "Killer." Of the elite paratroopers who served in the venerated "Band of Brothers" during World War II, none were more enigmatic than Ronald Speirs. Rumored to have gunned down enemy prisoners and even one of his own disobedient sergeants, Speirs' became a foxhole legend amongst his troops. But who was the real Lieutenant Speirs? In Fierce Valor, historians Jared Frederick and Erik Dorr unveil the full story of Easy Company's longest-serving commander for the first time. Tested by trials of extreme training, military rivalry, and lost love, Speirs's international odyssey begins as an immigrant child in Prohibition-era Boston, continues through the bloody campaigns in France, Holland, and Germany, and sheds light on his lesser known exploits in Korea, the Cold War, and embattled Laos. Packed with groundbreaking research, Fierce Valor unveils a compelling portrait of an officer defined by boldness on the battlefield and a telling reminder that few soldiers escape the power of their own pasts.- Shop: buecher

Unfortunately, his new partner is a woman. Sergeant Eva Parks transfers to Boston PD from Houston, and from the moment she lays eyes on her new partner, she’s smitten. Good looks only go so far, though, and this man is definitely true to his name. When they are thrust headfirst into a stalking case-turned-murder investigation, Parks has to see through what the evidence is telling her and find out what is really going on.

Masters of Chaos: The Secret History of Special Forces , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 878min
Special Forces soldiers are daring, seasoned troops from America's heartland, selected in a tough competition and trained in an extraordinary range of skills. They know foreign languages and cultures and unconventional warfare better than any US fighters, and while they prefer to stay out of the limelight, veteran war correspondent Linda Robinson gained access to their closed world. She traveled with them on the frontlines, interviewed them at length on their home bases, and studied their doctrine, methods, and history. In Masters of Chaos she tells their story through a select group of senior sergeants and field-grade officers, a band of unforgettable characters like Rawhide, Killer, Michael T, and Alan - led by the unflappable Lt. Col. Chris Conner and Col. Charlie Cleveland, a brilliant but self-effacing West Pointer who led the largest unconventional war campaign since Vietnam in northern Iraq. Robinson follows the Special Forces from their first post-Vietnam combat in Panama, El Salvador, Desert Storm, Somalia, and the Balkans to their recent trials and triumphs in Afghanistan and Iraq. She witnessed their secret sleuthing and unsung successes in southern Iraq and recounts here for the first time the dramatic firefights of the western desert. Her blow-by-blow story of the attack on Ansar al-Islam's international terrorist training camp has never been told before. The most comprehensive account ever of the modern-day Special Forces in action, Masters of Chaos is filled with riveting, intimate detail in the words of a close-knit band of soldiers who have done it all. ungekürzt.

Soldiering After the Vietnam War: Changed Soldiers in a Changed Country , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 387min
For American soldiers returning home from the Vietnam War, there were no "Welcome Home" signs, no flowers, and no ticker-tape parades. For these soldiers, there were protesters! They were spit on, there was name calling, there was disrespect, and yes, there was even hatred. The Vietnam War was an unpopular war, but these young men did not ask to go to war. They only did what their government sent them to do. With unflinching honesty, author Glyn Haynie's new memoir, Soldiering After the Vietnam War: Changed Soldiers in a Changed Country, describes the difficulty he and many soldiers faced in adjusting to civilian life on their return from Vietnam. This moving story chronicles the impact this war had on these young combat veterans. It exposes how the shameful treatment these soldiers received on their return from Vietnam impacted them. It is also a story of brotherhood and the strong, lasting bonds that can only be forged in combat, bonds that were so often very important in the healing process many Vietnam veterans had to work through. It is a celebration of the courage, dedication, and perseverance so many American veterans possess. Haynie shares with his listeners his struggles and his successes, completing a stellar 20-year career in the US Army, culminating as an instructor at the US Army Sergeants Major Academy. His story is one that clearly demonstrates just how wrong those protestors were...and just how much our country does owe these men and women who served their country with bravery and honor...our gratitude and respect. Glyn Haynie's story will touch you in many ways...stirring feelings of embarrassment, anger, understanding, gratitude, and pride. It is a story all Americans should hear. ungekürzt.

The Stories Our Emotions Speak: Searching For Peace And Compassion (The Thought Finder) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 483min
For many of us, the question of how to improve our life goes hand-in-hand with the knowledge that we have to find the answers for ourselves. If that’s how you feel, you’re not alone, and while no one can take the difficult journey towards change for you, they can offer the tools to make it easier. The Stories Our Emotions Speak is one of those tools, compiled by The Thought Finder collaborators with all the expertise, experience, and insight they’ve earned in their own journeys towards a healthier outlook and more enhanced perception of the world and the people around them. Written in tandem with the poetry anthology Ten Thousand Steps, The Stories Our Emotions Speak offers the mental equipment needed to deconstruct and reassess your view of causality, consequence, and the underpinnings of your personal happiness. Far from acting as lecturers or drill sergeants, The Thought Finder collaborators offer themselves as fellow travelers, well-versed in the difficult climbs and perilous drops that pepper your emotional journey through life. Deliberately probing the line between reader and writer, The Stories Our Emotions Speak lays out an alternative philosophy based on personal investigation and observable fact. Intended for questioning readers of every age and background, it’s a book that asks hard questions. Why don’t you receive the support you need? Why do your goals seem so far out of reach? Why do you seem trapped in the same patterns of behavior and results? If you’re ready for them, the answers are inside, and the cycles you long to escape are yours to recognize and discard. A flagship title of The Thought Finder series, The Stories Our Emotions Speak is an audiobook you may never be truly finished listening to. Insightful, personal, and truly revelatory, by the final sentence, you’ll understand that you haven’t found it by accident. ungekürzt. Language: English.
