Pages : 281
Book Description
Now in paperback! Military Book Club® Main Selection History Book Club® Featured Alternate * The battle that transformed a group of common soldiers into the modern-day Marine Corps Miracle at Belleau Wood begins in June 1918 at Les Mare Farm in France with just 200 U.S. marines, who spilled their blood to prevail against impossible odds, resisting an overwhelming German force of thousands and turned the battle back against the enemy, saved Paris, saved France, and saved the Allied hope of victory. Called “the Gettysburg of the Great War” by many at the time, it rescued America and its allies from almost certain defeat. This book tells the riveting story of the modern marines as America’s fiercest and most effective warriors, the world’s preeminent fighting elite. Miracle at Belleau Wood is the story of an epoch-making battle--a battle that elevated the Corps to legendary status and forever burned them into the American imagination. Praise for Miracle at Belleau Wood “Axelrod brings us back vividly to the shocking casualties of ‘the war to end all wars.’” —Bing West, author of No True Glory, former Assistant Secretary of Defense “Alan Axelrod has perfectly captured the embodiment of U.S. Marines and their unparalleled Esprit de Corps. . . . A must read!” —Jay Kopelman, author of the best-selling From Baghdad with Love “Axelrod is one of America’s great military historians. He’s done it this time with riveting non-stop action that reads like the best of Hemingway’s frontline reports plus the Marine Corps novels of W.E.B. Griffin. Axelrod pushes you right into the action, onto the battlefield, and never lets up.” —Paul B. Farrell, JD, PhD, syndicated columnist for Dow Jones’s MarketWatch, former Staff Sergeant in the US Marine Corps Praise for Patton: A Biography “Like Patton at his best: polished, precise, and persuasive.” —Kirkus Reviews

Duty Is Ours, Results Are God's
Author: Captain Randall J. Jansen USMC Ret.
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 1098046382
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 135
Book Description
In Duty is Ours, Results are God's, Captain Randall J. Jansen tells of his tough and demanding yet adventurous and exciting nine years in the US Marine Corps. He discusses principles to follow and life lessons to be learned, along with interesting and sometimes funny stories. Jansen began as a private in boot camp and later earned his officer's commission and naval aviator wings through attending flight school at the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Florida. Graduation was followed by his worldwide service as a helicopter pilot in the Caribbean Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, and Vietnam. Jansen was seriously wounded on his 248th combat flight mission during the Vietnam War, the resulting disability of which led to his mandatory retirement from the US Marine Corps. Following his career in the Marine Corps, Jansen transitioned back to civilian life and began an extended investigation into some critical and perplexing questions. Why would someone voluntarily serve or commit to duty which could result in serious injury or death? Is service worth it? Where do we get the concept of freedom, liberty, purpose, or self-sacrifice? Is there absolute truth or is everything relative? Is there a correct, reasonable, or logical worldview by which people should live? If there is, how does someone find it and then live it?

From Your Gods to Our Gods
Author: Marco Ventura
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1630875317
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 517
Book Description
The global world debates secularism, freedom of belief, faith-based norms, the state's arbitration of religious conflicts, and the place of the sacred in the public sphere. In facing these issues, Britain, India, and South Africa stand out as unique laboratories. They have greatly influenced the rest of the world. As single countries and together as a whole, the three have moved from the colonial clash of antagonistic religions (of your gods) to an era when it has become impossible to dissociate your god from my god. Today both belong to the same blurred reality of our gods. Through a narrative account of British, South African, and Indian court cases from 1857 to 2009, the author draws an unconventional history of the process leading from the encounter with the gods of the other to the forging of a postmodern, common, and global religion. Across ages, borders, faiths, and laws, the three countries have experienced the ambivalent interaction of society, politics, and beliefs. Hence the lesson the world might learn from them: our gods promise an idealized purity, but they can only become real in the everyday creation of mixed identities, hybrid deities, and shared fears and hopes.
