Book Description
Whether you've been in combat or have never been in the military, "The Funny Side" is meant for everyone. We typically only hear about heroism and tragic losses during war time, which of course happens, but what about the time between firefights? What about the rest of a person's time in the military? This book is a true story and a chronological adventure from training to being initiated into a unit to deploying to becoming a civilian again. It takes negatives and turns them into positives. If you're a civilian or haven't had an exciting time in the military, this story will show you what it's really like. If you're a combat veteran, it is the authors greatest goal to bring a smile to your face. To try to forget about the bad days and instead honor our brethren by reflecting on those ridiculous moments when we laughed ourselves to tears.

Hitler's War
Author: Harry Turtledove
Publisher: Del Rey
ISBN: 034551565X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 513
Book Description
A stroke of the pen and history is changed. In 1938, British prime minister Neville Chamberlain, determined to avoid war, signed the Munich Accord, ceding part of Czechoslovakia to Hitler. But the following spring, Hitler snatched the rest of that country, and England, after a fatal act of appeasement, was fighting a war for which it was not prepared. Now, in this thrilling alternate history, another scenario is played out: What if Chamberlain had not signed the accord? In this action-packed chronicle of the war that might have been, Harry Turtledove uses dozens of points of view to tell the story: from American marines serving in Japanese-occupied China and ragtag volunteers fighting in the Abraham Lincoln Battalion in Spain to an American woman desperately trying to escape Nazi-occupied territory—and witnessing the war from within the belly of the beast. A tale of powerful leaders and ordinary people, at once brilliantly imaginative and hugely entertaining, Hitler’s War captures the beginning of a very different World War II—with a very different fate for our world today. BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Harry Turtledove's The War that Came Early: West and East.
