Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 354
Book Description
This is the story of Bob Moranda, citizen soldier, who fought with honor, courage, conviction, and valor during one of World War II's most critical campaigns-the Battle of the Bulge. Both his capture by the Germans and liberation by the Russians were perilous. This is also the story of Bob and his brother George, who both served in Korea. In the National Guard after WWII, they were called to active duty again. Not too many years after WWII, they had to adjust once more from civilian life to that of soldiers in training and combat. Bob writes of the joys and frustrations of the common soldier doing his duty. George adds historical perspective to the events recounted in the book. Together they provide a compelling narrative enhanced by the context of history. For those who want to know what actual combat is like, those who need inspiration to meet life's challenges, and for those who want to know more about the "boys who saved democracy," this is essential reading.

The Legacies of Two World Wars
Author: Lothar Kettenacker
Publisher: Berghahn Books
ISBN: 0857452231
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 331
Book Description
The US invasion of Iraq in 2003 was done mainly, if one is to believe US policy at the time, to liberate the people of Iraq from an oppressive dictator. However, the many protests in London, New York, and other cities imply that the policy of “making the world safe for democracy” was not shared by millions of people in many Western countries. Thinking about this controversy inspired the present volume, which takes a closer look at how society responded to the outbreaks and conclusions of the First and Second World Wars. In order to examine this relationship between the conduct of wars and public opinion, leading scholars trace the moods and attitudes of the people of four Western countries (Great Britain, France, Germany and Italy) before, during and after the crucial moments of the two major conflicts of the twentieth century. Focusing less on politics and more on how people experienced the wars, this volume shows how the distinction between enthusiasm for war and concern about its consequences is rarely clear-cut.
