Book Description
What is it like to fall in love with a soldier? What is it like to be a soldier in love? Throughout history, those serving in the British Army have combined romantic relationships with their military duties. In wartime especially, all the usual emotions experienced by men and women in love are felt to a heightened degree. The sense of danger, and the sometimes years of separation imposed by service abroad, make the heartache of loss and the joy of reunion all the greater. For loved ones parted by war, writing has always been of crucial importance in maintaining contact. Even when it was difficult to send a letter, or not easy to explain feelings when one could, soldiers - be they generals, young officers or privates - have persevered. In a celebration of love on the frontline during the First and Second World Wars, the archives of the National Army Museum, replete with letters, diaries and photographs, are thrown open to reveal fascinating stories of soldiers, their wives and sweethearts. Love found, love lost and love enduring all have their place in the pages of this book.

Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
Ronit Stahl traces the ways the U.S. military struggled with, encouraged, and regulated religious pluralism and scrambled to handle the nation’s deep religious, racial, and political complexity. Just as the state relied on religion to sanction combat missions and sanctify war deaths, so too did religious groups seek validation as American faiths.

In The Midst
Author: David Goddard
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1453583769
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 88
Book Description
In this book, In the Midst, the author has deconstructed many of the myths that have long been held in regards to marriage. Author Goddard addresses some difficult issues which may spark much discussion and lively debate as it relates to money, submission, divorce, sex. He teases the intellect with concepts that call for a twenty first century understanding and whets the appetite with a read that is satiable to the heart and soul. You may have read of marriage before but not in this fashion; read of the idea of man being the head of the home and had more questions than answers. In the Midst gives you responses to long unanswered questions and shares with you insights that heretofore were considered contemptible to preexisting thought. As you begin your sojourn towards this place of centeredness, In the Midst, may your experience be enlightening, empowering and affirming. Let spirit be your guide and may you arrive safely to In the Midst.
