AWOL
Author: Kathy Roth-Douquet
Publisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 0061874663
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 269
Book Description
“This impassioned, convincing manifesto” from two policy experts with military family “calls for class integration of the military” (Publishers Weekly). Military service was once a natural part of good citizenship, with Americans of all classes serving during wartime. Not anymore. As Kathy Roth-Douquet and Frank Schaeffer assert in this groundbreaking work, there is a growing disconnect between the cultural “elite” who guide military policy and the rank-and-file servicemembers charged with carrying it out. While the privileged lack the benefits and perspective gained through military service, those who do serve feel under-supported and morally distanced from the rest of the country. And when only a handful of congressmembers have military experience, it can become too easy—or too hard—to send soldiers into combat. Based on extensive research and firsthand accounts of service, AWOL is both informative and personal. As the father of a former Marine, Frank Schaeffer knows the anguish and pride of seeing a child deployed into combat. Kathy Roth-Douquet, wife of a career officer, knows struggle of keeping a family together with a husband at war, as well as the satisfaction of raising children in an ethic of service. Intimately acquainted with the glory and the sacrifice of military service, these co-authors offer the urgent wake-up call that America needs.

The Tunnels of Cu Chi
Author: Tom Mangold
Publisher: Presidio Press
ISBN: 0307833364
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
At the height of the Vietnam conflict, a complex system of secret underground tunnels sprawled from Cu Chi Province to the edge of Saigon. In these burrows, the Viet Cong cached their weapons, tended their wounded, and prepared to strike. They had only one enemy: U.S. soldiers small and wiry enough to maneuver through the guerrillas’ narrow domain. The brave souls who descended into these hellholes were known as “tunnel rats.” Armed with only pistols and K-bar knives, these men inched their way through the steamy darkness where any number of horrors could be awaiting them–bullets, booby traps, a tossed grenade. Using firsthand accounts from men and women on both sides who fought and killed in these underground battles, authors Tom Mangold and John Penycate provide a gripping inside look at this fearsome combat. The Tunnels of Cu Chi is a war classic of unbearable tension and unforgettable heroes. Praise for The Tunnels of Cu Chi “A claustrophobic but fascinating tale.”—The Wall Street Journal “Chilling . . . what war really was and how it was fought.”—The New York Times “Gripping . . . highly recommended.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer “Remarkable.”—The Washington Post

Just One More Thing
Author: Peter Falk
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 0091795737
Category : Television actors and actresses
Languages : en
Pages : 328
Book Description
In JUST ONE MORE THING, Peter Falk takes us on an acting journey that begins not in Hollywood but in Hartford, where he worked as a management analyst for the Connecticut State Budget Bureau. His time there was no more successful than an earlier attempt to find work with the Central Intelligence Agency. At loose ends, Falk turned to an old college interest: acting. He came to prominence as an actor in 1956 in the highly successful Off-Broadway revival of 'The Iceman Cometh' with Jason Robards. Although he worked continuously for the next three years, bouncing from one Off-Broadway theater to the next, a theatrical agent advised him not to expect much work in motion pictures because of his glass eye. Surgeons had removed his right eye, along with a malignant tumor, when he was three years old. But in 1958, the actor made the jump to Hollywood, where he landed his first movie, 'Murder Incorporated', and was nominated for an Oscar. Next came Frank Capra's 'A Pocketful of Miracles' starring Bette Davis, which garnered Falk his second Oscar nomination. Falk was a favorite among moviegoers during the 1960s, admired for his roles in classic comedies such as 'It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World' and 'The Great Race'. However, it was through his collaboration with filmmaker John Cassavetes that Falk entered into his most creative period in 1970. Motion pictures such as 'Husbands' and 'A Woman Under the Influence' helped launch the independent film movement. Nevertheless, Falk continued to act in light film comedies, including 'The In-Laws' and Neil Simon's 'The Cheap Detective' and 'Murder by Death', among others. Yet it was through television that Falk reached his widest audience. He has portrayed the beloved Lt. Columbo since the 1970s, winning four Emmys. The series was so successful that ten years after it's demise, 'Columbo' was re-launched, bringing Falk to a new generation of viewers. JUST ONE MORE THING also chronicles the author's more recent work, such as movie appearances in 'A Shark's Tale' and Paul Reiser's 'The Thing About My Folks', as well stories of growing up in New York, Hollywood and Broadway luminaries, and the author's accomplished passion for drawing and painting.
