Boots on the Ground
Author: Elizabeth Partridge

Category : Young Adult Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
★ "Partridge proves once again that nonfiction can be every bit as dramatic as the best fiction."* America's war in Vietnam. In over a decade of bitter fighting, it claimed the lives of more than 58,000 American soldiers and beleaguered four US presidents. More than forty years after America left Vietnam in defeat in 1975, the war remains controversial and divisive both in the United States and abroad. The history of this era is complex; the cultural impact extraordinary. But it's the personal stories of eight people—six American soldiers, one American military nurse, and one Vietnamese refugee—that create the heartbeat of Boots on the Ground. From dense jungles and terrifying firefights to chaotic helicopter rescues and harrowing escapes, each individual experience reveals a different facet of the war and moves us forward in time. Alternating with these chapters are profiles of key American leaders and events, reminding us of all that was happening at home during the war, including peace protests, presidential scandals, and veterans' struggles to acclimate to life after Vietnam. With more than one hundred photographs, award-winning author Elizabeth Partridge's unflinching book captures the intensity, frustration, and lasting impacts of one of the most tumultuous periods of American history. *Kirkus Reviews, starred review of Marching for Freedom

Book Description
Four years. Four lives changed forever. November 1914 When Freddie Chevalier's best friend, Charles, joins the cavalry and sets off to fight in the Great War he can't help feeling he's missing out. Until the war he enjoyed his bucolic existence working on his parent's farm on the island of Jersey, but now he yearns for excitement. He's always harboured a secret passion for Charles' fiancee, Meri. She's 'The Girl'. The one he loves but can't have. Nothing compares to the guilt he feels when Meri comes to stay at his home on her way to France and he betrays Charles in the worst possible way. Can Freddie and Meri keep Charles from ever discovering what happened between them? Will Freddie ever notice Charles' younger sister, Lexi? And how will they all react when one of them is almost killed and has to cope with a life-changing injury? One thing is for certain, none of them knows the other as well as they thought. Each will be forced to take charge of their lives and find ways to live with the consequences of the choices that they and others have made. And by November 1918 everything they thought of as familiar will have vanished."

Mrs. Dalloway
Author: Virginia Woolf
Publisher: Good Press
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 196
Book Description
Mrs Dalloway, Virginia Woolf's fourth novel, offers the reader an impression of a single June day in London in 1923. Clarissa Dalloway, the wife of a Conservative member of parliament, is preparing to give an evening party, while the shell-shocked Septimus Warren Smith hears the birds in Regent's Park chattering in Greek. There seems to be nothing, except perhaps London, to link Clarissa and Septimus. She is middle-aged and prosperous, with a sheltered happy life behind her; Smith is young, poor, and driven to hatred of himself and the whole human race. Yet both share a terror of existence, and sense the pull of death. The world of Mrs Dalloway is evoked in Woolf's famous stream of consciousness style, in a lyrical and haunting language which has made this, from its publication in 1925, one of her most popular novels.
