Pages : 286
Book Description
Do ancient curses actually exist? Are there really such things as haunted bogs, ghosts, wayward spirits, the "Skin Walker"? Science and logic repeatedly say not. However, if you search these topics on your computer, you'll find countless videos and stories that cannot be explained any other way. Sure, some are fake, most of them maybe. But some indicate that there is more out there than we realize. Those who manage to find their way out of the haunted woods report life-changing experiences, often rife with regret. What they saw or heard can never be "unseen". "Whispers From The Haunted Woods" takes the reader into the realm of the unknown. Hidden in the north Georgia forests lie graves, remnants, faint traces of habitation, evidence that someone was there before the white settlers first came to North America. Places long forgotten and undisturbed. Ask the locals and they will tell you why they give these areas a wide berth. Something there could still be alive and active. Something that wants to be left alone. This is the story of a group of Boy Scouts gone rogue. Seeking an ill-gotten lost treasure, ignoring the danger signs, they decide to go off the main trail into the unknown of the deep woods. What they find, and, more importantly, what finds them, gives credence to the local's fears. Are ancient curses real? Yes they are!

But we loved that old ROOSEVELT & when he signed that Order 8802 a whole bunch of us got in the service. But you see I didn't trust them too much, & there was a lot of money to be made with all the work that the war caused. I just met this old girl that came up here from New Orleans, because, well, I thought that she was dirt poor & came up to make some money & find a husband. She was the prettiest thing that we ever seen around here, & we started courting almost as soon as she got off the bus ( he chuckled to himself). "Her name was Antoinette. She had the softest light real near white skin that I had ever seen even on white folks, long Black shining hair, and a very pretty smile, you see. She loved to laugh, a&nd I did as much as I could to make her laugh. If she wanted a clown, I sure damned was going to be one. She always spoke in a near whisper in that half French way that they speak down there in the French Quarter down there, & sometimes we didn't know what the hell she was talking about. But she was so damned pretty that I really didn't care since she was my girl. Hell, after a couple of weeks of being together, she started talking that talk to me & whatever she was saying sounded so good to me that I was agreeing all over myself! "She got so excited that we didn't go to see the show like we was suppose to & spent the night together. We made good music that night, if you know what I mean? That was the summer of forty-three, and I was so happy that I didn't know what to do with myself. The next morning she told me that she had to send her Mama a telegram to let her know that we was coming down so she could meet me & show me off to her family. "That's when I realized that the woman was talking about marriage! Well, I tell you that I was scared to death, because I never thought about marrying her or anybody else at the time, you see! But she was such a pretty thing that I said to myself "BOY, AS UGLY AS YOU ARE, YOU AIN'T GOING TO DO MUCH BETTER."

Pages : 155
Book Description
Book Description The book is a varied collection of eighteen stories all very different. The connecting feature for them is that they are all about Panjabis’. Sometimes the backdrop for them is the Panjab, the land of the five rivers, and at other times it is England where the Punjabis made their second home. The stories feature secret love and betrayal. There is murder and retribution. Old age, loneliness, substance abuse, mental illness and the everyday struggle for survival all feature in the stories. Running alongside all this is humour, happiness and hope. One of the stories contains an emotional plea from a sister to a brother using the only means at her disposal to let him know her true feelings. The human capacity to show tolerance and compassion never ceases to surprise. There are stories where funny quirks in childhood develop into serious mental illness. Some of the tales have unexpected twists at the end, others leave you with many questions and baffling mysteries unsolved. Some illustrate how hard it is to accept tragedy as part of your destiny and demonstrate strong desire to manipulate the future. There are characters that display a quiet dignity in the face of intense provocation. Others have short fuses that lead to unexpected explosions. All the stories are of human interest and some have a historical significance. Most of all they are a window into a world far away and fast disappearing. The Panjabi culture is in transition and although change is inevitable it is accelerated by the infusion of the second culture. The travellers who straddle both become victims of circumstance something they never envisaged when they started their journeys.

We Few
Author: Nick Brokhausen
Publisher: Open Road Media
ISBN: 1504008197
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 391
Book Description
A Green Beret’s gripping memoir of American Special Forces in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War. In 1970, on his second tour to Vietnam, Nick Brokhausen served in Recon Team Habu, CCN. Officially, it was known as the Studies and Observations group. In fact, this Special Forces squad, which Brokhausen calls “an unwashed, profane, ribald, joyously alive fraternity,” undertook some of the most dangerous and suicidal reconnaissance missions ever in the enemy-controlled territory of Cambodia and Laos. But they didn’t infiltrate the jungles alone. They fought alongside the Montagnards—oppressed minorities from the mountain highlands, trained by the US military in guerilla tactics, armed, accustomed to the wild, and fully engaged in a war against the North Vietnamese. Together this small unit formed the backbone of ground reconnaissance in the Republic of Vietnam, racking up medals for valor—but at a terrible cost. “In colorful, military-jargon-laced prose leavened by gallows humor, Brokhausen pulls few punches describing what it was like to navigate remote jungle terrain under the constant threat of enemy fire. A smartly written, insider’s view of one rarely seen Vietnam War battleground.” —Booklist “[An] exceptionally raw look at the Vietnam War just at the apex of its unpopularity. . . . This battle-scarred memoir is an excellent tribute to the generation that fought, laughed, and died in Southeast Asia.” —New York Journal of Books

Pages : 217
Book Description
“[An] exceptionally raw look at the Vietnam War . . . an excellent tribute to the generation that fought, laughed, and died in Southeast Asia.” —New York Journal of Books This is the second volume of a Green Beret’s riveting memoir of his time serving in Recon Teams Habu and Crusader, CNN, part of Military Assistance Command, Vietnam—Studies and Observations Group (MACV-SOG). Picking up where We Few left off, Whispers in the Tall Grass opens as the war moves into a new phase. The enemy are using special formations to hunt recon teams and missions are now rarely accomplished without heavy contact. Despite the teams’ careful prep, losses are mounting. More and more missions are extracted by Bright Lights until eventually classic recon missions are almost impossible, and the teams briefly trial HALO insertion. Finally, as the US prepares to withdraw, the teams undertake back-to-back missions directing air strikes and disrupting supply lines to ease the pressure on the ARVN. Broken by the pace, but desperate not to leave the Yards, Brokhausen is ordered to out-process, his request for extension denied, and is forced to leave his friends—his brothers—behind. Written in the same vivid, immediate style that made We Few a cult classic, Whispers in the Tall Grass follows Habu, Crusader and other teams as they undertake missions in this new, deadlier phase of the war. The narrative veers from hair-raising to tragic and back as the teams insert into hot targets, act as Bright Light for stricken teams, and play hard in between missions to diffuse the ever-rising tension. “Brokhausen tells all in a masterfully gonzo style of reporting and recollection shaped by clever gallows humor.” —Booklist
