Book Description
A young man from rural Korea is conscripted to fight the Communists in Vietnam. He just wants to go home alive, but the idea of killing enemy soldiers to save himself triggers deep questions about life and faith. He sees soldiers around him die from accidents, from friendly fire, from drinking and from carelessness. It seems like death is around every corner, and yet he believes that God is with him. God saves him from falling out of a helicopter, from being shot at point blank range by the enemy and from multiple potentially fatal mishaps, but why? There must be a reason. There must be something he can do to repay God for protecting his life. Even amidst the suffering and cruelty, there must be a way to turn this war into a battle for love and peace.

Waging Peace in Vietnam
Author: Ron Carver
Publisher: New Village Press
ISBN: 1613321074
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
How American soldiers opposed and resisted the war in Vietnam While mainstream narratives of the Vietnam War all but marginalize anti-war activity of soldiers, opposition and resistance from within the three branches of the military made a real difference to the course of America’s engagement in Vietnam. By 1968, every major peace march in the United States was led by active duty GIs and Vietnam War veterans. By 1970, thousands of active duty soldiers and marines were marching in protest in US cities. Hundreds of soldiers and marines in Vietnam were refusing to fight; tens of thousands were deserting to Canada, France and Sweden. Eventually the US Armed Forces were no longer able to sustain large-scale offensive operations and ceased to be effective. Yet this history is largely unknown and has been glossed over in much of the written and visual remembrances produced in recent years. Waging Peace in Vietnam shows how the GI movement unfolded, from the numerous anti-war coffee houses springing up outside military bases, to the hundreds of GI newspapers giving an independent voice to active soldiers, to the stockade revolts and the strikes and near-mutinies on naval vessels and in the air force. The book presents first-hand accounts, oral histories, and a wealth of underground newspapers, posters, flyers, and photographs documenting the actions of GIs and veterans who took part in the resistance. In addition, the book features fourteen original essays by leading scholars and activists. Notable contributors include Vietnam War scholar and author, Christian Appy, and Mme Nguyen Thi Binh, who played a major role in the Paris Peace Accord. The book originates from the exhibition Waging Peace, which has been shown in Vietnam and the University of Notre Dame, and will be touring the eastern United States in conjunction with book launches in Boston, Amherst, and New York.

Waging Heavy Peace
Author: Neil Young
Publisher: Penguin UK
ISBN: 0670921718
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 419
Book Description
Neil Young is a singular figure in the history of rock and pop culture generally in the last four decades. Reflective, insightful and disarmingly honest, in Waging Heavy Peacehe writes about his life and career. From his youth in Canada to his first band's travels across the US seeking fame and girls, through Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills & Nash, to his massively successful solo career and his re-emergence as the patron saint of grunge on to his role today as one of the last uncompromised and uncompromising survivors of rock 'n' roll - this is Neil's story told in his own words. In the book Young presents a kaleidoscopic view of personal life and musical creativity; it's a journey that spans the snows of Ontario to the LSD-laden boulevards of 1966 Los Angeles to the contemplative paradise of Hawaii today. 'I think I will have to use my time wisely and keep my thoughts straight if I am to succeed and deliver the cargo I so carefully have carried thus far to the outer reaches. Not that it's my only job or task. I have others, too. Sacred things that I need to protect from pain and hardship, like careless remarks on an open mind.' Neil Young from Waging Heavy Peace

Book Description
<..The Scenario… The Central Theme..> A Fiction Novel on World Power Politics. A novel of action, adventure,suspense, political and war fiction. The novel has been written in the context of present day fast changing political scenario of the world. Most important international burning issues have been touched in this novel in the most skillful and careful manner. Shall this peace seeking world ever reach the point of the lasting peace..? There is destruction of all anti-peace world forces in attempt to convert this world into a peaceful world. All nations live peacefully in the long run. People respect each other’s religious, territorial limits and social taboo. This novel is an action and adventure based fiction and an attempt to make this world as a joint peaceful global village free of discriminations of caste and racial and Islamic and non-Islamic biases. The author seems to stress upon the fact that discriminations of this sort are very fatal for the restoration of world peace. Unless this discrimination is not completely finished it is almost impossible to convert this world into one peaceful global Village. It is an English version of Urdu novel "Tuloo e Amn" Published in Pakistan in 2003. Author of both versions; Dr Hafiz Shahid Amin.Pakistan From the time this universe came into being to this time, the world encounters perils of different hues everywhere and every time. A few super powers have divided comity of nations of the world into groups to serve their narrow ends. The developed countries have been trying to prevail over developing and under-developed countries. Those powerful enjoying countries have always shown hegemony in dealing with weaker states rather than to share their blessings in the love for humanity. This trend poses a serious threat to world peace. All the states are fearful of hegemonic attitude of super powers. They fear that undesirable prohibitions shall be imposed by super powers any time on them and these weaker nations could be proceeded against on fake charges of defiance. The oppressed people are getting more and more oppressed and oppressors have more free hands to subdue weaker states. Human values are being freely flouted. It is in this context that I have written this novel. I have tried to suggest ways and means for securing peace and promoting amity among all nations so that people can lead a peaceful and prosperous life without discrimination of Caste and race and territory. I pray to Allah Almighty that my efforts may bear fruit. All nations live peacefully in the long run. People respect each other’s religious, territorial limits and social taboo. It ia an attempt to make this world as a joint peaceful global village free of discriminations of caste and racial and Islamic and non-Islamic biases. The author seems to stress upon the fact that discriminations of this sort are very fatal for the restoration of world peace. Unless this discrimination is not completely finished it is almost impossible to convert this world into one peaceful global Village. <> *** A 9 Points World Peace Formula *** In the end of Novel all Nations agree on these Points; 1... that all countries shall respect other countries and refrain from interfering in the internal affairs of other countries. 2... that all countries shall wind up and disband their secret agencies. 3... that all countries shall dismiss and terminate their respective armed forces so that huge expenses made in the name of defense could be used for welfare of people. 4… that all countries shall lift bans of visit visas so that people can come and go in any part of the world freely. 5... that the developed countries shall take along and help developing countries and underdeveloped countries. 6... that people of all countries shall enjoy complete freedom of religion and every body shall be free to offer prayer to Allah Almighty as he wished. 7... that all countries shall exercise strict control over growing sexual liberties and shall prohibit advertisements about sex, sex enhancing all kinds of literature like novels, sexy films, and the most dangerous weapon of mass destruction the INTERNET SEX. 8... only one and same currency shall remain in circulation and use all over the world. 9... all banks and financial institutions will commence interest free banking.
