Book Description
A young adult novel recounting the devastation of a victim of Japanese military sexual slavery • The first young adult novel to paint a vivid and realistic depiction of the “comfort women” • The story of the young girls whose bodies and souls were trampled in their blossoming youth as they were dragged from their hometowns across foreign lands from Inner Mongolia and Shanghai, China, to Leyte Island in the Philippines Many are familiar with the history of the “comfort women,” the victims of Japanese military sexual slavery, but how much do they really know? Few fully understand exactly why and how the girls came to be “comfort women,” the scope of the assault they endured at the “comfort stations” set up throughout regions colonized by Japan including Korea, and how they lived out their lives after they returned Korea post-liberation. There are limits to how much of the truth can be exposed to children and teens due to the sensitive nature of the subject, which is why previously published children’s and young adult novels that have attempted to address this tragedy fell short of capturing the actual extent of the damage and suffering. Simply acknowledging the tragedy as a historical fact and fully portraying the depth of reality and pain of the victims are vastly different propositions, which makes the publication of Trampled Blossoms, an honest and vivid depiction of the victims’ accounts of sexual slavery under the Japanese military, all the more meaningful. * This is a work of fiction based on true historical facts, in-person interviews, and testimonies of the “comfort women.” The names and details of certain real persons, places, and incidents have been changed in the novel, and all other characters, places, and events are products of the author’s imagination.

The Paris Game
Author: Ray Argyle
Publisher: Dundurn
ISBN: 1459722884
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 578
Book Description
At a crucial moment in the Second World War, an obscure French general reaches a fateful personal decision: to fight on alone after his government’s flight from Paris and its capitulation to Nazi Germany. Amid the ravages of a world war, three men — a general, a president, and a prime minister — are locked in a rivalry that threatens their partnership and puts the world’s most celebrated city at risk of destruction before it can be liberated. This is the setting of The Paris Game, a dramatic recounting of how an obscure French general under sentence of death by his government launches on the most enormous gamble of his life: to fight on alone after his country’s capitulation to Nazi Germany. In a game of intrigue and double-dealing, Charles de Gaulle must struggle to retain the loyalty of Winston Churchill against the unforgiving opposition of Franklin Roosevelt and the traitorous manoeuvring of a collaborationist Vichy France. How he succeeds in restoring the honour of France and securing its place as a world power is the stuff of raw history, both stirring and engrossing.

SECOND COMING: RETURN OF THE HERD
Author: Lobibah Oji Baraka
Publisher: Lobibah Oji Baraka
ISBN:
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
In his second book, SECOND COMING/Return of the Herd, poet Lobibah Oji Baraka (also known as Gilbert H. Richards) continues his circuitous journey through socio-political and nostalgic spheres with artistic intellect and resonant energy. His poetry has been described as layered, textured, provocative, sensual, reflective, and commemorative. Baraka's persona speaks with an attitude that is genuine and a vibe that is jive. Sometimes fuming, other times funky—but always intriguing and relatable. This book is divided into five sections: Self, Arts, Death, Love, and Society. Baraka writes with a flair for the narrative. His poems possess verbal sophistication that has been described as "sonic deliciousness," while his figurative language is "visually compelling." Second Coming is a culmination of authentic free verse as well as compassionate, reflective prose poetry.
