Going Where They Belong: Stories by Judith Day (.ePUB)
📮 Going Where They Belong: Stories by Judith Day (.ePUB) The nine stories in this collection are told by and about teenagers, mid-lifers, and elders. They are about settled lives and drastically disordered ones, working people, dying people. They are about people you have never met and others you see every day; sometimes, they are people you know very well, people you work and live with. You may find they are about you. Like all of us, the characters are finding their way forward in the face of loss. They are furious and funny, hurtful and helpful. Stumbling and blind, enlightening slowly, they are all going where they belong. Occurring across the years from the 1960’s to 2023, these are American stories about American people. They take us from the banks of an unnamed river to the deserts and mountains of the Southwest, through the streets of St. Louis to the steep forested hills of California’s coastal mountains. These are not plot-driven tales or learning experiences or stories with a moral, but visits into the inner experience of the characters. Humor lives in everyone. Tension arises and eases as it does in life, without pronounced conclusion. After you finish reading each one you are left pensive or smiling, querulous or saddened, often peaceful, always moved—and knowing that you have been taken where you belong. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Judith Day Size 2.1MB Category Fiction > General Fiction/Classics File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/jxEgdzTzAR9t https://devuploads.com/5hbtcqwtt8ai

What We Tried to Bury Grows Here by Julian Zabalbeascoa (.ePUB)
📮 What We Tried to Bury Grows Here by Julian Zabalbeascoa (.ePUB) A masterly crafted and haunting tale of survival, longing, and empathy, set during the Spanish Civil War. In late 1936, eighteen-year-old Isidro Elejalde leaves his Basque village in Northern Spain, spurred to join the fight to preserve his country’s democracy from the insurrectionists by the rousing words of a political essayist. Months earlier, Spanish generals launched a military coup to overthrow Spain’s newly elected left-wing government. They assumed the population would welcome the coup, but throughout the country people like Isidro remained loyal to the ideals of democracy, and the Spanish Civil War began in bloody earnest. In Bilbao, Mariana raises her two young children while, with her writing, she decries the fascist-backed coup attempt and their German and Italian allies, imploring the world to support democracy. As the Nationalist forces assault the country, Mariana and Isidro’s lives intersect fleetingly, yet in meaningful and lasting ways. Through a chorus of voices—a female soldier in an all-male battalion, a reluctant conscript recently emigrated from Cuba, a young girl whose parents have abandoned her in order to fight against the fascists, among others—we follow Isidro and Mariana as they struggle to maintain their humanity in a country determined to tear itself apart. Julian Zabalbeascoa is a fierce and assured new talent, and What We Tried to Bury Grows Here is a remarkable feat of research and imagination, as well as a transcendent literary accomplishment. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Julian Zabalbeascoa Size 1.8MB Category Fiction > General Fiction/Classics File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/dqAYzzDrotZ6 https://devuploads.com/ua1mdtqogfpt

True, but Irrelevant by William Peter Grasso (.ePUB)
📮 True, but Irrelevant by William Peter Grasso (.ePUB) In this seventh novel of the series, the Vietnam War odyssey of Captain Jif Miles, US Army, continues as he returns to the war twice, serving tours in 1971 and 1972 as a MACV evaluator and advisor to the Army of the Republic of Vietnam, the ARVN. Despite the administrative sound of the job title, his new mission is a perilous struggle to make the American political panacea of Vietnamization actually succeed, shifting all combat operations to the ARVN as US political will evaporates and its combat forces depart, never to return. Jif is constantly forced into the role of combatant and ad hoc commander, as much of the ARVN officer corps repeatedly collapses under pressure. It’s no secret that the hands-on American guidance—with its abundant access to devastating airpower—will keep South Vietnam alive a few more years. But repeatedly snatching victory from the jaws of defeat is not enough. At the Paris Peace Talks, that lesson is expressed by a North Vietnamese general who, when told by an American counterpart, You never defeated us in battle, replies,That is true, but it is also irrelevant. For Jif and the brotherhood of career officers, it’s time to heed the lesson while they resurrect the Army from the ashes of Vietnam and rebuild it for the next conflict, wherever that might be. ♻️ Book's Info: Author William Peter Grasso Size 1.7MB Category Fiction > Mystery/Thriller File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/SJ1PHavdshex https://devuploads.com/uwg23wp8yi9b

Battle Elephants And Flaming Foxes by Caroline Freeman-Cuerden(.ePUB)
📮 Battle Elephants And Flaming Foxes by Caroline Freeman-Cuerden(.ePUB) From the hooves of chariot horses pounding the dust of the racetrack to the cries of elephants charging the battlefields, animals were a key part of Roman life. On memorials left to beloved dogs or in images of arena animals hammered onto coins, their stories and roles in Roman history are there for us to find. Why did the emperor Augustus always have a seal skin nearby? What was the most dangerous part of a chariot race? How could a wolf help with toothache? Take a gallop into the Roman world of chariot horses, battle elephants and rampaging rhinos. In the ancient world a bear could be weaponised and venomous snakes could change the course of a battle at sea. If you want to know exactly how to boil a crane (and who doesn't?) or how to use eels to commit murder, the Romans have the answer. They wove animals into poetry, sacrificed them and slaughtered thousands in their arenas, while animal skins reinforced shields and ivory decorated the hilts of their swords. From much-loved dogs to talking ravens, Battle Elephants and Flaming Foxes discovers who the Romans really were through the fascinating relationships they had with the creatures they lived and died alongside. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Caroline Freeman-Cuerden(.Epub) Size 7MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type Battle Elephants And Flaming Foxes by Caroline Freeman-Cuerden(.ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/M5DmuC3iIWpo https://devuploads.com/6pqauu1clxh6

Anzac Mascots by Nigel Allsopp (.ePUB)
📮 Anzac Mascots by Nigel Allsopp (.ePUB) 'The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.' – Mahatma Gandhi Animals have the power to change people's lives. They can be loving, loyal companions that will never judge. In World War I, many Australian and New Zealand units – army, naval and air squadrons – had animal mascots. This thoroughly researched book containing a treasure trove of archival photographs shows that all types of animals served as mascots – a virtual Noah's Ark of animals ranging from dogs and cats, rats and insects to bears and primates, birds and donkeys. Anzac Mascots explores animal mascots, both official and unofficial, that served in World War I, and aims to illustrate their purpose, how they were selected, what happened to them after the war and, finally, the far-reaching effects their prolific use had after the war. This book reveals that people alone did not win World War I; animals played a vital part. Animals, through their unwavering devotion and boundless affection, kept soldiers' spirits high, provided a temporary link to normality and peace, and reminded what they were fighting for – home and country. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Nigel Allsopp Size 7MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/aANDdO7Bpct8 https://devuploads.com/wdytiremzbvm

Dutch Republic in the Seventeenth Century by Maarten Prak (.PDF)
📮 Dutch Republic in the Seventeenth Century by Maarten Prak (.PDF) Rembrandt, Hals and Vermeer are still household names, even though they died over three hundred years ago. In their lifetimes they witnessed the extraordinary consolidation of the newly independent Dutch Republic and its emergence as one of the richest nations on earth. As one contemporary wrote in 1673: the Dutch were 'the envy of some, the fear of others, and the wonder of all their neighbours'. During the Dutch Golden Age, the arts blossomed and the country became a haven of religious tolerance. However, despite being self-proclaimed champions of freedom, the Dutch conquered communities in America, Africa and Asia and were heavily involved in both slavery and the slave trade on three continents. This substantially revised second edition of the leading textbook on the Dutch Republic includes a new chapter exploring slavery and its legacy, as well as a new chapter on language and literature. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Maarten Prak Size 13MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type PDF 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/LcNdjgHnky6q https://devuploads.com/0zckzdwyfpuz

Haig's Intelligence 1916-1918 by Jim Beach (.PDF)
📮 Haig's Intelligence 1916-1918 by Jim Beach (.PDF) Haig's Intelligence is an important study of Douglas Haig's controversial command during the First World War. Based on extensive new research, it addresses a perennial question about the British army on the Western Front between 1916 and 1918: why did they think they were winning? Jim Beach reveals how the British perceived the German army through a study of the development of the British intelligence system, its personnel and the ways in which intelligence was gathered. He also examines how intelligence shaped strategy and operations by exploring the influence of intelligence in creating perceptions of the enemy. He shows for the first time exactly what the British knew about their opponent, when and how and, in so doing, sheds significant new light on continuing controversies about the British army's conduct of operations in France and Belgium and the relationship between Haig and his chief intelligence officer, John Charteris. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Jim Beach Size 7MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type PDF 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/aZzvvYsm7RjH https://devuploads.com/j6eghddxakgb
