No matter what else was going on in his life or where he was--travelling to make movies for G.E., in the California governor's office, at the White House, or on Air Force One, and sometimes even from across the room--Ronald Reagan wrote letters to Nancy Reagan, to express his love, thoughts, and feelings, and to stay in touch. Through letters and reflections, the characters, personalities, and private lives of a president and his first lady are revealed. Nancy Reagan comments on the letters and writes with love and insight about her husband and the many phases of their life together.
World War II, with its multiple fronts, its massive battles, its appalling death toll, and its far-reaching consequences, continues to fascinate historians and the general public. More than 50 years after the war's end, new details and compelling stories are still coming to light. Many are being published in MHQ: The Quarterly Journal of Military History.
Drawn from the pages of that award-winning, authoritative journal, nine vivid essays reveal little-known facts and events from both the European and Asian theaters. W.A.B. Douglas explains how the Nazis established a post in North American to obtain current weather information, an enormous advantage in battles. William H. Whyte gives an eyewitness account of patrolling Guadalcanal as a junior Marine officer. George Feifer describes Joseph Goebbels's race to complete one final motion picture for the Reich before its fall. Other renowned historians take us from Europe to the Asian theater, bringing the war and its key events to life.
Hit movies including Saving Private Ryan, Pearl Harbor, and Enemy at the Gates, as well as bestselling books such as D-Day June 6, 1944 and Blind Man's Bluff have sparked a revival of interest in World War II history among all ages. This second set of essays from No End Save Victory will find a large and appreciative audience eager to learn more about his most crucial of 20th-century conflicts.
From the acclaimed author of Mother of Pearl comes the story of Chalktown, an eerily quiet village in George County, Mississippi, where folks communicate with one another solely through chalkboards hanging from their front porches. Sixteen-year-old Hezekiah Sheehand lives down the road with his reckless sister, Arena, his mentally disabled younger brother, Yellababy, and their often cruel mother, Susan-Blair, whose husband has abandoned the family. The mystery of Chalktown calls to Hez, and one day he sets out with Yellababy strapped to his back, determined to divine the key to the chalk. Meanwhile, his family confronts a tragedy that just might pave an unexpected road toward a hopeful future.
