【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】THE PHYSIOLOGICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF COMBAT STRESS EXPERIENCED BY THE HEAVY BOMBARDMENT CREWS OF THE EIGHTH AIR FORCE DURING WWII【電子書籍】[ Anthony Cardo ]

＜p＞The Physiological and Psychological Effects of Combat Stress Experienced by the Heavy Bombardment Crews of the Eighth Air Force during WWII offers a unique window into the effects of combat stress as experienced by a select number of men in a select moment of time and one that is unlikely to be experienced again by mankind.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This is not to say that future combat aviators will not experience the unique effects of combat stress, as this is nearly a given (as the record of man's wartime experiences shows) but that the unique environment the men of the Eighth Air Force experienced will likely not be repeated to the same degree going forward.＜/p＞ ＜p＞With that being the most likely case, author and military historian, Anthony Cardo, seeks to also explore what the experiences of the heavy bombardment crews of the Eighth Air Force with the physiological and psychological effects of combat stress have to offer posterity and aims to inspire the reader to ask for themselves what these experiences have to offer posterity.＜/p＞ ＜p＞What this work is not is a clinical study on the bomber crewmen, nor is it meant to be an exhaustive study on the subject. Instead, it is meant to add to the historical discussion by categorizing some of the various physiological and psychological symptoms of combat-induced fear and providing commentary on its significance and relation to the wider literature on the effects of combat stress on human beings.＜/p＞ ＜p＞If the work succeeds in fueling your interest or curiosity on the topic and propels you into further research, then it has at least succeeded in its overall goal: to both raise awareness and the discussion on the topic. I hope you enjoy it as I enjoyed both researching and drafting this work.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Arc Life between Two Unwinnable Wars: WWII and ALS【電子書籍】[ Yuko Heberlein ]

＜p＞"Arc: Life between Two Unwinnable Wars: WWII and ALS" is a memoir by a Japanese woman who was born during WWII and survived the A-bomb in Hiroshima. She grew up amid the aftermath of the unconditional surrender and witnessed how her native country rebuilt itself from a bombed-out wasteland to the world's second economic giant in 20 years. After graduating from Tokyo University of Arts, she came to America as a scholarship student and spent her adult life as a professional violinist. She married a German physicist/engineer who endured a traumatic childhood in WWII Germany. He lost his brother and his father was taken as a POW, consequently dying due to the hardship. Despite their tough beginnings in countries that are 5,500 miles apart, they managed to build successful careers, raise two children together, and enjoy rich and happy lives. This stretch of time the author calls "the Arc" expanded high above their trauma to create a beautiful and expansive circle over their lives. During their 46 years together, however, she witnessed how her husband's childhood exposure to war was even tougher than hers, leaving life-long adverse effects on him, psychologically and physically. Their arcs came to an end when an incurable disease, ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig's disease) afflicted her husband. For 21 months, the author cared for him until his death at home.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Blue Skies, Troubled Waters An American Twin's WWII Odyssey in Minahasa, Indonesia【電子書籍】[ Martha Walandouw Lohn ]

＜p＞Martha Walandouw Lohn and Brian Kimmel's BLUE SKIES, TROUBLED WATERS: An American Twin's WWII Odyssey in Minahasa, Indonesia chronicles the extraordinary journey of twin American girls caught in the chaos of World War II in Japanese-occupied Indonesia. Through the eyes of Martha (nicknamed Ath as a young girl) and her twin sister Kath, we witness the transformation of a peaceful village into a theater of war-where daily survival depended on courage, wit, and the unshakeable bonds of community.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Part historical record, part personal narrative, BLUE SKIES, TROUBLED WATERS succeeds on multiple levels. The memoir balances intimate family drama with major historical events, translating the larger context of World War II through the eyes of a young girl coming of age in extraordinary circumstances. Originally published in 1966, this third edition has been meticulously updated with the help of Lohn's grandson, Brian Kimmel, who contends that those who survive the survivors of atrocities "must learn their stories if their stories, and the lessons embedded within them, are to be remembered and retold."＜/p＞ ＜p＞Lohn's eye for detail brings this historical period to life with some impressive clarity. Whether describing how "stars blazed in the dark sky" or how she "never thought that a paradise like this could turn into a burning hell and a living grave," Lohn crafts scenes that are as historically significant as they are personal. Lohn also explores Minahasan cultural practices and values throughout the book-particularly the concept of mapalus ("working together for each other"), which serves as a powerful metaphor for survival.＜/p＞ ＜p＞While the larger historical moments are certainly powerful, some of the memoir's most affecting moments can be found in the details of Lohn's personal narrative: the American flag hidden in a pillow, the secret garden that becomes both sanctuary and sacrifice, the complex relationships with Japanese soldiers. It's these vivid recollections that transform what could have been a straightforward wartime narrative into a much more nuanced exploration of identity, community, and resilience.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Readers unfamiliar with the geography and cultural context of wartime Indonesia (or history buffs in general) will likely enjoy the extensive supplementary materials. The careful attention to Indonesian language and customs, detailed wartime maps of Minahasa, comprehensive glossary, and previously unpublished family photographs provide invaluable context to Lohn's narrative.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Ultimately, BLUE SKIES, TROUBLED WATERS offers an important look into an otherwise under-explored chapter of World War II history. It's also a story that resonates with today, especially as communities worldwide continue to face displacement and persecution. As Kimmel explains, his grandma's story "is a message of hope in a time of despair. A miraculous feat for all who have experienced similar atrocities."＜/p＞ ＜p＞...A unique perspective on a pivotal moment in history through the eyes of those who lived it, resulting in a history-rich narrative that will appeal to fans of World War II literature and Asian-American narratives alike.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞＜strong＞~James Weiskittel for IndieReader＜/strong＞＜/em＞＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Boys, Just Boys Biography of a WWII Infantry Regiment【電子書籍】[ Brian Welke ]

＜p＞Through the voices of the men who experienced it, Boys, Just Boys relates the story of the 423rd regiment of the 106th Infantry Division during and after the Battle of the Bulge. In mid-December 1944, after rigorous training but no combat experience, the men of the 423rd, along with the rest of the division, arrived in the snows and forested ravines of the Ardennes/Schnee Eifel, the mountains straddling the border between Germany and eastern Belgium. As they dug into their positions, they were assured the Germans no longer posed much threat. A few days later, in the early dawn of December 16, massive German panzer divisions hit the American lines. Positioned at the center of the attack, the 423rd was hit head-on.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Few of the men had seen battle before, and they were vastly outnumbered by the enemy. Many died in the assault, and most of the survivors were taken prisoner. Only a handful of soldiers escaped the Germans; the 423rd was essentially destroyed.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Over 2,500 members of the 423rd were shipped as POWs to the east where they endured unimaginable hardships before the war in Europe ended. They were crushed for days onto trains without food, water, or sanitary facilities; they were herded into camps, where they were starved, beaten, and frozen; and they were sent to arbeitskommando work camps.＜/p＞ ＜p＞While some of the POWs died of disease and sepsis, many died from starvation, overwork, and exposure. Others were killed in Allied bombing and strafing raids, and a few by executions and illegal shootings. Then, in the final months of the war, as the Allies began to close in from east and west, the Germans grew terrified that the conditions of the POW camps and arbeitskommandos would come to light, and they herded the POWs across country on what amounted to death marches.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Boys, Just Boys draws upon the private accounts that some veterans wrote. Years later, the author, Kurt Vonnegut, who was among the POWs housed in Dresden's slaughterhouse and forced to collect the dead from the cellars of the city after the Allied fire bombing, wrote the novel Slaughterhouse-Five. Through eyewitness recollections of his fellow POWs, as well as through records left with Vonnegut's family, Boys, Just Boys reconstructs the whole brutal chain of events.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Boys, Just Boys draws entirely upon the author's personal interviews with surviving veterans of the 423rd and their families, as well as upon their letters and memoirs, their obituaries, and US Army morning reports; each individual soldier in the story is unforgettable. From the prologue to the final page, it is a spellbinding and heartbreaking record of courage, loyalty, and friendship in the face of horror, degradation, and cruelty.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Dying Hard Company B, 39th Infantry Regiment, 9th US Infantry Division in WWII【電子書籍】[ French L. MacLean ]

＜p＞Of the 177 enlisted men who formed Company B in 1941, less than 7% percent were still with the unit in May 1945. Many of the absent 93% had died hard, brutal deaths in combat. In the mold of the classic Band of Brothers, Colonel French MacLean presents a dramatic, personalized history of a single company of the US Army through brutal combat in battles at locations such as Normandy, the Ardennes and H?rtgen Forests, Merode Castle, and Remagen Bridge. This is the story of the 9th Division's 39th Infantry Regiment, Company B, a true American melting pot of soldiers from diverse ethnic, religious, racial, and national backgrounds, including Black, Hispanic, White, Mexican, Lakota, Quechan, Canadian, Cuban, Hungarian, Austrian, Norwegian, Scottish, Korean, Filipino, Chinese, Italian, Irish, Greek, Polish, Jewish, Catholic, and Protestant. Of the 177 enlisted men who formed Company B in 1941, less than 7% percent were still with the unit in May 1945. Many of the 93% whose lives were lost died hard, brutal deaths in combat. Readers will learn about the heritage, upbringing, and experiences of individual soldiers along with the history of the unit. This is a personal, dramatic history. Numerous "vignettes" appear throughout the text, which provide contextual information about equipment, terminology, locations, and more. They function like a glossary, but with greater detail and narrative effect. In total, 40 photos and 10 maps are included, most of which are previously unpublished. French MacLean is a retired colonel in the US Army and author of more than a dozen books on the Second World War; he is a recognized expert and experienced researcher. His father, Myron, served as a private in Company B.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞"...exciting in its detail and well-illustrated with historic photographs. It has welcome mini-biographies of many of the participants of RYPE at the end of the book." ー The Norwegian American To prevent German occupying forces in Norway from reinforcing their defenses during the final months of World War II, the Office of Strategic Services launched Operation Rype, with the mission of sabotaging the Nordland Railway in Mid-Norway. Rype was led by Major William E. Colby, later director of the CIA. After several delays, the Norwegian Special Operations Group (NORSO) dropped over the Sn?sa mountains on the night of March 24. Out of eight B-24s, only three dropped on target. One dropped in Sweden, the remaining four returned to Britain. Two of the B-24s crashed, killing all but one of their crews. Reinforcement and resupply of the unit failed due to extreme Arctic conditions. Relying heavily on help from the Norwegian resistance, NORSO managed to sever the railway at two points. On both occasions, they withdrew with Germans hot on their tail. On May 2, a German patrol blundered into their camp, resulting in the killing of all of the Germans and one wounded Norwegian resistance fighter. Whether the Germans were killed in the ensuing firefight, or were executed later, has been hotly debated ever since. After the war ended, NORSO was allowed down from the mountains, but were sent on bogus missions by the British commanders in Trondheim. They eventually managed to get recognition for their contribution to victory. This new history of the operation is based on German, Norwegian, American and Swedish sources. It examines how the outcome of the operation was affected by the limitations of equipment in sub-Arctic conditions, and British-American rivalry and cooperation throughout the operation.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Letters from a WAAC is a woman's historical World War II Memoir created from an actual collection of letters and Vmail. Wanda served in the 149th WAAC Post Hq. Co., the first group of Womens Auxiliary Army Corps (WAAC) during World War II to be sent overseas. "Strictly G.I." is a phrase my grandmother used to describe herself. She advanced quickly in the ranks, and shared her proudest moments in the letters, beginning with her initial training in Des Moines to marches before the general in North Africa. She also shares more humorous moments and interesting observations.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Here is a quote from one Vmail:＜/p＞ ＜p＞"We have a radio in our "room" and whenever we get a short wave station from the states, it makes a person stop and think. You don't know ? you can't possibly know what war really is ? in all reality."＜/p＞ ＜p＞These historical letters have been transcribed in chronological order. Also included are a forward and "postscript" from Wanda's grandaughter. The letters have never been published until now. The letters document Wanda's training in 1942 at Fort Des Moines, Iowa to the dispatch of her unit overseas to French North Africa. Wanda's portrayal of life as a teletypist is lively and descriptive. The letters also record her perspective of the media's portrayal of the WAACs. Also unfolding in the letters is her concern for her male counterparts, and her growing affection for one special soldier.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Women in America will be inspired Wanda's witt and resilience. Unlike servicemen, the auxiliaries could not receive overseas pay or government life insurance. If they became sick or wounded, they would not receive veterans' hospitalization. If they were killed, their parents received no death gratuity.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Enjoy this first person account of WWII from the perspective of a hard-working and very human female soldier.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Two Royal Diplomas【電子書籍】[ King of Poland Wladyslaw III ]

＜p＞These two works are formal decrees by King Wladislaus of Hungary and Poland, granting privileges to the village of Nowotaniec, specifically the village of Lubothancze. The king elevates the village to a town governed by Magdeburg law, allowing for the establishment of markets and granting full autonomy from local authorities. The decree exempts the citizens from the jurisdiction of kingdom officials, enabling them to be judged by their own representatives. The second text serves as a historical record of the restoration of the Eastern Church of the Greek and Ruthenian Rite to the Roman Catholic jurisdiction. It emphasizes the importance of divine worship, the honor of sacred edifices, and the peaceful union of the faithful. The decree grants rights, liberties, and property restoration to the clergy of the Greek and Ruthenian Rite, ensuring their jurisdiction is respected and protected from interference by secular authorities. The document aims to enhance the spiritual well-being of the faithful and secure the future of the church within the kingdom.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
