＜p＞In 1940, Private Raymond Bailey, a 21 year old Vauxhall motors apprentice, serving with the 1st Kensington Regiment, was captured in Northern France, becoming a Nazi prisoner of war.

All that keeps him going is his youthful energy, unfailing optimism, and the kindness of strangers who risk their own safety to help him.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Ray's escape is remarkable, but so too is his memoir. It was written within a year or two of the events it describes, when Ray was just 22, and despite Ray's obvious writing talent it was lost for decades until it was discovered at auction in an unmarked box of WWII memorabilia by David Wilkins. Ray's is a true unheard voice, and one of the last from this time.＜/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＞After my father passed away, we discovered two handwritten journals that he had painstakingly maintained during the six years he spent in WWll. When the war broke out he was an engineer aboard an oil tanker in the British Merchant Navy. The first diary describes harrowing convoy trips across the Atlantic Ocean in severe weather while zigzagging to avoid U-boat attacks. Losses of ships and merchant sailors were very high. Despite all this, my father displayed amazing empathy for the German sailors in U-boats as they were being depth-charged by convoy escort ships.＜/p＞ ＜p＞My father then joined the Royal Air Force (RAF) in 1941. In 1943 he was sent to the Middle East, and the second journal describes a 13-week voyage aboard a troopship, including a near mutiny by rowdy troops, which he describes with detached humour. He spends time in RAF bases in Iraq and then Libya, and travels through the location of previous fierce battles at El Alamein and Tobruk. I have supplemented my father's journals with research to place some of his observations within the broader context of WWll.＜/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＞Leo Litwak was a university student when he joined the Army to fight in World War II, "a na've, callow eighteen-year-old son prepared to join other soldier boys being hauled off to war." In 1944 he found himself in Belgium, in the middle of the waning European war, a medic trained to save lives but often powerless to do much more than watch life slip away. It was hard fighting that took Litwak and his rifle company into the heart of Germany at the close of the war. But Litwak learned there was more to war than fighting, more to understand than maps and ammunition.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In the final months of the war, he watched the men in his company tenderly serve food at a Passover seder for a dozen brutalized Jewish women newly liberated from slavery. He watched those same men torture and execute defenseless German soldiers. He fell in love at the Moulin Rouge in a scene straight out of a Toulouse-Lautrec painting.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The men in his company were dreamers, thieves, friends, killers, revolutionaries, and heroes. They were the men of their time: sometimes brave, sometimes compassionate, sometimes cruel, sometimes loving, usually scared. They were held together by loyalty, only to be scattered by the war's end. ＜em＞The Medic＜/em＞ is the gritty, wise, bighearted, and unflinching account of one man's quest to find sense in war and its aftermath.＜/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！】Heart on Her Sleeve: A Golden Age Mystery Classic The Women of WWII Mysteries【電子書籍】[ Clarence Budington Kelland ]

＜p＞＜strong＞An Outstanding Golden Age Mystery Classic & One Of The Most Important Books About Women Of World War Ii!＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞"Bright and breezy sabotage and romance with plus appeal for murder-mystery-spy addicts. S.E.P." Kirkus Reviews＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Not long after the bombing of Pearl Harbor and U.S. entry into the Second World War, the government realized the draft would seriously deplete the country's entire workforce, including entry-level labor, skilled trades, office staff and management. The only possible replacement was to be found in the ranks of the nation's women. But for women to join the workforce, major changes would have to occur.Traditionally characterized as an emotional and caregiving labor forceーhomemakers, mothers, nurses, teachers and the likeーwomen would have to adopt a whole new view of themselves and their capacities (as would men of them), and quickly. In a world without TV or internet, a radical revisioning of woman's capabilities would have to be promulgated via radio, newspapers and magazines. So the U.S. government called together leading writers and journalists, asking them to help by printing and broadcasting stories, novels, and factual reports supporting the heretical notion that women could make great factory and office workersーand even run those factories and officesーwithout losing their "natural" urge to be homemakers, mothers, and wives.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This effort "to recruit women into the labor force," as Nancy F. Cott writes in Women and War, was the "major propaganda campaign" directed toward American women during World War II. "To make war jobs look attractive … magazines published romances in which women who entered defense industries found fulfillment in performing work for the nation." In such tales, the heroines "were rewarded for their dedication to difficult jobs with admiration from their communities and love from desirable men."＜/p＞ ＜p＞This campaign began in the May 29, 1943 Saturday Evening Post with a two-part kick-off: exploding from the cover, Norman Rockwell's overpowering, goddess-proportioned painting of Rosie the Riveter in overalls, with a touch of lipstick and blush, a rivet gun balanced across her thighs, a look of unflappable nonchalance, the Stars and Stripes unfurled behind her, and a copy of Mein Kampf crushed beneath her feet. And, to her left, boxed text beckoned readers to discover the initial installment of "A New Kelland SerialーHeart on Her Sleeve." The story of a patriotic American college girl who steps up to run her father's war plant; and when he is hospitalized by saboteurs takes the running of the company on her own shoulders.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Heart on Her Sleeve was the first novel written and published in response to the government's request that "authors portray women war workers as enthusiastic defenders of democracy" and "bring out the spiritual satisfaction of serving the common cause.""This book will make you laugh and giggle, it will also make you start in horror and shudder, and it will wrap up nicely and sweetly. A lovely mystery!"＜/p＞ ＜p＞"It [is Fall 1942 and] young Miss Andree Senlac arrives home fresh from college with a diploma. She is surprised she graduated, and contemplating her mental faculties, wondering if she is brilliant, or semi-smart, or maybe stupid and was just lucky. If any smarts are to be had, she must keep it a secret and pretend to be naive and a fluttering butterfly, for any girl who is smart must hide it. Stepping on the platform to greet her dear parents, who own [a small factory helping produce the shells for bombs], she also spies a homely but striking man in Navy uniform ? and here the merry lark begins. He detests redheads. She is out to prove he loves them ? well, one of them.

＜p＞＜strong＞Alan Axelrod's ＜em＞Lost Destiny＜/em＞ is a rare exploration of the origin of today's controversial military drones as well as a searing and unforgettable story of heroism, WWII, and the Kennedy dynasty that might have been.＜/strong＞＜br /＞ On August 12, 1944, Lieutenant Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr., heir to one of America's most glamorous fortunes, son of the disgraced former ambassador to Great Britain, and big brother to freshly minted PT-109 hero JFK, hoisted himself up into a highly modified B-24 Liberator bomber. The munitions he was carrying that day were fifty percent more powerful than TNT.＜br /＞ Kennedy's mission was part of Operation Aphrodite/Project Anvil, a desperate American effort to rescue London from a rain of German V-1 and V-2 missiles. The decision to use these bold but crude precursors to modern-day drones against German V-weapon launch sites came from Air Corps high command. Lieutenant General Jimmy Doolittle, daring leader of the spectacular 1942 Tokyo Raid, and others concocted a plan to install radio control equipment in "war-weary" bombers, pack them with a dozen tons of high explosives, and fly them by remote control directly into the concrete German launch sitesーtargets too hard to be destroyed by conventional bombs.＜br /＞ The catch was that live pilots were needed to get these flying bombs off the ground and headed toward their targets. Joe Jr. was the first naval aviator to fly such a mission. Andーin the biggest manmade explosion before Hiroshimaーit killed him.＜/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。
