It was April 15, 1988, when a Santa Barbara radio station reported the discovery of human remains in a campfire pit. The Sheriff's Department suspected foul play. Four hours later there came a second report: it was suicide. ANSWER TO HELL is an unusual work which explores the knotted life of Paul Sgroi, the man who had ingeniously and brutally murdered himself two days earlier. Paul's forty years were a caricature of human delight and despair. Here was a man who lifted himself from poverty and chaos through completion of his education, the establishment of a family, and brilliant success in...

ISBN: 9781434357847 / Angielski / Miękka / 412 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The brain-storm of writing a few of my sea stories and invite others to share theirs as well was planted in my mind during the early 1960's while stationed at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. I love to hear and tell sea stories. Camp Lejeune abounded with guys that not only told their tales over a few beers but also created a few on the spot at the same time. I even managed to create several sea stories in my own right with some of my not so mature antics. Anyway, I thought back then wouldn?t it be a great idea to collect some of those tales under one cover to share with the world. Well, it took...

Quiet Year at War
ISBN: 9780761840275 / Angielski / Miękka / 124 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In war, when must one say No? This question is certainly as gripping now as it was in 1970 when a young infantry sergeant in the U.S. Army was court-martialed for refusing to obey a direct order to participate in the invasion of Cambodia. This book offers a unique, timely mix of narrative excitement and considered reflection on the nature of war. It deals with the daily issues that are constants in combat, and it engages the reader with the larger issues of war that often get overlooked in the exhaustion and confusion of the moment.

Father Duffy's Story
ISBN: 9781605971360 / Angielski / Miękka / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. On one occasion, after having had to swallow an exceptionally large dose of complimentary eloquence, I stated that I was going to borrow a title for my book from my favorite philosopher, Mr. Dooley, and call it "Alone in Europe," The title that has been given it sounds almost as egoistic as that; but there will be found in these pages other names than my own. Indeed, objection may be made from a literary point of view that the book bristles with names. I could not write my story otherwise. I knew these men, and what they did, and my only regret is that I have undoubtedly overlooked some,...

Women Aren't Supposed to Fly: The Memoirs of a Female Flight Surgeon
ISBN: 9780595499588 / Angielski / Miękka / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This irreverent romp through the worlds of medicine and the military is part autobiography, part social history, and part laugh-out-loud comedy. When the author graduated from medical school in 1970, only 7% of America's doctors were women, and very few of those joined the military. She was the second woman ever to do an Air Force internship, the only woman doctor at David Grant USAF Medical Center, and the only female military doctor in Spain. She had to fight for acceptance: even the 3 year old daughter of a patient told her father, "Oh, Daddy That s not a doctor, that's a lady." She was...
