Bo's Warriors by Frank Lieberman Pdf

A giant tsunami hit the staid Ann Arbor campus of the University of Michigan in 1969 when it was announced that Glenn Edward "Bo" Schembechler was to be the new head football coach, replacing the beloved Bump Elliott. Efforts to pronounce the last name correctly came in response to thousands of questioners asking "Bo who?" but it didn't take long before his name and the Wolverines' resurrected football fortunes were the talk not only of the town, but of the hundreds of thousands of Michigan alumni across the country and around the world. Bo's Warriors is the story of that man and the moribund football program he revived. Bo won a school record 194 games while losing only 48 and never had a losing season. His Michigan teams won or shared the Big Ten title 13 times and made 10 Rose Bowl appearances. In 1968 under Elliott, archrival Ohio State had pounded the Wolverines 50-14, and to add insult to injury, Buckeye coach Woody Hayes went for a two point conversion late in the game rather than kicking the extra point. When asked why he went for two, Hayes is said to have replied, "because I couldn't go for three." The next year, Bo's first as coach, the defending national champion Buckeyes were 17 point favorites, but the 7-2 Wolverines dominated Ohio State and beat them 24-12. In a single afternoon, Schembechler had resurrected Michigan's proud football tradition and returned the program to the country's elite. Bo's Warriors is the story of Bo's first year as coach, seen through the eyes of several players and one assistant coach, and making the excitement of that historic season come alive.

Warriors in the Crossfire by Nancy Bo Flood Pdf

This gripping historical novel is set on the tiny island of Saipan, which the Japanese had long governed, near the end of World War II. Thirteen-year-old Joseph, the son of a local village chief, and his half-Japanese best friend, Kento, have their loyalties tested when U.S. troops arrive and one of the bloodiest battles in the Pacific war is fought. Caught in the crossfire between the Americans and Japanese, the boys learn what it really means to be a warrior. The novel is based on historical facts, and an afterword describes the real-life account of what happened on Saipan—the unimaginable horrors of what is now called Suicide Cliff.

Riverace... Cold Warrior by Thomas J. Highstreet Pdf

They called him Chief. After almost seventeen years in the United States Navy, the United States Army wanted him for duty in Vietnam. A lifetime of an association with boats from Chris Craft in his home town in Michigan, to years at sea and ashore with the Navy, he was now about to jump to the Officer level in the Army from a non-commissioned petty officer rank in the Navy. But boats would continue to be the major factor in his life as he also moved from Cold Warrior to Hot Warrior in an advisory role fro the South Vietnamese, and along the rivers and marshes and jungle of an Asian country at war. There would be live ammunition and dead soldiers, but Thomas J. Highstreet, Warrant Officer 1, wasn't going to waste his energy as a newly appointed warrant officer on matters not within his control. He had only a few years left in his military career and had no intention of allowing them to slip by without a total commitment to the duty he had accepted. He fully believed he would not die trying, he would live doing. He was ready, and, he would survive. He was a warrior.
