He shares what he has learned in recent years, and explains how ham radio has evolved and lived on amidst smartphones, PCs, and the Internet.

Victory in Defeat by Gregory Urwin Pdf

Told here for the first time in vivid detail is the story of the defenders of Wake Island following their surrender to the Japanese on December 23, 1941. The highly regarded military historian Gregory Urwin spent decades researching what happened and now offers a revealing look at the U.S. Marines, sailors, soldiers, and civilian volunteers in captivity. In addition to exhaustive archival research, he interviewed dozens of POWs and even some of their Japanese captors. He also had access to diaries secretly kept by the prisoners. This information has allowed Urwin to provide a nuanced look at the Japanese guards and how the Americans survived three-and-a-half years in captivity and emerged with a much lower death rate than most other Allies captured in the Pacific. In part, Urwin says, the answer lies in the Wake Islanders’ establishment of life-saving communities that kept their dignity intact. Their mutual-help networks encouraged those who faltered under the physical and psychological torture, including what is today called water boarding. The book notes that the Japanese camp official responsible for that war crime was sentenced to life imprisonment by an American military tribunal. Most spent the war at a camp just outside Shanghai, one of the few places where Japanese authorities permitted the Red Cross to aid prisoners of war. The author also calls attention to the generosity of civilians in Shanghai, including Swiss diplomats and the American and British residents of the fabled International Settlement, who provided food and clothing to the prisoners. In addition, some of the guards proved to be less vicious than those stationed at other POW camps and occasionally went out of their way to aid the men. As the first historical work to fully explore the captivity of Wake Island’s defenders, the book offers information not found in other World War II historie

2049 by M. D. James E. Davis Pdf

The United States is winning the war on terror, most days. We will continue to do so, until the day we declare victory, or turn the battle over to the governments of the countries hosting these wars. It is uncertain what will happen after that. There is a good chance that terror will resurface sometime, and that battle may again take place in our own backyard. The future enemy may well have better resources and advanced weapons. North Korea is testing missles that could reach our shores. Nuclear weapons will likely spread to many nations in the not too distant future. This story suggests what might happen to some of our grandchildren, if that battle is fought in 2049. Will Jennifer Burton and Brad Hoolihan claim victory, or will it require something more, to bring lasting peace to a war torn world?
