I Was There When It Happened by Jimmy Lee Beasley Sr. Pdf

Memories of havoc and bloodshed during the Second World War, as seen through eyes of the people who experienced it for themselves... Listen to the people who were there when it happened... In this historical account, Jimmy Lee Beasley Sr. takes a look back at the largest and most violent armed conflict in the history of mankind. I Was There When It Happened is a capitulation of many World War II stories. The author spent six months going from one VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars) to another just to record their stories. “I did this so we may remember these fine men for what they were and for what they gave to their country,” the author says. Not only does this book record the effects of war on one nation, but also encompasses a universal scope, which readers will find comprehensive. Through the accounts of these brave men and women, readers will be able to experience what it was like to live in uncertainty in a period of peril. I Was There When It Happened is a compilation of stories from these people who not only stepped up to fight, but banded together as brothers with one common goal in mind: to keep the world free.

I was There when it Happened by Tillman Franks,Robert Roy Gentry Pdf

The name Tillman Franks is synonymous with Country Music. For more than 60 years, the Shreveport, La. Native had his finger on the pulse of the business. Now for the first time, he tells his story. Franks served as a star-maker, a songwriter, manager, comedian and musician. There were five artists that he took to No. I in the Country Music charts, including Webb pierce, the Carlisles, Johnny Horton, Claude King and David Houston. Franks relives the stressful times he endured while managing Horton's widow, Billie Jean Horton, and football great, Terry Bradshaw. In addition, he relates his disagreement to the story Tammy Wynette told about their conflict and publicly apologizes the Barbara Mandrell for a conflict they had. The Louisiana Hayride was one of the nation's top Country Music shows in the late 1940's through 1960. Franks was on the first Hayride and remained with it until the end. It was while he was associated with the hayride that he gave a helping hand to rising young stars Hank Williams Sr. and Elvis Presley. Franks describes in vivid detail how the "Angel of Mercy" cradled him in her hand during the tragic car wreck in Milano, Tx. in 1960 that took Johnny Horton's life. In addition, Franks writes chapters about his association with Jim Reeves, Slim Whitman, Gov. Jimmie Davis, Shoji Tabuchi, Kitty Wells, Tommy Sands, Billy Sherrill, Johnny and Jack, Roy Acuff, Glenn Sutton, Jerry Kennedy, Shelby singleton and many others. The reader will laugh and cry at Franks' life and experiences. It's a book that's gonna turn Nashville on its ear.

That's Not What Happened by Kody Keplinger Pdf

From New York Times bestseller Kody Keplinger comes an astonishing and thought-provoking exploration of the aftermath of tragedy, the power of narrative, and how we remember what we've lost. It's been three years since the Virgil County High School Massacre. Three years since my best friend, Sarah, was killed in a bathroom stall during the mass shooting. Everyone knows Sarah's story--that she died proclaiming her faith. But it's not true. I know because I was with her when she died. I didn't say anything then, and people got hurt because of it. Now Sarah's parents are publishing a book about her, so this might be my last chance to set the record straight . . . but I'm not the only survivor with a story to tell about what did--and didn't--happen that day. Except Sarah's martyrdom is important to a lot of people, people who don't take kindly to what I'm trying to do. And the more I learn, the less certain I am about what's right. I don't know what will be worse: the guilt of staying silent or the consequences of speaking up . . .

Why I Write by George Orwell Pdf

George Orwell set out ‘to make political writing into an art’, and to a wide extent this aim shaped the future of English literature – his descriptions of authoritarian regimes helped to form a new vocabulary that is fundamental to understanding totalitarianism. While 1984 and Animal Farm are amongst the most popular classic novels in the English language, this new series of Orwell’s essays seeks to bring a wider selection of his writing on politics and literature to a new readership. In Why I Write, the first in the Orwell’s Essays series, Orwell describes his journey to becoming a writer, and his movement from writing poems to short stories to the essays, fiction and non-fiction we remember him for. He also discusses what he sees as the ‘four great motives for writing’ – ‘sheer egoism’, ‘aesthetic enthusiasm’, ‘historical impulse’ and ‘political purpose’ – and considers the importance of keeping these in balance. Why I Write is a unique opportunity to look into Orwell’s mind, and it grants the reader an entirely different vantage point from which to consider the rest of the great writer’s oeuvre. 'A writer who can – and must – be rediscovered with every age.' — Irish Times
