"In 1969 Jaime Mardis entered the U.S. Military Academy at West Point with dreams of becoming another Errol Flynn in 'The Charge of the Light Brigade'. Instead, he found himself confronted with the stringent discipline and sometimes brutal realities of a system that has endured largely unchanged for 174 years."--Book jacket.
Muth examines the different paths the United States Army and the German Armed Forces traveled to select, educate, and promote their officers in the crucial time before World War II. He demonstrates that the military education system in Germany represented an organized effort where each school provided the stepping stone for the next.

Memoirs of a Bipolar Ex-Podiatrist by Jonathan Perry Stern Pdf
Memoirs of a Bipolar Ex-Podiatrist has been written to provide hope for other bipolar people. Have you ever wondered who you are and/or why you behave the way you do? The author wondered that for 35 years until he was finally diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder (BPD). The author was happy to finally have an identity, it also explained his racing thoughts, dramatic mood swings, impulsiveness, impatience, eagerness to be "class clown," and innate intelligence for subjects most lack interest in. The author started to study about fellow bipolars (Patty Duke, Hemingway, Poe, Lincoln, Van Gogh, and Hendrix) and noticed creative faculties conflicted with logical faculties. Hence, he pursued his dreams of writing a poetry anthology, a historical fantasy fiction novel about BPD, and a well-researched, self-help memoir about BPD. The author has overcome an abusive father and others, bankruptcy, and divorce to continually strive for excellence in relationships and career success. He has constantly tried to educate others on how they can overcome any disorder by having faith in a higher power, eating right, exercising, being compliant with their medication regimen, and learning from competent psychiatrists and psychotherapists. Also, surrounding yourself with positive and uplifting people is essential.

In 1951 Gaines Post was a gangly, bespectacled, introspective teenager preparing to spend a year in Paris with his professorial father and older brother; his mother, who suffered from extreme depression, had been absent from the family for some time. Ten years later, now less gangly but no less introspective, he was finishing a two-year stint in the army in West Germany and heading toward Oxford on a Rhodes scholarship, having narrowly escaped combat in the Berlin crisis of 1961. His quietly intense coming-of-age story is both self-revealing and reflective of an entire generation of young men who came to adulthood before the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Vietnam War. Post's experiences in high school in Madison, Wisconsin, and Paris, his Camus-influenced undergraduate years at Cornell University, and his army service in Germany are set very effectively against the events of the Cold War. McCarthyism and American crackdowns on dissidents, American foreign and military policy in Western Europe in the nuclear age, French and German life and culture, crises in Paris and Berlin that nearly bring the West to war and the Post family to dissolution—these are the larger scenes and subjects of his self-disclosure as a contemplative, conflicted "Cold War agnostic." His intelligent, talented mother and her fragile health hover over Post's narrative, informing his hesitant relationships with women and his acutely questioning sense of self-worth. His story is strongly academic and historical as well as political and military; his perceptions and judgments lean toward no ideological extreme but remain true to the heroic ideals of his boyhood during the Second World War.
