The Devil's Birthday by Geoffrey Powell Pdf

A WWII veteran combines firsthand immediacy with perceptive analysis in this vividly detailed history of the Battle of Arnhem. The Allied effort the liberate the Netherlands faced a brutal setback at the Battle of Arnham, where the men of the 1st British Airborne Division showed unsurpassed valor in the face of overwhelming opposition. The dramatic defeat, immortalized in the famous film A Bridge Too Far, is recounted here by Major Geoffrey Powell, who commanded C Company of the 156th Battalion, and who valorously led the entire battalion through—and out of—the onslaught. In The Devil’s Birthday, Powell draws on his own experience of the fighting while offring a deeply researched assessment of the operation and its execution. Casualties during the battle were appalling. The brave and enduring Dutch people suffered catastrophically while German morale was strengthened at a time of otherwise ebbing fortunes. But the hard lessons of Arnham will not be forgotten.

The Devils of Cardona by Matthew Carr Pdf

[A] novel that is as exciting as it is enlightening from its first pages to its satisfying end.” —The New York Times Book Review “A page-turner in the proper sense… Mr. Carr has written a gripping and enjoyable novel.” —The Wall Street Journal The gripping story of the dangerous high-stakes worlds of politics and religion in sixteenth-century Spain as a mysterious Muslim killer retaliates against the Catholic Church. In March 1584, the priest of Belamar de la Sierra, a small town in Aragon near the French border, is murdered in his own church. Most of the town’s inhabitants are Moriscos, former Muslims who converted to Catholicism. Anxious to avert a violent backlash on the eve of a royal visit, an adviser to King Philip II appoints local magistrate Bernardo de Mendoza to investigate. A soldier and humanist, Mendoza doesn’t always live up to the moral standards expected of court officials, but he has a reputation for incorruptibility. From the beginning, Mendoza finds almost universal hatred for the priest. And it isn’t long before he’s drawn into a complex and dangerous world in which greed, fanaticism, and state policy overlap. And as the killings continue, Mendoza's investigation is overshadowed by the real prospect of an ethnic and religious civil war. By turns an involving historical thriller and a novel with parallels to our own time, The Devils of Cardona is an unexpected and compelling read.

She Devils from Hell by Leon Corkum Pdf

How to cope with a person with schizophrenia and multiple personality disorder? To some, getting out of the situation altogether is the order of the day. After all, the situation may seem helpless and a sure way to waste the best years of one’s life. Not for Leon Corkum’s very best friend Noel, however. In She-Devils from Hell: Noel’s Personal Diary Chronicles, Leon tells in great detail how his close friend Noel had coped with a wife who suffers from the illness for no less than fifty years. Certainly, it is no mean feat, but as Leon admits, marriage is more than joy throughout; one must be wary since God Himself is a witness to the pact that binds two people together in all the aspects of living together. More than an account of the illness itself, this work reflects the hope, faith, and love of an extraordinary man amidst the most difficult situation one could imagine being in.
