Pointman by Robert L. Owens Pdf

Pointman is one platoon s story of the Vietnam War and the horrors that most veterans of the conflict would rather keep buried. While most soldiers gritted their teeth, kept their heads down and prayed for their time to be up, some looked at the war as a way to win glory and acclaim. Others took advantage of illicit opportunities for personal gain, no matter the price to others. Sgt. Mike Brooks is counting the days until his tour of duty is up. All he wants is to marry his Vietnamese girlfriend. But butting heads with his lieutenant has put his meager happiness in jeopardy. Lt. Gomez s obsession with promotion and accolades will send the entire platoon on an almost-impossible mission. And high-purity heroin, readily available and dirt cheap, could be the death of them all. - Renee Struthers, East Oregonian newspaper Patrols in the rice paddies of the Mekong Delta, the triple canopy jungle of Cambodia, the firefights, the mosquitoes and mud, the Plain of Reeds, Shakey s Hill, Binh Phuoc, Rach Kien, Bien Hoa, Long Binh - I wanted to remember it all. I especially remember the camaraderie and the courage demonstrated by these soldiers. Pointman was originally started as a diary more than 40 years ago and I love the story - it s fictionalized, but it acknowledges the suffering and sacrifices these young men endured. - Author, Robert L. Owens EDITORIAL REVIEWS One of the finestwar novels I ve ever read. - author Robert Lowry, Writer s Digest Criticism Service This book has it all: love and hate, fear and courage, revenge and redemption. - Renee Struthers, East Oregonian newspaper I realized this Vietnam War novel was trying to do something very different We get something unusual: well-realized characters, an involving plot, and a story that is compelling and interesting from the first page of the book until the last. - David Willson, Vietnam Veterans of America, Books in Review ABOUT THE AUTHOR Bob Owens received the Combat Medical Badge, Purple Heart, and Bronze Star medals for service with the 9th Infantry Division in the Mekong Delta, as well as the Cambodian invasion in 1970.

The Point of Vanishing by Howard Axelrod Pdf

Into the Wild meets Walden—a lyrical memoir for nature lovers and for anyone who has wondered what it would be like to disconnect from our hyper-connected culture and seek more meaningful connections After losing vision in one eye and becoming estranged from his family and friends, a young man spent two years searching for identity in self-imposed solitude in the backwoods of northern Vermont, where he embarked on a project of stripping away facades and all social ties--and learned to face himself. On a clear May afternoon at the end of his junior year at Harvard, Howard Axelrod played a pick-up game of basketball. In a skirmish for a loose ball, a boy’s finger hooked behind Axelrod’s eyeball and left him permanently blinded in his right eye. A week later, he returned to the same dorm room, but to a different world. A world where nothing looked solid, where the distance between how people saw him and how he saw had widened into a gulf. Desperate for a sense of orientation he could trust, he retreated to a jerry-rigged house in the Vermont woods, where he lived without a computer or television, and largely without human contact, for two years. He needed to find a more lasting sense of meaning away from society’s pressures and rush. Named one of the best books of the year by Slate, Chicago Tribune, Entropy Magazine, and named one of the top 10 memoirs by Library Journal
