The Price of Glory by Alistair Horne Pdf

The battle of Verdun lasted ten months. It was a battle in which at least 700,000 men fell, along a front of fifteen miles. Its aim was less to defeat the enemy than bleed him to death and a battleground whose once fertile terrain is even now a haunted wilderness. Alistair Horne's classic work, continuously in print for over fifty years, is a profoundly moving, sympathetic study of the battle and the men who fought there. It shows that Verdun is a key to understanding the First World War to the minds of those who waged it, the traditions that bound them and the world that gave them the opportunity.

The Price for Glory by M. N. Snitz Pdf

Abraham Steinnermann offers two absolutes. One, he is very successful and the youngest bank officer in Western Europe. Two, he is especially skillful, lascivious, and licentious in his debauchery of beautiful women. His social skills with women are cursory, always secondary to his personal fulfillment. He is brash, arrogant, and obtrusively conceited. Intelligent and highly educated, Steinnermann insulates himself behind the periphery of his thinly veiled sanctuary. It is 1942. The evil that washes over others eludes him. "I am safe. Untouchable. Omnipotent. A special example that insures my safety." The iron cell door slams shut behind him. His strength and resolve vanish as does his arrogance and hedonism. His face wrinkles with emotion. His eyes tear. He cringes with the thought of his demise as fires around him singe his soul, and wanton barbarity attempts to leave his ashes to scatter dismissively with the slightest breeze. He is paralyzed with a fear that castrates his heart and purges his soul. He seeks the perceived safety of Destiny, although his intellect can neither portray its effectiveness nor assess its mystery. Twelve singular characters of intrigue enter his life and hold in their grasp Steinnerman's future. The "Gang of Twelve" offer redemption but also pain and suffering. "I choose life! I seek Glory! I follow my Destiny!" So states Abraham Steinnermann, whose legacy becomes the Pantheon for humanity. And so too his story continues.

The Fall of Paris by Alistair Horne Pdf

The collapse of France in 1870 had an overwhelming impact – on Paris, on France and on the rest of the world. People everywhere saw Paris as the centre of Europe and the hub of culture, fashion and invention. Suddenly France, not least to the disbelief of her own citizens, was gripped in the vice of the Iron Chancellor’s armies and forced to surrender on humiliating terms. In this brilliant study of the Siege and its aftermath, Alistair Horne evokes the high drama of those ten fantastic months and the spiritual agony which Paris and the Parisians suffered. The Fall of Paris is the first part of the trilogy including To Lose a Battle and The Price of Glory (already available in Penguin).

Who is This King of Glory? by Alvin Boyd Kuhn Pdf

This book reveals that much of Christianity and its beliefs had originated in ancient Egypt rather than the Middle East. The author presents us with how, where and why many spiritual Egyptian beliefs were adopted into Christian form and accepted as "history", as opposed to being carried over in their original mythological form. Kuhn states, "The gospels are not and never were histories. They are now proven to have been cryptic dramas of the spiritual evolution of humanity and of the history of the human soul in its earthly tabernacle of flesh." For Christianity to be expressed in the way it was first intended, as experienced during the first two centuries of its existence, one must first acknowledge its pagan roots. This is too much of a leap for most people, but they have not read this book. The author reveals how things were altered in the third century by the existing priesthood and why.

The Other Side of Glory by Carl J. Pierson,Lindsay Whalen Pdf

"People often forget the road to greatness is rarely a smooth ride. The Other Side of Glory reminds us of the enormous power of persistence and what can be achieved when a group of young athletes takes the journey and finds that a 'team-first attitude' can navigate the rocky road that leads to the ultimate prize." —Tim Miles, head men's basketball coach, San Jose State University. A compelling story of teamwork and commitment in the competitive world of girls' high school basketball When the Waconia Wildcats embarked on the 2019 season, their motto was simple: FINISH. It was a mandate to follow through on every play at the basket and a promise to address unfinished business from the previous season, when a one-point loss was all that kept them from reaching the state tournament for the first time in school history. The Other Side of Glory is a sensitive and riveting portrait of youth basketball in small-town Minnesota, a world familiar to many but brimming with its own characters, quirks, and challenges. Readers will get to know the players—girls with nicknames like Sauce, Salsa, Raptor, and Snake—as they navigate high school life, struggle to accept their roles on the team, wrestle with self-doubt, and ultimately band together with the goal of vanquishing a 45-year legacy of coming up short. Inspirational and relatable, this is a must-read for athletes, coaches, and parents everywhere.
