![]() By V-E Day, 625 men had served in its ranks. One infantry company landed in Normandy on August 8 with 187 men and six officers. ![]() The 1945 offensive into Germany was a triumph of a citizen army, but the price was high. Ambrose's accounts of the fighting in Normandy, the breakout and the bitter autumn struggles for Aachen and the battles in the Huertgen Forest and around Metz depict an army depending not on generalship but on the courage, skill and adaptability of small-unit commanders and their men. Using interviews and other personal accounts by both German and American participants, Ambrose tells instead the story of enlisted men and junior officers who not only mastered the battlefield but developed emotional resources that endured and transcended the shocks of modern combat. These men are frequently dismissed as winning victories by firepower rather than acknowledged for their individual fighting power. ![]() The story of the front-line American combatants who took WWII to the Germans from Normandy to the Elbe River makes, in Ambrose's expert hands, for an outstanding sequel to his D-Day (1994). ![]()

![]() ![]() Yes, I am hard at work on so many new stories for you. but before I move on, THANK YOU, GEEKY WEB GUY, SAN! The nicest thing is that he does this all just to free up more writing and family time for me, which it does, brining me on to my next point.

I know when I'm looking for a new book, or author, I look to my peers and see who they recommend, with that said, I always post to my Goodreads account, so be sure to follow me there if you want. I REALLY like introducing people to knew authors and their work. And that brings me on to my second main reason. It brings me out in all kind of hives having to talk about my work, so I tend too let other authors take over my blog instead. Number one is that I'm not very good at this whole 'talking about myself' thing. So, it's been an awful long time since I actually wrote a blog post all about me. ![]() ![]() ![]() It forced him deep into his past, to confront not only the moral dimensions of his pickup lifestyle, but also a wrenching mystery in his childhood that shaped the man that he became. ![]() ![]() The choice was not only difficult, it was wrenching. That is, until he met the woman who forced him to choose between herself and the parade. But they also conditioned him to view the world as a kind of constant parade of women, sex, and opportunity-with intimacy and long-term commitment taking a back seat. The book jump-started the international “seduction community,” and made Strauss a household name-revered or notorious-among single men and women alike.īut the experience of writing The Game also transformed Strauss into a man who could have what every man wants: the ability to date-and/or have casual sex with-almost every woman he met. Neil Strauss became famous to millions around the world as the author of The Game, a funny and slyly instructive account of how he transformed himself from a scrawny, insecure nerd into the ultra-confident, ultra-successful “pickup artist” known as Style. From the author of the blockbuster bestseller The Game: A shockingly personal, surprisingly relatable, brutally honest memoir, in which the celebrated dating expert confronts the greatest challenge he has ever faced: monogamy and fidelity. ![]() ![]() ![]() Whatever the reason, summer is the perfect time for love to bloom.

It exists to try to grapple with the world the Covid-19 pandemic made and what the pandemic taught us about reality. Mandel’s latest book, Sea of Tranquility, is a true pandemic novel. Station Eleven wasn’t really about its pandemic, though that was just the plot engine that got Mandel to her artsy post-apocalyptic world of traveling Shakespeare companies, beautifully rendered in the recent HBO Max TV adaptation. Which meant that in 2020, she acquired a peculiar sort of status as one of the ones who saw it coming, somehow what Vox’s Alissa Wilkinson called one of the plague prophets. ![]() John Mandel published Station Eleven, her bestselling novel about a pandemic. ![]() ![]() ![]() Sure, I had Sylvia on Facebook, and was aware of her passion for movement within Indigenous communities - but I never knew much about what inspired her personally. ![]() “I focus on Indigenous, original peoples, treaty, nêhiyaw law, lands, water and animals,” says McAdam Saysewahum. Instead, she focuses on teaching and research. “I am what is referred to as a non-practicing lawyer,” she says. McAdam Saysewahum graduated from the University of Saskatchewan in 2009. More recently, Nationhood Interrupted was nominated in the Non-Fiction, Aboriginal Peoples’ Writing, and Aboriginal Peoples’ Publishing categories for the Saskatchewan Book Awards this past year. I first caught word of the Healing Walk to Stop Clear Cutting on Treaty 6 Nehiyaw Lands event through Facebook, where Idle No More founder Sylvia McAdam Saysewahum was promoting it for the third year in a row.Īside from her tireless, internationally recognized Idle No More work, McAdam Saysewahum has authored two books: Cultural Teachings: First Nations Protocols and Methodologies (2009) and Nationhood Interrupted: Revitalizing nêhiyaw Legal Systems (2015).
