Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'God Have Mercy on Us!' is a powerful and gritty narrative of the American experience on the front lines of the First World War. Written by William T. Scanlon, a veteran of the United States Marine Corps, this work provides an unvarnished look at the realities of modern combat during the final year of the Great War. The story follows the members of a Marine unit as they are thrust into the chaos of the Western Front, capturing the intensity of major engagements including the battles of Belleau Wood, Saint-Mihiel, and the Meuse-Argonne Offensive.Through a lens of stark realism, the book explores the physical and psychological toll of trench warfare, the camaraderie forged in the face of death, and the sheer unpredictability of life under fire. Scanlon's prose is direct and visceral, eschewing romanticized notions of glory in favor of an honest depiction of the soldier's daily struggle for survival. 'God Have Mercy on Us!' stands as a significant contribution to the literature of the Great War, offering readers an authentic perspective on the courage, endurance, and sacrifice of those who served in the American Expeditionary Forces. It remains a compelling testament to the harrowing nature of total war and the resilience of the human spirit amidst devastation.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Bill Scanlon, a man with absolutely no political experience, was elected mayor of the City of Beverly, Massachusetts in November 1993, sweeping to victory in every precinct in each ward in the city. The citizens of Beverly had had enough of the five-term mayor, Jack Monahan. Beverly, a city of over 40,000 people, was in dire straits and appeared headed for receivership. The city had run up bills for millions of dollars with no means to pay those bills. Beverly's bond rating had been trashed to 'junk' status. Beverly's Community Development Office had been closed by the state for malfeasance. Beverly had become a joke across the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The city was being lampooned in magazines with cartoons comparing its management to the then popular 'Beverly Hillbillies' TV series. Specifically, the city had created a deficit over $8,000,000. A deficit is created by spending money one does not have, the equivalent of cashing bad checks on a large scale, spending the proceeds and then having to make restitution with no means to do so.I am Bill Scanlon, and this is my story.
