Douglas Brinkley (born December 14, 1960) is an American author, Katherine Tsanoff Brown Chair in Humanities and professor of history at Rice University. Brinkley is the history commentator for CNN, and a contributing editor to the magazine Vanity Fair. He is a public spokesperson on conservation issues. He joined the faculty of Rice University as a professor of history in 2007. Brinkley worked closely with his mentor, historian Stephen E. Ambrose, then director of the Eisenhower Center for American Studies at the University of New Orleans. Ambrose chose Brinkley to become director of the Eisenhower Center, a post he held for five years before moving to Tulane University. Ron Drez is a decorated combat veteran of the Vietnam War and a former Captain of Marines. He is an award-winning, best-selling author and commander. He is President of Stephen Ambrose Historical Tours having served both as friend and associate of the distinguished, late historian. With personal and historical photographs, and a text by two leading historians, this book is both a captivating history and a stirring tribute to the men who served their country and the world so bravely on D-Day. Experience the history of D-Day through the words and recorded voices of those who were there -- the servicemen who risked their lives for the protection of freedom and democracy. With two sixty-minute audio CDs of veteran testimonies, personal and historical photographs, and a text by two leading historians, Voices of Valor is both a captivating history and a stirring tribute to the men who served their country and the world so bravely that day. Voices of Valor: D-Day: June 6, 1944 is an intimate and lasting tribute to the soldiers who fought in one of the most important battles of the twentieth century. It includes two hourlong audio CDs -- 120 minutes in all -- that allow us to hear the veterans' own voices as they recount what they experienced at Normandy. These accounts are drawn from the Peter S. Kalikow World War II Oral History Project conducted by the Eisenhower Center for American Studies at the University of New Orleans, and now curated by the National D-Day Museum. The text of Voices of Valor -- written by acclaimed historian and popular on-air consultant Douglas Brinkley and decorated Vietnam veteran and D-Day expert Ronald J. Drez -- is based on those oral testimonies and weaves a captivating narrative of that dramatic day. D-Day -- June 6, 1944 -- has been rightly called a pivotal moment in the twentieth century. With the fate of World War II hanging in the balance, 150,000 Allied soldiers took part in the largest air, land, and sea operation ever attempted. Five thousand Allied servicemen died that day, but D-Day's success proved to be the decisive turning point of the war. Less than a year later, Hitler and his regime fell. This unique multimedia history of the invasion brings the veterans' stories to life as never before. First Edition [stated], presumed first printing.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. 190, [2] pages. Oversized volume, measuring 12 inches by 9-1/4 inches. Profusely illustration with color photographs. Includes a Foreword by Billie Jean King. Also includes a Preface and an Introduction. This book features one hundred female athletes at the best: passionate, determined, and strong. Each of these extraordinary women, beautifully photographed by Jodi Buren, offers in her own words stories of triumph, excellence, and courage--allowing us a glimpse of the personality and spirit behind the long lists of athletic achievements. Included in this collection are Olympic medalists and hopefuls, X Gamers, and competitors in the Special Olympics and Paralympics. This book is a powerful tribute to the importance of the work of the Women's Sports Foundation, founded by Billie Jean King. Jodi Buren is a portrait photographer whose work has appeared in Sports Illustrated, Time, Newsweek, The New York Times, and Life. While on assignment for Sports Illustrated, Jodi was moved by the spirit and energy of a team of women basketball players and their fans. Inspired by this passion for women in sport, Ms. Buren began shooting SuperWomen. In honor of its thirtieth anniversary, the Women's Sports Foundation celebrates the accomplishments of one hundred female sports superstars, including Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Picabo Street, Bonnie Blair, Chris Evert, Sarah Hughes, and other less-famous athletes including marathoner Loretta Claiborne, golfer Michelle Wie, and Paralympic champion Aimee Mullins. From Publisher's Weekly: Combining sweeping photographic spreads with first-person reflections, this book pays tribute to the female sports figures-both current competitors and silver-haired veterans-who have risen to the top of their game. Buren, a portrait photographer for Sports Illustrated, offers 100 varied, sensitive photographs of athletes-some poised for action, some in repose, some with a look of steely resolve. Each athlete s own words accompany her image, as she recounts the obstacles, the inspirations and the milestones along the way to success. The athletes aren't always deeply eloquent about their sports-and anyway, there isn't much space for eloquence in a volume dedicated to portraits-but their passion is palpable. From adventure racing to polo to snowboarding to wrestling, women athletes have made their mark, Buren demonstrates. An inspirational book, especially for young girls, it offers poignant memories (as in Billie Jean King s foreword) and powerful advice. First Edition [stated], presumed first printing.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. Format is approximately 8.5 inches by 9.5 inches. [6], 186 pages. Includes two Audio CDS, with oral histories from Khe Sanh veterans. Foreword, Introduction, 11 Chapters, Epilogue, and Acknowledgments. Also includes 124 black-and-white photographs. Glossary. Notes. Photo Credits. Against a superior enemy force bent on their annihilation, six thousand Marines held the remote Khe Sanh Combat Base, and emerged victorious from the most important battle of the Vietnam war. The author urges a long overdue recognition of the stunning fortitude displayed by Marines and other members of the U.S. Armed Forces at Khe Sanh, which promises to reshape the way we remember the Americans who fought for their nation in Vietnam. Ron Drez is a decorated combat veteran of the Vietnam War and a former Captain of Marines. He is an award-winning, best-selling author and commander. He is President of Stephen Ambrose Historical Tours having served both as friend and associate of the distinguished, late historian. He has written many articles for military history magazines and is a contributing author and editor to the Encyclopaedia Britannica web site for its Normandy feature. Over twenty years of leading the Eisenhower Center's oral history project has brought this distinguished author into contact with the veterans of WWII. Of note was his initial discovery and interviews with the "Band of Brothers" which he chronicled in a special edition of WWII magazine entitled, Finding the Band of Brothers. Douglas Brinkley (born December 14, 1960) is an American author, Katherine Tsanoff Brown Chair in Humanities and professor of history at Rice University. Brinkley is the history commentator for CNN, and a contributing editor to the magazine Vanity Fair. He joined the faculty of Rice University as a professor of history in 2007. Stephen Ambrose, Brinkley's mentor at the University of New Orleans, called Brinkley "the best of the new generation of American historians." Brinkley and Ambrose had co-authored three books. Patrick Reardon of the Chicago Tribune called Brinkley America's "new past master." In addition, during the 2013 inauguration coverage, CNN referred to him as "a man who knows more about the presidency than just about any human being alive." The story of one of the most heroic efforts in American military history - a 77-day struggle in early 1968 for the remote Khe Sanh combat base, during which 6,000 perilously isolated marines withstood the onslaught of a superior enemy force. Drawing on a vast archive of recorded interviews and written material collected over the past twenty years by Ronald J. Drez and the Eisenhower Center for American Studies at the University of New Orleans, Voices of Courage has a narrative written by Drez and Brinkley that interweaves testimonials from the soldiers into a gripping account of every aspect of the battle. The book also includes two audio CDs - 120 minutes of recordings in total - that allows readers to hear expanded accounts from the veterans in their own voices, introduced by legendary screen actor Stephen Lang. The din of political and social controversy surrounding the Vietnam War has often drowned out the voices of the soldiers who fought there. For the first time through this unique multimedia format, American soldiers will tell their stories from Vietnam. First Edition [stated], presumed first printing.…
