The diaries tell the story of a young man, Ned Steele, who embarks on a journey from Detroit to Germany.Ned joins the Army in 1914, earns a commission in 1917, leads a machine gun company on a Flanders hill, and then a machine gun battalion in the AEF in France. In between, Ned finds romance, terror, exhaustion, friendship, death, and the misery of World War One.23rd November, Colline Mortelle.I have seen the Inferno from the edge of Purgatory.mud, wire, holes, water, and the remains of man, beast, and civilization. There is no sadder sight than a ruined town.No training can get anyone ready for this [expletive].I could never have imagined what a howitzer shell landing so close could have felt like. machine-gun bullets hum like giant bees or kazoos in the air and sound like meat hooks hitting a side of [expletive] beef when they hit.Sgt.

Zustand: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Seiten: 330 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | This Redhead consists only of external dialogues between two characters, Blondie and Red. There are no non-verbal narratives nor any internal dialogues. There are no quotation marks for what they say; just those in their dialogs, nor "he said" nor "she sighed" nor "they cried" tags. You will read of no facial expressions that they don't talk about, no un-noticed reactions or un-vocalized thoughts. Further, you won't see proper names; nothing but nicknames and the odd title. The italics are for emphasis. Conversations are naturally paced; some spoken phrases or sentences invite response, and are marked by (.). I generously use these ellipsis for this pacing.Most of the story takes place in either a two-bedroom, two-story, bath-and-a-half townhouse on a quiet rural/suburban street, or in a small neighborhood tavern not far away. The buildings in the neighborhood are close enough together that the comings-and-goings of neighbors are not a mystery, nor are some of their other activities.There are no scenes set; no transitional segues described other than in their dialogues. Story breaks and chapters may move from one location to another-and you'll know when they are important-but just as often, they merely mark the passing of time.This Redhead will require more of your imagination than any other story you have ever read. You should provide missing elements out of your experience. The interior layout of rooms, how crowded the bar is, or any other visual elements you can make up as you see fit. As their dialogs are very personal to them, so too will the scene settings become personal to you. You might place Red and Blondie in your kitchen, in your neighborhood watering hole, or in the living room where you had a memorable romantic encounter.It may surprise you how absorbing a reading experience This Redhead will be.

Zustand: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | February 1945. World War Two is entering its sixth year. In Europe, Germany is on its knees, its shattered cities in ruins, battered by clouds of bombers attacking day and night. In the Pacific, the war has been raging for just over three years-the island battles producing rivers of blood-but only a handful of bombs have fallen on Japan. The Boeing B-29 Superfortress, the most sophisticated airplane in the world, was the only airplane that could persuade Japan that resistance is futile. But in the six months since the Superfortress's combat debut, Japan remains undaunted and unharmed by the bombers. Why? Logistics, weather and urban layout. The logistics are a matter of distance. The distance between the Pacific airfields and Japan is four times greater than that between English airbases and Germany. The weather over Japan, unlike the relatively calm European skies, has an almost constant cloud cover . plus the jetstream, a howling zephyr that blows bombs off course from the B-29's bombing altitude. Japan itself, unlike Germany, has much of its weapons production scattered throughout the civilian urban landscape; concentrating on Japan's large factories isn't nearly enough to stop production. Hap Arnold, the Army Air Force's boss, has staked everything, including his reputation, on proving that a land invasion of Japan can be avoided using the Superforts, a weapons program more costly than the atomic bombs. But they and their unimaginative martinet of a commander aren't getting it done. So Arnold brings in Curtis LeMay, a general known as a real operator. Sharing Arnold's belief that a slogging land war can be avoided, LeMay looks at the problems and devises a solution with tactics that throw away all the books, even some he helped write. To win, the B-29s would conduct a Fire Blitz, and burn down Japan. 9 March 1945 Mere seconds after the sirens started, searchlights lanced the dark night with their probing, piercing fingers of light, and the antiaircraft guns began firing. And the Fire Blitz began.
