Duty and Sacrifice in America's Time of Need

A Medal of Honor recipient looks back at his own service—and ahead to America’s future. Jack Jacobs was acting as an advisor to the South Vietnamese when he and his men came under devastating attack. Severely wounded, 1st Lt. Jacobs took command and withdrew the unit, returning again and again to the site of the attack to rescue more men, saving the lives of a U.S. advisor and thirteen Allied soldiers. Col. Jacobs received the nation’s highest military award, the Medal of Honor. Here, with candor, humor, and quiet modesty, Col. Jack Jacobs tells his stirring story of heroism, honor, and the personal code by which he has lived his life, and expounds with blunt honesty and insight his views on our contemporary world, and the nature and necessity of sacrifice. If Not Now, When'is a compelling account of a unique life at both war and peace, and the all-too-often unexamined role of the citizenry in the service and defense of the Republic.

Victory in Viet Nam the Legend of Dust off: America's Battlefield Angels

Viet Nam may be the only war we ever fought, or perhaps that was ever fought, in which the heroism of the American soldier was accompanied by humanitarianism unmatched in the annals of warfare. And the humanitarianism took place during the heat of the battle. The GI fixed as he fought, he cured and educated and built in the middle of the battle. He truly cared for, and about, those people. What other Army has ever done that? Humanitarianism was America's great victory in Viet Nam. Spearheading the humanitarian efforts were the air ambulance operations, call-sign Dust Off, the most dangerous of all aviation operations, which rescued some one million souls in Viet Nam. Dead Men Flying is the story of Charles Kelly, the father of Dust Off, who gave his life to save Dust Off--the greatest life-saver ever. His dying words--When I have your wounded--set the standard for combat medicine to this day. It is also the story of the author, Medal of Honor recipient General Patrick Brady, who learned from Charles Kelly and struggled to meet his standard. Brady led the 54th Medical Detachment as it rescued over twenty-one thousand wounded--enemy and friendly--in ten months, while sustaining twenty-six Purple Hearts. Dead Men Flying is the story of salvation in the midst of horror, courage in the face of adversity, and the miracle of faith in the heat of combat. A riveting tale from America's most decorated living soldier, this is a book that no American can afford to ignore. Now in paperback, Dead Men Flying includes two new chapters providing in-depth analysis by General Brady about where the state of the military today and how we can get back on track to be the greatest nation on earth.

"The Nightingale's Song probes a fault line that has haunted American society for more than two decades - the generational chasm between those who fought a discredited war and those who used money, wit, and connections to avoid it. In passionate biting prose, Robert Timberg weaves together the lives of five U.S. Naval Academy graduates who achieved national prominence during the presidency of Ronald Reagan and who continue to claim our attention today. The result is a riveting tale that reveals the flip side of the storied Vietnam generation - those who went." "The Nightingale's Song shows how unresolved conflicts over Vietnam resonated through the Reagan years and beyond, not solely in the careers of the five Annapolis men, but in the major events of their time. Chronicling their often intertwined experiences, the book follows all five through the Academy, the war, and its aftermath. With the election of Ronald Reagan in 1980, their lives intersect even more, culminating in the Iran-Contra scandal and the fallout from it."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Retracing Cook's Endeavour Voyage

First there was Blue Latitudes, now there is The Ship, which tells the remarkable story of Captain James Cook's voyage on the Endeavour, describing what happened when a team of volunteers boarded a magnificent replica of the ship to retrace a dramatic stretch of its route from Cape Grafton in Australia to Jakarta in Indonesia. Simon Baker, author and seaman, begins by taking a fresh look at Cook and the origins of his first voyage - how it turned from a scientific expedition to observe an eclipse into a far-reaching quest for the Great Southern Continent. Drawing on original journals, he re-examines Cook's motives and reputation, revealing a more complex character than the hero that history has handed down to us. The replica Endeavour provided a unique opportunity to 'test' the achievements of Cook and his company within an authentic 18th-century environment. This involved living on the same diet as Cook and his men, hauling ropes, scrubbing decks, and cleaning cabins. The specialists on board - historians, navigators, a botanist and an artist - replicated the work of their 18th-century counterparts and came to fascinating conclusions about their contributions to science, and navigation. The Ship features: - Spectacular photographs of the replica ship and the places it visited on the voyage. - Journal entries from eighteenth- and twenty-first century participants, giving a dual perspective on the innovative voyage. - Historic maps and charts drawn by Captain Cook and other early explorers. - Original drawings of plants and people by artists past and present who traveled on the Endeavour First there was Blue Latitudes, now there is The Ship, which tells the remarkable story of Captain James Cook's voyage on the Endeavour, describing what happened when a team of volunteers boarded a magnificent replica of the ship to retrace a dramatic stretch of its route from Cape Grafton in Australia to Jakarta in Indonesia.
