Описание:
A life built upon truth is often a life of challenge, when much is at stake. The life of Admiral William L. Schachte, Jr., navigates the waters of truth in a world where shoals of malfeasance are all too common. From Vietnam Swift Boats--to the Black Sea Incident with the Soviet Russians--to the infamous Tailhook Scandal--one man of character connects all three events. He fought in America's most controversial war, advised our national leaders on international maritime law, and insisted upon proper military decorum throughout his beloved U.S. Navy. Political historians will validate that Admiral Schachte likely changed the outcome of a U.S. presidential election. He did so by speaking truth to power. It was his duty, as he saw it, and not a choice. Our republic's very health depends upon a commitment to the truth.

Описание: The COVID-19 coronavirus was unanticipated, unwelcome, and unsettling in its far-reaching destruction of life, lifestyles, and the U.S. economy. Its fallout presented Americans with an untimely pause in our busy days, giving us time to contemplate fear of the unseen and unknown. The pandemic would pass, but when? How would it change the United States and, indeed, the world around us? What careers were impacted? What markets were challenged? What will the added debt, both personal and national, portend to the average consumer in the future? When will we again gather together in confidence?
Post Pandemic Perspective attempts to answer these and other important questions that will impact the future of every American. Through meticulous research, W. Thomas McQueeney has scoped out the landscape over the next hill and categorized the major concerns facing us, striving to find the light at the end of the tunnel. He writes with a positive sense of purpose in order to reassure those who have made it through this epic event that it is still possible to thrive.The post-pandemic reality presents a new beginning that will depend upon the difficult lessons we all learned during our days of hardship. The fact is, our perspectives have been broadened by the experience. We will now demand better ways in all avenues of living-because better ways do exist, in the realms of culture, hygiene, education, religion, government, medicine, finance, and interpersonal relationships. It's true, no joyful birth escapes pain. But while we sadly lament what has happened, we should also be confident in our transition to the exciting world that awaits us ahead.
