Описание:
Inspired by a true story, Peace of Ourselves is a coming-of-age novel about a young man's evolving objection to the Vietnam War and his subsequent move from the US to Canada. The book offers a unique point of view that will trigger contemplative memories for those who lived during that time and a historical perspective for those who did not.
Kevin Fischer is a Missouri boy growing up in the '60s and '70s. He's watching television after oral surgery on the day President Kennedy is shot. He's on spring break traveling through Memphis when Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is killed. By the time he's in college, Kevin is participating in the growing, antiwar protests.
Kevin meets John, a Vietnam veteran who is traumatized by what he saw "over there." John and Kevin have long talks about the realities of fighting in the Vietnam War, US Government international expansionism and the acceptance of these policies by the majority of US citizens. Although Kevin has a college draft deferment, as well as a medical issue that should preclude him from military service, he strongly opposes the Vietnam War on principle. This ideology is tested when his number comes up short in the draft lottery of 1969 making it more likely he will be drafted after college.
John has decided to immigrate to Canada, and Kevin goes along for the road trip before he goes back to college. Kevin falls in love with Canada and decides to stay, much to the dismay of his parents, who are more of the belief, "my county, right or wrong." Kevin's true love from school, Lorraine, joins him in Canada, and they begin a unique, shared adventure managing a large vineyard operation in British Columbia's Okanagan Valley.

Описание: The first novel entitled Altered Perceptions is the first part of a trilogy featuring Andy McPhee and Team Seven of the SIS Black Door Operations. SIS does exist, as do Black Door Ops. What goes on at CDE Porton Down is part factual and part fiction. Although this story is fiction, or you could say factional, the enriched uranium and plutonium did go missing from FBR Dounreay. The Secret Royal Navy program, the Vulcan Project, did take place between the RN and Rolls Royce. There were two major accidents at FBR Dounreay, and they were covered up. There is still two miles of off-limit shoreline, where pieces of plutonium are being found near Dounreay. Much of what happened in the first book did happen in real life. Some is, of course, pure fiction. Real names have been changed. The majority of the places exist. Gruinard Island was used by the British Government to test out bacteriological and viral spores of anthrax. The island remained uninhabitable for almost fifty years. The UK has signed up to the Geneva Convention that bans the use of chemical and biological warfare. Yet it continues to make these banned items. The UK is not alone in this. The USA, France, Belgium, Germany, along with the majority of countries in the west, are also part of it. Yet they condemn third-world countries who try to make them, and in some cases, they even supply these countries with the parts required to make them. That is a fact.

Описание: This classic New York Times bestseller is an illuminating portrait of JFK--from his thrilling rise to his tragic fall--by two of the men who knew him best. As a politician, John Fitzgerald Kennedy crafted a persona that fascinated and inspired millions--and left an outsize legacy in the wake of his murder on November 22, 1963. But only a select few were privy to the complicated man behind the Camelot image. Two such confidants were Kenneth P. O'Donnell, Kennedy's top political aide, and David F. Powers, a special assistant in the White House. They were among the president's closest friends, part of an exclusive inner circle that came to be known as the "Irish Mafia." In Johnny, We Hardly Knew Ye, O'Donnell and Powers share memories of Kennedy, his extraordinary political career, and his iconic family--memories that could come only from intimate access to the man himself. As they recount the full scope of Kennedy's journey--from his charismatic first campaign for Congress to his rapid rise to national standing, culminating on that haunting day in Dallas--O'Donnell and Powers lay bare the inner workings of a leader who is cherished and mourned to this day, in a memoir that spent over five months on the New York Times bestseller list.
