Описание: Hal Moore, one of the most admired American combat leaders of the last 50 years, has until now been best known to the public for being portrayed by Mel Gibson in the movie We Were Soldiers. In this first-ever, fully illustrated biography, we finally learn the full story of one of America s true military heroes.A 1945 graduate of West Point, Moore s first combats occurred during the Korean War, where he fought in the battles of Old Baldy, T-Bone, and Pork Chop Hill. At the beginning of the Vietnam War, Moore commanded the 1st Battalion of the 7th Cavalry in the first full-fledged battle between U.S. and North Vietnamese regulars. Drastically outnumbered and nearly overrun, Moore led from the front, and though losing 79 soldiers, accounted for 1,200 of the enemy before the Communists withdrew. This Battle of Ia Drang pioneered the use of air mobile infantry delivering troops into battle via helicopter which became the staple of U.S. operations for the remainder of the war. He later wrote of his experiences in the best-selling book, We Were Soldiers Once and Young.Following his tour in Vietnam, he assumed command of the 7th Infantry Division, forward-stationed in South Korea, and in 1971, he took command of the Army Training Center at Fort Ord, California. In this capacity, he oversaw the US Army s transition from a conscript-based to an all-volunteer force. He retired as a Lieutenant General in 1977.At this writing, Hal Moore is 90 years old and living quietly in Auburn, Alabama. He graciously allowed the author interviews and granted full access to his files and collection of letters, documents, and never-before-published photographs.

Описание: Living Hell presents the uplifting and inspirational stories of some of the AIDS patients with whom author Josefina Guardia worked as a nursing assistant. She opens the door to the reality of AIDS and its victims, as well as that of the families who don't always know how to be supportive in the face of such devastation. She shares in their pain and acknowledges how alone some AIDS patients find themselves during the fight of their lives. This collection of stories recounts their battle to die with dignity-to take their last breaths surrounded by loving kindness. She discusses how some families struggle with the reality of this frightening disease and offers the reminder that, with a little love and understanding, it's possible to make the last days of an AIDS patient less scary. Guardia encourages families to gain knowledge about the disease that their loved one is facing and provide as much support as they can. The touching stories compiled here remind us not to be afraid to hug these courageous people so that they know that they are loved.
