The reluctant lieutenant will make you laugh with his self-deprecating, sometimes cynical humor and frankness. He was one of thousands of academically talented young graduate students yanked out of their happy, idealistic existence to replenish our relentless war in Vietnam. He became the lucky lieutenant when he drew orders instead for a three-year assignment to support the Cold War in Germany. This collection of short stories will lead you through those years with wit and irony as he chronicles the remarkable events he experienced, the fascinating people he encountered, and the invaluable perspective he gained on leadership. Examples abound of sterling leaders and pathetic shirkers among both officers and enlisted men, of clarity and consternation, of boredom and panic, and of luck both good and bad. Through it all is romance and the adventure of living in Europe. Ridder is a born storyteller. His insights into the people and systems that comprise the military will strike home with anyone who has served. Those who have not will experience a unique and authentic view of air force life from the inside.

“Never fear, the Army is on its way!” Jim Dudley, a cocky youngster and newly minted ROTC Lieutenant, finds that the tank corps is not for him. As luck would have it, he qualifies by college training as a Medical Service Corps entomologist and serves on active duty as an instructor and sanitary specialist. Serving among scores of Army stalwarts and rouges, he soon learns to discern armed forces reality from illusion. All the while, war in Southeast Asia, increasing civil rights conflicts and racial prejudice in the U. S. weigh heavily on Jim and his young family as they experience the ins and outs of Army life. After war games in Carolina, he is unexpectedly assigned to duty in Viet Nam where he is wounded. Relieved from active duty, he leaves the Army for college teaching, but encouraged by his wife, Laurie and a college buddy, he volunteers to help returning veterans reconstruct their lives in the face of an ungrateful public, a challenge equal to anything the Army threw at him. Jim and Laurie persevere, but find that military and social conflict often lies waiting within the human conscious, affecting for every generation including their own children. Counting on a little bit of luck, they hope damage control will again carry the day.

Twenty-two-year-old George Washington was pleased by his promotion to the rank of lieutenant-colonel and quite content to be the second-in-command of Governor Robert Dinwiddie’s expedition to remove the French from the Ohio Valley. Then Joshua Fry, the mission’s elderly commanding officer, is killed in a fall from his horse. Washington, whose experience in battle is all but nonexistent, is suddenly in command of the Virginia Regiment at a remote field in the Allegheny Mountains called Great Meadows—and the enemy is coming.

Representing the Other in Modern Japanese Literature looks at the ways in which authors writing in Japanese in the twentieth century constructed a division between the ‘Self’ and the ‘Other’ in their work. Drawing on methodology from Foucault and Lacan, the clearly presented essays seek to show how Japanese writers have responded to the central question of what it means to be ‘Japanese’ and of how best to define their identity. Taking geographical, racial and ethnic identity as a starting point to explore Japan's vision of 'non-Japan', representations of the Other are examined in terms of the experiences of Japanese authors abroad and in the imaginary lands envisioned by authors in Japan. Using a diverse cross-section of writers and texts as case studies, this edited volume brings together contributions from a number of leading international experts in the field and is written at an accessible level, making it essential reading for those working in Japanese studies, colonialism, identity studies and nationalism.

"ONE OF THE BEST VIETNAM WAR STORIES I'VE EVER READ, one damn good, compelling read. It's almost something out of a Clancy novel, yet it's true. The best thing I can say about it is I didn't want it to end." --Col. David Hackworth, New York Times bestselling author of About Face By the spring of 1970, American troops were ordered to pull out of Vietnam. The Marines of 1st Reconnaissance Battalion, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel "Wild Bill" Drumright, were assigned to cover the withdrawal of 1st Marine Division. The Marines of 1st RECON Bn operated in teams of six or seven men. Heavily armed, the teams fought a multitude of bitter engagements with a numerically superior and increasingly aggressive enemy. Michael C. Hodgins served in Company C, 1st RECON Bn (Rein), as a platoon leader. In powerful, graphic prose, he chronicles his experience as a patrol leader in myriad combat situations--from hasty ambush to emergency extraction to prisoner snatch to combined-arms ambush. . . .

Each time Neil Avery reminisces about a certain Southern preacher, he is haunted with regret for mistreating the minister's daughter—the young woman who tried to teach him about love. This overcomes Avery with thoughts of what should have been. But at the zenith of the 21st century, quantum physicists have created a frightening invention: a time machine responsible for the death of one scientist and disappearance of another. When Avery learns he may be forced into retirement, he must end the military career he loves, or accept a secret mission as part of the nuclear-genetic time machine. But to take on the perilous assignment would mean to join those misleading the FBI away from the most incredible invention devised by man to date. A thrilling novel of technological advances and military might, ACROSS THE SANDS OF TIME is the gripping story of one man's shot at redemption.
