Sowell Swift miraculously recovered from an electro-chemical accident, and upon regaining consciousness, he discovered that his mind function and his muscular capabilities had become extraordinarily accurate and quick. Utilizing his newly-developed powers, he becomes an outstanding scholar, musician, and athlete throughout his remaining three years of high school. Not long after graduating, Sowell entered professional baseball and was soon playing for a leading New York team. "So Swift - Vol. I" takes the readers with Sowell through his first year in professional baseball, letting them vicariously experience his personal life and emotional involvements, as well. "So Swift - Vol. II" parallels the Volume I experiences, expanding and refining them as Sowell begins to learn about his divine assignments, (called his "mission.") The author is hopeful that the reader will find Sowell to be a humorous and enjoyable young man, one who would be chosen to be a personal friend. Chesley Austin, in spite of having spent thirty-three years in public school teaching, has a wide variety of life experiences in his background. He has been a steelworker, a groundsman, a bakery worker, a warehouseman, a security agent, a painter, a station attendant, a school bus driver, a cannery worker, a linguist, an insurance training graduate, a curriculum coordinator, a refrigeration repair technician, a farm boy, a truck driver, a regional manager in a national corporation, a surveying assistant, an Air Force instructor, a salesman, an amateur boxer, and an amateur thespian, (the final two listed, being unpaid.) His primary participation interests are languages and vocal music. If you hadn't already guessed, Mr. Austin would tell you that he didn't have time to write, until after he retired.

New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice • Winner of the 2018 Truman Book Award A gripping narrative of the Truman Administration's response to the fall of Nationalist China and the triumph of Mao Zedong's Communist forces in 1949--an extraordinary political revolution that continues to shape East Asian politics to this day. In the opening months of 1949, U.S. President Harry S. Truman found himself faced with a looming diplomatic catastrophe--"perhaps the greatest that this country has ever suffered," as the journalist Walter Lippmann put it. Throughout the spring and summer, Mao Zedong's Communist armies fanned out across mainland China, annihilating the rival troops of America's one-time ally Chiang Kai-shek and taking control of Beijing, Shanghai, and other major cities. As Truman and his aides--including his shrewd, ruthless secretary of state, Dean Acheson--scrambled to formulate a response, they were forced to contend not only with Mao, but also with unrelenting political enemies at home. Over the course of this tumultuous year, Mao would fashion a new revolutionary government in Beijing, laying the foundation for the creation of modern China, while Chiang Kai-shek would flee to the island sanctuary of Taiwan. These events transformed American foreign policy--leading, ultimately, to decades of friction with Communist China, a long-standing U.S. commitment to Taiwan, and the subsequent wars in Korea and Vietnam. Drawing on Chinese and Russian sources, as well as recently declassified CIA documents, Kevin Peraino tells the story of this remarkable year through the eyes of the key players, including Mao Zedong, President Truman, Secretary of State Acheson, Minnesota congressman Walter Judd, and Madame Chiang Kai-shek, the influential first lady of the Republic of China. Today, the legacy of 1949 is more relevant than ever to the relationships between China, the United States, and the rest of the world, as Beijing asserts its claims in the South China Sea and tensions endure between Taiwan and the mainland.
