It was the war that lasted ten thousand days. The war that inspired scores of songs. The war that sparked dozens of riots. And in this stirring chronicle, Pulitzer Prize- winning journalist Philip Caputo writes about our country's most controversial war -- the Vietnam War -- for young readers. From the first stirrings of unrest in Vietnam under French colonial rule, to American intervention, to the battle at Hamburger Hill, to the Tet Offensive, to the fall of Saigon, 10,000 Days of Thunder explores the war that changed the lives of a generation of Americans and that still reverberates with us today. Included within 10,000 Days of Thunder are personal anecdotes from soldiers and civilians, as well as profiles and accounts of the actions of many historical luminaries, both American and Vietnamese, involved in the Vietnam War, such as Richard M. Nixon, General William C. Westmoreland, Ho Chi Minh, Joe Galloway, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Lyndon B. Johnson, and General Vo Nguyen Giap. Caputo also explores the rise of Communism in Vietnam, the roles that women played on the battlefield, the antiwar movement at home, the participation of Vietnamese villagers in the war, as well as the far-reaching impact of the war's aftermath. Caputo's dynamic narrative is highlighted by stunning photographs and key campaign and battlefield maps, making 10,000 Days of Thunder THE consummate book on the Vietnam War for kids.

When a beautiful princess refuses to marry the prince her father has chosen, her father is furious and locks her in a tower. She has seven long years of solitude to think about her insolence. But the princess is not entirely alone - she has her maid, Dashti. Petulant and spoilt, the princess eats the food in their meagre store as if she were still at court, and Dashti soon realises they must either escape or slowly starve. But during their captivity, resourceful Dashti discovers that there is something far more sinister behind her princess's fears of marrying the prince, and when they do break free from the tower, they find a land laid to waste and the kingdom destroyed. They were safe in the tower, now they are at the mercy of the evil prince with a terrible secret. Thrilling, captivating, and a masterful example of storytelling at its best. The princess's maid is a feisty and thoroughly modern heroine, in this wonderfully timeless story.

Ten Thousand Days is the tale of Aark, father, husband, post-feminist man of the twenty first century who embarks on a journey of self-discovery in the Empty Quarter of the Arabian Desert. Life’s great challenges have brought a craftsman into the midst of an ancient Bedouin community. Unbeknown to himself he is travelling into the truth of an ancient prophesy. He is a holy man lost in Gods great cauldron of nature. He has a lesson to learn and one to teach. Aark is dying, yet his life has meaning beyond many and his mission more vital than most. He is an inventor of necessity, in a landscape of great need. In a place where life and death cling by a filament, Aark becomes not only a survivor but a saviour to those in his orbit. As we journey with him through the last sands of his time in life, we learn of his trials, the past that haunts him, his failed marriage, his greatest hopes. We are renewed with Aark as his spirit repairs through invention and discovery. Aark is as close as modern man gets to the incarnation of a saint. He has overcome the complexities of modern living, and yet managed to maintain his spirit intact. Come, travel with Aark, a lost soul, who life has catapulted into the sparse dangerous world of the desert. Join in the magic realism of a secret allegorical world of twenty first century man. Quench spiritual thirst and satisfy emotional hunger as together you learn how survival is not the only lesson taught by the desert inhabitants. Weave your way through this beguiling tale and trust the path of a man whose spirit, although bruised by the inadequacies of life in the real world, remains unbroken. Feel his anguish as you share the thrilling roller coaster spirals of Aark’s descent into an abyss of paranoia and memory loss, only to be rescued by his own fortitude and strength of character. Wonder in awe as you rediscover the ancient art of water harvesting in God’s fiery cauldron. Gain a deeper understanding of the hardships endured by its inhabitants simply to ensure the basics of life are sustained. Journey with Aark through this mysterious stunning landscape. You may, like Aark, find within a deep fresh rejuvenating source of spiritual nourishment and healing. Wander together as he weaves onward to an inevitable release from his inner turmoil, and travel home, with a greater understanding of self and the fragility of life. Embark on this journey through the traumatic realities faced by us all, as we endure the complexities of modern life. Discover sensitively and unobtrusively how through determination and inner resolve we can overcome the challenges of contemporary living. Learn from Aark how to nurture and sustain relationships in greater equilibrium. Enjoy this story of the triumph of hope over despair. Let its simplicity transform or delve deeper, if so desired. Only the brave need journey on….

As founding editor of Creative Nonfiction and architect of the genre, Lee Gutkind played a crucial role in establishing literary, narrative nonfiction in the marketplace and in the academy. A longstanding advocate of New Journalism, he has reported on a wide range of issues—robots and artificial intelligence, mental illness, organ transplants, veterinarians and animals, baseball, motorcycle enthusiasts—and explored them all with his unique voice and approach. In My Last Eight Thousand Days, Gutkind turns his notepad and tape recorder inward, using his skills as an immersion journalist to perform a deep dive on himself. Here, he offers a memoir of his life as a journalist, editor, husband, father, and Pittsburgh native, not only recounting his many triumphs, but also exposing his missteps and challenges. The overarching concern that frames these brave, often confessional stories, is his obsession and fascination with aging: how aging provoked anxieties and unearthed long-rooted tensions, and how he came to accept, even enjoy, his mental and physical decline. Gutkind documents the realities of aging with the characteristically blunt, melancholic wit and authenticity that drive the quiet force of all his work.
