On December 1, 1941, the author's unit was sent to the southern Philippine island of Mindanao to establish an air base. Less than six months later, on May 10, 1942, Sergeant Nordin was captured by the Japanese. For two years he was imprisoned on Mindanao before boarding a Japanese hellship destined for Moji, Japan. He spent the remainder of the war working on the railroad in Yokkaichi. Throughout his time in captivity, the author detailed the conditions and his thoughts on the camps in a secret diary that became the basis of this work. This powerful story recounts the horrors of the prison camps, the torturous journey on the hellship, and the little things that provided him and his fellow prisoners the strength to survive.

O. Henry Prize-winning author Keith Banner's new collection of short fiction recounts the troubled lives of ne'er-do-wells and outsiders. Few writers capture the quintessence of awkward domesticity and growing up queer like Banner. The banality of life, whether it be trapped in front of the television or popping pills for E.D., is exposed and mocked with aplomb.

A laugh-out-loud guide for movie-lovers to match everyday emotions with complementary flicks. As all women know, movies are more than entertainment—they're medication. A good flick is like a soothing tonic that, if administered properly (and in combination with something obscenely high in calories), can cure everything from a bad hair day to full-fledged identity crisis. Cinematherapy: The Girl's Guide to Movies for Every Mood is a hilarious guide to films to suit women's every emotion (and boy do we have lots of them—as opposed to men, who basically have 'on' and 'off' switch).

An inner journey across space and time linking the "author" to other poets, this lyrical essay-poem continues Helene Cixous's rewriting of notions of boundary, self, other, and author. Cixous here interrogates the status of the author, connecting distant instances of herself with other writers who traverse genders, generations, and national boundaries. First Days of the Year is a celebration of beginnings and future possibilities, based on necessity and hope, constantly mediating writing and living, life and death. Like all of Cixous's profoundly original works, it seductively leads the reader into a new way of thinking by disrupting fixed ideas of psychic identity, subjectivity, and language.

Lay low, stay out of trouble and don't get pulled over. It was probably the best advice I'd ever had. How long until I ignored it? All Lachie Munro wants is a quiet life in sunny Newcastle. But Lachie and quiet don't seem to get along. When Lachie's estranged dad, Terry, turns up fresh out of prison, he's packing more than the usual family baggage. Suddenly there are two murderous goons on Lachie's doorstep and the police are paying him special attention. But Terry's on the hunt for a long-lost fortune, and he won't be leaving Newcastle - or Lachie - without it. Hiding to Nothing is the next caper from the master of beachside noir, Andy Muir, a wild ride driven by brilliant characters and fast-paced dialogue. The underworld has never been so much fun.

On April 4, 1943, ten American prisoners of war and two Filipino convicts executed a daring escape from one of Japan’s most notorious prison camps. The prisoners were survivors of the infamous Bataan Death March and the Fall of Corregidor, and the prison from which they escaped was surrounded by an impenetrable swamp and reputedly escape-proof. Theirs was the only successful group escape from a Japanese POW camp during the Pacific war. Escape from Davao is the story of one of the most remarkable incidents in the Second World War and of what happened when the Americans returned home to tell the world what they had witnessed. Davao Penal Colony, on the southern Philippine island of Mindanao, was a prison plantation where thousands of American POWs toiled alongside Filipino criminals and suffered from tropical diseases and malnutrition, as well as the cruelty of their captors. The American servicemen were rotting in a hellhole from which escape was considered impossible, but ten of them, realizing that inaction meant certain death, planned to escape. Their bold plan succeeded with the help of Filipino allies, both patriots and the guerrillas who fought the Japanese sent to recapture them. Their trek to freedom repeatedly put the Americans in jeopardy, yet they eventually succeeded in returning home to the United States to fulfill their self-appointed mission: to tell Americans about Japanese atrocities and to rally the country to the plight of their comrades still in captivity. But the government and the military had a different timetable for the liberation of the Philippines and ordered the men to remain silent. Their testimony, when it finally emerged, galvanized the nation behind the Pacific war effort and made the men celebrities. Over the decades this remarkable story, called the “greatest story of the war in the Pacific” by the War Department in 1944, has faded away. Because of wartime censorship, the full story has never been told until now. John D. Lukacs spent years researching this heroic event, interviewing survivors, reading their letters, searching archival documents, and traveling to the decaying prison camp and its surroundings. His dramatic, gripping account of the escape brings this remarkable tale back to life, where a new generation can admire the resourcefulness and patriotism of the men who fought the Pacific war.

Jozef Demcak B. A.Graduated at University of Czechoslovakia with Academic Title Mgr.- Magister.Witnessed first hand suffering of innocent citizens Communist system brought to Czechoslovakia, when his mom and dad were robbed of their small bakery.It wasn't hard to recognize cruelty of communist system, when it was OK to rob by Government Officials and visiting the church could be used against you.In 1968, when Soviets invaded his homeland, Jozef escaped to Canada and became High school teacher. After more than 20 years it looked that it was safe to visit mom and dad.It was too late for Jozef to find out that Slovaks are building democracy by old corrupted communist creeps.Jozef was kidnapped by police car, kept for ransom in government jail, was tortured.Piles of documents were fabricated, number of signatures forged, children abused, families destroyed, just to cover up illegal acts of corrupted Slovak police and other bastards in Slovak justice system to get finances from Jozef.Jozef is probably most qualifying person in the world to understand what is going on in all communist and post communist jails, because he was in one of them.He understands how brains of abusers work, because he studied psychology and Marks-Lenin dogma. He had also grown up with some of the abusers. Most importantly he survived torture on his own skin.All this knowledge and experience is wasted by Canadian Government as they do not want to hear about it.If they did, somebody could ask the question:- Why didn't they try to stop abuse when it was taking place and why they are defending abusers now.Jozef has written this story for only one reason. He believes strongly that everybody should do something becauseTORTURE and ABUSE MUST STOP.
