There is the mythology of the Green Berets, of their clandestine, special operations as celebrated in story and song. And then there is the reality of one soldier’s experience, the day-to-day loss and drudgery of a Green Beret such as H. Lee Barnes, whose story conveys the daily grind and quiet desperation behind polished-for-public-consumption accounts of military heroics. In When We Walked Above the Clouds, Barnes tells what it was like to be a Green Beret, first in the Dominican Republic during the civil war of 1965, and then at A-107, Tra Bong, Vietnam. There, he eventually came to serve as the advisor to a Combat Recon Platoon, which consisted chiefly of Montagnard irregulars. Though “nothing extraordinary,” as Barnes saw it, his months of simply doing what the mission demanded make for sobering reading: the mundane business of killing rats, cleaning guns, and building bunkers renders the intensity of patrols and attacks all the more harrowing. More than anything, Barnes’s story is one of loss—of morale lost to alcoholism, teammates lost to friendly fire, missions aborted, and missions endlessly and futilely repeated. As the story advances, so does the attrition—teammates transferred, innocence cast off, confidence in leadership whittled away. And yet, against this dark background, Barnes still manages to honor the quiet professionals whose service, overshadowed by the outsized story of Vietnam, nonetheless carried the day.

The book portrays his excitement as he trod his beloved hills at first in summer and then in winter snow, and his joy at the beauty of nature.

He So Loved written by Terry Lawrence and has been published by iUniverse this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2010-05-06 with Poetry categories.
He So Loved, by Terry Lawrence, is a heartfelt compilation of poems of inspiration and encouragement, and is a sequel to his successful 2009 book, On the Wings of a Dove. The obvious theme of this book stems from John 3:16, “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.” Within the silence of our minds rests a stillness that serves as a protective barrier against the troubles and worries we face every day. It’s an area deep within our soul where we so oft en retreat to when problems become oppressive. It’s our internal safeguard of solace where escapes can be free of pain and comfort an easing solution to life’s parameters. But these escapes can only be a temporary remedy away from the anxieties of life because without an unfeigned commitment to the Heavenly Father, eluding life’s trials can never bring about the peace and joy we so fervently seek. So oft en through life we tend to believe that we are invincible, that we are strong, or that we are capable of survival of any circumstance. However, in essence, we are vulnerable, we are weak, and we are consumed with defeat without the power of God within our soul and within our heart. His power is strength. It is indestructible. Impregnable. Unchallenged. And absolutely nothing in this world, or the evil spirits that permeate and surround our existence, can ever compete with the power of the Heavenly Father. He provides to us His strength, His wisdom, and His fortitude to combat any adverse situation that may confront us along our path of life on this earth. Our belief and faith in Him are the only things required from us to experience peace and joy on the short road of life on earth, while our reward is to live life in His Kingdom forever and forever, as so simply stated in John 3:16. Expressing himself through his poems, Terry’s joy is derived from the intent of inspiring others, touching their heart, bringing them some inspiration or encouragement in troubling times, or providing a glimpse of the Guiding Light that reflects the power and the glory of the Heavenly Father. In 2008, Terry published his first book, Journey of Life, followed by his second and third books, The Right Path Taken and On the Wings of a Dove in 2009. He is a member of the Academy of American Poets, the Washington Poets Association, the Oregon Poets Association, the Arizona Authors Association, the Poetry Society of America, and the Poetry Society of London.

Poetry is a wonderful stage that allows me an opportunity to enact aspects of my personal life, a helicopter vision that journeys back into my past and zoom those intense involvement and self discovery as silhouetted against the background of my family, my friends, my work, my hobbies, my challenges, my areas of development, the world, things I treasure, things I cherish and love and forces outside my control that continues to exert their influence and direct courses of my life. Poems in this book are carefully and specifically selected as they continue to invoke the bad and the lovely memories, mixed emotions and thoughts - a package of everyday life. Despite its challenges, unbearable pressures, unfairness, double standards and imperfection, it is still our beautiful life worth of praise!

A breathtaking, suspenseful story of one man’s obsessive search to find the truth of another man’s downfall, from the author of The King Is Always Above the People, which was longlisted for the 2017 National Book Award for Fiction. Nelson’s life is not turning out the way he hoped. His girlfriend is sleeping with another man, his brother has left their South American country, leaving Nelson to care for their widowed mother, and his acting career can’t seem to get off the ground. That is, until he lands a starring role in a touring revival of The Idiot President, a legendary play by Nelson’s hero, Henry Nunez, leader of the storied guerrilla theater troupe Diciembre. And that’s when the real trouble begins. The tour takes Nelson out of the shelter of the city and across a landscape he’s never seen, which still bears the scars of the civil war. With each performance, Nelson grows closer to his fellow actors, becoming hopelessly entangled in their complicated lives, until, during one memorable performance, a long-buried betrayal surfaces to force the troupe into chaos. Nelson’s fate is slowly revealed through the investigation of the narrator, a young man obsessed with Nelson’s story—and perhaps closer to it than he lets on. In sharp, vivid, and beautiful prose, Alarcón delivers a compulsively readable narrative and a provocative meditation on fate, identity, and the large consequences that can result from even our smallest choices.
