Military Violence

Christopher Luke Jordan has been carrying around a truckload of guilt for something that wasn't even his fault. Still, it should have been him. He should be the one in the wheelchair, not her.

Through meticulously researched and stirring accounts — some well known and some chronicled here in book form for the first time — Doreen Rappaport brings to light the defiance of tens of thousands of Jews in Nazi-occupied Europe during World War II. These resisters answered the genocidal madness and unspeakable depravity that was Hitler’s Holocaust with the greatest weapons of all — courage, ingenuity, the will to survive, and the resolve to save others or to die trying.

Patrick Garr Slater has patiently, painfully waited for Macie to grow up. He was so focused on doing the right thing, he practically missed the fact that she’d grown up right in front of him.

It took me 37,287 words to describe the impact sexual trauma in the military has had on my life. It has taken me over 30 years to come to terms with my experience where I can now write about it and speak about it. I want to educate people about rape in the military. Perhaps I will be able to help others by sharing my experience. To keep silent just perpetuates the violence and reinforces the culture of rape that has been accepted in the military. My insight in this book will be helpful to both practitioners helping veterans and to other veterans suffering from sexual trauma as well.

Until recently, this localized violence was largely ignored, scholars focusing instead on large-scale operations of the war - the decisions and actions of generals and presidents. But as Daniel Sutherland reminds us, the impact of battles and elections cannot be properly understood without an examination of the struggle for survival on the home front, of lives lived in the atmosphere created by war.

Third, in the Jernigan's War series, Jernigan's Final Battle reunites Dix Jernigan with a handful of his fellow patriots in order to overcome a bastion of the evil former government.

Eli has been in business since he was twelve years old. He tried college and went to boarding school, but all he really wants out of life he already has. Except an omega, and he leaves home to go in search of his. Like Eli, Maze has known he was a shifter his whole life. His single mom is an omega and very independent. And wealthy. She came from money, told her conservative family to shove it, and ran off with what she pulled together to live the life she wanted (the same with Eli’s tamer mother).

When New Mexico became part of the United States, the territory contained 295 land grants, the largest of these being the Maxwell Land Grant. The size and boundaries of the grant were disputed, with some believing that much of the land was public domain. Settlers on this land were fought not only by the land grant owners but also by a group of corrupt politicians and lawyers— known as the Santa Fe Ring (most notably Thomas Catron and Stephen Elkins)—who tried to use the situation for personal profit and land acquisition.

We have a strong instinct to belong to small groups defined by clear purpose and understanding - "tribes". This tribal connection has been largely lost in modern society, but regaining it may be the key to our psychological survival.

Though the female fighter is often seen as an anomaly, women make up nearly 30 percent of militant movements worldwide. Historically, these women - viewed as victims, weak-willed wives, and prey to Stockholm Syndrome - have been deeply misunderstood. Radicalizing Her holds the female fighter up in all her complexity as a kind of mirror to contemporary conversations on gender, violence, and power.

During World War II, nurses from across the USA graduated from the Army Air Corps as second lieutenants.

These courageous "Nightingales of the Sky" work in grueling conditions and encounter ...

After learning about Nazi persecution of his family, Herschel Grynszpan (pronounced "Greenspan"), an impoverished 17-year-old Jew living in Paris, bought a small handgun and on November 7, 1938, went to the German embassy and shot the first German diplomat he saw. When the man died two days later, Hitler and Goebbels made the shooting their pretext for the great state-sponsored wave of anti-Semitic terror known as Kristallnacht, still seen by many as an initiating event of the Holocaust.
