 stock image, actual book may vary DEAR SERGEANT HONEY is a non-fiction compilation of the writings of the author's mother who was a member of the Women's Army Corps WAC in WW II. It details her 2 1 2 years of service from the time she was given a two day notice to report for duty, to basic training and overseas service. Hildie Molnar served overseas in a unique job. She kept a daily diary and wrote detailed letters home to family and friends. This is not a recollection but rather a day-by-day record as things happened to her in WW II. Every word was written by her as only someone who lived it could do. The author edited but never embellished her words. Editing was only done to keep the book a reasonable size. You will laugh at some of her descriptions of events and be prompted to reflect on the impact of this war through her eyes. She was one of the first WACs to serve in the European Theatre of Operations, ETO , received a Bronze Star for meritorious service, and one of the very few WACs who were entitled to wear combat ribbons for her service. You will find her reactions to these honors in the book. She met her husband-to-be in England. When they were separated they would write letters to each other with the greeting, "Dear Sergeant Honey." Don't expect ordinary love letters, though. Expect instead lyrical writing laced with cynicism, humor and commentaries on the war. This is a rare first person account of WW II seen through the eyes of a female soldier. You will never read anything like it. Please see the review below from the Military Writers Society of America.

 stock image, actual book may vary This is a true story about aninnocent 18-year old plucked from his small hometown in California who foundhimself at 19 riding in the nose of a heavy bomber under conditions he couldnot possibly have imagined. The book explores the excruciating tension betweenhis innocence and the raw reality of war. As a bombardier riding in a Plexiglas compartment, the author had a unique vantage point from which he could behold grand vistas. He witnessed the beauty of clouds and the highaltitude sky, the ever-changing scene below of sea, mountains, rivers and towns. But he also observed armadas of bombers stretching out ahead like flocksof geese, the horrifying barrages of black antiaircraft fire, the menace ofenemy interceptors and the heartbreaking spectacle of wounded bombers. This book follows the everyday activities of a bombardier in the 8th Air Force during World War II. There are no heroics in this account other than thecourage of men who performed their jobs despite withering enemy opposition andthe ever-present specter of sudden death. It is a collage of agonizingapprehensions, numbing fright, occasional pride, bitter disappointments, abjectloneliness, fits of anger and even good times. The author wrote the book in 1st person, present tense so that, in a sense, the reader could ride with him inthe glassed-in nose of a B-17. He bolstered his recollections of each missionwith raw facts gleaned from tattered and yellowing mission reports that are filed in neat folders in the National Archives in Washington, D.C. and from numerous letters sent to andkept by his parents.

 stock image, actual book may vary In Day of Deceit, Robert Stinnett delivers the definitive final chapter on America's greatest secret and our worst military disaster. Drawing on twenty years of research and access to scores of previously classified documents, Stinnett proves that Pearl Harbor was not an accident, a mere failure of American intelligence, or a brilliant Japanese military coup. By showing that ample warning of the attack was on FDR's desk and, furthermore, that a plan to push Japan into war was initiated at the highest levels of the U.S. government, he ends up profoundly altering our understanding of one of the most significant events in American history.

 stock image, actual book may vary After her Uncle's suicide, Terese Svoboda investigates his stunning claim that MPs may have executed their own men during the occupation of Japan after World war II Our captain commended us for being good soldiers and doing our job well and having a minimum of problems. Then he dropped a bomb. He said the prison was getting overcrowded, terribly overcrowded. As a child Terese Svoboda thought of her uncle as Superman, with "Black Clark Kent glasses, grapefruit-sized biceps." At eighty, he could still boast a washboard stomach, but in March 2004, he became seriously depressed. Svoboda investigates his terrifying story of what happened during his time as an MP, interviewing dozens of elderly ex-GIs and visiting Japan to try to discover the truth. In Black Glasses Like Clark Kent , winner of the Graywolf Nonfiction Prize, Svoboda offers a striking and carefully wrought personal account of an often painful search for information. She intersperses excerpts of her uncle's recordings and letters to his wife with her own research, and shows how the vagaries of military justice can allow the worst to happen and then be buried by time and protocol
