Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The Diesel That Did It tells the story of the legendary diesel-electric locomotive, the FT.As war loomed in 1939, American railroads were on the precipice of railroad transformation. In an obscure factory in La Grange, Illinois, a group of gifted engineers and designers were planning a revolution that would shake railroading to its foundations and eventually put the steam locomotive out of business. Their creation, the FT, was a diesel-electric, semi-streamlined freight engine. The FT would establish a new standard for reliability, flexibility, and cost, but its arrival unsettled many railroad employees and gave fresh ammunition to their labor unions, who believed that it threatened a century-old culture.Wallace W. Abbey's The Diesel That Did It is the story of a revolution. He explores how EMC (and its successor Electro-Motive Division of General Motors) conceived the FT, and how it ultimately emerged as the dominant locomotive power plant for 20 years. However, for Abbey, the history of the Santa Fe Railway and the FT go hand in hand. The Diesel That Did It also offers a penetrating look at how the great American railroad, at the height of its Super Chief glamor, threw its conservative mechanical traditions aside to bet big on the diesel. Showcasing more than 140 exquisite photographs by Abbey and other noted photographers, The Diesel That Did It is a captivating story not to be missed by railroaders and railfans. -Explores the history and evolotion of the FT, the train that put an end to steam locomotives in the US.Wallace Abbey is an almost legendary figure in the world of railroad and train photography.-Features more than 140 photos from Abbey's collection which are either previously unpublished or rarely seen of the FT.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - A Novel of Trauma, Vengeance, and the Unbreakable Spirit of a WarriorDr. Kara Quiverly has spent her entire life being forged into a weapon. Raised in the shadows by a mysterious guardian known only as 'Uncle Marcus,' she was trained from infancy in martial arts, languages, and combat disciplines across a dozen countries-from the dojos of Okinawa to the battlefields of Israel. A Yale graduate and Harvard master's recipient, she served eight years as a Marine, leading Female Engagement Teams in Afghanistan, where she earned a Silver Star for bravery under fire.But nothing prepared her for Cologne on New Year's Eve.When a mob of thirty men attacks Kara and her three closest friends in the shadow of the cathedral, her military training kicks in-but even a lioness can be overwhelmed. What follows is a brutal sexual assault that shatters the academic life she has built at the University of Leicester and awakens something far more dangerous: a vigilante hunger for justice.As Kara hunts her attackers across Europe, she uncovers Al-Mawj, a vast criminal network of former Syrian intelligence officers using human trafficking to destabilize Western nations. With help from an old Green Beret comrade, a German detective, and the three women who refuse to abandon her, Kara becomes Die Wiedergängerin-the Avenger.Part military thriller, part meditation on trauma and recovery, Lioness of Cologne explores the cost of violence, the bonds of female friendship, and the terrifying power of a woman who refuses to be a victim.Includes a foreword honoring the real women of the FETs and Cultural Support Teams.Dr. Kevin P. Wallace is a retired USAF senior master sergeant, Purple Heart recipient, and combat veteran of Afghanistan.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 979-8-950350-07-8 'Don't Look / Can't Look' by Kevin P. Wallace is a harrowing, visceral memoir presented as a fusion of photography and poetry. The book chronicles Wallace's journey from an innocent, optimistic 15-year-old discovering photography to a combat veteran suffering from severe PTSD following multiple deployments to Afghanistan.The narrative is fragmented but powerful, moving from peaceful childhood memories to the brutal realities of war. What makes this book unique is its raw format: photographs are paired directly with poems, creating a constant interplay between what is seen and what is internalized. Wallace captures heartbreaking scenes-Afghan children, like the young girl whose eyes he later ripped out of a print to represent her impending forced marriage, and a toddler whose arm was boiled by his father as punishment. He also captures intense combat action, including the detonation of a 2,000-pound bomb and the immediate moments before his own team is wounded by an RPG.The poetry matches the photos in intensity. Poems like 'A Blade of Grass' and 'The dancing boy' directly confront the horror of Bacha Bazi (the sexual abuse of young boys) and the deep-seated misogyny Wallace witnessed. A central theme is the profound moral injury and psychological cost of war. Wallace grapples with the irony of killing evil men to protect the innocent, only to feel his own soul become warped, blackened, and, upon returning home, incapable of being a loving husband or father.Ultimately, this book is a raw therapeutic document. It forces the reader to look at the untold psychological devastation of modern warfare-the trauma, guilt, and haunting memories that 'stomp with a monstrous foot' long after the deployment ends. It is a testament to resilience but also a stark warning about the invisible wounds carried home by soldiers.…
