Softcover. Condition: Good. As good a rifle company as any, Easy Company, 506th Airborne Division, US Army, kept getting tough assignments--responsible for everything from parachuting into France early DDay morning to the capture of Hitler\'s Eagle\'s Nest at Berchtesgaden. In \"Band of Brothers,\" Ambrose tells of the men in this brave unit who fought, went hungry, froze & died, a company that took 150% casualties & considered the Purple Heart a badge of office. Drawing on hours of interviews with survivors as well as the soldiers\' journals & letters, Stephen Ambrose recounts the stories, often in the men\'s own words, of these American heroes.Foreword\"We wanted those wings\"; Camp Toccoa, 7-12/42\"Stand up & hook up\"; Benning, Mackall, Bragg, Shanks, 12/42-9/43\"Duties of the latrine orderly\"; Aldbourne, 9/43-3/44\"Look out, Hitler!

Softcover. Condition: Good. It was the middle of World War I. Two men one, a visionary British politician (Mark Sykes), the other, a veteran French diplomat (Francois Georges-Picot) secretly agreed to divide the Middle East. Britain would have mandates in newly created Palestine, Transjordan, and Iraq; France in Lebanon and Syria.For the next thirty years, this divide would make uneasy neighbors of two great powers and irreparably shape the Middle East.James Barr combs recently declassified French and British government archives and unearths a shocking secret war and its powerful effect on the local Arabs and Jews. He follows politicians, diplomats, and spies through intrigue and espionage to show us T. E. Lawrence\'s stealth guerrilla terror campaigns, and he journeys behind closed doors to discover why Britain courted the Zionist movement.Meticulously well researched and character-driven, A Line in the Sand crescendos with the violent birth of Israel, all along the way brimming with insight into a historically volatile region.
