BUY A GAIL KEO DOLL (air Assault)


Book Description

The Japanese new-fangled regime publicized itself as a self-sufficient, self-sustaining entity, freed from big brother USA and the United Nations' sphere of influence, asserting itself as anti-big brother USA and realigning its sphere of influence with North Korea and China. A more severe and brutal blow to big brother USA and the Marshal Plan, Taiwan had effectively expelled the US-UN forces from its soil; Taipei, its military paralleled to that of the Japanese, declared itself free from big brother USA and UN's supremacy, authority and sphere of influence. The Chinese had productively formed the Communist Asian Pack with Japan and Taiwan; the three communist countries and communist North Korea, forming the CAP, were strongly behind Pyongyang and its passion of turning South Korea into a communist country and reuniting the North and South to outline Seoul and Pyongyang into one Korea--a Communist Korea; once Seoul fell to Pyongyang, China had guaranteed Taipei 150-years of independence--free from China's sphere of influence and authoritarianism. That was what the Taiwanese have wanted for years, independence from mainland China, a package that was too good to pass on, a promise that big brother USA-UN cannot proffer. The Korean War2's sonata, more rapidly than the speed of light, forced its resonance into us with the proverbial reverberations of fighter air assaults, howitzer artillery, helicopter gunships, rocket-propelled grenades, machineguns, small arm cannons, revolvers and rifles--boom, thump-swish, ka-boom, bang-bang-bang-bang-bang, papa-papa-papa!...and on and on and on.




The Way the Crow Flies


Book Description

“The sun came out after the war and our world went Technicolor. Everyone had the same idea. Let’s get married. Let’s have kids. Let’s be the ones who do it right.” The Way the Crow Flies, the second novel by bestselling, award-winning author Ann-Marie MacDonald, is set on the Royal Canadian Air Force station of Centralia during the early sixties. It is a time of optimism--infused with the excitement of the space race but overshadowed by the menace of the Cold War--filtered through the rich imagination and quick humour of eight-year-old Madeleine McCarthy and the idealism of her father, Jack, a career officer. Ann-Marie MacDonald said in a discussion with Oprah Winfrey about her first book, “a happy ending is when someone can walk out of the rubble and tell the story.” Madeleine achieves her childhood dream of becoming a comedian, yet twenty years later she realises she cannot rest until she has renewed the quest for the truth, and confirmed how and why the child was murdered.. Publishers Weekly, in a starred review, called The Way the Crow Flies “absorbing, psychologically rich…a chronicle of innocence betrayed”. With compassion and intelligence, and an unerring eye for the absurd as well as the confusions of childhood, , MacDonald evokes the confusion of being human and the necessity of coming to terms with our imperfections.




"When Pigs and Horses Fly"


Book Description

Adventure icon Hannah Lyndsey Brown was a throw back, a kind of human time capsule who embodied the morality and values of a different era. She'd spent years crossing oceans, solo, on her own sailboat, away from urban society and her home country. She came home to new rules. Now she was about to go on a journey she'd never signed up for . . . one that would be a masterclass that would change her forever. ""When Pigs and Horses Fly"", is a novel that shares adventure icon Hannah Lyndsey Brown's memoir of an incredible journey/adventure that takes her across a raw, uncensored America, and then on a wild voyage up to Alaska's Prince William Sound, and, finally, an accidental sojourn in a mysterious, secret place hidden in plain sight in the Hawaiian archipelago. There are warnings, too, in this book that the reader dare not ignore; under the new rules people don't fuss over your serious injury or death at the hands of those you trust most.
