The American Football League

A Year-by-Year History, 1960-1969

By: Ed Gruver

Unable to buy into an existing team and rebuffed by National Football League owners who had no desire to expand, 27-year-old Lamar Hunt, the son of Texas billionaire H.L. Hunt, formed the American Football League in 1959. He placed his team in Dallas, called them the Texans, and invited other young entrepreneurs to join him. The seven men who did called themselves members of the "Foolish Club," but on September 9, 1960, the AFL made its regular season debut and went on to change the face of football forever. Unlike the NFL, the American Football League featured wide open offenses and innovative coaching strategies, capturing a new generation of fans dedicated to the league and its players. The AFL aggressively pursued college stars--Heisman Trophy winner Billy Cannon in its inaugural season and Joe Namath in 1965. The eight teams signed a collective television agreement that split the money equally among the franchises, thus providing far more stability and balance than earlier start-up leagues. Based on interviews with owners, coaches, players, scouts, broadcasters and writers from the era, this is a colorful account of the AFL and its place in sports history.

Chomolungma Sings the Blues

Travels Round Everest

By: Ed Douglas

Everest, a mountain known all around the world and surrounded by the tragic romanticism of climbers risking everything for a dream. Although much has been written on the feats and accomplishments of these climbers, what about the people who actually live in the shadow of the mountain and the ways cimbers and trekkers affect their lives? Ed Douglas spent time traveling in Nepal and Tibet, talking to politicians, environmentalists and moutaineers, to local people who live around the mountain they call Chomolungma, Goddess Mother of the World. This sensitive account of Douglas' travels explores the issues facing a region struggling to develop and change-issues brought on by the growing mountaineering and trekking industries, issues that go far beyond how to clear up all the piling rubbish climbers leave behind. With honesty and humor Chomolungma Sings the Blues sheds a new and different light on the mountain and its people.

Doors

By: Ed McBain

A cautious New York burglar risks his neck for the score of a lifetime in this rollicking thriller by the bestselling author of the 87th Precinct series. Alex Hardy is the finest thief in New York City. A crib burglar, he robs apartments—never hotels, never offices, never liquor stores, never jewelers. Strictly apartments, and strictly during the day. He’s paranoid, ready to cut and run as soon as a job turns sour—he’s already been to prison once, and he doesn’t plan on getting caught again—but he’s about to get the offer of a lifetime, the big make he’s always been looking for. How can he say no? This could set him up for life—but it could also send him back to Sing Sing for good. The stake revolves around Daisy, a one-legged hooker who spends Thursday afternoons at the home of a Westchester millionaire. It would be simple if Alex wasn’t increasingly distracted by Jessica, his square neighbor who has no idea he’s a burglar and seems to like him. Between these two very different women lies the biggest opportunity of Alex’s life. Will he get his hands on it before the alarms start to sound? A heist story in the tradition of Lawrence Block or Donald E. Westlake, Doors is a brilliantly detailed story of how to steal—and why—from legendary Mystery Writers of America Grand Master Ed McBain.

NAVY MEN PRESIDENTS: Book 1 - Eternal Flame Trilogy

Love Laughter Courage

By: Ed Delker

NAVY MEN PRESIDENTS NOVELS BY ED DELKER. Eternal Flame Trilogy. Red Teagan, the ninety year-old former Secretary of the Navy during the Kennedy Administration, sends a letter to the Chief of Naval Operations stating a Navy Man was responsible for President Kennedy's death! Two Navy Intelligence officers are dispatched to Red Teagan's home and learn Secretary Teagan was Jack Kennedy's closest and truest best friend no one ever heard about. Red takes the Navy officers on an enthralling twenty-two year journey from when he first met the future president till the fateful day a rouge operation, Eternal Flame, claims President Kennedy's life. The trilogy is a buddy story between true best friends filled with mystery, action, adventure, love, and plenty of humor. WWII provides many men and women opportunities and destinies never thought possible. Tremendous social changes for both men and women from 1942 to 1964 provide the backdrop for these strong male and female characters. After reading the trilogy, one test reader said they constantly dreamt about what the characters will do next. A fourth installment of the Navy Men Presidents, REDEMPTION, covering the Johnson presidency is in the works. With six Navy Men Presidents in the last half of the Twentieth Century, there are many more buddy stories to tell. Book 1- Eternal Flame Trilogy, Love*Laughter*Courage. Red Teagan starts his cautionary tale describing himself and Jack Kennedy as typical young men of their generation seeking love, surviving on laughter and finding courage to cope with the horrors of war. A chance meeting on a remote South Pacific island during WWII by Red and Jack with three other junior Navy officers, Johnson, Nixon and Ford opens all of their eyes to great possibilities, a future that would not be possible if not for the war. A native mystic decrees Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon and Ford are men destined to become President but their collective destiny flows through Jack's destiny. The native mystic anoints Red as Jack's Spirit Keeper responsible for protecting Jack and keeping him true to his destiny as the first Navy Man president. Book 2 - Eternal Flame Trilogy, Mastema. The future Navy Men Presidents return home and resume their peacetime lives and careers. Red works behind the scene on Jack's campaign for Congress. Nixon, Johnson and Ford also rapidly advance their political careers. However, evil followed Red and Jack home from the war in the Pacific and threatens Jack's life. Red and other veterans from the war battle a serial killer called Mastema. When Mastema plays psychological games with the Navy Men, the battle becomes personal spawning a manhunt by law enforcement and intelligence services across the globe. Book 3 - Eternal Flame Trilogy, Operation Eternal Flame Destiny Achieved. Red helps preserve Jack's presidency by effectively working in the background. He is viewed as a Kennedy wartime crony by the establishment and not taken seriously. Regardless, Jack appoints Red Undersecretary of the Navy. When the CIA identifies a rogue operation within the U.S. Government with the mission to assassinate Jack, Red once again marshals the Navy Men and wartime comrades. Forces within the Government undercut Red's efforts and Red enlists the help of his two young aides and "off the books assets" to head off the former Marine sniper, Lee Harvey Oswald. The remaining Navy Men Presidents rally to preserve Jack's legacy.

Apache

Inside the Cockpit of the World's Most Deadly Fighting Machine

By: Ed Macy

“A truly amazing portrayal of the technical, the emotional, and the courageous. Macy puts the reader in the cockpit of our most lethal attack platform.” —Dick Couch, New York Times–bestselling author Apache is the incredible true story of Ed Macy, a decorated Apache helicopter pilot, that takes you inside one of the world’s most dangerous war machines. A firsthand account of the exhilaration and ferocity of war, Apache chronicles a rescue mission involving a stranded soldier in Afghanistan in 2007. Ed Macy had always dreamed of a career in the army, so when the British Army Air Corps launched its attack helicopter program, Macy bent every rule in the book to make sure he was the first to sign up to fly the Apache—the deadliest, most technically advanced helicopter in the world and the toughest to fly. In 2007, Macy’s Apache squadron was dispatched to Afghanistan’s notorious Helmand Province with the mission to fight alongside and protect the men on the ground by any means necessary. When a marine goes missing in action, Macy and his team know they are the Army’s only hope of bringing him back alive. Apache is Macy’s story—an adrenalin-fueled account of one of the most daring actions of modern wartime, and a tale of courage, danger, and comradeship you won’t be able to put down. “A fantastic, totally exhilarating roller-coaster read.” —Sgt. Maj. Dan Mills, author of Sniper One

US Marine in World War I

By: Ed Gilbert,Catherine Gilbert

The words 'Retreat? Hell, we just got here' have become a central part of the legend of the US Marine Corps, indicative of its reputation for dogged determination and bravery. Uttered at the height of the fierce battle for Bellau Wood, the phrase came to define the Corps, establishing their 'first to fight' ethos in the public eye. This history follows the experiences of the Marines during the Great War, from their training in the US and France through the fighting in the trenches and battlefields of the Western Front and right up to their occupation duties in the Rhineland. Packed with first-hand accounts and detailed information from the USMC History Division at Quantico, and published to coincide with the 100th anniversary of America's involvement in World War I, this is a timely analysis of one of the US Marine Corps' finest hours.

I Like 'Em Tough

By: Ed McBain

Legendary author of the 87th Precinct series Ed McBain presents six hardboiled detective stories starring Curt Cannon, one of the toughest sleuths ever created. Private detective Curt Cannon has lost his wife, his license, and his will to live, and now all he wants is to crawl into the bottom of a bottle and wait to die. He’s in the middle of a bender when Peter D’Allessio finds him and begs him to help get his addict son off the needle. Unwilling to be distracted from his own self-loathing, Curt tells Peter off. Dejected, the little old man is stepping out the doorway when two bullets tear through the air, leaving him dead on the floor of a fetid dive. Curt wants nothing to do with this rotten case, but the mystery has him by the throat and won’t let go. To bring the dead man justice, he’ll have to climb out of the gutter and remember what it means to be a detective. The story that introduced Curt Cannon, “Die Hard” is as gritty as mysteries come. Along with the five other stories in this remarkable collection, it’s a testament to the limitless talent of Mystery Writers of America Grand Master Ed McBain.

The Goose Creek Bridge

Gateway to Sacred Places

By: Michael J. Heitzler, Ed.D.

The Goose Creek Bridge is the gateway to the Saint James, Goose Creek Parish in South Carolina and the church, cemeteries, chapels, and sanctuaries within. The work chronicles the bridge as it conveyed congregants to the pews of the church on selected Easter Sundays during every era of the three-hundred year saga and describes from that perspective, key personalities and their salient institutions transcending centuries in a small but critically important section of South Carolina. Readers find an in-depth description of the Yamassee War from the perspective of those residing in its vortex. The work chronicles English soldiers chasing wily patriots on both sides of the aging bridge and three generations later, young black warriors of the United States Army with equally youthful white officers camping near the overpass. This comprehensive account explains the trauma of wars and the aftermaths, as well as the impact of public roads, taverns, rail lines and the durable values of the old and new south upon the rural people, and their sacred institutions.

Fishing and Tying Small Flies

By: Ed Engle

When fishing gets tough, fly fishers might be tempted to use bigger, flashier flies, but expert angler Ed Engle knows that tiny, sparsely dressed flies often work when nothing else will. With a little attention to tying the flies and fishing technique, fly fishers will take trout on flies as small as 24, 28, and even 30. Now combining his two classic books on small fly tying and fishing in one updated, second-edition volume, Engle covers the patterns and how to fish them. You’ll learn how to find and observe trout in small-fly water, how to evaluate the major small-fly hatches, how to fish the surface and below, and how to strike, play, and land trout on tiny flies. Engle deftly covers small-fly history and how the flies have developed. Tying tools, special materials, specific patterns for aquatic insects, tying techniques, and a full complement of patterns complete the book.

The Green Leaves of Winter

By: E.D. Lambert

In 2004 I joined a writing group run by two lectures from The University of East Anglia. The result of which is my book The Green Leaves of Winter a collection of short stories and poems. The stories and poems are mostly humorous, serious, horrific with a strong sexual element. The inclusion of the poems breaks up the stories making the book a more interesting read. The stories range from bare fist fighting, naughty Nuns, Black Shuck the devil s dog, even god trying to make prettier bums for his angels, and a dog on trial trying to stop them removing his nuts ! Truly a strange story collection.

The Treasure Discovered

Forever Man—Book 4

By: Ed Booth

As Christian listened, he was again taken aback by Michaels response to the man who, for more than twenty-five years, had tried having him destroyed. Livid with anger, Christian shouted out, Kill him! Why spare one who is a minion of Satan? Send him into the abyss to join with his companions! With a look of irritation, Michael replied, For one, I did not send the beasts into the abyss. I do not have the power to do so. And two, who are you or I to pass judgment upon a man? And yes, he is a man, a deceived man. The Word of God has a plan for Damon Weirguld, and his plan for him must play itself out! Christian shrunk back after Michaels rebuke, though in his heart, he was not sure he was satisfied with Michaels answer. Christians thoughts went back, and he rehashed all the evil that Damon had perpetrated upon him for the last twenty-five years. Even now, the mans hatred for Christian was evidenced by his attack. Knowing what Christian was thinking, Michael responded, Yes, he has, but Damon was created to do just as he has done. If not for his actions, the Word of God would not be where it is today. It is just as the religious leaders during the time of Jesus. They performed just as the Word of God knew they would. They demanded that Jesus be sent to the cross. What appears to be evil in your eyes does not mean that God needs your approval to carry out his plans. Sometimes, it is the very things we strive against that God uses to advance his Word!

Going 15 Rounds With Jerry Izenberg

A Collection Of Interviews With The Legendary Columnist

By: Ed Odeven

Jerry Izenberg’s career in newspapers began eight decades ago as a college student. And since 1962, he has penned sports columns for The Star-Ledger, a New Jersey newspaper. Memories from throughout his career, insights on mentors and general impressions of historic figures (Muhammad Ali, Grambling University football coach Eddie Robinson, thoroughbred legend Secretariat and columnists Red Smith and Jim Murray, among others) provide an overview of what he's observed and written about in his distinguished career, which included 53 consecutive Super Bowls through 2019. Izenberg’s upbringing in New Jersey ignited a love of baseball at a young age, and tales from the ballpark are presented, from the 1930s in Newark to Fidel Castro in Havana in the late 1950s to decades later. Izenberg connected with people and told meaningful stories about their lives, including Nelson Mandela's after meeting him and watching Olympic boxing with him in the stands in Barcelona in 1992. It's a topic briefly explored in the book. Above all, Going 15 Rounds With Jerry Izenberg illuminates the breadth and depth of his extraordinary career and gives a wide range of prominent sports media members an opportunity to also reflect on his career and legacy.

Americans in Occupied Belgium, 1914-1918

Accounts of the War from Journalists, Tourists, Troops and Medical Staff

By: Ed Klekowski,Libby Klekowski

Belgium in the First World War--the first country invaded, the longest occupied, and when the war finally ended, the first forgotten. In 1914, Belgium was home to a large American colony which included representatives of American companies, artists, writers and diplomats with the American Legation. After the invasion, American journalists and adventurers flocked there to follow the action; military restrictions on travel were less stringent than in England or France. As the most industrialized country in Europe, Belgium depended upon trade and food imports to support its economy. The war isolated Belgium and wholesale starvation was imminent by the fall of 1914. Herbert Hoover and his Commission for Relief in Belgium raised funds to purchase and import food to sustain Belgium and, eventually, Occupied France as well. Idealistic American volunteers (including some Rhodes scholars) supervised food distribution in the occupation zone. Along the Western Front in Belgium, hundreds of Americans served (illegally) in the British and Canadian armies. This book tells the story of the German invasion, occupation and retreat from the perspective of Americans who were there.

The dominating Blanc Mont Ridge complex in the Champagne region of France was home to some of the most complex German defences on the Western Front. Its heights offered artillery observation that made even approaching the ridge virtually suicidal. Pessimistic about the ability of depleted and demoralized French units to capture the position, Général Henri Gouraud was granted the use of two American divisions: the veteran 2nd “Indianhead” Division, including the 4th (Marine) Brigade, and the untested 36th “Arrowhead” Division of the Texas and Oklahoma National Guard. This fully illustrated book describes this Allied offensive with American troops in the vanguard, and shows how despite the heavy losses it sustained to both manpower and supporting armour, they eventually forced the Germans to abandon most of the region in one of the largest withdrawals of the war.

Blackwing

By: Ed McDonald

“A remarkably assured fantasy debut that mixes of the inventiveness of China Miéville with the fast paced heroics of David Gemmell.”—Anthony Ryan, New York Times bestselling author of The Legion of Flame Set on a postapocalyptic frontier, Blackwing is a gritty fantasy debut about a man’s desperate battle to survive his own dark destiny... Hope, reason, humanity: the Misery breaks them all. Under its cracked and wailing sky, the Misery is a vast and blighted expanse, the arcane remnant of a devastating war with the immortals known as the Deep Kings. The war ended nearly a century ago, and the enemy is kept at bay only by the existence of the Engine, a terrible weapon that protects the Misery’s border. Across the corrupted no-man’s-land teeming with twisted magic and malevolent wraiths, the Deep Kings and their armies bide their time. Watching. Waiting. Bounty hunter Ryhalt Galharrow has breathed Misery dust for twenty bitter years. When he’s ordered to locate a masked noblewoman at a frontier outpost, he finds himself caught in the middle of an attack by the Deep Kings, one that signifies they may no longer fear the Engine. Only a formidable show of power from the very woman he is seeking, Lady Ezabeth Tanza, repels the assault. Ezabeth is a shadow from Galharrow’s grim past, and together they stumble onto a web of conspiracy that threatens to end the fragile peace the Engine has provided. Galharrow is not ready for the truth about the blood he’s spilled or the gods he’s supposed to serve…

The US Marine Corps in the Vietnam War

III Marine Amphibious Force 1965–75

By: Ed Gilbert

III Marine Amphibious Force was conceived as a division command for a small Marine Corps commitment to Vietnam. Within four years it had grown to a reinforced corps of two divisions, an air wing, and the division-sized Force Logistics Command. This organization was unique in Marine Corps history in that it merged combat and major logistical functions under a single field command. This book examines the origins and constantly changing organizational structure of III MAF, and demonstrates how it conducted its savage struggle against Viet Cong guerrillas and North Vietnamese Army regular forces in the northern provinces of Vietnam.
