Dung in My Foxhole

A Soldier's Account of the Iraq War, and His Post War Struggles with Injury and Ptsd Thru Poetry

By: Gordon L EweLL

Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) are the enemys weapon of choice in Iraq, and to date they are the number-one killer of Coaliti on forces on the batt lefi eld. Their ever-increasing sophisti cati on is a challenge but not an insurmountable one. Generally speaking, IEDs are roadside bombs that threaten our Soldiers and logisti cal convoys taking much-needed supplies to them. Master Sergeant Ewell, a Combat Engineer, and Expert in the Tacti cs and Techniques the Enemy was using in Iraq to assemble, disguise and detonate IEDs, became one of the fi rst two Soldiers ever to make up a special team, whos mission was vital in the fi ght to fi nd and render safe the Improvised Explosive Devices, before they could unleash their deadly force upon other Soldiers, Convoys, and the local traffi c of Iraqi civilian commuters. In Iraq, he performed 59 dangerous missions, co-authored a fi rst of its kind manual used for the training of special teams that would have the mission of fi nding IEDs, was Blownup six diff erent ti mes and saved countless lives. A recipient of the Bronze Star and the Purple Heart Medal. This is a powerful account of his experience during War, and his Post-War struggles with Severe Injuries and PTSD thru Poetry.

Fateful Ties

A History of America's Preoccupation with China

By: Gordon H. Chang

Americans look to China with fascination and fear, unsure whether the rising Asian power is friend or foe but certain it will play a crucial role in America’s future. This is nothing new, Gordon Chang says. For centuries, Americans have been convinced of China’s importance to their own national destiny. Fateful Ties draws on literature, art, biography, popular culture, and politics to trace America’s long and varied preoccupation with China. China has held a special place in the American imagination from colonial times, when Jamestown settlers pursued a passage to the Pacific and Asia. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Americans plied a profitable trade in Chinese wares, sought Chinese laborers to build the West, and prized China’s art and decor. China was revered for its ancient culture but also drew Christian missionaries intent on saving souls in a heathen land. Its vast markets beckoned expansionists, even as its migrants were seen as a “yellow peril” that prompted the earliest immigration restrictions. A staunch ally during World War II, China was a dangerous adversary in the Cold War that followed. In the post-Mao era, Americans again embraced China as a land of inexhaustible opportunity, playing a central role in its economic rise. Through portraits of entrepreneurs, missionaries, academics, artists, diplomats, and activists, Chang demonstrates how ideas about China have long been embedded in America’s conception of itself and its own fate. Fateful Ties provides valuable perspective on this complex international and intercultural relationship as America navigates an uncertain new era.
