Two Wars transports readers towards a full experience about the evils of war. Sometimes a war can be a negative good, Joseph Hardy finds out that the Iraq war is a negative ill. The novel explains how two young men, Martinez and Joseph Hardy enlist in the USMC. Martinez joins because of educational opportunities and a sense of strong nationalism. Hardy joins because he has few options and he is a patriot who wants to defend his country against terrorism. Both young men meet in Parris Island where they become Boot Camp buddies. Martinez fights because he was lied to and he was given promises of being an officer and to obtain college education. He finds none. Hardy fights a war in Iraq. He does care if he sacrifices his blood for his country. Back home, he leaves a child with his High School sweetheart. And now he longs for his family in the other side of the world. He wants to survive and see the sun each morning, and see his loved ones again, one more time.
As America's pastime since the mid-1800s, baseball offers the sights, sounds, and even smells that are deeply entrenched in our culture. But for some, the experience can be less sensory. Some, such as Ryan Spaeder and Kevin Reavy, live for baseball statistics. Stats give the game historical context and measurables for past, present, and predictive analysis. Incredible Baseball Stats, newly updated, helps tell unique baseball stories, showcasing extraordinary stats and facts in baseball history, through the 2018 season. For example, in 2015, the Nationals’ Bryce Harper broke out in a major way. He batted .330/.460/.649 with 42 home runs en route to his first MVP Award. It was his fourth MLB season, but he was still younger than NL Rookie of the Year Kris Bryant. He became the youngest player to lead the league in both on-base percentage and homers in the same season since Ty Cobb in 1909. The authors have scoured the records for untold tales and looked at familiar ones with new statistical insights, to create Incredible Baseball Stats, a perfect book for baseball fans from coast to coast.
