This WWII history chronicles the remarkable career of a brilliant British Army commander and the innovative armored vehicles he created. Joining the Royal Tank Corps in 1923, Major-General Percy Hobart quickly established himself as one of the foremost thinkers on armored warfare. By 1938 he was GOC Mobile Division, later 7th Armored Division, in Egypt. He was also known for not suffering fools—a tendency that got him briefly relieved of his command. But during World War II, Winston Churchill called Hobart back to Army service with orders to train the now-legendary 11th Armored Division. He was then tasked with designing specialist armored fighting vehicles capable of breeching the Atlantic Wall. Known as Hobart's Funnies, these unique vehicles included mine-clearing tanks, bridge-carrying tanks, flamethrowers, swimming tanks and amphibious assault vehicles. Operated by Hobart’s 79th Armored Division, they played a major part in the D-Day landings and the subsequent European campaigns. Hobart's skills played a significant part in the final Allied victory, and the specialized funnies he introduced to modern warfare have since been adopted by all armies all over the world. Drawing on official records and personal recollections, historian Richard Doherty tells the incredible story of Percy Hobart and his 79th Armored Division.

There are always two sides to every point of view. Joshua is getting ready to graduate from his final year in high school. He has always lived in a small colonial town in New England that rests up against the Atlantic Ocean that leads as far as the eye can see. He has applied to leave friends and looks forward to new adventures in a university in the middle of the state of Illinois. Another student, Autumn, is graduating from high school and will be attending a large university. She has spent her whole life on a small farm in the middle of the state of Iowa. She has always worked on the farm with her family. Leaving the farm is a very difficult decision for both the farm and the experiences outside the farm. The experiences will be difficult and there will be disagreements to conquer. It all started with two future students wondering who this person is sitting next to the other in the first lecture hall.
