This is the story of those who fought and died in 1944 at Anzio. Their task was to seize the Alban Hills and then Rome, but instead, for more than four months, they sank into the mud of the Anzio plain and fought for their lives. There are no heroes, no victories. Even national differences merge and are forgotten in this larger story of humanity.

The Road To Nab End

The Road To Nab End

By: William Woodruff

William Woodruff had the sort of childhood satirised in the famous Monty Python Yorkshireman sketch. The son of a weaver, he was born on a pallet of straw at the back of the mill and two days later his mother was back at work. Life was extrememly tough for the family in 1920's Blackburn -- a treat was sheep's head or cow heel soup -- and got worse when his father lost his job when the cotton industry started its terminal decline. Woodruff had to find his childhood fun in the little free time he had available between his delivery job and school, but he never writes self-pityingly, leaving the reader to shed the tears on his behalf. At ten his mother takes him on his one and only holiday -- to Blackpool. He never wonders where they get the money to do so, only where she disappears to with strange men in the afternoons, before taking him to the funfair, pockets jingling an hour or two later. NAB END is certainly not all grime and gloom however, there's a cast of great minor characters from an unfrocked vicar to William's indomitable grandmother Bridget who lend some colour and humour -- and all against the strongly rendered social backdrop of the 1920s and 1930s.

Ascent to the Beautiful

Plato the Teacher and the Pre-Republic Dialogues from Protagoras to Symposium

By: William H. F. Altman

With Ascent to the Beautiful, William H. F. Altman completes his five-volume reconstruction of the Reading Order of the Platonic dialogues. This book covers Plato’s elementary dialogues, grappling from the start with F. D. E. Schleiermacher, who created an enduring prejudice against the works Plato wrote for beginners. Recognized in antiquity as the place to begin, Alcibiades Major was banished from the canon but it was not alone: with the exception of Protagoras and Symposium, Schleiermacher rejected as inauthentic all seven of the dialogues this book places between them. In order to prove their authenticity, Altman illuminates their interconnections and shows how each prepares the student to move beyond self-interest to gallantry, and thus from the doctrinal intellectualism Aristotle found in Protagoras to the emergence of philosophy as intermediate between wisdom and ignorance in Symposium, en route to Diotima’s ascent to the transcendent Beautiful. Based on the hypothesis that it was his own eminently teachable dialogues that Plato taught—and bequeathed to posterity as his Academy’s eternal curriculum—Ascent to the Beautiful helps the reader to imagine the Academy as a school and to find in Plato the brilliant teacher who built on Homer, Thucydides, and Xenophon.

Eugene Ely, Daredevil Aviator

First Shipboard Landing and Takeoff

By: William M. Miller

Eugene Burton Ely was buried the day after his 25th birthday, less than a half-mile from where he was born. No sooner had he captured the world's eye and gained the fame he sought, than he crashed into the earth. Until 1911, the last year of his life, hardly anyone knew his name. More than a century later, nothing has changed. An Iowa farm boy afraid of heights, Ely was the first to land an airplane on the deck of a ship. To some, he is the father of naval aviation, the inspiration behind today's nuclear aircraft carriers--but many details of his life have been lost until now. This book seeks to fill this void.

Two Wrongs Never Make It Right!

A Novel Book Two of the Doing It Wrong? Series

By: William N. Rappa Jr.

Two Wrongs Never Make It Right! Is the second novel of William N. Rappa, Jr. The story continues the saga of the Russell family of Lynn, Massachusetts, which was the focus of this authors first novel, Doing It Wrong?. JT Russell, now the patriarch of the Russell family, continues his odyssey through life living and learning the meaning, difficulty, and importance of relationships to the human animal. Russells goals appear simplistic as he endeavors to utilize his past mistakes to prevent their future occurrences. However, the nature of relationships in every aspect of ones life illustrates the difficulty in successfully negotiating this basic function of human interaction. Within the pages of this novel, JT Russell finds himself intimately involved in the murders of a vicious serial killer; he suffers through the losses of his once ideal marriage, his twin children, friends who are seem irreplaceable, and family situations that lead him dangerously close to an emotional collapse. Russell completely accepts the proposition that the success or failure of any individual lies within him or herself. Russell believes that his decisions, choices, actions, beliefs, and practices are the dominion of him and him alone. Never learning from past mistakes, not altering a losing game, not admitting and accepting ownership of ones actions is a certain way to repeat the errors of the past. Two Wrongs Never Make It Right! is the second novel of the Doing It Wrong? series.
