Big Backpack - Little World
“In 2000 Donna Morang sold all her earthly possessions and left the United States to teach ESL (English as a second language). Join her as she travels to three continents, and twelve countries. Step into her classroom and teach English in Mexico, Nicaragua, Colombia, and Vietnam, or vacation with her in Spain, Thailand, and Cambodia. Fall in love with her students learning English, the special street kids, some crazy bartenders, and fellow backpackers. Meet new friends and hear their stories, or laugh with a romantic man or two from around the world. Venture into the countryside to dance with local people, drink moonshine, explore caves, fish for marlin, catch buckets of squid, or squirm as she eats strange bugs and worms. Hold her hand as she explores new city streets and countries-- often lost, once robbed, or tremble when guns are pointed at her, as she crosses one more border.
“…This book is NOT about a woman going in search of herself, or looking for a better life. She already knows that life is beautiful, and she lives it to the fullest”
The Intermediary

Craig's story and that of the people around him, told here for the first time, mixes bravery, cowardice, courage, deceit, intrigue - and timeless lessons about the challenges awaiting those who would be peacemakers.”

In the Balkans, he encounters a landscape of ruins as the traumatised population struggle to deal with the grim realities of ethnic conflict. Finally, in an obscure corner of the ex-USSR, he joins a band of youthful activists as they attempt to topple a paranoid and authoritarian regime.”

The Red Watermelon Seeds: A Memoir
“When Xuan first encountered the attack during the Vietnam War, she thought the sound of the rockets and artillery was caused by thunder. Xuan, along with many other children in her neighborhood would innocently look for bullet shells or chase after the leaflets of propaganda falling from the sky, not knowing the imminent danger surrounding them. One might think whoever lived in Vietnam during the war would constantly worry about death, but through the eyes of a child, the war and politics were irrelevant.”
Falklands: Voyage To War
“On board the HMS Illustrious a young naval officer started keeping a diary of the voyage to the South Atlantic - the story of a young man embarking on a terrifying adventure from which he couldn't know if he would return alive.
Ghost-written from the original diaries by the best-selling military thriller writer James Barrington 'Falklands: Voyage To War' gives a fascinating glimpse into the psychology of a junior officer going into conflict for the first time. The anxiety, anticipation and excitement are captured in brilliant detail, as is the intense planning and preparation that went into recapturing the island. “

KRIEGIES AND GOONS
“An eager new Army Air Corps Sergeant is awarded the Silver Star Medal for gallantry in war for action over North Africa. What price did he pay? Most of the aircrew perished after their B-25 was hit, but luckily Lang and the tail gunner survived and landed in the Mediterranean Sea, his burns soothed by the cool waters. SGT Lang spent months in Italian and German hospitals, eventually arriving at Stalag VII-A. He and his fellow Allied POW's (Krieges) were eventually force-marched to Stalag XVII-B in advance of the Allied repatriation of Europe. SGT Lang survived. His experiences contrast with the life he left behind in the United States. Food, clothing, sleeping arrangements, contact with loved ones, access to news of the world outside the camps, and numerous other life details were drastically changed. Lang gives us a detailed look at how deeply we are affected by the deprivation of the liberty to move about freely.”
