Hard Cover. Condición: New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: New. Standing Up Against Hate tells the stories of the African American women who enlisted in the newly formed Women's Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC) in World War II. They quickly discovered that they faced as many obstacles in the armed forces as they did in everyday life. However, they refused to back down. They interrupted careers and left family, friends, and loved ones to venture into unknown and sometimes dangerous territory. They survived racial prejudice and discrimination with dignity, succeeded in jobs women had never worked before, and made crucial contributions to the military war effort. The book centers around Charity Adams, who commanded the only black WAAC battalion sent overseas and became the highest ranking African American woman in the military by the end of the war. Along with Adams's story are those of other black women who played a crucial role in integrating the armed forces. Their tales are both inspiring and heart-wrenching. The book includes a timeline, bibliography, and index. New Book.

When E.W. (Jim) Swanton died in January 2000 at the age of 92, the tributes poured in from cricket lovers everywhere, among them John Major, who described him as 'one of the great cricket writers of the century'. For over seventy years, from the age of Bradman, Jim Swanton described all the great cricket occasions; his immense knowledge and sharp judgement made him a legend. This celebration of his life in cricket includes the best of his writing (including his memories of life on the Burma - Siam railway in the last war), right up to the time of his death. Here too are a selection of the many tributes paid to Swanton after his death, including Sir Tim Rice, John Woodcock, Charles Fry, Lord Runcie, Richard Hutton, Colin Cowdrey, Richie Bernard, Christopher Martin-Jenkins and Robin Mentor. David Rayvern Allen was the last person to interview Swanton, and this interview is included in full, with an introduction by John Major.
