Paperback. Condición: Good. Never Fight a War on Two Fronts. so say military historians and strategists. Yet the War on COVID in the United States became almost as heated in the political arena as it did in the battlefields of hospital wards. The Mayor and The Judge tells the story of how one Texas city continues to fight back on both fronts.The seventh-largest city in the United States, San Antonio was deemed a "model city" for its handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and was ranked second in the nation among the 30 largest cities in terms of emergency readiness, according to a CNN report. This was due in no small part to the tireless efforts of Mayor Ron Nirenberg and Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff, who maintained constant contact with the public throughout the darkest days of the war on COVID-19. Through daily media broadcasts, they kept San Antonio's citizens updated with health and safety guidelines, medical statistics and hospitalizations, as well as the latest news on treatments and vaccine developments. Mayor Nirenberg and Judge Wolff used every possible resource to gather information, sharing facts honestly and without prejudice, at a time when the country was largely divided by political mayhem and disinformation. They demanded answers and explanations from state and federal government officials regarding what were often contradictory and controversial decisions.In The Mayor and The Judge Nelson Wolff recounts those days spent in the trenches - from quiet moments spent in reflection and the loss of close personal friends, to the set up of mass vaccination centers across the city - and the tumultuous political and legal battles he engaged in on an almost daily basis to help keep San Antonio safe.Emotional, gritty, and at times humorous, Judge Wolff writes with passion and vigor - and he doesn't pull any punches.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. Paper is a scout dog with the 101st Airborne "Screaming Eagles". Gravely wounded in a Viet Cong ambush, his leg has been badly shattered by a high caliber bullet. After being carried for 48 hours before receiving treatment, his wound is now badly infected. But Paper is a very special scout dog who has saved countless lives.Everyone has given up on Paper, except for his handler, Tom Hewitt. Then Tom finds Dr. John Kubisz of the 764th Medical Detachment. Doc Kubisz agrees to see if there's anything he can do. If Paper's leg cannot be saved, he will be euthanized. Even if it can be saved, unless he regains its full strength, he will still be euthanized.And if Paper recovers, he and Tom will be sent back to the front line.An estimated 3,800 dogs were deployed as scouts by the United States Army during the Vietnam War. "Paper Dog" is the amazing story of one of those dogs, and the incredible bond he develops with two very remarkable men; his handler and best friend Tom Hewitt, and Army veterinarian, Dr. John Kubisz. Together with his exceptional team of medical misfits at the 764th Medical Detachment known as the "Dirty Half Dozen," Dr. Kubisz goes to extraordinary lengths, not just to save Paper's life, but to rebuild his bullet-shattered leg - just so that he and Hewitt can return to the front line. "Paper Dog" is an emotional journey, of courage and devotion, human and canine, laced with more than a little caustic humor and disdain for the military hierarchy. John Kubisz clearly has much in common with Hawkeye Pierce of M*A*S*H - his veterinary skills matched only by his sense of humor and his ability to avoid disciplinary action from his superiors.…

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Could the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 have been prevented? Could war with Japan have been avoided? Or did a secret White House plan only hasten the attack? In BEFORE PEARL HARBOR: China, FDR and the Plot to Bomb Japan, noted author and military historian Michael Lemish uncovers a top secret plan hatched between President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Chinese government to send U.S. heavy bombers to Tokyo, long before the attack on Pearl Harbor, in a desperate attempt to avert a war with Japan that seemed more and more inevitable. Painstakingly researched and meticulously documented, this explosive true story of presidential power and covert diplomacy was hidden from the American people for decades following the war. The cast of characters reads like a Who's Who of 1930s and 1940s history, including: ¿ Pioneer aviator and American icon Charles Lindbergh ¿ General Jimmy Doolittle, years before his legendary 1942 Tokyo raid ¿ Nobel Prize winning writer Ernest Hemingway ¿ Chinese Nationalist leader Chiang Kai-shek and his charismatic wife ¿ President Franklin D. Roosevelt himself As US and China tensions dominate today's global headlines, Before Pearl Harbor reveals the deep and complicated historical roots of this rivalry and asks the questions that historians are still debating: What did Roosevelt really know? Who ignored the warnings? And how different might the world have been if someone had just paid attention? "Before Pearl Harbor provides an entirely new interpretation of the events of Pearl Harbor and takes a clinical look at the root cause of the attack. A must read for fans of history." Nell Chennault Calloway, granddaughter of General Claire Chennault, President and CEO, Chennault Aviation and Military Museum "The first book on history I could not put down. A definitive work of impressive detail and analysis. A must read." Lt. Col. James Huggins, Producer, The Robert Hartsock Story 230 pages with 80 black and white photographs.

Paperback. Condición: Good. When nine-year-old James Michael J.J. Willard finds himself bumping along in a covered wagon, with his father, mother, two sisters and all their worldly possessions, he has no idea of the adventures that lie ahead. His folks had immigrated from Ireland a few years earlier and now the whole family is on the move again, leaving their home in Brooklyn, New York, making their way south to New Orleans, lured by the promise of work. They stop in townships along the way to sell Willard's Magic Elixir - an old family recipe - in order to buy food for their journey. The year is 1861 and the war between the states is just beginning. Arriving in New Orleans they are confronted with the full horrors of the civil war, and to avoid being caught up in the brutal conflict the family decides to lie low on a small farm outside the city where they brew their potion and work on their sales patter. They decide to incorporate a few simple conjuring tricks to entertain the crowd and quickly discover that J.J. has a natural gift for performing magic. By the time the war is over the Willards are putting on weekly magic shows in New Orleans and J.J. is the star of the show. Offers start pouring in and before long the talented young magician is performing on Mississippi riverboats and famous clubs all over the United States. Then Europe beckons. These are the adventures of a young man who grew up lucky at a time of great conflict and against all odds. Tabacon, Marvin (ilustrador).…
