It began like the genealogical search of so many families to find out more about the relatives who came before them. It led to the surprising discovery of the stories of family members spanning eight generations who each served in the conflict of their era from the War of Independence through Vietnam. Through this book’s masterfully re-created veterans’ stories, blending documented historical research with his gift for storytelling, author Armand Kinslow breathes life into his humble quest to know more about his ancestors and to now promise that They Shall Not Be Forgotten.

Separated in age by eighteen years, Ron and Steve Lambrecht lived under the same farmhouse roof for only six months—yet both left the Minnesota cornfields of their birth for distinctly different roads of military service and achievement. Their joint memoir, Boundless Brothers: Two Warriors from the Heartland, One Mission for the Homeland, offers a fresh spin on a classic American motif of homegrown country boys who navigate the wild blue yonder of sky and sea.

Dwight Eisenhower (1890-1969) a marqué son époque comme peu d’hommes. Général cinq étoiles, homme du Jour J, chef de guerre, président des États-Unis, il a été l’un des acteurs majeurs de l’histoire américaine mais aussi internationale, de la Seconde Guerre mondiale au début des années 1960. En 1945, à la tête d’une coalition sans précédent, il a réussi cinq débarquements – en Afrique du Nord, en Sicile, en Italie, en Normandie et en Provence – qui lui ont permis de libérer la France et l’Europe occidentale et d’obtenir la reddition de l’Allemagne nazie.

‘Stop screaming, I'm scared too!' is not what you'd expect to see on the back of a loadmaster's helmet in a Chinook helicopter flying over southern Afghanistan, but for Rod Henderson it sums up his 22 years of service as a soldier in the Australian Army. This is not the story of a general or a Special Forces hero. It is the extraordinary memoir of a regular Australian soldier. Like so many others who have served their country with honour and distinction, the little-known stories of ordinary soldiers deserve to be told.
