"During the Great War almost 650 men enlisted from the small market town of Alton, Hampshire. These soldiers served all over the globe, including the Western Front, India, Mesopotamia, Salonika, Turkey and Russia, and were never the same again; some choosing to tell their stories, others desperately trying to forget what they had experienced. But they were the lucky ones: around a third of those who left for distant shores were never to return and instead lie buried in cemeteries across the world. The stories these men couldn’t tell themselves are uncovered here as a monument to their bravery and sacrifice. Here’s to the Men of Alton is a collection of personal accounts of courage and hardship which provides a lasting tribute to those ordinary men who gave their lives for King and Country."-✅Publisher description.

The Code of Man Love Courage Pride Family Country


Free Download Waller R. Newell, "The Code of Man: Love Courage Pride Family Country"
English | 2004 | pages: 302 | ISBN: 0060087528, 006008751X | PDF | 0,8 mb
"In many ways," Waller R. Newell writes, "young men today are in deep spiritual trouble. But they are also yearning for a way back to the noblest ideals of American manhood." The Code of Man is a deep and thought-provoking effort to help guide contemporary men back to those ideals, embodied in what Newell calls the five paths to manliness: love, courage, pride, family, and country. He argues that at the dawn of the twenty-first century, our society has grown so concerned about the roles of sex and violence that we have forgotten to seek inspiration from the traditional virtues of the past: romance and eros, courage and patriotism, and the blend of love and bravery that ittakes to raise a family. Contrasting such time-honored lessons from the voices of William Shakespeare, Abraham Lincoln, Jane Austen, and Teddy Roosevelt with the chaotic signals emanating from Western culture today, Newell offers a clarion call to recapture our traditions, preserve our character as a society … and avoid catastrophe.

The Courage to Dream On Rights, Values and Freedom


Free Download Vincent Harding, Daisaku Ikeda, "The Courage to Dream: On Rights, Values and Freedom"
English | 2015 | ISBN: 1784534757 | EPUB | pages: 288 | 0.4 mb
‘I have a dream’ declared Martin Luther King in 1967. Those words, which echoed round the world, soon became immortal. King gave his life in the cause of eradicating racism, eliminating poverty and resolutely opposing all forms of war and violence. This dialogue brings together two figures who likewise have striven in all their activities to promote peace and fight discrimination: one a Christian theologian, historian and nonviolent activist who knew King personally and who moved in 1958 from Chicago to the American South to participate in the nascent struggle for civil rights; the other a foremost Buddhist leader who has been inspired in his own thinking by King’s example. Vincent Harding and Daisaku Ikeda here bring the wisdom of their respective traditions and experiences to reflect on the personal cost of fighting for justice, and the courage that that entails. Their conversations range widely, across issues which include war and violence, the continuing blight in America of institutionalized racism, the need to overcome global disparities of wealth and the consequent dangers of materialism and consumerism

James Courage Diaries


Free Download Chris Brickell, "James Courage Diaries"
English | ISBN: 199004803X | 2021 | 416 pages | PDF | 46 MB
New Zealand author James Courage was born in Christchurch in 1903, and he became aware of his homosexuality during his adolescent years. He moved to London in 1927 and began writing novels, plays, poems, and short stories. He was much more sexually open than most of his homosexual writer contemporaries-Frank Sargeson, Eric McCormick, Charles Brasch, and Bill Pearson. A Way of Love, published in 1959, was the first gay novel written by a New Zealander, and some of his other seven novels (including Fires in the Distance and The Call Home) contain queer characters. Between 1920 and 1963, Courage confided his innermost thoughts to a private diary. He wrote about leaving New Zealand, the men he met in London’s streets, and forging friendships in the literary scene. He was an evocative chronicler of landscapes and indoor settings: life on long ocean voyages, air raid shelters during the war, and the psychiatrist’s clinic at a time when society was deeply ambivalent about homosexuality. Courage recorded his personal triumphs and struggles with an engaging honesty, a lively intelligence, and a whimsical sense of humour.
