Book excerpt: Flight Lieutenant Frank Clark died in a fiery collision between two Spitfires in the war-torn skies over Normandy. He left behind a one-year-old son and a thirteen-year-old brother. These two had an intense interest in trying to piece together the life and times of Frank Clark. However, there was no stash of photographs, no neat pile of letters, no log book, no diary. Then serendipity stepped in. A dozen photographs of Frank came to light and a cache of 50 letters written to his best friend. These letters revealed a colourful, flesh and blood person whose youth, vitality and good humour sprang out from the pages. This book is that story.

Book excerpt: Johan S. Opheim, commonly known as "Joe", was inducted into the U.S. Army just a few days before Pearl Harbor in World War II. Having grown up on the plains of Eastern Montana and having experienced the struggles of the Great Depression, and challenging family situations, he was well prepared for the hardships he endured. He served with his fellow members of the 3rd Infantry Division in the Mediterranean theater, starting first with North Africa, then on to Sicily, then the Italian mainland and eventually on to the South of France where he met his untimely death. He was remembered for his jovial attitude towards life and his intellect, the later of which he did not have the opportunity to develop more fully. Relatives had saved 165 of his letters that he had written to them from the mid 1930s and up through his last campaign. The author has reprinted these letters and developed Joe's biography by filling in the gaps of information about his life which includes comments regarding the contents of the letters, and narratives about his travels and his unit's experiences.

Book excerpt: The legendary songwriter and labor rights activist reveals his personal struggles and political philosophy in this collection of letters. As a proud member of the Industrial Workers of the World, Joe Hill dedicated his life to the union cause. The original bard of the working class, he spread a message of solidarity and struggle through unforgettable, bitingly satirical songs. But after a suspicious arrest and controversial trial, Hill was convicted of murder in 1914. A year later, he was put to death by the capitalist state. In this collection of letters, many of which were written from prison in Salt Lake City, readers get to know the man behind the legendary songs. Hill corresponds with friends and fellow workers, discussing his case, his life, his music, and cheering on the Wobblies even as he faces death. “Joe Hill's influence is everywhere. Without Joe Hill, there's no Woody Guthrie, no Dylan, no Springsteen, no Clash, no Public Enemy, no Minor Threat, no System of a Down, no Rage Against the Machine.” —Tom Morello, from the foreword

Book excerpt: A naive adolescent girl from Ohio desperately seeks comfort and safety by moving to her father's home in Illinois after her parents' acrimonious divorce. Reflecting many of the norms and cultural conventions of small-town Midwestern life in the very early 1960s, Peggy struggles to make sense of her middle-class family's disintegration but finds neither lasting comfort nor safety in either environment. Peggy longs to understand her complex new world, even as she struggles to come to terms with the loss of her old life, a happy and stable life gone mad and turned upside down. Peace—forever a process, never a destination--will take many years for Peggy to achieve; but what will meanwhile both help and frustrate her is the young man whom she loves both because of and in spite of himself. Until his premature death at age 75 years, Joe will unknowingly serve as her guide along the journey of a lifetime as he helps, even beyond the scope of this book, to shape her ultimate destiny. Writing in the epistolary genre and under a pseudonym, the author takes the reader deep inside the psyche and perspectives of Peggy and multiple other persons with whom she associates, many of whom can recognize early-on how tenuous her hopes and dreams of a mutual future with Joe will likely be. This is a story of the effects of disintegrating families and reflects the sting of abuse, betrayal, and the perils of alcoholic behaviors. Beyond all that, this is the story of a teenage girl who will at times frustrate you, amaze you, exceed your expectations--and ultimately break your heart. “Letters to Joe” is a jewel that illuminates and reflects adolescent sincerity and tenderness even in the face of teenage humiliation and rejection. A “must-read” for parents, youth, and anyone who has ever pledged to love another human being unflinchingly from first glance to beyond the grave.

Book excerpt: Here I Stand gives the reader a glimpse into the life of a career police officer as recalled by Robert Fletcher. As Fletcher is standing at the head of the conference table in the Organized Crime Bureau, being honored for thirty years of dedicated service, memories come flooding back. Here I Stand presents these memories, good and bad, as they happened. This true account starts with the author being a teenager in trouble with the law. After being caught in the midst of a crime, he was given a second chance and became a straight arrow. Later, the Phoenix Police Department took a chance on him and an outstanding career began. From the very beginning his career was unique. About half way through the police academy, the entire class was pulled out and put into service to help quell a race riot in Phoenix. After being back in the academy for a short period, Fletcher and eleven other recruits were chosen to be turned loose on the City without training officers. That was a grand experiment that was never repeated. Robert Fletcher worked on numerous details and assignments during his career. They included Patrol, Walking Beat, Selective Enforcement, Warrant Detail, Solo Motorcycles, Detective Bureau, Community Relations Bureau, Information Desk, Communications Bureau, and at the time of his retirement, he was the sergeant in charge of the Investigations Unit of the Organized Crime Bureau. This book shares memories from each of these details and assignments.
