Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout World War II, when Saturday nights came around, servicemen and hostesses happily forgot the war for a little while as they danced together in USO clubs, which served as havens of stability in a time of social, moral, and geographic upheaval. Meghan Winchell demonstrates that in addition to boosting soldier morale, the USO acted as an architect of the gender roles and sexual codes that shaped the "greatest generation." Combining archival research with extensive firsthand accounts from among the hundreds of thousands of female USO volunteers, Winchell shows how the organization both reflected and shaped 1940s American society at large. The USO had hoped that respectable feminine companionship would limit venereal disease rates in the military. To that end, Winchell explains, USO recruitment practices characterized white middle-class women as sexually respectable, thus implying that the sexual behavior of working-class women and women of color was suspicious. In response, women of color sought to redefine the USO's definition of beauty and respectability, challenging the USO's vision of a home front that was free of racial, gender, and sexual conflict. Despite clashes over class and racial ideologies of sex and respectability, Winchell finds that most hostesses benefited from the USO's chaste image. In exploring the USO's treatment of female volunteers, Winchell not only brings the hostesses' stories to light but also supplies a crucial missing piece for understanding the complex ways in which the war both destabilized and restored certain versions of social order.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The USS Birmingham cut through the waters of the vast Pacific Ocean, its sleek form slicing through the waves with precision. The crew on board was on a routine exercise, the day had been uneventful so far. But little did they know, they were about to encounter something beyond their wildest nightmares. Captain Marcus Reynolds stood on the deck, his weathered face a testament to years of service. He scanned the horizon with his steely gray eyes, a sense of duty and determination etched into every line on his face. The salty breeze ruffled his graying hair as he gripped the railing tightly, his knuckles whitening under the pressure. "Another day, another drill," he muttered to himself, his voice a low growl that was almost lost in the gentle hum of the ship's engines. His first mate, Lieutenant Sarah Thompson, approached him with a clipboard in hand. Her auburn hair was tied back in a tight bun, her green eyes sharp and alert. "Captain, all systems are functioning normally. We're on schedule for the submarine detection exercise." Reynolds nodded, his gaze still fixed on the horizon. "Good. Let's hope for some action today. These drills can get monotonous." Little did he know, his wish for action was about to be granted in the most horrific way possible. Suddenly, a ripple in the water caught his attention. It started as a small disturbance but soon grew into a massive wave that sent shivers down his spine. The water churned and frothed as if some monstrous leviathan was stirring beneath the surface. "Captain, what the hell is that?" Ensign Jack Foster shouted, his young face contorted with a mixture of awe and fear. He pointed towards a strange object emerging from the depths of the ocean. It was metallic, with a silvery sheen that glinted in the sunlight. As it rose higher, it revealed a sleek, rounded shape that seemed to defy all laws of physics. "All hands on deck!" Reynolds roared, his voice echoing across the ship. "Battle stations, now!" The crew scrambled into action, the once peaceful deck transforming into a hive of frantic activity. Weapons were manned, sensors whirred to life, and a palpable tension filled the air. "Sir, our sensors can't get a read on it," Lieutenant Thompson reported her voice tight with tension. "It's like it's cloaked or... or made of something our technology can't comprehend." As the object continued to rise, it revealed its full form a craft unlike anything they had ever seen. It was the size of a small submarine, but its design was otherworldly. There were no visible propellers, no conning tower, just a smooth, egg-shaped hull that glistened like liquid mercury. "Prepare to fire," Captain Reynolds ordered, his voice cold and determined. The USS Birmingham readied its weapons, aiming at the unidentified submerged object (USO) that now hung in the water before them. "Sir, look!" Ensign Foster cried out, pointing towards the windows of the USO. Through the glass, they could see shadowy figures moving inside, their forms twisted and alien. They moved with an eerie fluidity, their limbs bending in ways that no human anatomy could allow.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has often been said that we know more about the surface of the Moon than we do about the world's seas and oceans. The study of USOs (Unidentified Submersible Objects) is a case in point. For years, strange phenomena have been reported by people at sea, especially by navies around the globe. Although many of the USO files of the Soviet and Russian Navy remain secret, some have become available due to the painstaking efforts of dedicated researchers. Paul Stonehill and Philip Mantle reveal strange encounters by the Soviet and Russian Navy with things that are not supposed to exist. Here you will read about the mysterious kvakeri, the "swimmers" of Lake Baikal, the oddities of Issyk Kul, inexplicable events within the forbidding Arctic Ocean, and much more. Most of these stories have never been told outside of Russia or the former Soviet Union. They provide yet more evidence that we are not alone. Indeed, they suggest a permanent presence of something unusual in the depths of Earth's large bodies of water.About the authors: Paul Stonehill, a former Soviet Jewish refugee from the USSR (Ukraine), is an American lecturer, author, and researcher of Russian and Eurasian ufology and paranormal phenomena. He has spoken at numerous conferences throughout the U.S. and Europe, and has written many articles in English and Russian on UFOs and USOs, as well as several articles about the history of ancient China and its paranormal aspects. He is the co-author with Philip Mantle of several books about Soviet and post-Soviet UFO phenomena. Philip Mantle is an international UFO researcher, lecturer and broadcaster. His books have been published in six different languages around the world.
