DOWNLOAD EBOOKOne of the most acclaimed books of our time—the definitive Vietnam War exposé and the winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. When he came to Vietnam in 1962, Lieutenant Colonel John Paul Vann was the one clear-sighted participant in an enterprise riddled with arrogance and self-deception, a charismatic soldier who put his life and career on the line in an attempt to convince his superiors that the war should be fought another way. By the time he died in 1972, Vann had embraced the follies he once decried. He died believing that the war had been won. In this magisterial book, a monument of history and biography that was awarded the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize for Nonfiction, a renowned journalist tells the story of John Vann—"the one irreplaceable American in Vietnam"—and of the tragedy that destroyed a country and squandered so much of America's young manhood and resources.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn 1988, I had a dream about this book from beginning to end. I got up and prayed, "Lord, what is going on in my mind." The Lord told me to just write what you see in your dream; I wrote my second page. I felt like I had finished the book, but Gold to me, "No, sleep until you do what I tell you to do." So, I began to write a little more each day. After writing five or six pages, realized God was doing something in my life. The more I wrote the more I wanted to write, so I wrote for days and nights, weeks and months.At one point, I wrote to Oprah Winfrey and asked her to help me with my unfinished book she replied, "Finish your book and then stay in contact because get letters like this from so many people." The staff thanked me for watching the show, but I kept praying and hoping that someday, God would bless me to complete and publish my book. On November 2077, God spoke and said, "It is time to finish and publish your book."This book is based on the life of poor men and women, who were nearing freedom from slavery. They chose to stay on the plantation and not become free because it gave them a place to work. The men and women lived in hut houses, and were allowed days for town, church, and school. Shortly, after the years passed, their children moved away to the North, East, West. Although the men and women began to prosper, they taught them to always tell their children's children about their forefathers encounters.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA powerful, moving, and revelatory novel set in nineteenth-century Africa--the captivating story of the loyal men and women who carried the body of explorer and missionary David Livingstone from Zambia to Zanzibar so that his remains could be returned home to England. Dawn, 1 May 1873, on the outskirts of Chitambo's village, near Lake Bangweulu in modern-day Zambia. The Scottish explorer and missionary David Livingstone has died. He had been heading south in the African interior on an increasingly maniacal mission to penetrate the greatest secret of Victorian exploration. He wanted to find the source of the world's longest river, the Nile. Instead, on an isolated and swampy floodplain, Dr. Livingstone found his death. How Livingstone is to be buried will be decided by his African companions, a group of sixty-nine men, women, and children. They decide that come what may, Livingstone, his papers and maps, must all be carried to England. They bury his heart and other organs under a tree and dry his flesh like jerky in the sun. Over nine months, battling severe illness and hunger, hostile chiefs and unknown terrain, all while taking a tortuous route of more than 1,000 miles to the coast to avoid marauding slave traders, they march with Livingstone's body and the evidence of his explorations. Their journey has been called "the most extraordinary story in African exploration." In this novel, their story is retold anew in the distinct, indelible voices of Livingstone's sharp-tongued female cook, Halima; a repressed, formerly enslaved African missionary named Jacob Wainwright; and the collective voice of the retainers. The result is a profound and tragic journey--an epic like no other--that encompasses all of the hypocrisy of slavery and colonization while celebrating resilience, loyalty, and love. In Out of Darkness, Shining Light, Petina Gappah has created an ambitious and artful masterpiece.
