Wilfred Owen – Dulce et Decorum est
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News
John Batchelor on his radio show seems pretty annoyed with Europe’s current reaction to the D-day. He’s a bit too romantic to be realistic about Europe. Now maybe we’ll see Macron unite with Putin as the only possible allied against the US.
Here’s a dramatization of a D-day in the east in 1920, when Poland fended off the Soviet invasion of Europe to exterminate Christianity. Together with some voluntary American soldiers. Quite realistic and “great” battle scenes even if the gory detail of the wounded is a bit too much for me, I warn you.
