By Pfc. Joseph Friedman, Retired
On December 7, 1941, Pearl Harbor was brutally attacked by Japanese war planes, forever changing the history of the world. Thousands of miles away, Joseph Friedman was living on a small farm in Flemington, New Jersey, handling many chores during the day and discussing the war in the evening. Less than a year later, Friedman’s own life would change forever when he joined the Marine Corps and shipped overseas to begin a twenty-seven month journey into wartime. Friedman narrates a compelling and harrowing story as he chronologically describes his experiences as a Marine private during World War II, commencing with his swearing-in ceremony in downtown New York City. As he details rigorous marches during basic training, tenacious patrols through the South Pacific jungles, fierce battles with the enemy, and terror as he huddled in foxholes and witnessed the unleashing of war’s fury, Friedman offers a moving portrayal of the powerful human emotions that sustained every soldier—comradeship, duty, and loyalty to their fellow brothers-in-arms. In God Shared My Foxholes, Joseph Friedman offers not only his own personal reflections, but also a lasting tribute that acknowledges the indomitable courage and incredible sacrifices of all who served during World War II.

By Jim Moore
Even casual observation sadly reveals that most otherwise intelligent and educated Americans know little or nothing about the heart and soul of America: how it was conceived, how the principles of freedom, justice, and independence is, today, in jeopardy, and what we need to know and do to save this great nation. This two-part book consists of (1) selected essays on what defines the very essence of America, and (2) a definitive creation of the U.S. Constitution-as kids might tackle it, so even adults can understand it.

By Diane Holloway Ph. D.
The question of why Jack Ruby killed Lee Harvey Oswald was the central issue of his trial by Judge Joe B. Brown, Sr. With compelling immediacy and exhaustive detail, the judge's memoir is a vital contribution to the quintessential murder mystery of the 20th century. Here for the first time, we get to know what really went on in Ruby's trial and in his mind. Judge Brown had access to previously unpublished facts involved in the "trial of the century", as it was called. His memoir has been combined with the Warren Commission interrogation of Ruby and with Ruby' polygraph conducted by the F.B.I., accompanied by enlightening psychological commentary. With a selection of previously unpublished photographs, this is a brilliant, illuminating new view of the event that has dominated the consciousness of the American public as no other ever has.

The purpose of this handbook is to provide aviation enthusiasts with a simple checklist on where to find the surviving retired military aircraft that are preserved in the state of Alaska. The majority of the “Alaska Warbird Survivors” can be viewed at Elmendorf AFB; Eielson AFB; Kulis ANG Base; in the Alaska Aviation Heritage Museum in Anchorage; in the Alaskaland Pioneer Air Museum in Fairbanks; Healy, Denali Wings; and at Palmer, in the Museum of Alaska Transportation and Industry. Various “gate guardians” are also listed. The museum staffs and volunteer organizations in Alaska have done a particularly good job of preserving the great variety of American combat veteran aircraft, illustrated here. Hopefully, as more aircraft are recovered from their crash sites in the bush and restored, traded or brought back from private owners, that they too will be added to the record. The book lists the aircraft alphabetically by manufacturer, number and type. This list is also appended with a brief summary of the aircraft presently on display within the state and a bit of its history in the US military.

Spring, 1853 “Are you certain you want to go to such a place? That country west of Missouri is all wild Indian country.” “But Sir, it won’t always be wild. I hear that is going to change and it is said that people are going to be moving west and land will soon be available just past the western Missouri border.” John Potter waved away the remark. “Look; there must be over fifteen different Indian tribes out there and I wager none of them are anxious to share their land with anyone. It’s one thing crossing their land to get to Utah or Oregon but to try to take away their lands…? They have been moved and shoved around much like we have and they aren’t going to put up with more of that kind of treatment. “Abrael, I believe you are just asking for more grief. And to be quite frank, on top of everything you must remember you are Jewish. Don’t you have enough worries as it is?” “But, maybe out there it won’t matter,” Abrael said quickly. “Maybe they will be different out there.” “And just what kind of folks do you think you will find out there, as you call it?”

Professor Stanley Hirshon’s New York Times review said, “Massacre at Mountain Meadows must rank as one of the half dozen boldest and most important books ever written on the Mormons. As an eloquent, moving document, it stands virtually alone…As a study of human motives and man’s brutality, in the name of God, to other men, it is frightening.”
