The antiracist : how to start the conversation about race and take action / by Fidel, Kondwani,author.; Allen, Devin,writer of foreword.;
"What would happen if people started moving beyond the conversation and took action to combat racism? We are in an era where many Americans express the sentiment, "I thought we were past that," when a public demonstration of racism comes across their radar. Long before violence committed by police was routinely displayed on jumbotrons publicizing viral executions, the Black community has continually tasted the blood from having police boots in their mouths, ribs, and necks. The widespread circulation of racial injustices is the barefaced truth hunting us down, forcing us to confront the harsh reality -- we haven't made nearly as much racial progress as we thought. The antiracist : how to start the conversation about race and take action will compel readers to focus on the degree in which they have previously, or are currently contributing to the racial inequalities in this country (knowingly or unknowingly), and ways they can become stronger in their activism. The antiracist is an explosive indictment on injustice, highlighted by Kondwani Fidel, a rising young literary talent, who offers a glimpse into not only the survival required of one born in a city like Baltimore, but how we can move forward to tackle violent murders, police brutality, and poverty. Throughout it all, he pursued his Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing & Publishing Arts from the University of Baltimore, while being deeply immersed in his community -- helping combat racism in schools by getting students to understand the importance of literacy and critical thinking. With his gift for storytelling, he measures the pulse of injustice, which is the heartbeat of this country"--

Ghosts of war : chasing my father's legend through Vietnam / by Reguly, Eric,author.;
"In the 1960s, there were few bigger journalists than the Toronto Star's Robert Reguly, who landed a series of international scoops and was right there in the Ambassador Hotel kitchen when Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated. But no story loomed larger in Reguly's life, or in the world's consciousness, than the war in Vietnam, which he covered from startlingly close range in 1967. Vietnam haunted Robert, and his family, for the rest of their lives. Half a century later, his son Eric Reguly--himself an esteemed foreign correspondent--retraces his late father's footsteps through Vietnam's combat zones. Ghosts of War is the story of Eric's emotional quest to understand the complicated and distant man who raised him and guided him into journalism, as well as a reflection on his father's complex legacy."--

Iwo, 26 Charlie / by Deutermann, P. T.(Peter T.),1941-author.;
"The island of Iwo Jima was the epic land and sea battle that produced one of the iconic images of WWII: the Marines raising the American flag on Mount Surabachi, an active volcano that was the site of intense hand to hand combat. In this gripping novel, Deutermann follows a young gunnery liaison officer, Lee Bishop, who during the ferocious battle for the island is pulled from his station aboard the USS Nevada to serve on-shore as a spotter, calling in coordinates for the ship to target with missiles. But Bishop is completely unready for what he will witness and experience: a literal hell, during which 26,000 Americans are killed in a fight to the very last man, which culminates in the blistering, sulphurous tunnels of Surabachi itself, where an entire platoon of Marines is held captive."--
