THE HISTORY OF WOMEN IN THE MARINES

THE HISTORY OF WOMEN IN THE MARINES

First, I absolutely love the book’s cover! It caught my eye immediately and I had to see what was inside. The historical information is fascinating. The stories about the women and their “firsts” is extremely inspiring. My step-dad was a tough Marine, so it was really cool to read about the women who played a significant role in the Marines and how they were able to make such a positive impact in what has been, traditionally, a man’s arena. Great book!

As Time Goes By

As Time Goes By

Plagued by questions of narcissism, existentialism, and identity, Old is a contradictory narrator who both insists on his significance and denies it, offering up memories of his childhood, Navy service, love affairs, and professional life in unembellished prose. Awash in nostalgia, this book offers a misty-eyed look back at childhood from the vantage of old age… Even so, the author imbues each chapter with the essence of the past, painting a vivid portrait of American boyhood in the 20th century.
