Orboth. Veterans of the war remain largely anonymous figures, accomplices in the mistake. Critically recounting the steps that led to the war, this book does not excuse the mistakes, but it brings those who served out of the shadows. Enduring Vietnam recounts the experiences of the young Americans who fought in Vietnam and of families who grieved those who did not return. By 1969 nearly half of the junior enlisted men who died in Vietnam were draftees. And their median age was 21 - among the non-draftees it was only 20. The book describes the \"baby boomers\" growing up in the 1950s, why they went into the military, what they thought of the war, and what it was like to serve in \"Nam.\" And to come home. With a vivid narrative of the Battle for \"Hamburger Hill,\" and through substantial interviews with those who served, the book depicts the cruelty of this war, and its quiet acts of courage. Enduring Vietnam provides an important dimension to the profile of an American generation and a rich account of an American War.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49527690428689,"sku":"GOR013605599","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49726013341969,"sku":"CIN1250092485G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49892141695249,"sku":"CIN1250092485VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":53575351894289,"sku":"CIN1250092485A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1250092485.jpg?v=1751176636"},{"product_id":"non-league-football-club-directory-book-james-wright-9781869833503","title":"Non-league Football Club Directory","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49543995523345,"sku":"GOR001496609","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49635377053969,"sku":"GOR001290357","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1869833503.jpg?v=1751028253"},{"product_id":"martyrs-of-malatya-book-james-wright-9781783971138","title":"Martyrs of Malatya","description":"This is a thrilling and yet sobering true story written by a missionary to Turkey. In the preface Todd Jamison (International Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Church) says: On April 18, 2007, three men gave their lives for Jesus Christ. Two Turkish Christians and one German . . . began their day simply wanting to spend time with local men they thought genuinely wanted to study the Bible. Instead, five hostile young men met their kindness and hospitality with betrayal and treachery. Very few followers of Christ in the rest of the world heard the story. Lost in the flood of news in our information age, it appeared to be just another senseless murder. But the deaths of Necati Aydin, Uğur Yuksel and Tilmann Geske, while perhaps ignored or quickly forgotten even among Christians around the world, continue to speak. They proclaim the truth that there are still those among us committed to witnessing to the gospel in difficult locations. They speak loudly of love for Christ and obedience to Him. They testify above the din about their commitment to share Jesus' own experience of betrayal and sacrifice that purchased salvation for people from every tongue, tribe and nation.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49552785178897,"sku":"GOR010096648","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/

Now new techniques of scientific analysis are being combined with greater theoretical sophistication to shed exciting new light on this conspicuous social practice. This collection of essays, also published as a special issue (73:2) of the journal Hesperia, investigates the rich evidence for the character of the Mycenaean feast. While much of the evidence discussed comes from the Palace of Nestor near Pylos, the authors also present new material from Tsoungiza near Nemea, and from other Bronze Age sites on mainland Greece and Crete. Textual evidence (from Linear B tablets) for the collection of raw materials, and the stocktaking of equipment, is complemented by discussions of the faunal and artifactual assemblages feasts left behind. Specially commissioned papers put Mycenaean practice in context by comparing it to contemporary activities on Cyprus and in Minoan Crete, while a final chapter compares Bronze with Iron Age Greece, especially as seen through the lens of Homeric epic. While not claiming to be a comprehensive survey of the practice of feasting, this volume offers, nonetheless, a rich and detailed collection of evidence, from a variety of sources, for conspicuous consumption in the Mycenaean period. As well as being core reading for Aegean prehistorians, it will be of interest to students of later Greek culture, anthropologists, and other scholars interested in the wider social aspects of eating and drinking.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50096026583313,"sku":"GOR013853252","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52585028682001,"sku":"NLS9780876619513","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0876619510.jpg?v=1751108176"},{"product_id":"those-who-have-borne-the-battle-book-james-wright-9781610392440","title":"Those Who Have Borne the Battle","description":"At the heart of the story of America's wars are our\"citizen soldiers”- those hometown heroes who fought and sacrificed from Bunker Hill at Charlestown to Pointe du Hoc in Normandy, and beyond, without expectation of recognition or recompense. Americans like to think that the service of its citizen volunteers is, and always has been, of momentous importance in our politics and society. But though this has made for good storytelling, the reality of America's relationship to its veterans is far more complex. In  Those Who Have Borne the Battle,  historian and marine veteran James Wright tells the story of the long, often troubled relationship between America and those who have defended her- from the Revolutionary War to today- shedding new light both on our history and on the issues our country and its armed forces face today. From the beginning, American gratitude to its warriors was not a given. Prior to World War II, the prevailing view was that, as citizen soldiers, the service of its young men was the price of citizenship in a free society. Even Revolutionary War veterans were affectionately, but only temporarily, embraced, as the new nation and its citizens had much else to do. In time, the celebration of the nation's heroes became an important part of our culture, building to the response to World War II, where warriors were celebrated and new government programs provided support for veterans. The greater transformation came in the wars after World War II, as the way we mobilize for war, fight our wars, and honor those who serve has changed in drastic and troubling ways. Unclear and changing military objectives have made our actions harder for civilians to stand behind, a situation compounded by the fact that the armed forces have become less representative of American society as a whole. Few citizens join in the sacrifice that war demands. The support systems seem less and less capable of handling the increasing number of wounded warriors returning from our numerous and bewildering conflicts abroad.            A masterful work of history,  Those Who Have Borne the Battle  expertly relates the burdens carried by veterans dating back to the Revolution, as well as those fighting today's wars. And it challenges Americans to do better for those who serve and sacrifice today.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50116585685265,"sku":"CIN1610392442G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51039254544657,"sku":"NIN9781610392440","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52133389500689,"sku":"NLS9781610392440","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52535440933137,"sku":"GOR014551386","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1610392442.jpg?v=1751119891"},{"product_id":"those-who-have-borne-the-battle-book-james-wright-9781610390729","title":"Those Who Have Borne the Battle","description":"This is an incisive history of America's complicated relationship with its armed forces. America has long celebrated its \"citizen soldiers,\" true patriots who fought for their nation in Bunker Hill at Charleston, Pointe Du Hoc in Normandy, and beyond. But for all the monuments commemorating America's war dead and programmes created to support the living, the fact is that regular Americans have become increasingly alienated from the armed forces protecting them. Veterans struggle to return and fit in to a society that does not understand what they've gone through. In \"Those Who Have Borne the Battle\", history professor and former marine James Wright narrates the history of America's wars and warriors since the Revolution. He closely examines how Americans have mobilized and demobilized, tracking the changing definitions of heroism and sacrifice attached to those who serve. As Wright demonstrates, since World War II American military objectives have grown imprecise, poorly communicated to the civilian populace. Simultaneously the US army, once a body of volunteers, has become a band of professional warriors. Fewer citizens join in the sacrifice that war demands. Therefore, not only are martial aims opaque, but the military itself is less and less representative of American society at large. Spanning the nation's origins to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, \"Those Who Have Borne the Battle\" confronts the question of how Americans go to war, and what it means for those who fight. At a time when more and more veterans are returning home, it empathetically assesses the burdens carried by those fighting today's war in Iraq and Afghanistan, challenging Americans to do better for them.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50120527413521,"sku":"CIN1610390725G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50396539552017,"sku":"CIN1610390725A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51331486417169,"sku":"CIN1610390725VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B007Q7HTKE.jpg?v=1750720149"},{"product_id":"collected-poems-book-james-wright-9780819568618","title":"Collected Poems","description":"A collection of authentic, profound and beautiful poems.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50148578033937,"sku":"CIN0819568619G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50772542587153,"sku":"GOR010044784","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51008465207569,"sku":"NIN9780819568618","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52657919852817,"sku":"CIN0819568619VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0819568619.jpg?v=1751108297"},{"product_id":"selected-poems-book-james-wright-9780374529024","title":"Selected Poems","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe first selected poems of a major poet who \"wrote with more heart than any other North American poet of the twentieth century\" (Rodney Jones, \u003ci\u003eParnassus\u003c\/i\u003e)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e More than any other poet of his generation, James Wright spoke to the great sadness and hope that are inextricable from the iconography of America: its rail yards, rivers, cities, and once vast natural beauty.

Veterans of the war remain largely anonymous figures, accomplices in the mistake.

Enduring Vietnam recounts the experiences of the young Americans who fought in Vietnam and of families who grieved those who did not return. By 1969, nearly half of the junior enlisted men who died in Vietnam were draftees, and their median age was twenty-one; among the non-draftees it was only twenty.  The book describes the baby boomers growing up in the 1950s, why they went into the military, what they thought of the war, and what it was like to serve in 'Nam' - and to come home from it. With a vivid narrative of the battle for 'Hamburger Hill' and through substantial interviews with those who served, the book depicts the cruelty of this war and its quiet acts of courage.

From their original conception in Christian scripture to their assimilation into Western culture, the 'Seven Deadly Sins' – lust, greed, envy, pride, and all the rest – have guided human morality, steering human behavior and psychology away from evil and toward a full embrace of the good. But their hold on modern life is increasingly tenuous. Indeed, one may observe that these days, deadly sin is far more common and more commonly practiced than its virtuous counterparts – humility, charity, kindness, industriousness, and chastity. Without greed, there is no economy; without anger, no politics; and without pride and envy, surely less motivation and competition would exist.  James D. Wright carefully examines the complexities and ambiguities in modern society in the context of the seven deadly sins and their corresponding virtues. Are we all lost souls, condemned by our immoral deeds, or are the trappings of older sin deteriorating? Is it time, finally, to reconsider the classifications of evil and good?  Wright uses each chapter to consider how the social sciences have operationalized each 'sin', how they have been studied, and what lessons have been learned over time. He reviews recent trends and contemplates the societal costs and benefits of the behaviors in question. Lost Souls emerges, then, as a meditation on contemporary sin, concluding that the line between guilt and innocence, right and wrong, is often very thin.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50370766012689,"sku":"CIN1138481807G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52655938732305,"sku":"NLS9781138481800","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1138481807.jpg?v=1750854740"},{"product_id":"homewood-book-james-wright-9781467127271","title":"Homewood","description":"From its beginnings as one of the first stops on the Illinois Central Railroad in 1853, to its position as the jewel of the south suburbs today, Homewood has had a rich and varied history.

Reading the Qur'an can help build bridges of respect between one other. The Qur'an says do not argue with the People of the Book except in the best way (Surah 29:46 Al-Ankabut).This can also be very readable to Muslims because it runs smoothly and seems to contain no dogmatic complexities.I like the conclusions especially the ultimate one in chapter 55.

Sociologists assert that hypotheses can be formulated and tested against empirical evidence, that faulty viewpoints can be uncovered and discarded, and that plausible theory can be distinguished from mere ideology. This collection was written over a span of forty-four years and is presented in the belief that sociology is a science.  In Social Problems, Social Issues, Social Science, James D. Wright presents his research on some of the social issues that have most vexed America: homelessness, addiction, divorce, minimum wage, and gun control, among others. Starting with essays first published in the flagship journal Society, Wright offers readers a foundational look at specific social problems and the methods sociologists have used to study them. He then provides an up-to-date re-examination of each issue, analysing the changes that have occurred over time and how sociologists have responded to it.  This book is both a retrospective on the field and on one scholar's life and work. Using his own experience in researching and writing about America's most trenchant social issues, Wright describes the evolution of the methods and theory used by social scientists to understand and, ultimately, to confront America's most troublesome social problems.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50963697991953,"sku":"CIN1412865018VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52456389476625,"sku":"NLS9781412865012","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1412865018.jpg?v=1750714368"},{"product_id":"branch-will-not-break-20th-century-nature-poems-of-north-america-hardcover-book-james-wright-9780359743346","title":"The Branch Will Not Break: 20th Century Nature Poems of North America (Hardcover)","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51001349243153,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51001352323345,"sku":"NIN9780359743346","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/035974334X.jpg?v=1750975315"},{"product_id":"american-apartheid-book-james-wright-9780972658119","title":"American Apartheid","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51010082439441,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51010085323025,"sku":"NIN9780972658119","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0972658114.jpg?v=1750948509"},{"product_id":"no-more-gallant-a-deed-book-james-wright-9781681340524","title":"No More Gallant a Deed","description":"James A. Wright was an orderly sergeant in Company F of the First Minnesota Volunteer Infantry Regiment in the Civil War. His memoir, based on his diaries and letters, is the fullest personal account of the battles, marches, and soldier life of one of the most renowned regiments in the Army of the Potomac. The First took part in every significant battle and action in the war in the East from 1861 to 1864. In remarkable detail, he describes the fighting at Bull Run, the Peninsula Campaign, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, and Bristoe Station. At Gettysburg, the First Minnesota halted the Confederate charge and suffered an 82 percent casualty rate. Wright's account of the battle is striking in its description of the horror the men felt at facing their foes, their determination to do their duty, and the shock of the loss of so many of their comrades.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith an eloquence rare in war memoirs, Wright recalls the long marches, the poor food, the inadequate shelter, the dedicated officers, the debilitating illnesses, the longing for home, and the sense of pride in carrying out the struggle to preserve the Union. For conveying what the Civil War meant to one man, it is unmatched.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51045525717265,"sku":"NIN9781681340524","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51330473623825,"sku":"CIN1681340526VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51869256614161,"sku":"CIN1681340526G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1681340526.jpg?v=1751278195"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-james-wright.oembed?page=5","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
