Occasionally, insignificant people associate with history’s influential men and women while engaging in the most convulsive events the world has witnessed. This creative non-fictional saga, presented in five volumes, opens at the moment of Samuel’s capture by Shawnee warriors then takes us back to when he was 15 years old in Cardington, Bedfordshire, England and follows Samuel’s incredible life forward. Samuel’s sojourn reveals important aspects of service with the British Royal Navy as a surgeon’s assistant aboard a British warship, then, as translator, negotiator, writer and counselor among Indian tribes during the American Revolution, post-revolution backwoods battles, and War of 1812, Samuel struggles with allegiances. Samuel encountered conditions that changed cultures and possession of lands on a continental scale while actively participating in events dramatically altering the course of humanity and birthing of a free nation. As a child he was a citizen of England, as a boy he was unjustly accused of coin clipping, convicted and banished with no nation to claim. As a man, he became a citizen of two native nations on the American continent. Through Samuel’s eyes, we witness sea and land battles between England and France on the Atlantic and in the Caribbean. We participate in backwoods struggles between white settlers and natives, a near-forgotten yet explosive part of events leading to The American Revolution. And, we discover the War of 1812 in very personal ways as Indian nations, British, Canadian Loyalists, American Patriots and pioneer settlers embroil in deadly conflicts over borders and the right to rule. Embraced as a son by Daniel and Rebecca Boone, Samuel helped blaze a wilderness road through Cumberland Gap and participated in building Boones Fort on the Kentucky. Near there, on December 23rd 1775, Samuel and his close friend William McQuinney were attacked by Shawnee warriors. William was killed and scalped while Samuel, taken prisoner, was adopted into the Shawnee Nation thus launching a life he could never have anticipated. Later, Samuel became a warrant lieutenant, serving with the British 41st Infantry of Foot, Indian Department. He was an interpreter, speech writer and counselor to several chiefs of the Shawnee and Wyandotte nations including Cornstalk, Blue Jacket, Tarhe, Round Head, Splitlog, Red Pole and Tecumseh. He participated in nearly every major battle including Frenchtown and The Thames where Chief Tecumseh, was killed. Samuel, a Sephardic Jew, married first Pashika of the Shawnee who bore four children before she was killed by Kentucky mounted militia. He later married Sokanon of the Wyandotte, who bore two sons before dying of disease. Samuel never returned to a white man’s way of life and died at his home in Amherstburg, Ontario, Canada in the winter of 1818. He is buried there on the banks of the Detroit River, along with several notable Wyandotte chiefs and their families including his daughter Nancy, the wife of Chief Adam Brown Jr. Samuel Saunders is truly a man of nations who remained loyal to England, to his native brethren and to his Hebrew God. * * * * *

Best Ebook PDF Online Out of Jordan: A Sabra in the Peace Corps Tells Her Story, by Dalya Cohen-Mor

A riveting memoir of the first Israeli-born Jewish American to be sent as a Peace Corps volunteer to a closed Arab society.A good memoir is a survivor’s tale—the story of a person who has faced obstacles and made it through well enough to tell it. Dalya Cohen-Mor, a Sabra-born American woman, volunteered to serve in the Peace Corps, went through a lengthy and highly competitive application process, was accepted, and was sent to serve in the predominantly Palestinian country Jordan, of all countries. Upon arrival in Jordan, Cohen-Mor was instructed by Peace Corps supervisors to conceal her Jewish identity, use an alias instead of her real last name, and pretend that she was Christian so as not to compromise her safety and efficacy as a Peace Corps volunteer.As a single woman, a Sabra, and an American Peace Corps volunteer in a conservative Arab society, Cohen-Mor was forced to navigate unchartered territory, redefine her values and attitudes, and discover what it means to be perceived as the Other. She lived in the household of a Bedouin host family in a remote village in the eastern desert of Jordan, teaching English at the village girls’ elementary school. As she traveled around the Kingdom, she often found herself in delicate, complicated, and dangerous situations. After three months of hard work in the Peace Corps, she was accused of being involved in intelligence activities and unceremoniously sent back home. Although she lost her dream to serve in the Peace Corps, she found something more precious in the process: her core identity and sense of self.Out of Jordan paints a penetrating portrait of contemporary life in Jordan, with insight into the complexities of a closed Arab society—family life, women’s roles, the Arab-Israeli conflict, and the perception of America in the minds of ordinary people. With relentless honesty and unflinching courage, Cohen-Mor recounts her personal journey across borders and cultures into the living realities of two peoples—Arabs and Jews—with conflicting national identities but a common humanity.Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Arcade imprint, are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in history--books about World War II, the Third Reich, Hitler and his henchmen, the JFK assassination, conspiracies, the American Civil War, the American Revolution, gladiators, Vikings, ancient Rome, medieval times, the old West, and much more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.

7 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Irresponsibly Inaccurate - nearly libel. By annie bricker I was a volunteer that "served" with Dalya. I put served in quotes because she did not complete her training period. I have two clear memories of Dalya. The first was walking through the airport on our way to the flight that would take us to Jordan. She asked me to carry her bags for her, even though I was weighed down with my own bags. When I politely refused, she seemed quite put out. The second was when I causally asked where she was from and she said somewhere in New England (I honestly don't remember.) By my reckoning, if anyone, Jordanian or volunteer, were to have discriminatory tendencies towards Israelis, she would never have known, as she misrepresented her background. Other than that, I have few memories, as Dalya mostly kept to herself, and tended to be quite closed when dealing with host families or Jordanian Peace Corps trainers.In retrospect, her behavior may have belied her desire to simply stay long enough to write this "tell-all" memoir. Admittedly, I have only read sections - I'd rather not give her time or money - but the sections I have ready have varied from "misrepresentation of the truth" to "that did not actually happen at all."As for the rest of us, we served our 27+ months in Jordan. Is the Peace Corps perfect - no. Is Jordan perfect - no. However, we worked alongside our Jordanian hosts, confided in them, became family with each other and with our hosts. I have lived all over the world, and have never experienced the kind of hospitality and generosity that I did while living in Jordan.Dalya, I am sorry that you did not complete your service (whether it was your decision or PC's). I am sorry to say that I do not recall a moment that you interacted in any kind of open or honest way with the country that was so welcoming to you. I am sorry that you decided to misrepresent the Peace Corps, your fellow volunteers, and to disrespect the generosity of your Jordanian trainers and hosts. I know you don't understand the sadness that this has caused us all, because you didn't stay and contribute to the family that we created.As for potential readers - don't buy this book. If you do want to read it, I personally encourage you to return it within the 7 day return policy as to not give this woman any profit from contributing to myths that ultimately make the world a bit darker. If you would like to hear an honest account of serving a full term as a Peace Corps volunteer in Jordan, please get in touch with Friends of Jordan - the RPCV community.

6 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Peace Corps By sergio maldonado Jordan is a closed, dangerous Arab country? I thought that was Saudi Arabia. Aren't the first two months of Peace Corps service spent in a training community? So technically, this writer spent 1 month in the community she was assigned to. I also know that when a volunteer feels unsafe in his or her community, that volunteer has the option of being reassigned to another community. I've met several Jordan RPCVs, and they all seem to have had a great experience over there.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Audible version: Dry, bitter, and tasteless By H2OJunkie As a soon-to-be (my disclaimer) Peace Corps volunteer, I was excited to listen to someone who had a less-than-positive experience with the modern Peace Corps to ready myself for service and the complications that come with it, especially from an older volunteer. In that, I was highly disappointed. I will be reviewing this in three parts: Performance, Writing Style, and Story.Performance: Judith West's dry manner and dropping in tone at the end of every single word makes this a difficult listen. I honestly wanted to return it after the first few minutes, but wanted to hear the entire book that I paid good money for. I am not sure if I would have enjoyed the book more if it were read by someone else or not, but West's voice made it nearly unbearable.Writing Style: It is very evident that Cohen-Mor is a writer of non-fiction and a scholar. This book, which is a first-hand account, is written in that style. The descriptions are lacking any descriptive language, but that means that the author uses many colloquialisms, depending on the reader's knowledge of American English and their own imagination to fill in the blanks. In one scene, Cohen-Mor states that, "'Person A' made the tea, and 'Person B' (Person A's wife) poured it into cups. This brief, very unnecessary description, is only one example of of how Cohen-Mor uses a very distinctly factual based description, yet is constantly telling the reader that an observation lead to an observed party to "feel" a certain way. Fiction and non-fiction writers of stories know that one creates an unreliable narrator with those sorts of assumptions. This led me personally to think of the narrator as not only unreliable, but also as whiny whenever she described other's behavior towards her.  The language used lacked varying adjectives and adverbs and became tedious because of constant repetition. Because of this, I was happy when the book finally finished. I felt I had accomplished something after a grueling and arduous task rather than being upset there was not more.Story:First off, the fact that Dalya Cohen-Mor states that Georgetown University (her alma mater for her PhD) is, "one of the eight Ivy League Universities," three quarters of the way through the book is troubling and mystifying as Georgetown is NOT one of the eight Universities in the Ivy League. It is a very prestigious University, but to claim it is an Ivy League University is highly erroneous. Second, as someone who has a PhD in language and prides herself on her linguistic background, you would think she would be more sensitive to derogatory terms. She uses the term "Irish Twins," over and over throughout the book to describe herself and her brother, but clearly hasn't researched the incredibly racist origins of the phrase.That being said, Cohen-Mor parades her accolades throughout this book on a constant basis in a "look at me, look at me" brandishing that was grating and frustrating for this reader. She is constantly making excuses for her lack of action and everything seems to happen TO her, with little action/reaction from her. She victimizes herself from the very beginning, attempting to "trust" others when she knows something isn't a good fit for her and allowing herself to be pushed into things she states she knows aren't a good idea from the beginning. She asks very few questions and just floats through, keeping her eye on the "end goal," of Peace Corps service. After her first assignment in China is dissolved and she is offered Jordan, she accepts, despite many very valid reservations, because she wants to appear "adaptable." This is repeated throughout the book, showing the character lacks any insight on her own responsibility for her own situation.Once in Jordan, Cohen-Mor complains about dirt, germs, living conditions, and the way she is treated by the other volunteers as well as the Peace Corps staff. Once in the village for training, she then laments the lack of food in her host family's home as well as the noise and sleeping conditions, but says nothing in fear of offending them. Then, while complaining about hunger, refuses to eat anything high in calories or that she deems "unhealthy." She then complains about the squat toilet (the traditional method of relieving oneself in the Middle East), the lack of a light bulb, followed by the lack of locks once she forces the Peace Corps to move her because her walk is too long and unsafe (the unsafe part where she is having rocks thrown at her makes complete sense, but is lost within her host of other complaints.) Serious concerns for her safety are lacking here because of her glancing over the abuse she suffers on her walks to describe the harsh living conditions she says she is forced to endure in comparison to the cozy conditions of the other volunteers.As I stated above, I am going into the Peace Corps. I'm doing this knowing that I could live in a mud hut with only a straw mattress to sleep upon and very little food. I know this because I have read many accounts of returned volunteers. I researched it. I know that sometimes living conditions are sub-par and unfair across the group of volunteers.  It seems that this woman did little to no research on what volunteering in the Peace Corps actually entails. She even had the gall to complain that her prestigious assignment at a University meant more work than her counterparts. I was so disgusted with this woman that I didn't even feel sorry for her that she was removed from service. It almost seemed like she wanted to be!As for her fight to find out what her background check had uncovered that lead to her dismissal from service, the Peace Corps is very clear in its mission and states that any ties to intelligence offices will disqualify one from service. The mission is to promote peace and friendship in foreign lands through a government run agency. They cannot risk their reputation being tainted in any way. The author herself described a letter she received that any question in intelligence work would lead to the Peace Corps to err on the side of caution, meaning a dismissal. Applying to the FBI and failing a polygraph is absolute grounds for dismissal. The timing was unfortunate and should be explained to the dismissed, and she was correct in being upset about that, but this book is a lot of lead-up for very little follow-through. Anyone who has applied to, and been given a polygraph, to any intelligence/criminal investigation agency would most likely be denied Peace Corps service entry, especially if they failed the polygraph. This is logical. The fact that the individual was cleared for daily life in the United States does not mean she is cleared for Peace Corps mission work. She was disqualified for life the moment she failed that test. If she had passed and taken the job, she would have also been disqualified from service for life. This is simply how these agencies run. It is clearly stated in multiple sources that Peace Corps service bars a person from gainful employment in any of the intelligence agencies for life and vice versa. Perhaps if this woman took her own fate more seriously and did some research, she could have avoided this entirely.As for the FBI and Peace Corps' lengthy background check process, it's the Federal government. It isn't right, but it isn't unexpected either.I would absolutely not recommend this to anyone.

One of the most fascinating and intriguing UFO cases of all time occurred in December 1980 in the United Kingdom, near the U.S.-operated military base of RAF Bentwaters, within the Rendlesham Forest. For thirty-five years, it has stood the test of time as something truly extraordinary. Moreover, it has been subject to more controversy than any other UFO case in history, rivaled only by Roswell. One element of this controversy concerns one of the key witnesses of this case, a U.S. airman named Larry Warren, who has been attacked repeatedly by the base's Deputy Commander, Lt. Colonel (later full Colonel) Charles Halt. These attacks have become so misleading and vicious, that they have not only caused serious confusion about what actually happened during the Rendlesham Forest Incident (RFI), but have triggered speculation about Mr. Halt's motives. Peter Robbins is one of the leading experts on the RFI, and is the co-author (with Larry Warren) of Left at East Gate, one of the most important studies of the RFI. Here, Mr. Robbins has not only written a definitive refutation of Mr. Halt's attacks on Larry Warren, but has made the definitive defense of Mr. Warren, proving conclusively that Warren was there, and was truthful in his testimony about what transpired.

3 of 4 people found the following review helpful. A point-by-point rebuttal of a malicious and dishonest presentation. Well worth reading. By A Movie Lover After reading this book, and then reviewing the video of Col. Halt's presentation which it references, I can only conclude that the authors of the "one star" reviews listed here are complicit in the disinformation campaign Peter Robbins so clearly identifies. This book is about "just the facts, ma'am." Robbins very carefully examines Col. Halt's comments one by one, and for each comment provides strong evidence to back his position that Col. Halt is deliberately misinforming the audience - not because of ineptitude, but because of malicious intent.I was especially disturbed to read that the organizers of Col. Halt's "public" presentation barred certain people from attending, and controlled the questions to be asked to Col. Halt. In such a case, how can Col. Halt's talk be viewed as anything other than a biased presentation including ad hominem attacks on certain of the participants in the events? Such a presentation deserves a rebuttal, and Mr. Robbins has delivered exactly what is required for a balanced understanding of the situation. My suggestion is for Col. Halt to respond in kind, and write a statement-by-statement rebuttal of Mr. Robbins' comments, providing the documents and backup for his point of view. Frankly, I don't think he can (or will) do it, but until he does, Mr. Robbins' well-documented and clearly articulated response should be viewed as the authoritative reference work on this subject.If you follow the Rendlesham Forest Incident, you owe it to yourself to include this book in your library.My only nit-pick is that in the rush to publication, a number of typos and grammatical errors were not noticed, but I assume this will be corrected in a future version.

9 of 13 people found the following review helpful. Couldn't put it down...Riveting! By HappyCamper For many years Col Halt and the government have waged a war of disinformation and divisiveness, using all the tools at their disposal to obscure the truth about the RFI, including radio and tv, internet forums, and yes even negative book reviews. Peter Robbins takes a bold step in confronting the powers that be in this, his latest book. Having already co-authored the definitive book on the RFI, "Left At East Gate," Robbins now turns his attention to providing a point by point rebuttal of Col Halt's attack on Larry Warren at the recent Woodbridge Conference. In "Halt At Woodbridge" he also reveals previously unreleased evidence which proves that in many instances, the deception by Halt has been deliberate. Whether you have followed these events for years, or this is your first introduction to them, this book is a must read.

2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. "Halt in Woodbridge" is a Triumph For The Truth For Larry Warren, a UFO Whistleblower By Barry L. Nelson This 178 page book is a direct response to former Col. Charles Halt's public presentation, in Woodbridge, Suffolk, UK, in July, 2015. This book expertly explains what appears to me as an attempt by the Colonel to wipe away previous facts and statements made by 1980 witnesses to the 1980 Rendlesham Forest Incident, specifically, Larry Warren, and many others whom went on record, including Halt, in Robbins' "Left at East Gate: A First-Hand Account of the Rendlesham Forest UFO Incident, Its Cover-Up and Investigation", by Larry Warren and Peter Robbins. Mr Robbins breaks down Col Halt's complete community presentation, each misstatement and "revision", and provides quotes and the facts as previously written in "Left at East Gate", which occurred over three nights in late December, 1980. The first, most basic false statement by Col. Halt was that Larry Warren, an Air Force security specialist, was not there at Capel Green on the third night of the RFI Incident. He was, and there's factual proof in his military record, and other witnesses at the scene. From there, Col. Halt generalizes, and slanders Warren about issues in his personal life that were not true. It was an aid to me to have "Left at East Gate", for reference, as Mr Robbins meticulously details page and chapter from LAEG, in "Halt in Woodbridge". Buying both books rounds out the complete story, and I recommend this for any serious reader. Col Halt proves nothing of substance in error in the work of Mr Robbins or Larry Warren. And while its clear from the reading, Halt's attempt to discredit Warren and Mr Robbins with "new" facts is not accomplished, one wonders what his intentions were in talking to the community of Suffolk, other than to muddy the truth, confuse his listeners, and try to throw his former military weight through blithe and poorly constructed untruth's. Robbins accomplishes his goal to protect the reputation of his friend and colleague, Larry Warren, and exposes one more attempt to cover the RFI Incident with a toe-hold of disinformation and lies, something the military establishment of both the UK and the US, and Mr Halt, were unable to do over the last 35 years, and thereby, in so doing, gave more professional credibility to Ufology journalists, such as Mr Peter Robbins.

Characterized by global war, political revolution and national crises, the period between 1914 and 1945 was one of the most horrifying eras in the history of the West. A noted scholar of modern German history, Heinrich August Winkler examines how and why Germany so radically broke with the normative project of the West and unleashed devastation across the world.   In this total history of the thirty years between the start of World War One and the dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Winkler blends historical narrative with political analysis and encompasses military strategy, national identity, class conflict, economic development and cultural change. The book includes astutely observed chapters on the United States, Japan, Russia, Britain, and the other European powers, and Winkler’s distinctly European perspective offers insights beyond the accounts written by his British and American counterparts. As Germany takes its place at the helm of a unified Europe, Winkler’s fascinating account will be widely read and debated for years to come.

A work by a German historian who knows who was right in World War II By Schmerguls This book by a prolific German historian who was born in 1938 was published in German in 2011 and in English in 2015. It is a very detailed account of of events during the years named--becoming more detailed as we approach World War II. I found it admirable since it does not make any excuse for Hitler or for those who were responsible for his attaining power. And while Stalin's crimes are recognized the author, unlike some Germans,,in no way seeks to excuse Hitler or to suggest that it was not providential that Hitler was destroyed by the cooperation of the good guys of the West combining with Communist Russia. The book is the second volume of a four volume history starting with the dawn of German history and going up to the present, but as far as I know this volume is the only one of the four translated into English. Some of the account of American history shows a lack of familiarity with American politics but I don't think it is seriously misleading. It took me 11 days to read this work but I felt it was time well spent..

To compare Kershaw to Winkler is like comparing an apple to an orange By Gabriel Sassoon To compare Kershaw to Winkler is like comparing an apple to an orange. Kershaw is a magnificent writer who seeks to look for trends and patterns, focusing on the whole forest in order to see its contours. Winkler, on the other hand, delves into the forest, checking out each tree, and only then positing his analysis and interpretations. Details are important! I have read many books on this period, and this is by far one the best I have read. It is a detailed, intelligent, thought-provoking look at the ALL the factors- and not just some- that lead to the age of catastrophe. I feel lucky in finally having an English version of this book. I have waited a long time and hope his other works will also be translated.This is as good as it gets.Gabriel Sassoon

The Thirty-Years War- Take Two By Christian Schlect A lumbering account of the what happened in Europe for about thirty bad years of the last century.While the writer, a German historian, starts slowly and often bogs the reader down in the minutia of better forgotten election counts in obscure countries of the Balkans, his book does gather steam and many interesting arguments and observations are made. Why did the Great War's political ending spawn so many problems? What was Italian fascism? Why did Germany allow Hitler to come to power? What became of the Jews and why? What part in this horrible time was played by the USSR? What was the political aftermath of World War II in terms of Europe's colonial system?As with any book of this scope an sweep, there are plenty of objections to be made. For example, I find it hard to believe that Pierre Laval was "one the finest political minds France has ever known." (p. 586) Or, that "there was no enthusiasm [by the public] for war in Germany in September 1939." (p.669) Or, that Stafford Cripps had any real shot for the leadership of England in 1942.(p. 746)Dr. Winkler is weak on United States political issues. One example: When discussing the rejection of the Morgenthau Plan (p. 860), the author claims that if the U.S. leaders had stuck to this harsh economic plan for post-war Germany it would have led to chaos in Germany and for the American people "to rise up against their leaders." I doubt it.Setting aside my many specific reservations, this is all-in-all, a good thought provoking history--from a modern German perspective--for those deeply interested in the politics and wars of the early- to mid-twentieth century.
