Book Description
This is the Second Edition of "Seek-On" A non-fiction account of a unique specialty created as a response to the ability of the enemy in Vietnam to "disappear" into the terrain. The Combat Tracker Team - 5 men and a Labrador retriever - were the counter-terrorist force of the late 1960s-early 1970s and they were successful in bringing justice to the "elusive enemy". Surviving their tours of duty with "commendable" success (according to General William C. Westmoreland), these highly trained warriors were separated; their records sealed in red tape and inaccessible to them or others; unable to communicate with the rest of their teams with whom they had bonded closer than brothers. This was due to the fact that the British military had been involved with the creation and initial training of the young volunteers who were the foundation of the Combat Tracker Teams of the US Army. In the world of international treaties, Great Britain could not be involved in this conflict...and so, despite the valor and mission success that they attained, their stories could not be told. They could not get proper care in the VA system. They could not validate claims of their combat in their real specialty. They were outside of the loop...until they started the clock again in 1998 and this is their story.

Seek You

Author: Kristen Radtke

Category : Comics & Graphic Novels
Languages : en
Pages : 359

Book Description
From the acclaimed author of Imagine Wanting Only This—a timely and moving meditation on isolation and longing, both as individuals and as a society. There is a silent epidemic in America: loneliness. Shameful to talk about and often misunderstood, loneliness is everywhere, from the most major of metropolises to the smallest of towns. In Seek You, Kristen Radtke's wide-ranging exploration of our inner lives and public selves, Radtke digs into the ways in which we attempt to feel closer to one another, and the distance that remains. Through the lenses of gender and violence, technology and art, Radtke ushers us through a history of loneliness and longing, and shares what feels impossible to share. Ranging from the invention of the laugh-track to the rise of Instagram, the bootstrap-pulling cowboy to the brutal experiments of Harry Harlow, Radtke investigates why we engage with each other, and what we risk when we turn away. With her distinctive, emotionally-charged drawings and deeply empathetic prose, Kristen Radtke masterfully shines a light on some of our most vulnerable and sublime moments, and asks how we might keep the spaces between us from splitting entirely.

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 353

Book Description
A searching, eloquent memoir about the joys and hardships of open adoption God and Jetfire is a mother's account of her decision to surrender her son in an open adoption and of their relationship over the twelve years that follow. Facing an unplanned pregnancy at twenty-two, Amy Seek and her ex-boyfriend begin an exhaustive search for a family to raise their child. They sift through hundreds of "Dear Birth Mother" letters, craft an extensive questionnaire, and interview numerous potential couples. Despite the immutability of the surrender, it does little to diminish Seek's newfound feelings of motherhood. Once an ambitious architecture student, she struggles to reconcile her sadness with the hope that she's done the best for her son, a struggle complicated by her continued, active presence in his life. For decades, closed adoptions were commonplace. Now, new laws are guaranteeing adoptees' access to birth records, and open adoption is on the rise. God and Jetfire is the rare memoir that explores the intricate dynamics and exceptional commitment of an open-adoption relationship from the perspective of a birth mother searching for her place within it. Written with literary poise and distinction, God and Jetfire is a story of a life divided between grief and gratitude, regret and joy. It is an elegy for a lost motherhood, a celebration of a family gained, and an apology to a beloved son.

Plus, a killer sense of humor. Thrown together by coincidence, the gruff mechanic and the sweet as sin baker have instant sparks. Suddenly, all of their carefully made plans have taken a giant freakin' left turn. And they do it on the back of a Harley.
