Since the advent of war, history has recorded the exploits of the generals or the heroic deeds of a few individuals. Although the commanders might acknowledge the exploits of their regiments, history books generally have neglected the cogs in the wheel of war - the low ranking military man. These men bore the burden of war - manning the front lines, carrying the equipment and supplies, preparing meals for thousands, and sending vital messages from unit to unit. Many of these men were the unsung heroes of war. Through the Eyes of a PFC 1942-1945 chronicles the journey of one such soldier, Abraham I. Blum, an interior design store clerk, from induction into the military; rigorous training in the swamps of Mississippi and Louisiana, in the sweltering heat of the Mojave Desert, in the sands and mountains of North Africa; to fighting in the three major Italian campaigns - Rome/Arno, North Apennines, and Po Valley - prior to his return to the shores of America. The book, which details facts of everyday life of the average soldier, is supported by a plethora of photographs and quotes from period correspondence /modern interviews of PFC Blum. The military, far from being a homogenous mix, was a microcosm of American society. Timely topics such as racism and anti-Semitism also infiltrated the military. Abe Blum did his part in the war against the Nazis. In a 2008 interview he stated, "I was glad and proud to serve my country during war. I did all I had to do and all I could do, to the best of my ability." The years in the army had a profound and lasting impact on the lives of many men. Through the Eyes of a PFC 1942-1945 is a tribute to the bravery and heroism of the average soldier.
A debut book from Entertainment Weekly writer and former Out magazine editor Lester Fabian Brathwaite, Rage is a darkly comedic exploration of Blackness, queerness, and the American Dream, at a time when creative anger feels like the best response to inequality. One romantic hopeful had greeted Lester Fabian Brathwaite on a dating app with this gem: "You into race play?" Being young, queer, gifted, and Black, Lester has found that his best tool for navigating American life is gallows humor. If you don't laugh, you cry--or, you summon your inner rage. With biting wit, Lester's book Rage interrogates all the ways that systemic racism and homophobia have shaped our society. All to pose that proverbial question: Can a gurl live? Rage is one part memoir, one part cultural critique, one part live grenade. He contrasts his tragic-comedic love life with the ideals he had formed from bingeing (straight, white) Hollywood depictions. And he is quick to side-eye the misogyny and internalized homophobia that some people reveal in statements like "masc for masc" on dating profiles. Lester also dives deep into representations of queer life from RuPaul's Drag Race to The Birdcage (Robin Williams was a snack in Versace), and explores our cultural understanding of Black genius through stories of James Baldwin, Whitney Houston, and Nina Simone. Lester's razor-sharp voice, coupled with his searing social commentary on topics such as dating, rejection, racism, sexuality, identity, and more, offer an increasingly divided world an engaging and original read.
The complete story of Disciples ministerial education in California is long overdue. It is needed so that the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) may better understand the long struggle and sacrifice, of both clergy and laity, to provide a means of educating the leadership of the church. Understanding how those who have gone before us wrestled with similar problems may help us better chart the future.
