Editorial Review from the Judge, Writer's Digest 21st Annual Self-Published Book Awards: "In Camp Hero, author Charles Carlino tackles the difficult concept of creating a storyline around two separate but equally devastating national tragedies: the Vietnam War and 9-11. It isn't the tragedies themselves that are the focus of Carlino's story, rather the people who were directly affected by the devastation and survived only to find their lives turned upside down, changed forever. Some are able to heal from their wounds with the help of others, while some are forever lost in the darkness of limbo. Carlino's characters are well-drawn and thus believable and sympathetic. We feel for these people and the loved ones who suffered with them. Carlino makes his story seem as if it is unfolding in front of the reader's eyes, and this is due much in part to his decision to write the narrative in present tense. This is usually a difficult choice to make craft-wise, simply because it's hard to keep the narrative from slipping into the more normal past tense, so kudos to him for staying on track." Editorial Review from the Judge, Writer's Digest 22nd Annual Self-Published Book Awards: "Many are the unsung heroes of the United States of America ... the cherished American dream rests atop many a graveyard and darkened conscience. This is no less true when the American dream is itself threatened, as it was by the attack on 9/11. ... Camp Hero is a place to heal, and I enjoyed the protagonist's] philosophical question, "Is there ever a right way to die? Fighting for a belief or falling victim to an unknown enemy?" ... What emerges from this book, Camp Hero, is the true resilience of the American spirit, celebrated in all the characters and their pursuits. I liked the juxtaposition of surfing with a military regiment, for it signals in its way why, ultimately, American service people ever enter battle: to uphold the American way of life. We are beholden to our fellow citizens, other Americans, those who serve and those who fall, even as innocent civilians. ... Carlino demonstrated the bonds between falling in battle, in attack or through attempting to help another, admirably. They all show death with meaning." About Camp Hero This is not a story of war, nor a story about the horrors of the terror act of 9/11 - It is a story about the pain and devastation to the hearts and souls of those who lived through these atrocities. Camp Hero brings us closer than we dare to the reality and suffering of a past horror. One might call it this pain a disease, with its symptoms the recollection of an enemy. Look around - they are there, they are all around us, they dare not impose. Once beautiful flowers of mankind, they stood tall, proud, full of life's vigor, ready to greet each day with purpose. All this has been stripped away. No longer can they function as we do, no longer are they able to mend, to dream or even to exist. These children at heart are trapped in a hell. Their only salvation is the brotherhood that keeps them alive to make it through another day. On the shores of Eastern Long Island, at the place known as "The End," stands a mighty lighthouse, casting its majestic beam for more than a century bridging the time between two worlds. High on the steep, rocky bluffs flanking its western border, you can still see the remains of a fortress, this skeleton of a once thriving outpost, still active with the many souls who lived and died there serving our great nation during World War II. It is here among the ruins that our story comes alive, offering an answer to the pain and suffering from the tragic loss of our loved ones. It is here at Camp Hero we begin to heal.

Ground breaking for Camp Crowder occurred on August 30, 1941, led by the engineering firm of Burns and McDonnell, of Kansas City, Missouri.During World War II, Camp Crowder became the duty location for contingents of the Women's Army Corps, the home to a Signal Corps Replacement Training Center, and provided basic training to new recruits. While thousands of Signal Corps recruits trained on the nearly 43,000-acre site, a prisoner of war camp was created to house more than 2,000 prisoners, the majority of whom were captured German soldiers.Camp Crowder's legacy has been perpetuated through the decades by the late Mort Walker, creator of the iconic Beetle Bailey comic strip, who received inspiration for his fictional Camp Swampy while stationed at the camp in 1943. Additionally, episodes of The Dick Van Dyke Show paid homage to Camp Crowder since the show's creator, Carl Reiner, spent time there in World War II.In later years, much of the camp's original property became home to Crowder College while 4,358 acres has been retained by the Missouri National Guard for use as a training site.Jeremy P. Amick, a former Missouri National Guardsman, is a military historian/public affairs officer with the Silver Star Families of America and has for years strived to preserve Missouri's military legacy. Images were obtained from the author's personal collection, Missouri State Archives, Museum of Missouri Military History, and Burns and McDonnell.
In 1908, Camp Clark came into existence when it was established as the State Rifle Range in Nevada, Missouri, and quickly progressed into the primary marksmanship training and encampment site for the Missouri National Guard. On August 5, 1917, when the entire National Guard of the United States was drafted into federal service for World War I, the camp became a mobilization and early training site for more than 10,000 Missouri National Guard soldiers. With the passing of Brig. Gen. Harvey C. Clark, a beloved adjutant general, the location was officially renamed Camp Clark in his honor. Aviator Charles Lindbergh, who acquired worldwide fame for his transatlantic flight in 1927, spent time training at Camp Clark in the 1920s. During World War II, the camp fell under federal control and became an internment site for Italian and German prisoners of war. In the years after the war, the camp underwent various expansions but continues to serve as a training location for various Missouri National Guard units and, in recent years, has even been utilized for pre-mobilization training.
A highly illustrated account of one of the major battles of Italy's 13th century wars, immortalized in the Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri who was one of the combatants.Campaldino is one of the important battles between the Guelphs and Ghibellines - the major political factions in the city states of central and northern Italy. It heralded the rise of Florence to a dominant position over the area of Tuscany and was one of the last occasions when the Italian city militias contested a battle, with the 14th century seeing the rise of the condottiere in Italy's Wars.In this study, renowned medieval historians Kelly De Vries and Niccolò Capponi have uncovered new material from the battlefield itself, as well as using all the available sources, to breathe new life into this colourful and fascinating battle.

This monumental work covers all aspects of India's contribution to the Allied cause between 1939 and 1945. The narrative is packed with a huge amount of information regarding even the smallest fighting, logistical and medical units and sub-units, and yet it remains eminently readable throughout.The volume Campaigns in South-East Asia 1941-42 describes the expulsion of the British Commonwealth Forces from South-East Asia by the Japanese. In a way it is a story of military debacle suffered by the British. The narrative outlines the rapid withdrawal of the Indian, British and Australian forces from Malaya and Singapore. The British were compelled to surrender a vast land mass of Asia from the Netherlands East Indies to Burma to the Japanese.The region covered extends from Hong Kong to Malaya, including Borneo, Singapore and parts of Burma, and highlights the British and Dutch colonies. The strategic importance of the region to Japan and the Allies, the historical background of the conflict and the prevailing situation in China and Indochina provide the curtain raiser. The impact of terrain and climate on the operations, strengths of the opposing forces, strategies adopted by the two adversaries and the prevailing local political environment are all well covered.Though the Commonwealth Forces had numerical superiority, they were outmatched. This defeat greatly shattered the British and Commonwealth confidence and prestige in the region, which gave impetus to better planning in future operations.
