Love Of An Unknown Soldier: Found In A Dug-Out [Illustrated Edition]
by AnonymousIncludes the First World War Illustrations Pack - 73 battle plans and diagrams and 198 photos'I think of you, as I shall think of you to the end, if the end comes. I do not want you less. I want you more perhaps, only not so selfishly. I realize that death does not finish all things. Love lives on. There are other worlds--there must be so many other worlds--in which I shall surely meet you if I miss you in this one. That I, so poor and human and puny, should be capable of this largeness of spirit, gives me confidence that God's scheme for us must be greater than we have guessed. He cannot be smaller than the souls He has created. You may not need me in this existence. We may have met too late to be much to each other. But I cannot think love is wasted.'The Love of an Unknown Soldier collects the intimate letters written by an anonymous World War I officer in Paris to his American love. Found by a young British soldier at the end of the war, the documents had been wedged in the wall of an abandoned gun dug-out, secreted away, and never mailed by the original author. There was no indication of the name or unit of the writer, presumed dead, nor did he mention the name of the girl he loved so dearly. Since tracing the letters' owner proved impossible, the young officer sent them to the publisher John Lane in an attempt to bring the letters to the attention of the American woman for whom the letters were written. The lady was never found, however, and the romantic soldier remains a mystery today.First published in 1916, this touching correspondence provides a clear depiction of the emotional realities and devastation of war.'- Print ed.

Love Rock Revolution: K Records and the Rise of Independent Music
by Mark BaumgartenPunk isn't a sound--it's an idea! In 1982, K Records released its first cassette and put its own spin on punk's defiant manifesto: You don't need anyone's permission to make music. Thirty years later, the label continues to operate in the underground while rightfully claiming a role as one of the most transformative engines of modern independent music. In its history, K Records has fostered some of independent music's greatest artists, including Beat Happening, Built to Spill, Beck, Modest Mouse, and the Gossip. It has also galvanized the international pop underground, helped create the grunge scene that took over pop culture, and provided a launching pad for the riot grrrl movement that changed the role of women in music forever. Love Rock Revolutiontells the story of how it all happened, recounting the early journeys of K Records founder Calvin Johnson from the punk mecca of London to the hardcore clubs of Washington, D. C. , in the late-'70s, the creation of K Records in the '80s, the label's role in revolutionizing independent music in the '90s, and its struggle to survive that revolution with its integrity intact.

Love Song to the Plains
by Mari SandozLove Song to the Plains is a lyric salute to the earth and sky and people who made the history of the Great Plains by the region's incomparable historian, Mari Sandoz. It is a story of men and women of many hues—courageous, violent, indomitable, foolish—their legends, failures, and achievements: of explorers and fur trappers and missionaries; of soldiers and army posts and Indian fighting; of California-bound emigrants who stopped off to become settlers; of cattlemen and bad men, boomers and land speculators, and their feuds and rivalries. Above all, this is a portrait of the true Plainsman, the man or woman who can stand to have the horizon far off and every day, every year, a gamble.
Love Spells and Lost Treasure: Service Magic in England from the Later Middle Ages to the Early Modern Era
by Tabitha StanmoreMagic is ubiquitous across the world and throughout history. Yet if witchcraft is acknowledged as a persistent presence in the medieval and early modern eras, practical magic by contrast – performed to a useful end for payment, and actually more common than malign spellcasting – has been overlooked. Exploring many hundred instances of daily magical usage, and setting these alongside a range of imaginative and didactic literatures, Tabitha Stanmore demonstrates the entrenched nature of 'service' magic in premodern English society. This, she shows, was a type of spellcraft for needs that nothing else could address: one well established by the time of the infamous witch trials. The book explores perceptions of magical practitioners by clients and neighbours, and the way such magic was utilised by everyone: from lowliest labourer to highest lord. Stanmore reveals that – even if technically illicit – magic was for most people an accepted, even welcome, aspect of everyday life.

Love Tangle
by Karla HockerCharming, romantic, and painted with gorgeous Regency detail, Karla Hocker&’s romances will delight readers from the very first page. Weary of playing the game of love, the sixth Earl of Fenchmore had a rather jaundiced view of the marriage-minded maidens who surrounded him. They all were simpering, manipulative featherbrains and he'd have nothing todo with them—or their ambitious mothers. So jaded was the arrogant lord that the forthright intelligence of Miss Deanna St. Cloud seemed nothing less than a miracle. But he was not about to surrender his hard-kept independence simply because her lovely grey eyes shone with wit and her riotous red curls spoke of inner passion and fire.
Love Them to Death: At War with the Devil at Jonestown
by Timothy Stoen"Love Them to Death" is a memoir of my experiences as the attorney, enemy, and postmortem target of James Warren Jones who, on November 18, 1978 in Jonestown, Guyana, unleashed—in the name of "love"—terror and death. It tells how this ordinary man, Jim Jones, having captured the souls of kind and decent people, got them to assassinate a US congressman and, incredibly, got them—by the hundreds—to kill themselves and their children. "The mass suicides and murders in Jonestown, Guyana," said pollster George Gallup, "was the most widely followed event of 1978." By then Jim Jones had become a "Molotov cocktail." The container was Jones's absolute power. The flammable liquid was Jones's malignant narcissism. The wick was Jones's genius for mind control. In the end Jim Jones was nothing but evil. "The CIA would have had to acknowledge," said Stanford psychology professor Philip Zimbardo, "that Jones succeeded where their MK-Ultra program failed in the ultimate control of the human mind." On January 1, 1970, I joined a utopian movement called Peoples Temple, in order to pursue "Biblical socialism" (Acts 2). I became the pro bono lawyer for Jones for 7 years. Jim Jones eventually became what the "Washington Post" called a "West Coast Power," with a remarkable gift for wining over the most sophisticated people in politics. On November 18, 1977, I testified in court and went to war against Jones. By then, he had moved to Jonestown. I turned on Jones because I'd learned he was denigrating to a five-year-old child, John Victor Stoen then in Jonestown, his mother, Grace. During that one-year war for John Victor, I made two trips to the then “wired” country of Guyana, and in California I braced, every time the doorbell rang, for a shot to the chest. Finally, on that November 18th, the journey took a petrifying turn. Jim Jones killed 907 of his people by cyanide, and orchestrated the deaths, by gunfire at the nearby airstrip, of US congressman Leo Ryan and four others. Among those he took out by the poison was six-year-old John Victor Stoen. Structurally, this book traces the “development” of Jim Jones, as I experienced it from 1967 through 1979, through fourteen stages. On the day he died, Jim Jones exhorted his followers to "see that Stoen does not get by with this infamy." I was accused--falsely, I might add--of manipulating the 1975 San Francisco mayoral election, won by George Moscone over John Barbagelata, and then arranging to become special voter fraud prosecutor to cover up my crime. On that same day Jones made a prophecy: "We win when we go down. Tim Stoen has nobody else to hate... Then he'll destroy himself." It took nine years to undermine that curse. I have three reasons for writing this book. The first is to encourage healthy suspicion of authoritarian power. I want to show how leaders are corrupted by absolute power, and how they use charisma and demagogic oratory to acquire that power. The second reason is to encourage realistic approaches to fighting evil. I want to give evidence for psychiatrist Scott Peck’s position that evil people can be dealt with only by “raw power." My third reason is to give hope to people who, like me, have made huge mistakes in their lives. Recovery is possible. After all of my unbelievable mistakes, it is a miracle that I should now find myself alive, sane, and vital. It is truly due to something outside my control.
