Bill Sholin’s “the Sacrificial Lambs” (Who Fought Like Lions) (Hardcover)
Accurate, detailed, precise documentation of what really happened aboard the Wren. Written by one of her sailors. Too bad history is so vague about war related issues. What are we trying to HIDE?

Product Description
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A sacrificial lamb is a metaphorical reference to a person or animal sacrificed (killed or discounted in some way) for the common good. The term is derived from the traditions of Abrahamic religion where a lamb is a highly valued possession, but is offered to God as a sacrifice to obtain the more highly valued favour of God.In politics, a sacrificial lamb candidate is a candidate chosen to contest an election despite the fact that he or she has little chance of victory. The political party thus appoints the person as a sort of “sacrifice” to the stronger opponent.

Product Description
Sacrificial Lamb-a Legal Thriller is likely the most fast paced novel to be found anywhere. Two murders, two trials, conspiracies, twists and turns, a struggling defense lawyer and his lawyer son committed to saving their clients make this a fast page-turner, a novel you won’t want to put down. Vince DiMarco and his son defend two murders. One defendant is Vince’s best friend and doctor, Billy Andrews, M.D. The second, Sterling Pierce, is the senior vice president of a local bank involved in international internet banking. The book begins with the trial of a young boy charged with statutory rape. Vince and Mike get him acquitted, much to the rage of the girl’s father, Sterling Pierce. The boy is murdered, and Pierce is charged. The second murder takes place when Billy Andrews reveals to his wife he’s having an affair. She takes an overdose of prescription drugs, and Andrews is charged with illegally providing her with narcotics leading to her death-murder. Real trial proceedings, and a look behind the scenes of action packed criminal defense make this novel a must. Aging trial lawyer Vince Di Marco would like to sit back and let his son run the firm, but his friends won’t let him. They keep getting involved in things like divorce, bank fraud, and murder. How can Vince refuse someone he once was an altar boy with? So turn off your Law and Order reruns. Nino Lama’s second book, Sacrificial Lambs is full of surprises, and will keep you entertained and guessing until the final pages. Stephen Poleskie, author of The Balloonist — The Story of T. S. C. Lowe, Inventor, Scientist, Magician, and Father of the U. S. Air Force Nino Lama writes with a hard-boiled, ironic voice that you would expect from a fedora-wearing gat-packing hotshot of the 1930’s — only his hero Vince DiMarco isn’t that at all: lawyer, family man, lonely hearted lover man, Vince lives in the Finger Lakes region of New York and has a distinctly 21st Century sense of humor.

Product Description
Nancy Freedman, author of JOSHUA SON OF NONE, THE IMMORTALS, SAPPHO, THE SEVENTH STONE, PRIMA DONNA, and (with Benedict Freedman) the American classic MRS MIKE, brings a new perspective to historical fiction. SACRIFICIAL LAMB is a double biography of a brother and sister, Charles and Mary Lamb, one of whom murdered their mother. The headlines are copied from the newspapers of the time, all letters included are authentic. The story of this strange couple as related here is factual. Mary’s role had always been of a big sister, who protected Charles and his brilliant future as a writer. But it is one thing to be caring and loving, another to stand convicted of murder and be condemned to an asylum. Ultimately, she is released to her brother’s care. What makes this a riveting situation is that he may actually have been the murderer. Mary herself believes this, but then she is hopelessly mad. SACRIFICIAL LAMB is the story of two brilliant artists, cut off from a normal life by a single day of madness.

A Review of this book from Amazon Website:
The Sacrificial Lambs (Hardcover) This is a book about a specific WW2 engagement with the Japanese Navy. It will be of special interest to Navy men who were there. I was there and found it to be accurate and very interesting to read. The author has done his homework and presents this battle in detail that I have never seen before.

A Review From Amazon:
The Sacrificial Lamb (Paperback)
The Sacrificial Lamb is definitely not just one more story about the holocaust. It’s a compelling novel about man’s inhumanity to man; of people caught up in events that comprised the most evil times of the 20th Century.
Nathan Ludwig and Stephon Baumeister first met as young boys, for a time immune to the prejudices of the adult world that was pre-war Germany. Anti-semitism forced an end to their friendship but it could not destroy the bond that had formed between them.
After his father’s death, Stephon, raised by parents loyal to National Socialism, strikes a deal in which the Reich pays for his medical education, after which he is expected to work for and support the Reich. Assigned to Buchenwald, to get along, he performs experiments on the prisoners.
Nathan, after the death of his parents, is raised by relatives. He attends medical school where he meets his wife, and becomes a doctor. But he is forced from his practice by rising anti-Jewish sentiment. Sensing danger, he decides to take his family and flee Germany.
This compelling novel pulls the reader in and will not let go, as Nathan and his family are captured. While they are sent elsewhere, he is sent to Buchenwald where he once again meets Stephon.
Time passes. Nathan, with the help of prayer and God’s grace, finds the courage to minister to both the spiritual and physical needs of fellow prisoners. He uses his past friendship with Stephon to acquire additional medical supplies with which to ease their pain.
Here we have a riveting story of helpless people caught up in those evil days. Doepke makes their suffering seem real as they are forced to put their lives on hold and endure tremendous suffering. We meet individuals who, because of their horrible experiences, become more than they ever thought they could be.
Living at Buchenwald, Nathan develops a closer relationship with Jesus as his personal savior and friend, and through him, a close relationship with God. Ignoring the danger of discovery, Nathan, in the tradition of Bonhoeffer and Kolbe, comforts many by praying with them, offering a belief in God and hope for the future to those open enough to listen. Stephon, watching, is not immune, and he begins to question his rigid loyalty to Hilter’s goals.
As with the biblical David who answers God’s call and strides purposefully toward the giant Goliath, eager to do God’s work, in Nathan, we have another example of how God uses insignificant humans to accomplish His ends, and we see that adversity and suffering do, indeed, serve a useful purpose. It’s been said that more poeple have come to God because of suffering and adversity than in any other way, and Jack Doepke’s tale amply demonstates this truth.
I also liked the way Doepke developed his characters. These are people about whom one comes to care deeply. You’ll marvel that Nathan is not caught and dragged to the ovens; that Stephon is not exposed and shot; and hope and pray, along with Nathan that his wife and sons will be found alive after the war.
A drama of excitement and moral seriousness, this book will cause you to stop and ponder the evil of those days in Europe, when civilization seemed about to perish at the hands of immoral men. I heartily recommend it

Product Description
Selflessness and courage comprise those who join the military and go off to foreign lands to defend our country. Leaving behind family, friends and spouses, these men and women face their enemy and mortality to recognize a much grander concept: freedom.
The Korean War has often been overshadowed by the power of World War I and II and the revolutionary years of Vietnam. Yet the men who were in Korea and fought on behalf of the United States sacrificed just as much as their fellow men in previous and later wars. In the autobiographical work “Sacrificial Lambs,” author Raymond Colton tells his story of joining the military at the age of eighteen with grand notions of Army life only to realize the illusions of what constitutes a hero.
Telling and honest, Colton’s “Sacrificial Lambs” allows readers to experience his pain in serving a country that, upon returning home, treated him differently as a disabled veteran. Colton gives voice to all who fought in the Korean War and portrays the “real life” experiences of a Korean War soldier and hero.
