War is carried out by young people trained for the task. It occurs at the edge, or just over the edge, of what passes for civilized behavior. During the Vietnam War, the US military employed heavily-armed high-speed gunboats to intercept and disrupt enemy travel on the rivers and bays of South Vietnam.In this variant from standard Vietnam War works, Michael Hebert takes the reader along for a ride in this engaging memoir of his year in Vietnam. This light yet quick-witted nautical adventure entertains readers with tales of romance, daring exploits, and abject fear. It is full of mayhem peppered with humorous undertones. The remote Vung Ro Bay, while an idyllic setting, is not without peril. It is a constant target for snipers, mortar barrages, and full-out perimeter assaults. Hebert's boat becomes a casualty to a rocket propelled grenade. Their base is wiped out by a super typhoon and they are forced to spend two days in the South China Sea with mountainous swells that threaten to sink the small 32-foot craft. From start to finish, 'Ever Vigilant' is an introduction to a young man's journey and coming of age in a war zone. While primarily based on his first-hand experience, he deftly weaves sufficient representation to incorporate the difficult life circumstances of the Vietnamese people and the Viet Cong. The motivation for why the enemy fights is a product of the life-hardships they bear. 'Ever Vigilant' offers a lively, compulsive read with a surprising finale.

I lost my son, Mathias, in a tragic accident on a fateful night in November 2021. He was struck while walking with his dog on the highway, completely disoriented due to a benzo he had purchased online.This book is my account of everything that happened in the following two years, from the heart-wrenching news on that fateful night to the moment I had to bury my child and the realization that I would never truly be able to enjoy life again.By means of this book, I hope to, along with Mathias, warn others about the danger of 'research chemicals' that are readily available in online stores. It illustrates the devastating impact of these seemingly harmless pills, often used for relaxation or sleep.I found solace by writing this story. I honour my son by telling his story in its entirety, as raw and honest as we experienced it. He was not perfect, but he is also a victim.

«¿Je n¿en reviens pas moi-même de ce qui s¿est passé et de ce don que les livres m¿ont fait de me porter sans faiblir, de prendre soin de moi et de me guérir en brisant l¿enfermement dans lequel je vivais. Ils ont ma reconnaissance éternelle.¿»«¿Le Journal d¿Anne Frank, Le Silence de la mer de Vercors, Souvenirs pieux de Marguerite Yourcenar, Une Année à la campagne de Sue Hubbell, Le Comte de Monte-Cristo d¿Alexandre Dumas¿  Nous avons tous des livres-cultes, des livres-phares, des livres de chevet auxquels nous revenons régulièrement. Dans Ma vie était un fusil chargé, Marie Gillet présente un nouveau genre de livre, le «¿livre-chevalier¿». Le chevalier sans peur et sans reproche des romans d¿aventures lutte contre l¿injustice, vient au secours des plus faibles et porte haut les valeurs de l¿humanité. Le livre-chevalier agit de la même façon¿: il sauve celui qui le lit.La narratrice raconte comment grâce à cinq «¿livres-chevaliers¿», elle a pu sortir de l¿emprise dans laquelle elle a longtemps vécu après avoir été élevée par un père violent. Après des décennies de lutte, elle a été délivrée de l¿anéantissement dans lequel elle sombrait.  L¿ensemble du livre est plus qüun hommage à la littérature, c¿est la démonstration que chaque livre est vivant et de toute éternité.

1866 wird Rudolf Sprenger in Mecklenburg als Soldat wegen schwerer Erkrankung entlassen. Man rät ihm, die kurze ihm verbleibende Lebenszeit in einem wärmeren Land zu verbringen. Seine Reise führt ihn zunächst nach Bordeaux, später nach Spanien. Der gelernte Lithograph findet Freunde, versucht sich als Unternehmer und wird schließlich Konsul des Deutschen Reichs, mit weiteren Stationen in Portugal und der Schweiz, wo er 1933 90-jährig stirbt. Gegen Ende seines unerwartet langen Lebens schreibt er »zur eigenen Erheiterung« Erinnerungen auf, wobei er auch dramatischen und tragischen Ereignissen humorige Aspekte abgewinnt. Die Erinnerungen des Konsuls Sprenger vermitteln aus einer sehr persönlichen Perspektive ein farbiges Bild der Periode von der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts bis in die Jahre nach dem ersten Weltkrieg.
