Die persönlichen, aufschlussreichen Erinnerungen einer der wichtigsten Aktivistinnen unserer Zeit Im Jahr 2010 veröffentlichte Chelsea Manning geheime Militärdokumente, die sie als Geheimdienstanalystin für die US-Armee im Irak auf der Speicherkarte ihrer Digitalkamera herausgeschmuggelt hatte. Die Armee klagte sie in zweiundzwanzig Punkten im Zusammenhang mit dem unerlaubten Besitz und der Verbreitung von geheimen Dokumenten an und verurteilte sie zu fünfunddreißig Jahren Militärgefängnis. Am Tag nach ihrer Verurteilung erklärte Manning ihre Geschlechtsidentität als Frau und begann die Transition. Im Jahr 2017 verkürzte Präsident Barack Obama ihre Haftstrafe, und Chelsea Manning wurde aus dem Gefängnis entlassen. In ihren Erinnerungen erzählt Manning von ihrem Einsatz für mehr institutionelle Transparenz und Rechenschaftspflichten der Regierung und von dem Kampf um ihre Rechte als Transfrau. Sie schildert ihre schwierige Kindheit, ihre Kämpfe als Heranwachsende, was sie dazu brachte, dem Militär beizutreten, und beschreibt den unbändigen Stolz, den sie auf ihre Arbeit hatte. Wir erfahren bisher unbekannte Details, wie und warum sie die Entscheidung traf, geheime Militärdokumente an WikiLeaks zu schicken, und welche Folgen dieses Handeln für sie hatte. Chelsea Mannings Memoiren zählen zu den eindrücklichsten Zeugnissen des digitalen Zeitalters.

You will be inspired and challenged to succeed beyond your dreams when you read this emotional, heart-warming story. Growing up with a single parent mother in poverty during the depression, Hobie sneaks into the Erie, Pennsylvania YMCA so frequently at age 8 that they ignore him.

His coach suggests he go to compete in a national diving meet at Yale University where he is befriended by all the great divers at the time from Ohio State University who teach him their techniques. He ends up enrolling at Ohio State and becomes an All-American all four years, and national champion. But his competitive career is interrupted by WW II and serves in the Army Air Corps. When he returns to Ohio State after the war, he continues to dive and also compete on the gymnastics team and becomes the head cheerleader for Ohio State. He ultimately becomes only the second collegiate diving coach ever hired at Indiana University, and takes a non-existent diving program to unequalled heights of success by challenging every one of his divers to excel beyond their dreams.
