Henderson-James, Nancy,; art, Muriel W Henderson, design Susan Bright
At Home Abroad: An American Girl in Africa
Plain View Press Austin TX 2009 2009. Soft cover. Fine. 241 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm ; ISBN 9780911051674 0911051678 OCLC 430078581 LCCN 2009920240 LC DT1388.H46 A3 2009 Dewey 967.303092 ; SIGNED presentation by author on title page ; color photographic stiff paper wrappers ; At Home Abroad is a stunning autobiography of Nancy Henderson-James's youth in Africa. Heart-wrenching is her uprooting at age 15 when the war for independence began from Angola whose natural world people customs languages she so loved. Nancy bravely and articulately recounts a true saga of personal loss and bereavement. But out of the crucible of conflicts between herself and her parents the Africa she loved and the America from which she felt estranged comes crystalline strength confidence humor and self-knowledge. Her journey to wholeness with its exquisite analysis and detail enlightens us so that we too see our own lives with new understanding and compassion and recognize better our place in the 21st century as citizens of the world. --Judy Hogan Founding Editor of Carolina Wren Press 1976-91. ; In this intimate and detailed autobiography Nancy Henderson-James throws open the door on a room in the history of religion that has been locked and double-bolted: the life of a child of Christian missionaries in the 1950's in Africa. It is not another story of the children of a crazy preacher or an abusive father. Rather it is a story of the loneliness of a daughter of liberal Protestant missionaries who do almost everything right professionally but are absent in crucial ways to the lives of their children. "I was dancing between complex alliances of race nationality gender and religion." Readers will wince at a wastebasket made from an elephant's foot at a child going to a male teacher to tell a secret that belongs to a parent at images of spacious homes and multiple servants in a village of poor dwellings - ". . . my life in white colonial Angola . . .in the midst of a system fast coming apart." But At Home Abroad is also the story of a young woman finding her own way to survival to freedom and to her own spiritual path. -- Pat Schneider author: Writing Alone and With Others Oxford University Press 2003 ; Nancy Henderson-James has written a tremendous book. Her writing skillfully weaves the threads of a beautiful exotic setting the discoveries and tensions of adolescence the powerful shaping attachment to a very particular place and the void of absence. I highly recommend her memoir to anyone exploring the mysterious terrain of childhood the challenge of straddling vastly different worlds or the way loss adds depth as well as pain to a thoughtful life. -- Mary Edwards Wertsch author of Military Brats: Legacies of Childhood Inside the Fortress ; Henderson-James has written a wonderfully constructed memoir filled with honesty and tenderness describing an intriguing childhood life compelling her to straddle different cultures. And through its elegant prose resonant images and informative commentaries this gem of a book effectively presents a thoroughly engrossing and moving account of experiences that most of us would otherwise know very little about.-- Norm Goldman ; FINE <br/> <br/> Plain View Press, Austin, TX, 2009 paperback

Into the valley of the bug -- Ward A-1 Room 101 -- "Hooray for Colonel Spurling" -- The countdown -- Zero hour zero -- So may he rest -- Epilogue : The limited assembly ; The Last Days of Patton is the story of General George S. Patton's final battle -- the Allied victory over Germany in the spring of 1945 and the ensuing nine months of his life with particular attention given to his fatal automobile accident in December. Ladislas Fargo chronicles the postwar adventures and misfortunes that ultimately deprived Patton of the glory and victory he had earned in his career as military strategist leader and hero. - Jacket flap. ; "It would be as hard to give up all thought of being a soldier as it would be to stop breathing" wrote George S. Patton in October 1945; "The great tragedy of my life was that I survived the last battle." But Patton would not see the year out: in December he would die as a result of injuries sustained in an automobile accident in Germany. His unexpected death sent shock waves through the American and Russian commands. It seemed plausible that America's greatest general may have been a victim of foul play. In the seven months following the German surrender Patton had openly and provocatively criticized the Soviet Union and appeared to have transformed from a staunch anti-Nazi to a Nazi sympathizer. The Last Days of Patton by Ladislas Farago a follow-up to his bestselling Patton: Ordeal and Triumph attempts to reconstruct the last months of Patton's life in order to determine if the general did indeed try to provoke a war with the Soviet Union and whether he failed to sufficiently de-Nazify the area of Germany under his jurisdiction. Farago also investigates the possibility of a conspiracy to murder Patton and reveals the role other prominent men including Eisenhower Montgomery Marshall and MacArthur had in censuring and ultimately removing Patton from active service. The Last Days of Patton. is the story of the general's final battle--a professional soldier caught up in the changing politics of the emerging Cold War and new reality of the atomic age." ; FINE/FINE <br/> <br/> McGraw-Hill, New York, ©1981 hardcover
