Based on the author's diaries, From Addis to the Aosta Valley is
the account of Keith Ford's service in the Second World War from
1940-1945. As a gunner, he was deployed 'up north' to East Africa
and experienced his first taste of action with the 1st South
African Division during the invasion of Italian Somaliland;
thereafter he was involved in the Abyssinian campaign and was with
the victorious Allies when Addis Ababa was liberated. Then came
North Africa and the dark days of the Desert campaign as a Gun
Position Officer's Assistant on 25-pounders with the 1st South
African Brigade: from Taieb el Essem, the defensive box south of
Sidi Rezegh, to Bir el Gubi, Bardia, Tobruk and Gazala, and to the
annihilation of his battery by German panzers at Agheila. Retrained
as a Bofors anti-aircraft gunner, he was with the Eighth Army at El
Alamein. On posting to Italy, his Light Anti-Aircraft Unit 1 became
D Company Witwatersrand De la Rey Battalion and dug in on the 1944
Winter Line. He saw action during the assault and capture of
Caprara, the advance to the river Po and finally, St Bernard's Pass
in the Aosta valley. This is the story of an ordinary soldier, but
one who has a keen eye for detail for the countryside and people
around him. He brings a sense of immediacy and pathos to his
writing through his relationships with his comrades and the
civilians he encounters, particularly with the Italian women for
whom he retains a special place in his heart.
After writing Sure Signs: Stories Behind the Historical Markers of
Central New York, Howard Ford wrote Some Call it Treason, a novel
about a young English couple and their friend who, together,
visited the American colonies and joined the rebels just before the
Revolution. The second book in the series, In All Cases Whatsoever,
released in 2012, reflects the unwavering arrogance of the English
government, an attitude largely responsible for the war. Those who
fought the Revolution, whether soldier or spy, were not only brave,
but cunning and resourceful, and worthy of our attention for their
fortitude. A Just Cause is the third and final book in this
exciting historical fiction trilogy. Ford is retired from the
financial services industry. He and his wife, Ann, live in upstate
New York.
Sure Signs: A History of Central New York as Told Through Its
Historical Markers delves into fascinating and unexpected cogent
details of persons and events students didn't learn in school -
from the Iroquois, military history, and settlement through 19th
century developments.
With the emergence of popular culture phenomena, such as reality
television, blogging, and social networking sites, it is important
to examine the representation of Black women and the potential
implications of those images, messages, and roles. Black Women and
Popular Culture: The Conversation Continues provides such a
comprehensive analysis. Using an array of theoretical frameworks
and methodologies, this anthology features cutting edge research
from several scholars interested in the relationship among media,
society, perceptions, and Black women. The uniqueness of this book
is that it serves as a compilation of hot topics such as ABC s
Scandal, Beyonce s Visual Album, and Oprah s Instagram page. Other
themes explored are rooted in reality television, film, and hip
hop, as well as issues of gender politics, domestic violence, and
colorism. The discussion also extends to the presentation and
inclusion of Black women in advertising, print, and digital media."
Imagine meeting a charming young woman at a dance; you fall in
love, marry, and sail with her to America. At the same time you
save your best friend from being captured as a deserter from the
British army. Mix in literaly stumbling on a gold ingot while fly
fishing and smuggling it to New York where you join the rebels.
Independence from England has just been declared and the British
fleet is in New York Harbor. Your country and your life are in
jeopardy. This is the setting for In All Cases Whatsoever. Mr.
Ford's plot of battles and unlikely spies dovetails with history,
and the book's final event, which occurred in the Mohawk Valley, is
so bizarre, one would believe it to be fiction. Chief Honeoye plays
an important part. But readers will enjoy sorting it out for
themselves.

On 28 March 2001, the United States Marine Corps Warfighting
Laboratory's embedded "think tank" the Center for Emerging Threats
and Opportunities, announced its intentions for developing a
follow-on volume of the Small Wars Manual. This Small Wars Volume
II intends to serve as a reference publication despite that the
original manual was authoritative doctrine and that current
Military Operations Other Than War guidance is either in a "Concept
in Development" or "Awaiting Development" status. Thus this thesis
answers: Does the Small Wars Manual series present a relevant
baseline for the United States Marine Corps (USMC) to further
develop its future MOOTW doctrine? The following supporting
questions require examination: (1) Why did the original SWM erode
from serving as USMC MOOTW authoritative doctrine to that of
general reference and historical material? (2) What does the SWM
offer Twenty-first Century Marine Corps MOOTW doctrine? (3) What
does the SWM Volume II intend to offer Twenty-first Century Marine
Corps MOOTW doctrine? The thesis concludes, among other things,
that indeed the SWM series deserves significant consideration for
serving as Navy and Marine Corps authoritative MOOTW doctrine with
the Small Wars Manual retaining its Marine Corps Reference
Publication (MCRP) designation and its follow-on volume serving as
a Navy and Marine Corps authoritative doctrinal.
Jamie Claveraque, a young man from Herefordshire, celebrated the
return from America of his brother who was wounded at Bunker Hill.
Within a month, he stumbled on a fortune while fishing, broke off a
tired romance, met his future wife, saved his best friend from
capture as an army deserter, and accepted an invitation from his
uncle to tour the American Colonies. A loyal and enlightened
Englishman, his adventures in America provided first-hand reasons
for his decision to take the American side--some call it treason.
