CRAIG RUSSELL! SCOTT HAMPTON! Author by: Robert W. ProctorLanguage: enPublisher by: Xlibris CorporationFormat Available: PDF, ePub, MobiTotal Read: 54Total Download: 947File Size: 41,7 MbDescription: Although some of Bob's stories are distinctly lighthearted, much of his writing is infused with issues of violence and the darker nature of mankind as he experienced them in war and civil strife in many parts of the world. And there is an underlying, basically unspoken message in his writings. Bob considers it a universal truth that one must examine every contour, every edge, every excrescence of the horrors of darkness and conflict. Only then, he believes, will it be possible to truly appreciate enlightenment and compassion.
Book Reviews 5 Stars - Perceptive tales of the quixotic third world, no matter the setting. True to real life, the gods ordained few blissful endings in this compendium of stories centered on the quixotic third world. Some of the stories indeed have no ending at all, but leave the reader in agonized suspense.
Acrophobes will shiver at the prospect of the narrator stranded on a high rock in 'The Top' as night falls in the desert and the cold air settles in. Claustrophobes will wince at the underwater access to 'The Cave' beneath a limestone karst in Laos. The description of the Commandant at Kisangani in what was then Zaire is typical of officious persons of power who abound abroad. The Commandant was 'subject to no laws except the `law' possessed by automatic weapons casually wielded by personal guards His French, though passable, was really a mlange of a Franco-Belge patois and Lingala, the prevailing language of the Congolese military throughout Zaire. His reputation of cruelty and venality was no secret.'
Many of the themes are dark. Perhaps the darkest is the frightening raid by the Katmandu moral police on the Bibi Ghar. While the police brutally beat a libertine, his friend and co-conspirator exercises the classic Chinese choice 'Of all the 36 alternatives, running away is the best.'

Many of the themes are dark. Perhaps the darkest is the frightening raid by the Katmandu moral police on the Bibi Ghar. While the police brutally beat a libertine, his friend and co-conspirator exercises the classic Chinese choice 'Of all the 36 alternatives, running away is the best.' Barnes 5 Stars - 'I prefer Robert Proctor to James Bond' Robert Proctor is a diplomat.
He has no license to kill. He toodles around on a Honda motor bike. But whether he is on a rescue in Zaire or awaiting a terrorist explosion at an ill concieved beauty contest, Robert Proctor displays an uncommon bravery. When he contemplates a letter from a woman whose heart he has broken, the understanding he displays is profound. Often his writing is funny as it is moving.The best thing about his writing is it touches on the human condition; the ability to be both senselessly cruel and bravely heroic. Robert Proctor is no James bond; he fumbles and falls.
And I love his stories.Sirena Gibson 'Scarlet' (New Mexico) 4 Stars - Tales of service and adventure It is not easy to be a diplomat, but the lives of those who are in the position of interpreting American life to the country to which they are assigned deserve the attention of those they represent. Often they are on their own, and often they are called on to do things that go far beyond their duty. Sometimes these involve things of which they personally and professionally disapprove. Bob Proctor's book is more than a personal reflection. It is philosophically interesting and can help shape our understanding of diplomacy, and what we can expect of it. It is a call to personal and national integrity.
![Epub Epub](/uploads/1/2/5/3/125359815/772361195.jpg)
The book is well written, intellectually honest. It probably should be read by those who want to grow intellectually.
Bob reminds us time and again that he was trained as an English teacher, and I must confess that even with my educational background, I had to look up some words. Author by: Jonathan KnightLanguage: enPublisher by: Clerisy PressFormat Available: PDF, ePub, MobiTotal Read: 73Total Download: 369File Size: 42,8 MbDescription: Summer of Shadows is an intertwining narrative that tells the story of the 1954 Cleveland Indians (which would etch itself in history as one of the greatest baseball teams in MLB history) and the infamous murder of the wife of Dr. Sam Sheppard in their home along the shore of Lake Erie-which held both the city and the nation spellbound that summer. Both of these generation-defining stories take place in the final days of the 'Best Location in the Nation,' the nickname for the Cleveland of the 1950s, which truly was one of the great and most influential cities in America.
The Sheppard case would influence the television series The Fugitive a decade later and give Cleveland's reputation a black eye following the shoddy and unethical behavior of the city's police department and news media, which led to the conviction of an innocent man. Meanwhile, the 1954 Indians would post the greatest season in American League history and dethrone the five-time-champion New York Yankees in a dramatic pennant race, culminating in a September doubleheader before 86,000 fans at Cleveland Stadium. The powerful Indians would then be swept by Willie Mays and the New York Giants in the World Series. These two parallel tragedies harbinger an onslaught of adversity that dragged Cleveland from its lofty standing as a leading American city to one with a bleak-even comic-reputation. Summer of Shadows is essentially a postcard from that gilded age, when the city enjoyed its own golden October, not knowing that decades of dismal, bitter winter lay ahead.
