Boomers Bastards And Boneheads

by Jim Lynch, Boomers Bastards And Boneheads Books available in Docs, PDF, EPUB, Mobi, Textbook, Kindle Format. Download Boomers Bastards And Boneheads book, Which of her three lovers will beautiful twenty-three year old Simone Muirchant chose? Will it be her wealthy blue-blooded fianc�? Could she choose the high school senior who is her passionate secret lover? Will she succumb to the earthy insensitivity of the mysterious third man in her love life? Or will she simply sustain all three lovers?The above encapsulation is the central anchoring plot dilemma for Boomers Bastards & Boneheads: The Wasted Generation, the first of four novels in a fictional quartet entitled The Generations Series. This first book is set on Long Island during the years of 1965 through 1980. The chapters of Boomers Bastards & Boneheads unfold during some of more intriguing events of the period including the Vietnam War; the Moon Landings; Chappaquiddick; Woodstock; Watergate and even the long lines at gas stations during the 1973 Oil Embargo.**********Collectively the four novels that comprise The Generations Series depict the sequential story of two Long Island families throughout multiple generations of intriguing characters. The Babcocks and the Johnsons share more than just a persistent hatred of one another. The ongoing plotline revolves around a carnal reality that there had been a blending of the families back in 1965. That was when the beautiful but enigmatic Simone Muirchant managed to become part of both families. The hatred and hostility between the Babcocks and the Johnsons leads to misogamy, mislaid blame, murder and mayhem. **********One early reader has described the milieu of the 4 volume epic as "Jay Gatsby versus Forrest Gump." Set on Long Island in suburban New York, the epic saga is illuminated by the evolution of thoughts, behaviors and mores in the United States from 1965 through 2016. The fictional all-male Catholic high school - Shenandoah - also plays an essential role in centering the progression of changes that take place for the principal characters over a fifty year period. The bitter hatred between the Babcocks and the Johnsons transcends the timeworn topics of War; Spirituality; Morality and Politics. It also utilizes a fifty year chronology to depict the development of Music; Baseball; Drug Abuse; Sexual Liberation; Political Evolution; Racial Unrest; Feminism and Information Technology across five decades of change in the United States and on Long Island. By the end of the fourth novel the reader will have relived a half century of Americana that may very well serve as a gateway to the exciting future ahead.**********

Young Trudeau

by Max Nemni, Young Trudeau Books available in Docs, PDF, EPUB, Mobi, Textbook, Kindle Format. Download Young Trudeau book, This book shines a light of devastating clarity on French-Canadian society in the 1930s and 1940s, when young elites were raised to be pro-fascist, and democratic and liberal were terms of criticism. The model leaders to be admired were good Catholic dictators like Mussolini, Salazar in Portugal, Franco in Spain, and especially Pétain, collaborator with the Nazis in Vichy France. There were even demonstrations against Jews who were demonstrating against what the Nazis were doing in Germany. Trudeau, far from being the rebel that other biographers have claimed, embraced this ideology. At his elite school, Brébeuf, he was a model student, the editor of the school magazine, and admired by the staff and his fellow students. But the fascist ideas and the people he admired – even when the war was going on, as late as 1944 – included extremists so terrible that at the war’s end they were shot. And then there’s his manifesto and his plan to stage a revolution against les Anglais. This is astonishing material – and it’s all demonstrably true – based on personal papers of Trudeau that the authors were allowed to access after his death.What they have found has astounded and distressed them, but they both agree that the truth must be published. Translated from the forthcoming French edition by William Johnson, this explosive book is sure to hit the headlines.

Why I Hate Canadians

by Will Ferguson, Why I Hate Canadians Books available in Docs, PDF, EPUB, Mobi, Textbook, Kindle Format. Download Why I Hate Canadians book, First published in 1997, this hilarious book launched satirist Will Ferguson's career. Challenging the notion that Canadians are "nice," the book asks, "Do we as Canadians deserve a country so great?" Tackling subjects from Canada's favorite inbred royals to the mighty beaver as national icon, from sex in a canoe to all-Canadian "superhero" Captain Canuck, Ferguson rampages across the cultural landscape. The book also provides a fast-paced, opinionated overview of telling moments in Canadian history, including its run-amok Mounties and "fun-loving days" of the country's (unacknowledged) slave trade.
