Bloody April: Slaughter in the Skies Over Arras, 1917 (Cassell Military Paperbacks)
As the Allies embarked upon the Battle of Arras, they desperately needed accurate aerial reconnaissance photographs. But by this point the Royal Flying Club were flying obsolete planes. The new German Albatros scouts massively outclassed them in every respect: speed, armament, ability to withstand punishment and manoeuverability. Many of the RFC's pilots were straight out of flying school - as they took to the air they were sitting targets for the experienced German aces. Over the course of 'Bloody April' the RFC suffered casualties of over a third. The average life expectancy of a new subaltern on the front line dropped to just eleven days. And yet they carried on flying, day after day, in the knowledge that, in the eyes of their commanders at least, their own lives meant nothing compared to the photographs they brought back, which could save tens of thousands of soldiers on the ground. In this book Peter Hart tells the story of the air war over Arras, using the voices of the men who were actually there.

Popular culture used to reflect the values of America. No longer. Now it is a voracious beast of materialism, celebrity and excess that shapes those values to meet its own greedy needs. Every day your children are bombarded with sexually explicit music, violent movies and video games, shock radio, Internet chat rooms …the list goes on and on. You know this onslaught hurts your kids, and you want to do something to protect them. The reality is that your children’s defense against popular culture starts inside your homeâ€"with you!
In
Your Children Are Under Attack
, psychologist and national parenting expert Dr. Jim Taylor exposes how and why today’s popular culture is destroying your children’s values. Popular culture takes the most despicable valuesâ€"avarice, selfishness, gluttony, intolerance, deceit, and many othersâ€"and makes them admirable, all to sell more products to unsuspecting children.
Dr. Taylor also describes how you can fight back and win this war for your kids.
Your Children Are Under Attack
shows you how, by focusing on six core values that popular culture works hardest to destroy:
* Respect that is earned, not entitled * Responsibility for oneself rather than blaming others * Success that isn’t linked to wealth or fame * Happiness that can’t be bought * Family that strengthens America’s values * Compassion rather than indifference
Your Children Are Under Attack
helps you identify and reconnect with your values, and make those values the guiding forces in your children’s lives. Dr. Taylor shows how your own highest values can help your family resist popular culture’s assault and provides you with a reliable road map to lead your children to a solid future as successful, happy, and contributing adults.
This powerful book shows you how to instill these six values (and many others) in your children so they become their own. By making these values a focus in your home, you can ally yourself with your children to create a united front against popular culture’s siege.
Dr. Taylor gives you the tools to do this in ways that are clear, practical and grounded in the real world of 21st-century parenting. And they’re as effective as they are surprising:
* Feel unconditional love for your children, but don’t always express unconditional love * Don’t be your children’s friend * Your children need to fail to succeed * Happiness is experienced, not pursued * And many more
In the battle for your children’s future,
Your Children Are Under Attack
gives you the power to protect your children and ensure that they grow up to be positive, strong, safe, and caring people in a world that has never been more dangerous.
