Wootton matured as a painter during the frantic years of World War II, when he travelled the world as an official war artist to the Royal Air Force. In 1944 he joined the Allied forces advancing in Europe, through newly-liberated France and into Belgium, painting the events and aircraft around him. Some months later he was moved to South-East Asia, where he experienced the final stages of the war with Japan. There he painted many works of life in the tropics - a world of sandstorms, intense heat and monsoon rains.

Matterhorn: A Novel Of The Vietnam War An incredible publishing story - written over the course of thirty years by a highly decorated Vietnam veteran, a New York Times best seller for sixteen weeks, a National Indie Next and a USA Today best seller - Matterhorn has been hailed as a "brilliant account of war" (New York Times Book Review). Matterhorn is an epic war novel in the tradition of Norman Mailer's The Naked and the Dead and James Jones's The Thin Red Line. It is the timeless story of a young Marine lieutenant, Waino Mellas, and his comrades in Bravo Company, who are dropped into the mountain jungle of Vietnam as boys and forced to fight their way into manhood. Standing in their way are not merely the North Vietnamese but also monsoon rain and mud, leeches and tigers, disease and malnutrition. Almost as daunting, it turns out, are the obstacles they discover between each other: racial tension, competing ambitions, and duplicitous superior officers. But when the company finds itself surrounded and outnumbered by a massive enemy regiment, the Marines are thrust into the raw and all-consuming terror of combat. The experience will change them forever. Matterhorn is a visceral and spellbinding novel about what it is like to be a young man at war. It is an unforgettable novel that transforms the tragedy of Vietnam into a powerful and universal story of courage, camaraderie, and sacrifice: a parable not only of the war in Vietnam but of all war, and a testament to the redemptive power of literature.

Thirteen Lessons that Saved Thirteen Lives This is the thrilling account of the dramatic Thai cave rescue which saved the lives of thirteen people, from the diver who led the search. Read About The Daring Mission Documented In The Award-Winning Film, The Rescue. In this first-hand account, John Volanthen reveals how he pushed the limits of human endurance in the life-or-death mission to rescue the Thai youth soccer team trapped in the flooded cave. ‘A profound and thrilling read.’ Colin Farrell ‘Riveting...a powerful story written by a hero who lived it.’ Ron Howard, Oscar-winning director of Apollo 13 The world held its breath in 2018 when the Wild Boars soccer team and their coach went missing deep underground in the Tham Luang cave complex in northern Thailand. They had been stranded by sudden, continuous monsoon rains while exploring the caves after practice. With torrential rain pouring down and the waters still on the rise, an army of rescue teams and equipment was deployed, including Thai Navy SEALs, a US Air Force special tactics squadron, police sniffer dogs, drones and robots. But it was British cave diver John Volanthen and his partner, Rick Stanton, who were first to reach the stranded team and who played a key role in their ultimate rescue. As John’s light flickered from one boy to another, he called out, ‘How many of you?’ ‘Thirteen,’a boy answered. After 10 days trapped in desperate darkness, the boys and their coach were all alive. Each chapter of Thirteen Lessons that Saved Thirteen Lives tells one part of the edge-of-your-seat mission from Tham Luang but also imparts a life lesson, gleaned from John’s previous rescues and record-breaking cave dives, that can be applied to everyday obstacles and challenges. In this story of breathtaking courage and nerves of steel, John reveals how responding positively to the statement, ‘But I can’t…’ by stating, ‘I can,’ led to one of the most incredible rescues of all time. He hopes that his story will inspire the superhero in you. Meanwhile, he is always on standby for the next rescue. Prikaži više

U dobrom stanju Writer and author Harold Stephens takes the road less traveled in exotic foreign lands. He is one person who has lived his dream of exploring the world`s most remote corners -- in search of adventure for adventure`s sake, experiencing life on his own terms, and writing about it. This wonderful writer shares his exciting experiences with his readers in more than two-dozen travel and adventure books, novels, biographies and in other media as television and video scripts. This includes an historical 10-hour TV script on King Narai of Siam. A dedicated writer of thousands of travel articles as well as an explorer and adventurer, Harold Stephens traveled deep into Bhutan, motored across Tibet, and followed along the Great Wall of China in a Jeep, and rafted down the Amazon. He trained with a Sir Edmund Hillary team in New Zealand and climbed the Matterhorn in Switzerland and Popocatapetl in Mexico. In the mid-sixties, Stephens motored around the world by Jeep for a record-breaking 42,252 miles, through monsoon rains and across blazing deserts, over nearly impassable roads through hostile countries with hostile and sometimes uncivilized people, facing untold dangers, disease and hunger. Along the way, he met some very remarkable people and found romance and love in the strangest places. In this book we can find the description of a group of interesting characters, who have in common that they found their own realization, in the 50s and 60s, in places far from their native country, mostly in Southeast Asia. We can find the story of Jim Thompson, who sold Thai silk all over the world. One of the characters is a Russian who in the 1950s ran a hotel in Kathmandu with his Swedish wife: these two characters were inserted, fictionalized, in The mountain is young by Han Suyin. Then there are: a false-Moroccan belly dancer (actually from California), with whom the author had a love affair; a Bali painter; an American sumo wrestler, etc. The stories are really intriguing and there is a set of photos. There are many references to the lost worlds of Conrad, Kipling, Somerset Maugham: the author realizes that the world he describes is dissolving. There also exists a new edition of this book, accompanied by a part where the author tells what happened next to these characters, I would like to read it. Reprinted in 2003 with the title `The Strange Disappearance of Jim Thompson`:
