This book provides an insight into life under a dictatorship, specifically in East Germany. Russia is currently an example of a totalitarian country under Putin. He wants to extend his influence to the United States and Europe. People, be warned! You can only successfully confront such a dictator with strength.In March 1967, I visited my girlfriend again in communist East Germany. The first time, some years earlier, I interviewed the minister for Education and Youth, Margot Honecker.

Back in the Netherlands, I reported to the police and ended up with the BVD co...

The Aging of an Old Fart - An Autobiography

R R

Randal Lee Gritzner

There are many ways for a young boy to grow into a man. Randal Gritzner took his own unique path. His personality and character were influenced by many people. Many of those people offered good Christian influence, and some offered influences of a less positive nature. He entered the U.S. Navy with strong convictions that he would never drink alcoholic beverages, but he did not live up to those convictions. He became a pot-smoking, beer-drinking man very much the opposite of his intentions. Individuals do come to mind who offered such influence, but Randal made those decisions himself. Nobody else is to blame but Randal himself. Fortunately for him, he didn't get caught in some of his worst ...

A Kid During WWII Wartime

P P

Peter van Wermeskerken

My mother and I reminisced, at the beginning of this century, about my activities in the last nine months of the German occupation of the western Netherlands of World War II. It starts with the story of my sabotage of German army vehicles. That was in August 1944, I was 4 years old. My mother almost got a beating because of it, so I didn't do it again, despite the success. In the autumn, I stood in line for the soup kitchen. I'm not English, so I squeezed my way to the front between the long skirts. Later, I was allowed to go on a hunger tour, supposedly to get wood from the forest. The Germans wouldn't shoot a child for that. And I cursed a German who wanted to bother me. He didn't understa...

Double Agent, an Autobiography

P P

Peter van Wermeskerken

Yes!, I was a Double Agent. That is a "profession" you can't apply for. You just get into it. I went to visit my girlfriend in East Germany. The security service knew that, of course. We talked for four hours in a café. They had vodka with beer; I had coffee. I was "hired" immediately. I told the story to our security service, BVD, in the Netherlands via the police. Five days later, I was "hired" there too. I had to do everything the East German military intelligence service wanted and share everything with the BVD. How often I laughed with the men of that service! The East Germans thought they were taking excellent care of my safety during my assignments in Western Europe. But with their s...

Stagehand: A Backstage Pass to my Life Stories

David H Aretsky

After my girlfriend of eighteen years dumped me, I took a look back at my life to see what made it worth moving forward. Working as a stagehand for forty years—with musicians such as Prince, Mick Jagger, Tony Bennett, and Michael Jackson, along with actors like Michelle Rodriguez and Will Smith—provided many memorable stories, as did my travels around the world: scuba diving, trekking through jungles, and cycling up mountains. There's also the story of learning to be a better person and how to grow in my relationships. I never set out to write a book. I didn’t consider my life to be any different from anyone else’s. In the beginning. I was just keeping a journal and feeling...

Castiglione’s efforts were tremendously successful.It’s a fascinating story in itself, how Castiglione’s tumultuous life developed into a gay rights hero as he survived so many near-death experience...
