FLYBOYS:
A True Story of Courage

by James Bradley © 2004

Flyboys is the true story of young American airmen who were shot down over Chichi Jima. Eight of these young men were captured by Japanese troops and taken prisoner. Another was rescued by an American submarine and went on to become president. The reality of what happened to the eight prisoners has remained a secret for almost 60 years. After the war, the American and Japanese governments conspired to cover up the shocking truth. Not even the families of the airmen were informed what had happened to their sons. It has remained a mystery—until now. Critics called James Bradley's last book "the best book on battle ever written." Flyboys is even better: more ambitious, more powerful, and more moving. On the island of Chichi Jima those young men would face the ultimate test. Their story—a tale of courage and daring, of war and of death, of men and of hope—will make you proud, and it will break your heart.

FLYBOYS Excerpt... by James Bradley
The e-mail was from Iris Chang, author of the groundbreaking bestseller "The Rape of Nanking." Iris and I had developed a professional relationship after the publication of my first book, "Flags of Our Fathers." In her e-mail, Iris suggested I contact a man named Bill Doran in Iowa. She said Bill had some "interesting" information.

TOWARD MANHOOD... A book in progress by Larry Pesavento
A Journey to the Wilderness of the Soul
Author and therapist Larry Pesavento of CHRISTOS Men's Center invites you to join in the process of critiquing this book prior to it's publication. MENSIGHT will publish a chapter each month and we would like for you to submit suggestions and discuss your opinions on our Men's Issues Forum.
From chapter 2...  The problem of achieving manhood in any culture always leads to the problem of pain. The healthy initiatory journey of manhood starts with the conscious choice to face the emotional pain in our lives, the inner pain that comes with finding one's own unique mission. The archetypal experience of initiation gives a man the motivation to face that pain, not bury it, once he understands that mission.

DADS, DON'T FIX YOUR KIDS... monthly column by Mark Brandenburg, M.A
Fathers and Sons
As a personal coach for men and the publisher of a newsletter, I’m sometimes blessed with personal stories from readers that touch my heart. This story sent in from a father helped me to remember why I’m doing what I do. I’d like to share it with you:
“As a father of two teens, I've enjoyed your insight on fatherhood.  I was raised in a loving family environment, but just as you indicated, my father was the primary breadwinner and the  "backbone" of the family, not an emotional type.  As a child, I never saw him cry or appear weak, nor did he ever utter the words "I love you".  It was just not in his vocabulary, though I never doubted his love for any of us.

JEFF'S LIFE... monthly column by Jeff Stimpson
Raising Toast
She (Toast) eats peas and spaghetti, and claws into plastic bags of barley in the pantry. When you come out of the bathroom, she's always waiting by the door; she likes to watch the water twirl down the bowl, from which she then drinks. The other night she hopped into a bath with the boys, then leaped back out and stalked away, shaking her hind legs as if it had all been someone else's fault.

THE NEW INTIMACY... monthly column by Judith Sherven, Ph.D. and James Sniechowski, Ph.D.
The Soul of Love
As a married couple of sixteen years we still have regular, long and intimate conversations, scheduled or spontaneous, during which we listen not just to ourselves and each other but to what is alive between us. We explore and witness that which make us different from each other, the particularities that makes us each who we really are, and marvel at how two distinct points of view co-create a third, the unity that is our
relationship.
