Le camp américain de la Braconne - Braconne Ordnance Depot (BROD) apporte sa pierre à l'édifice construit par des auteurs passionnés par l'Histoire locale depuis près de vingt ans. Chacun marche sur les traces des Américains stationnés en France de 1950 à 1967 dans la Communication Zone regroupant les forces militaires en soutien logistique aux soldats US occupant une zone de l'Allemagne vaincue de 1945. Chaque installation américaine possède des caractéristiques communes et des traits distinctifs selon sa destination opérationnelle ou logistique. Partout, l'American way of life s'instaure, à la grande surprise des Français, encore réduits à vivre avec les tickets de rationnement dans un habitat précaire. Francis Lachaise et Patrick Ladonski ont, durant trois ans, passé au crible les témoignages de ceux qui ont vécu cette période d'insouciance de l'American Dream aux côtés des GI's. Le camp de la Braconne en Charente s'étendait sur 730 hectares et abritait 250 bâtiments différents. La majorité d'entre eux ont été localisés et identifiés. Les photographies et documents originaux présentent la vie au quotidien des Américains, des gardes polonais et des employés français travaillant sur la base, soit quelque 2000 personnes. De nombreuses anecdotes dépeignent ces années, les témoins prenant la parole pour laisser leur mémoire faire enfin son travail. Cet ouvrage retrace la coopération de la France et des États-Unis au cours d'une histoire d'amitié et de tumultes, de la guerre d'Indépendance américaine au départ forcé des troupes US du sol français après la décision du Général de Gaulle, en passant par les deux conflits mondiaux du 20e siècle. Ces pages contribuent à mieux connaître cette épopée véritablement hors norme dans un monde divisé au lendemain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale.

"Mexican Bird sings from the heart. Its aches and love pangs punctuate the journey from Mexican life to queer desire, from quiet pain to vocal resistance, from the intimate world of the family nest to the unconstrained skies of freedom. A poet of deep reflection, Luis Lopez-Maldonado finds meaning in the most unexpected places, reminding us that each conflict-no matter how personal, no matter how public, no matter how distressing-has the potential for grace and insight, if we're brave enough to confront it." -Rigoberto González, author of To the Boy Who Was Night "Mexican Bird: Brown Wings Through White Clouds contextualizes the speaker's political identities in a country contaminated with violence. Its conversational tone invites you to understand, "The dead must wait to be judged / but here we do that for free to each other." But only if you can find them as they describe a land that disremembers and dismembers like vultures. Here, Luis takes from the collapsed home and rebuilds the puzzle to be heard because to not is a death. In each poem there is a longing desire for love, lust, and listening; these poems are lust rebellions amid griefs. They write "isn't it funny, / when you're gone / and dead, / I start listening?" Dear reader, listen to the wing flaps of these poems as they take flight." -David Campos, author of American Quasar

From bestselling author, Andrew Najberg, comes his first epic fantasy for young adults!When half of young Connor Brighton's shadow is stolen, he has three days to venture into the Shadowlands and get it back, or he will lose himself forever. Unfortunately, the Shadowlands is a treacherous place-a disintegrating world run on deceit and betrayal, populated by monsters more terrifying than anything Connor's imagination could conjure. It is a place of hunger and discomfort where even the sun is little more than a dying coal in the sky and ash falls like snow over petrified forests. However, even as his struggles grow more desperate, Connor also learns there is good in the Shadowlands. Friends who will help him, fathers desperate to save their sons, creatures who might be kinder than they look. As his quest takes him deeper into the darkest corners, will his courage hold, or will the weight of the truths he uncovers grind him down?"Equal parts dark portal fantasy, mystery, and adventure in the vein of Coraline, Tales of Earthsea, and Narnia. Najberg crafts a wonderful coming of age tale that explores the things we lose and gain with age, the burdens and responsibilities we must carry, where the Shadowlands is a metaphor for the murky navigations through adulthood and the lessons it holds: truths, lies, and the in-between. This book brings us on a journey of lessons and teachings through stories, of how to be resilient and remaining hopeful, knowing when to ask for help, and the lessons that we must learn alone. At its heart is a story of injustice, corruption, and the kind hearts that shine through it all." -Ai Jiang, Nebula, Locus, and Igynte Award finalist and author of LINGHUN and I AM AI"This book is an absolute delight, bringing back fond memories of reading CS Lewis and Michael Ende, but Najberg does it for the modern age. A YA Fantasy fit for any 2024 Must Read List!" - Cassandra Morgan, award-winning author of Dorothy Claes and the Blood of the Tsar¿¿"A magical, inventive tale about a boy, a strange world, and the lengths he'll go to reconnect with his stolen shadow. This one grabbed me on page one and never let go!" - Steve Stred, 2X Splatterpunk award nominated author of Mastodon and Churn the Soil.
