Books with author Christie Anderson

In this brilliantly illustrated book, Christopher Anderson examines the uniforms and insignia worn by the United States Marine Corps in World War II. Marines were particularly distinguished, earning a superb reputation for daring amphibious assaults, and at Guadalcanal, Bougainville, Tarawa, Iwo Jima and Okinawa the USMC took tremendous punishment but ultimately triumphed. A total of six divisions of Marines fought in World War II, sustaining 87,000 casualties, and this book throws light on their role. The photographs presented in this book show the Marines as they actually appeared in World War II-uniform and equipment evolved and varied according to conditions-and form a unique resource. Christopher J. Anderson is the Senior Editor of MHQ: The Quarterly Journal of Military History, and is the author of The U.S. Army Today, Patton's Third Army, Hell on Wheels, and The Fall of Fortress Europe in the G.I. Series.

When Adriane Haynes, a God-fearing teenager looking for love, fell for the wrong man, it was the beginning of a nightmare for her. Brought up in a strict Christian family, she had been denied any show of love and affection from her father who was often away. When he did return, he showered her with gifts to make up for his absence, but the truth was that was never what Adriane wanted. So, when Adriane meets Julian, an older and more worldly man, she not only falls for him but also falls into the trap of allowing him to buy her affection too. As their relationship deteriorates into emotional and physical abuse, Julian lies and cheats on Adriane, controlling her body and mind until he becomes bored and eventually discards her. Alone and devastated by her loss, Adriane embarks on a journey to allow Jesus back into her heart and finally find the love she so desperately wants. But to find true love she must first find a way to love herself again. And to find a man who is worthy of her, she must accept The Lord as her personal Savior. But can He find Adriane a God-fearing husband who will love Him more than he loves her?
