In his professional career Bernard Nalty was well known for his historical research and non-fiction publications on the military, particularly his writing on black Americans in the military. Along with Morris J. MacGregor, Jr. he edited the thirteen-volume Blacks in the United States Armed Forces and he wrote, and in 1986 published, Strength for the Fight: A History of Black Americans in the Military. Mr. Nalty believed the history of black Americans in the United States military was not adequately researched or shared with the general public, and his passion was to correct that oversight. Prior to retiring in 1994, Mr. Nalty was a senior historian in the Office of Air Force History and edited Winged Shield, Winged Sword: A History of the USAF. More

I arrived at the end of the Chinese offensive in April of 1951, during the beginning of our sweep to the north. My company was initially at Chunchon and Yanggu, near the eastern end of the Hwachon Reservoir. May and June were active months, as we were attacking to the north. When the peace talks started later that summer, things quieted down. Then we went back on the attack at a place called the Punch Bowl in the fall. More

To Get Where He Wanted He Had To Hit Rock Bottom, and Live Long Enough To Get Back Up. This is a straightforward, unrelenting, shamelessly romantic novel that's about a two year obsession.

To him life was full of promise . . . just the ones it didn't intend to keep. Jennifer Grayle: She was the campus golden girl, so rich, so pretty, that every boy wanted to take her out. Except Boone. He wanted to marry her. John Merchent: He was tall and blond with blue eyes and a cleft in his chin like Cary Grant's. He didn't have Boone's lively imagination, but he had something else: Jennifer.
