Stories in UniformA Look at the Heroics, Laughs, Sorrows, and Tragedies of Our Soldiers

Editors at Reader’s Digest

From boot camp to combat, a collection of Reader’s Digest’s unique, emotional, and wide-ranging coverage of military life.

Beginning in World War I and continuing through to the war in Iraq, readers will follow soldiers into the trenches, peer in on emergency surgery taking place in the depths of the ocean, watch heroes carry the bodies of fallen brethren, trail Eisenhower for the three days leading up to D-Day, and be inspired as men and women rise above and beyond normal human limits to preserve our rights and save their friends.

Stories include:

• A moving memorial to D-Day

• A tribute to one of the fi rst African-Americans to serve as a Naval Offi cer

• A pilot rescued after his F-16 is shot down

• A soldier returns to the front after losing his foot in action

• An American soldier takes a big risk to save a dying Afghan girl.

Stories in Uniform gives a complete perspective on the hell that is war, the love that grows from camara-derie, the pride from accomplishing the impossible, and the humor that springs from bureaucracy.

INSPIRATIONAL

The Insult DictionaryHistory’s Best Slights, Street Talk, and Slang

Julie Tibbott

The perfect book for language high hats and bug-eyed Bettys, this is the complete(ly hilarious) guide to waxing vintage.

Do you long for the days when a jerk was a “cad”? Want to tell that “swillbelly” to clean up his table manners and that grumbling “glump” to stop whining? Would you like a way of saying simpleton that’s not quite so simple—“ninnyhammer,” perhaps?

All this churlishness and more can be found in the pages of this fun reference book. With insults ranging from Roman times (lutum lenonium = fi lthy pimp) and Shakespearean snipes (I’m talking to you, you knotty-pated fool) to salty pirate-speak and Wild West zingers, you’re sure to fi nd an insult for everyone, be they a helminth (a parasite in ancient Greece) or a swinge-buckler (an Elizabethan braggart).

Chapters are organized chronologically by historical period—Ancient Attacks, Medieval Madness, Edgy Elizabethans, Victorian Venom, Jazz–Age Jibes, and Cold War Cuts—and include themed sidebars focusing on Pirate Put-Downs, Hobo Huffs, and Cowboy Curses, as well as samplers for words with many different sayings per period.

Fun, a little bit lewd, and incredibly informative this is a must-read for humor fans, history buffs, armchair etymologists, and the most sneaping of breedbates.

JULIE TIBBOTT is an editor of teen fi ction at a major publishing house. A writer and editor for more than a decade, she has had a long-standing interest in subcultures, history, and words. Julie makes her home on New York City’s Lower East Side. $14.99 paper-over-board
