Vigars (31 results)

Paperback. Condition: Good. There has never been a Canadian quite like Terry Fox and there's never been a story quite like The Marathon of Hope. A twenty-two-year-old cancer survivor and amputee, Terry set out from St. John's, Newfoundland in April 1980, aiming to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research. His first months on the road in Atlantic Canada and Quebec were not only physically taxing--he ran the equivalent of a marathon a day--but frustrating as Canadians were slow to recognize and support his endeavor. That all changed when he met a young man named Bill Vigars, who on behalf of the Canadian Cancer Society led a campaign to ensure that every person in Canada knew the story of this outstanding young man. Vigars was by Fox's side through all the highs and lows until the tragic end of his journey in Thunder Bay. A recurrence of his cancer cut short Terry's dream and, soon, his life. Now, for the first time, Vigars tells the inside story of the Marathon of Hope--the logistical nightmares, boardroom battles, and moments of pure magic--while giving us a fresh, insightful portrait of one of the greatest Canadians who ever lived.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This genuinely may be the best book available on the market for junior Army officers. Instead of being written by a senior / retired officer, removed from the junior officer cohort by many years, I wrote it as a Captain who was recently a part of this group of officers. I reflected on all the things that I had to learn the hard way or weren't taught during BOLC / CCC. This book would've been incredibly helpful to have when I initially commissioned, and it shortens the learning curve for what junior leaders need to learn or know prior to being in the seat - whether that's as a Platoon Leader or as BN Staff. The book includes how-to guides; checklists of doctrine & products to collect; and insights from Company Command, each of the BN S-Shops, Some Special Staff, and Senior NCOs for what junior officers should know before taking a position at their 1st or 2nd unit. This book covers: - Advice to Lieutenants- Equipment Maintenance- Army Property- Evaluations- Advice to Junior Captains- Career Planning- Command & Staff Insights and Resources- Other Helpful Resources- And other helpful first-hand knowledge from my time as a LT / Jr CPTThe intent of this book is to offer a resource to bring junior officers up and to better develop the leaders that future U.S. Army Soldiers deserve.
