A Cautionary Tale to Anyone Doing Business in China
In the early 1980s, with the encouragement and mentorship of Dr. Armand Hammer, founder and Chairman of Occidental Petroleum Company, Carole Sumner Krechman and her husband, Sheldon Krechman, were presented with the opportunity to expand their U.S. roller rinks business into China. They excitedly pursued the opportunity—two innocents abroad in an exotic and unknown land. They eventually abandoned all hope of building a chain of roller rinks but through a convoluted series of events, became involved in a large and complicated joint venture with the Chinese to build a five-star, modern office and hotel complex and conference center in downtown Beijing—the first of its kind in China. Juxtaposed against the ancient world of Beijing, it was a towering beacon of light signifying a China that was stepping into the twentieth century.
Little did they know their joint venture would ensnare them in a dangerous web that included the most ruthless of China’s security agencies, the FBI, the CIA and a cast of characters who seem straight out of a Hollywood spy thriller. Their story is personal and full of real people. The security and espionage apparatus of the People’s Republic of China has a human face. In fact, the multiple meanings of the word “face” make it a useful metaphor for describing the reality of the People’s Republic.

Terence Ang has written a wonderful book…. Paul Brandus Columnist for USA Today
A Rememberable Read! – “Emerging From the Dark left me a little speechless. This book is remarkably written with illustrations which brings you to a place of empathy. Each page takes you on a journey to a deeper look inside the life of Terence. Including stories of other stroke survivors, their struggles, and experiences.
When I first began to read this book I became very emotional and had to put it down. I went back and read a little more every day. It is written in such a way that it makes you deeply understand what it’s like to live with disabilities. Also the emotions, thoughts, and struggles which come along with coping.
I had the honor of receiving a copy of Terence’s first book, A Cry In The Dark. Which also reflects on Terence’s personal experiences after having a stroke. I recommend this book to anyone who has a friend, family member, or loved one. Who has suffered a stroke. This book is informative for caretakers of stroke survivors.

A Masterpiece
“Emerging From the Dark: Stroke is a beautifully illustrated compilation of stories about the inner feelings of stroke patients. With each story, you take a trip inside each person’s mind with deep and raw emotion.
I think this book is incredible. The stories are as unique as the individuals who wrote them. While reading you get a really good picture of their everyday lives. Depicting a spectrum of emotions from the beautiful and nitty gritty I know that this allows them to be seen. Other stroke patients will relate heavily to the book but more importantly, this book should be read by people who have not had one. Terence Ang has created a masterpiece that should long endure.- Bridget Ball Amazon, Goodreads & Bookbub Reviewer

There is help and there is hope. I encourage anyone who has had a stroke, or has a loved one who has, to read this wonderful book – Paul Brandus Columnist for USA Today and Dow Jones/MarketWatch, acclaimed author and an award-winning member of the White House press corps

Have you ever wondered what it is like to experience the chaos and devastation of war?
Lessons from Iraq is a deeply moving memoir that will give a raw glimpse into chaos of wars. This book will open your eyes to some of the heartbreaking moments in a human life. Through the eyes of Mike Kubista, witness the tragedy of conflict and gain a deeper understanding of the complex political and historical factors that contribute to ignite these events.
Iraq was a strange war in that so few members of the American population were actually affected by it. Soldiers went to war while kids back home played video games of the same battles men were fighting. Many Americans knew people who served, but it was a relative few who went back again and again while society rapidly moved ahead back home like nothing was happening. War creates gaps between those who experience it and those who don’t. Lessons from Iraq closes some of those gaps. Mike Kubista was a young Marine machine gunner sent in from the very beginning. His stories put you in place, let you walk along the chaos, and feel the world through his eyes.
Part of this book is also about giving people context. There are a few common stories told about Iraq and what happened there, but never from people who were actually there. Mike weaves in the history, politics, and decisions made that ultimately led to the destruction of so many lives even as Iraq was on the verge of electing its first non-sectarian government. This is the story about how it all fell apart. $1.99 on Kindle.

When her husband leaves her on her 40th birthday, only hours after radical surgery to cure her “incurable” disease, Kat Finnerty’s world is shattered.
But then something remarkable happens. She overcomes his betrayal in 12 hours. It’s almost as if her absurd, disaster-prone life has been arming her with the superpowers to master her disaster.
So begins Kat’s astonishing and inspiring true story. Spanning the globe from her hometown of Toronto to the rugged outback of Australia, Kat discovers from an early age that being gifted with nine lives isn’t enough to offset her suffering. She sets out on a high-stakes adventure to squeeze more meaning and purpose from her life, only to be cruelly struck down at 24 by a crippling disease.
Kat contemplates the unthinkable. Until fate intervenes in the form of a tattooed Maori Buddhist teacher, an unorthodox Canadian yoga guru and a Zen motorbike-riding spiritual renegade. They open her eyes to the truth about suffering.
And this changes everything.
Just like the pieces of a giant jigsaw puzzle, the lessons from Kat’s catastrophes slot into place to reveal the bigger picture. She transforms herself into a master of disaster and ultimately cures her “incurable” disease.
Infused with humour and the wisdom of Buddhist and Stoic philosophy, this life-changing memoir will move, inspire and empower you to never let a good disaster go to waste. $0.99 on Kindle.

Determined to Persist takes readers inside the White House, the Pentagon, and U.S. military headquarters in Hawaii and South Vietnam. Based on exclusive contemporaneous correspondence, recently declassified top-secret documents, interviews with participants, and their memoirs, this book traces the internal debates, tensions, and critical inflection points of the Vietnam War during an extraordinary six-year period.
The longest serving Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Earle G. Wheeler was the senior military advisor to Presidents Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon. In disgust with their administrations’ disastrous Vietnam War policies, Wheeler shredded his memoirs. He died three years later. In consequence, a gaping hole has existed in the historiography of the Vietnam War – until now.
Determined to Persist overturns long-held, inaccurate perceptions of civilian-military relations during the Vietnam Era and provides a fuller, more accurate representation of the Joint Chiefs of Staff’s role in the Vietnam War.
The prequel to this book, General & Mrs. Earle Wheeler, Their Rise to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Amid America’s Descent Into Vietnam, traces Wheeler’s exceptional, 46-year military career against the backdrop of growing U.S. involvement in Southeast Asia. $5.99 on Kindle.
