In the always-connected, always-online digital age and social media world, we tend to forget how life was before the ubiquity of laptops, tablets, mobile devices, smartwatches, and so on. The terms such as outsourcing, offshoring, nearshoring, and many more did not exist. The Indian IT industry was in its infancy. Aithal takes us on an exciting walk down memory lane as he weaves his narration to pen his experiences migrating from Mumbai to New York—a culture shock. As the title suggests, the story combines his experiences in settling down in America and the dawn of IT opportunities. Both, adjusting to the social life in the US—where he faces the challenges of day-to-day life–and the professional life. Peppered with humorous anecdotes in his early years of settling down in the US, the story makes an easy read with revealing details that many second-generation Indian-Americans are unaware of. $7.95 on Kindle.

General & Mrs. Earle Wheeler: Their Rise to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Amid America’s Descent into Vietnam (Military Leadership in Action)
General & Mrs. Earle Wheeler takes readers inside the White House, the Pentagon, and the household of the most senior officer of the U.S. Armed Forces.
Since the position of Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was established in 1949, only 20 officers have attained this pinnacle of the U.S. military profession. Each of their stories is remarkable, yet the biography of perhaps the most distinguished member of this small, elite fraternity has only now been written.
General Earle G. Wheeler, U.S. Army, became the senior military advisor to President Lyndon Johnson in 1964 and continued in this capacity under President Richard Nixon. In disgust with their administrations’ disastrous Vietnam War policies, Wheeler shredded his memoirs. He died three years later. In consequence, the biography of one of the most important figures of the Vietnam Era has remained inaccessible — until now.
The companion volume to this book, Determined to Persist: General Earle Wheeler, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Military’s Foiled Pursuit of Victory in Vietnam, explores Wheeler’s contributions to national security policymaking and civilian-military relations during an extraordinary six-year period marked by America’s growing involvement in the Vietnam War, its zenith, and the beginning of U.S. disengagement.
General & Mrs. Earle Wheeler complements that volume by tracing Wheeler’s exceptional, 46-year military career against the backdrop of growing American involvement in Southeast Asia. Based on exclusive, contemporaneous correspondence, official records, interviews, and memoirs, it also highlights the unheralded, yet vital roles played by military spouses and reveals the challenges of military family life. $1.99 on Kindle.
