This funny and engaging primer on how to be a Texan will help you get a better handle on the unique Texas history; language; culture; customs; and do’s and don’ts―whether you’re movin’ there or just passin’ through. Jay B Sauceda is a photographer and lifelong Texan. He moved from La Porte to Austin to attend the University of Texas; and “stayed for the ample supply of patio bars and beer specials.†His clients have included BMW; Microsoft; IBM; the San Antonio Spurs; the Times of London; Texas AM; Texas Monthly; and the University of Texas. He believes in “firm handshakes; Willie Nelson; and telling compelling stories.â€

Fighting;sports; humour and romance. This book has it all.By CamelotWhen Ivan Mehosky told me his book was an easy read he was not kidding. Had I not been taking been taking his course I would have read this book in a day. This book has been researched by Ivan through interviews with his father; members of his father's unit and Dick Winters; 506 Easy Company. You find his father to be normal and not super-human. This guy prepares very well for war but makes simple mistakes (not that he makes many) that tells you he's human. You find out about his wife and their points of view from when the first meet. You learn about the bumblebee. Ivan's maps help you understand the Normandy drop; Bastogne that are discussed in this book. You learn a bit more about the soldier in his unit.If you have the chance to take the course Ivan and his brother Stan conduct you'll come away with more of an appreciation of their father and the soldiers of the 101st. Buy this book and take the class.4 of 5 people found the following review helpful. What greater loveBy Kindle CustomerA son has brought to light a father's deserved place in US military history! This book is a must read for anyone interested in the role of the Airborne in World War II or an interestingly detailed look at a successful military career from beginning training as an enlisted man to the rank of Colonel. The combination story lines of honor; country; bravery and love of family do not interfere with each other but instead compliment and come together in a book difficult to put down until the last page.
