Title: Honor, Courage, Commitment, and NavAdmin 190/21

What do honor, courage, and commitment mean to you and how do you think they shaped the person you are today?Honor, Courage, and Commitment is a gripping memoir that tells the story of one man's journey of personal courage and conviction. As the only active duty member at his military station to refuse the mandatory vaccine mandate, he faced intense pressure from his superiors and peers. But he stood firm in his beliefs, even when it meant risking his career and reputation.Through vivid and honest storytelling, the author takes us on a journey of self-discovery and self-realization. He describes the internal struggle he faced as he weighed his own beliefs against the expectations of his colleagues and the military hierarchy. He also shares the emotional toll that the experience took on his personal life, as he faced criticism and ostracism from those around him.But “Honor, Courage, and Commitment” is more than just a personal story. It's also a powerful and timely exploration of the complex issues surrounding vaccine mandates and individual rights. The author delves into the scientific, ethical, and legal arguments for and against vaccine mandates, and offers a nuanced perspective on this contentious issue.Ultimately, “Honor, Courage, and Commitment” is a call to action for anyone who cares about individual liberty and public health. It's a reminder that we all have a responsibility to stand up for our beliefs, even in the face of opposition. And it's a testament to the power of personal conviction and the human spirit.

The “jaw-dropping” true story of Robert Parkin Peters—the liar, bigamist, and fraudulent priest who tricked some of the brightest minds of his generation (Kirkus Reviews).“A reader’s delight.” —Washington Post“Flawlessly written.” —Wall Street JournalOne day in November 1958, the celebrated historian Hugh Trevor–Roper received a curious letter. It was an appeal for help, written on behalf of a student at Magdalen College, with the unlikely claim that he was being persecuted by the Bishop of Oxford. Curiosity piqued, Trevor–Roper agreed to a meeting. It was to be his first encounter with Robert Parkin Peters: plagiarist, bigamist, fraudulent priest, and imposter extraordinaire.The Professor and the Parson is a witty and charming portrait of eccentricity, extraordinary narcissism, and a life as wild and unlikely as any in fiction. Motivated not by money but by a desire for prestige, Peters lied, stole, and cheated his way to academic positions and religious posts from Cambridge to New York. Frequently deported, and even more frequently discovered, he left a trail of destruction including seven marriages (three of which were bigamous) and an investigation by the FBI.
