Considers how Joseph Conrad's works engage with silence

From Sarria to Santiago: A 10-Day Camino With Family and Friends follows John as he embarks on an unforgettable 115-kilometer pilgrimage across northern Spain with two families including three teenagers. He quickly learns that everyone walks the Camino in their own way. While planning their epic journey, he must accommodate the parents' concerns such as: "We have private bathrooms, right?", "You know I can't walk more than 12km a day," and "Can someone else carry my stuff?"Then he must manage the teenager issues like: "Why is there a fly in my room?", "Is that a blister?", "Why do I have to wake up?", "What rain?" "Can we have pizza again?"John invites his readers to experience his joys and challenges, successes and insights, as he walks the Camino and shares stories told by his fellow pilgrims about what inspired them to make their own incredible journeys to Santiago de Compostela. It is a trip none of them will soon forget.

"Accompany Johnny, a young single adult male and his mates, living in a north of England industrial town as they barn-storm their way through situations which impact upon their lives without regard for those that they encounter in the late 1960's. Read about their escapades as they display a cocky attitude to everyone and behave in an illegal, violent and rude manner which cumulates in betrayal and near tragedy. This book will strike a chord with those who are familiar and may have participated in the heady, rebellious and exciting times of that unforgettable period which were the sixties!"

Will current strategic planning give the United States the sort of military capabilities that are needed to counter threats likely to occur in the future?
