In a man's first person account, he remembers Thatcher’s effect on the life of his family when he was only twelve years old. He recalls detesting her for the fact that she did nothing to support the lives of the lower working class but made it worse. In his words, Thatcher: “didn’t give a shit”. Thatcher was the longest-serving British Prime Minister of the 20th century and is the only woman to have held the office. Thatcher died on the morning of 8 April 2013 at the age of 87 after suffering from a stroke.

Mickey’s first person account details events leading up to the Pearl Harbor attack and what caused the United States to join the war after months on the sidelines. Mickey, Pearl Harbor survivor, first decided to join the Navy while he was working at a Rubber Company in California of 1939. Although the draft specified that those twenty-one years or older sign up, Mickey signed up only a few months before his twenty-first birthday. His love for football led him to work on Battleship Pennsylvania and become a part of one of the best teams in the fleet. December 7, 1941 was not only the day for his fleet championship football game, but it was also the day Mickey was called into action.
