How does a daughter convey the lifelong influence of an exceptional father, taken far too soon? How does she distil the lessons learned through joy and heartbreak, from the campground to the ocean's depths? This is my love letter to Dad. Peter Clark, R105695 served in the Royal Australian Navy for over 25 years, predominantly at the bottom of the ocean on board submarines. Peter was many things: a submariner, brother, father, husband, friend and mate. His incredible life, and his death at the young age of 59 years, inspired his daughter to reflect on their connection, which extends beyond his passing. This is a story of resilience, friendship, laughter and heartache; a daughter's insight into the life her father led, and the impact he had and continues to have on her life. This is a story of the power of love between a girl and her dad.

Its absence makes headlines when organisations and leaders fall from grace, breaking the covenant they hold with clients and staff.

But how do we establish cultures of trust when individual interpretations and expectations can be so vastly different? This book shows how. It is a practical, evidence-based, call to action for positive organisational change and higher performance. Here you will learn about: - Overcoming the challenges for trust - Culture as a team sport - Obtaining freedom to deliver what matters - Leaving a legacy for sustainable success If you're seeking a realistic and adaptable approach for leading with trust, then this book is for you.

The Bleiburg Tragedy is named after the town of Bleiburg, Austria, the location of a post-World War Two surrender of Croatian refugees to the Communist Yugoslav Army. This exclusively Croatian surrender on 15 May 1945 was distinct from other surrenders in post-war Austria. The surrender negotiations are the main focus of this book. Although the Yugoslav officer guaranteed to treat the unarmed Croatian soldiers and civilians according to international law this promise was broken. Inside Yugoslavia over half a million unarmed Croats were sent on Death Marches and massacred.  British, American, Croatian and Yugoslav sources are compared and contrasted to determine how and why this happened. For example, the Communist Bulgarian Army's refusal to allow the main columns of retreating Croats to cross the Drava River is exposed. The Bulgarians re-routed some of the columns towards Poljana, where they were attacked by Yugoslavs and eventually surrounded at Bleiburg. In addition, the Bulgarians also handed many of the other retreating Croatian columns to the Yugoslavs who sent them back towards Maribor on Death Marches. Tito's betrayal of his western Allies is revealed in the context of a bloody Bolshevik revolution - his consolidation of power included the strong Yugoslav occupation of southern Carinthia, Austria, and the liquidation of his Croatian opposition, and other smaller repatriated anti-Communist groups, inside Yugoslavia. Top ranking Serbian cadres in Communist Yugoslavia acknowledged the crimes against humanity. For example, Djilas remarked that Croats had to die so that Yugoslavia could live; and Rankovic admitted that 586,000 Enemies of the People were liquidated. This genocide did not escape the attention of world leaders at the time. Truman remarked that Tito killed more than 400,000 of his opponents to establish himself as dictator, and according to Churchill Tito's tactics marked the beginning of the Iron Curtain.  Since the end of the Cold War and violent collapse of Yugoslavia, Tito's post-World War Two genocide is slowly being re-exposed due to the discovery of hundreds of post-World War Two mass graves. No one has been held accountable for these crimes against humanity. That is why the Srebrenica genocide happened, and why it was such a shock to the world. In 2014 in the Daily Mail Online's list of the world's most murderous regimes, Tito is listed to have slaughtered 570,000 of his political opponents. Once again the ethnic identity of his victims is not mentioned in the mainstream media. The legacy of the Bleiburg Tragedy for the small nation of Croatian people has been catastrophic. The memorial at Bleiburg, a place of an annual gathering, has become symbolic for the genocide against Croatian people. Although Croatia has been independent since 1992 false Yugoslav propaganda persists. History is not written by the victims. Grieving Croatian people are still being vilified. Justice and closure remain elusive.   About the Author:  Canadian born Jean Lunt Marinovic has published over 100 articles about the history and collapse of Yugoslavia in the Australian-Croatian media since the 1980s. The Croatian Viewpoint website features many of those past articles. For her Bachelor of Arts Jean studied Communist politics with a focus on the Yugoslav brand of socialism, and included a unit of Croatian language. Involvement in the Australian-Croatian community has included family and cultural activities. Jean also represented Croatian parents on the School Council of Saturday School of Modern Languages, and was co-founder and Coordinator of the Australian-Croatian World Congress's Croatian Exhibit at the Victorian Immigration Museum.
