Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Irons was graduating first in his class at Texas A&M University, but though he was a brilliant student his real love at the college was football. His graduating placement meant less to him in the face of his disappointment at not being good enough to go on to play football for the Dallas Cowboys, but he was left with what was, to him, a lesser alternative: go to medical school and join his father's practice as an orthopedic surgeon. That was before a strange incident in the mountains of Colorado changed his physical make-up and abilities. When his friend, Scot Morgan of the Cowboys, saw him run, he immediately arranged a tryout. David ended up with his original dream, playing for the Cowboys and becoming the MVP of the National Football League in his first and only year. Things changed again when he rescued the wife of Joseph Ordway, a prominent industrialist, from kidnappers who had hoped to gain some of his large wealth for themselves. This led to David"s meeting with Joseph himself, who happened to be the owner of Ordway Enterprises, the world's largest armament manufacturer. Ordway, knowing what he did of David's abilities, persuaded his close friend, Admiral Bonner of the National Security Agency to recruit David and make him an undercover agent to lead the fight against global terrorism. David's first mission would prove to have not only national interests but personal ones at stake; he was to rescue his new bride, Carrie, who had been abducted during their honeymoon in Puerto Vallarta. The culprit? The internationally sought-after terrorist and drug kingpin, Ramon Estebon. David desperately trailed Estebon through the jungles of Columbia, but his path was bereft of a happy ending. He found his beloved wife dying from a drug overdose forced on her by the cartel. This senseless murder sent David into a rage, placing within him an ever-burning hatred directed at Estebon and men like him. David's passion drives him to seek out and destroy terrorists who plot against America, its resources, and most importantly its people. His love for his wife joins his love for his country in his campaign for conservative ideals and against growing socialist trends in government as he does everything possible to prevent others from suffering the fate of his wife and others like her that have fallen to America's enemies. He carries out covert operations across the globe; Columbia, Turkey, Syria, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and the U. S. David is determined to make it so there is no place where the enemies of Democracy are safe from his staunch defense of his country.

Download or read book Hoodoo Brown written by Glen Enloe and published by America Star Books. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an effort to shine light on a dim corner of our Old West heritage, Hoodoo Brown: the Baddest Cowboy of Them All, pieces together the fragments of the colorful and mysterious life and times of Hyman Graham Neill, better known as Hoodoo Brown. In his day, Hoodoo was as infamous as Billy the Kid, Jesse James or the Dalton Gang, but for some strange reason his fame and that of his murderous Dodge City Gang has faded. While their reign of terror was short, they have sadly both been relegated to the status of a sometimes remembered footnote to history. Only the emergence of a video game in recent years has brought them back to life. Hoodoo Brown is the true story of a man who possibly could have gone on to much better and greater things, but instead succumbed to his own dark and deadly muses.

Download or read book An Innocent Bystander written by Julie Salamon and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2019-06-11 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive story of one American family at the center of a single, shocking act of international terrorism that "manages to capture the essence of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict" (Dan Ephron). On October 3, 1985, Leon Klinghoffer, a disabled Jewish New Yorker, and his wife boarded the Achille Lauro to celebrate their 36th wedding anniversary with a Mediterranean cruise. Four days later, four Palestinian fedayeen hijacked the Italian luxury liner and took the passengers and crew hostage. Leon Klinghoffer was shot in the head, his body and wheelchair thrown overboard. His murder became a flashpoint in the intractable struggle between Israelis and Arabs and gave Americans a horrifying preview of what it means when terrorism hits home. In this richly reported book, drawing on multiple perspectives, Julie Salamon dispels the mythology that has grown around that shattering moment. What transpired on the Achille Lauro left the Klinghoffer family in the grip of irredeemable sorrow, while precipitating tragic reverberations for the wives and sons of Abu al-Abbas, the Palestinian mastermind behind the hijacking, and the family of Alex Odeh, a Palestinian-American murdered in Los Angeles in a brutal act of retaliation. Through intimate interviews with almost all living participants, including one of the hijackers, Julie Salamon brings alive the moment-by-moment saga of the hijacking and the ensuing U.S.-led international manhunt; the diplomatic wrangling between the United States, Egypt, Italy, and Israel; the long agonizing search for justice; and the inside story of the controversial opera about the Klinghoffer tragedy that provoked a culture war. An Innocent Bystander is a masterful work of journalism that moves between the personal and the global with the pace of a geopolitical thriller and the depth of a psychological drama. Throughout lies the tension wrought by terrorism and its repercussions today.
Download or read book Capital s Terrorists written by Chad E. Pearson and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2022-10-05 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, employers and powerful individuals deployed a variety of tactics to control ordinary people as they sought to secure power in and out of workplaces. In the face of worker resistance, employers and their allies collaborated to use a variety of extralegal repressive techniques, including whippings, kidnappings, drive-out campaigns, incarcerations, arsons, hangings, and shootings, as well as less overtly illegal tactics such as shutting down meetings, barring speakers from lecturing through blacklists, and book burning. This book draws together the groups engaged in this kind of violence, reimagining the original Ku Klux Klan, various Law and Order Leagues, Stockgrowers' organizations, and Citizens' Alliances as employers' associations driven by unambiguous economic and managerial interests. Though usually discussed separately, all of these groups used similar language to tar their lower-class challengers—former slaves, rustlers, homesteaders of modest means, populists, political radicals, and striking workers—as menacing villains and deployed comparable tactics to suppress them. And perhaps most notably, spokespersons for these respective organizations justified their actions by insisting that they were committed to upholding "law and order." Ultimately, this book suggests that the birth of law and order politics as we know it can be found in nineteenth-century campaigns of organized terror against an assortment of ordinary people across racial lines conducted by Klansmen, lawmen, vigilantes, and union busters.

Download or read book How Globalization Spurs Terrorism written by Fathali M. Moghaddam and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2008-08-30 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores modern Islamic terrorism in the context of globalization and cultural evolution. 21st century terrorism is different and new, first because it relies heavily on electronic communication systems and other aspects of modern technologies, and second, because it is in large part a product of fractured globalization, with its associated threats to the collective identity of Muslims. Part one of this work contrasts globalization as an ideal with globalization as it is actually taking place, with its enormous contradictions and threats. Moghaddam, a longtime and highly respected terrorism and conflict researcher, argues that globalization is resulting in serious threats to the basic psychological needs of some, particularly in connection with collective identity. Part two explores how globalization has brought sudden contact between different groups with no previous history of large-scale contact, resulting in a rapid decline in diversity. Terrorism is one of the dysfunctional defense mechanisms of people in such conditions, facing external threats. Part three describes long-term solutions, focusing particularly on the role of women and the nature of the family in traditional Islamic societies. Moghaddam shows us why globalization is resulting in what he calls catastrophic evolution, the rapid decline and disappearance of minority cultures and languages, and why that brings a clash of ideologies and the rise of extremism. There are also other dangerous trends, and those call for inspired solutions, springing from an understanding that traditional conflict-resolution, evolved in the shadow of the Cold War, is no longer effective and needs to change.

Going where the U.S. Army and the Texas Rangers cannot, Smoke crosses the border in hot pursuit of Keno. The Mexican Federales capture Smoke and the others and place them under arrest. But as soon as the banditos take something near and dear to a Federale commander, the Mexicans decide that Smoke and his fellow prisoners might come in handy after all. They'll fight a fierce and secret little war the only way the Mountain Man knows how: fierce, relentless, and unforgiving to the bitter, bloody end. Because no man steals from Smoke Jensen and lives to enjoy the ill-gotten goods. Not ever.
Download or read book Frontier Terror written by Michael Rutter and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2023-04-01 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the events of January 6, 2021, talk of vigilantes and mob violence have become a part of our daily discourse, reminding us that we haven’t come as far as we thought from the “wild” days of the Old West. The nineteenth century was a time of opportunity in the West, but it was also fraught with lawlessness, racism, and extreme violence as territories became states, freemen and immigrants settled alongside white homesteaders, and the first unions changed the way we work. Author Michael Rutter examines the growing pains of the American West through the lens of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century vigilantes, outlaws, mob violence, and lynchings, proving that oftentimes our country’s democratic progress comes at the cost of physical violence.
