Download or read book All Secure written by Tom Satterly and published by Center Street. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most highly regarded special operations soldiers in American military history shares his war stories and personal battle with PTSD. As a senior non-commissioned officer of the most elite and secretive special operations unit in the U.S. military, Command Sergeant Major Tom Satterly fought some of this country's most fearsome enemies. Over the course of twenty years and thousands of missions, he's fought desperately for his life, rescued hostages, killed and captured terrorist leaders, and seen his friends maimed and killed around him. All Secure is in part Tom's journey into a world so dark and dangerous that most Americans can't contemplate its existence. It recounts what it is like to be on the front lines with one of America's most highly trained warriors. As action-packed as any fiction thriller, All Secure is an insider's view of "The Unit." Tom is a legend even among other Tier One special operators. Yet the enemy that cost him three marriages, and ruined his health physically and psychologically, existed in his brain. It nearly led him to kill himself in 2014; but for the lifeline thrown to him by an extraordinary woman it might have ended there. Instead, they took on Satterly's most important mission-saving the lives of his brothers and sisters in arms who are killing themselves at a rate of more than twenty a day. Told through Satterly's firsthand experiences, it also weaves in the reasons-the bloodshed, the deaths, the intense moments of sheer terror, the survivor's guilt, depression, and substance abuse-for his career-long battle against the most insidious enemy of all: Post Traumatic Stress. With the help of his wife, he learned that by admitting his weaknesses and faults he sets an example for other combat veterans struggling to come home.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America’s national parks are breathing spaces in a world in which such spaces are steadily disappearing, which is why more than 300 million people visit the parks each year.

From the Grand Tetons in Wyoming to Acadia in Maine to Big Bend in Texas and more, Williams creates a series of lyrical portraits that illuminate the unique grandeur of each place while delving into what it means to shape a landscape with its own evolutionary history into something of our own making. Part memoir, part natural history, and part social critique, The Hour of Land is a meditation and a manifesto on why wild lands matter to the soul of America.
Download or read book Viking Gold written by A. Jay Collins and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2023-10-20 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using unscrupulous methods, a pair of Danish rogues gain control of an ill-equipped and cash-poor mining company. It owns an abandoned underground mine on the barren south coast of Newfoundland that still hosts quality gold but cannot convince the market to financially support rejuvenation. The pair intend to strip out as much of the high-grade gold remaining and ship it off-shore for processing, as they did on a similar project in Greenland. A powerful Russian oligarch, with murky motives, arranges a multi-million-dollar loan, based on lies, for the Danes to re-activate the mine, and build a processing plant they don’t actually intend to build. Instead, the Russian and the Danes keep the loans for themselves, as well as the revenue from the sale of the gold. It's another billion-dollar heist. Just like their previous “venture” on the southern tip of Greenland, they intend to mine as fast as possible, leaving Newfoundland with nothing but a toxic mess. Led by saboteur Matthew Black, ORB - the Organization for Restructuring Business - has to stop the Russian and the Danes, control their cash flow, divert money back to the original lenders, and put all three out of business. Their tactics include sabotaging the mine, their barges, and their mega-yachts. As ORB goes to great lengths to sabotage the thieves, the gold hangs in the balance. Will ORB succeed in stopping the rogues? Will the financier be left in the lurch, again? Or will ORB be able to put a stop to their nefarious plans once and for all?
