Book excerpt: "Packed with action, INVASION is relentless and leaves you wanting more. Highly recommended." ★★★★★ Steven McLaughlin, Author of Squaddie: A Soldier's Story This story moves at breakneck pace, but be warned—have another book ready., because you'll read this one quickly. ★★★★★ ARRSE - The Army Rumour Service, The UK's largest unofficial military website. ________________ London, the far future—the city is almost unrecognisable, a legacy of the war fought centuries past. Now, two men navigate its dark streets, soldiers on a mission, fighting a battle that began hundreds of years ago… As Downing Street basks beneath a summer sun, the driver of a truck bomb watches and waits as the seconds on his watch tick away. Across the city, three men park their van beneath London’s busiest flight path and unload Stinger missiles, aiming them at the giant airliner passing overhead. In Stockwell, south London, an MI5 officer discovers that his surveillance target—and scores of others—have shaken their tails and disappeared. All at the same time. The fuse has been lit. A maelstrom of violence is about to engulf the capital, a precursor to something far bigger. Something unimaginable and infinitely more terrifying… INVASION.
Download or read book Rebels on the Niagara written by Lawrence E. Cline and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2017-11-21 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offers a detailed account of the political and military history of the Irish American Fenian Brotherhood in the nineteenth century. In what is now largely considered a footnote in history, Americans invaded Canada along the Niagara Frontier in 1866. The group behind the invasion—the Fenian Brotherhood—was formed in 1858 by Irish nationalists in New York City in order to fight for Irish independence from Britain. At the end of the American Civil War, Fenian leaders attempted to use Irish Americans, many of them combat veterans, to seize Canada and make it the “New Ireland” as a means to force the British from “old” Ireland. New York State was both the epicenter of Fenian leadership and a key support base and staging area for the military operations. Although relatively short-lived and with some of its military operations being somewhere between farce and tragedy, the Fenian Brotherhood had a very important impact on nineteenth-century New York and America, but remains largely forgotten. In Rebels on the Niagara Lawrence E. Cline examines not only the Fenian operations and their impact on Canada, but also the role the United States and New York played in both the initial support for the Fenian movement and its subsequent collapse in America. Lawrence E. Cline is Lecturer in Intelligence Analysis at Buffalo State College, State University of New York. He is the author of The Lord’s Resistance Army.

Download or read book Designing Clothes written by Veronica Manlow and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-04 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fashion is all around us: we see it, we buy it, we read about it, but most people know little about fashion as a business. Veronica Manlow considers the broader signifi cance of fashion in society, the creative process of fashion design, and how fashion unfolds in an organizational context where design is conceived and executed. To get a true insider's perspective, she became an intern at fashion giant Tommy Hilfi ger. Th ere, she observed and recorded how a business's culture is built on a brand that is linked to the charisma and style of its leader. Fashion firms are not just in the business of selling clothing along with a variety of sidelines. Th ese companies must also sell a larger concept around which people can identify and distinguish themselves from others. Manlow defi nes the four main tasks of a fashion fi rm as creation of an image, translation of that image into a product, presentation of the product, and selling the product. Each of these processes is interrelated and each requires the eff orts of a variety of specialists, who are often in distant locations. Manlow shows how the design and presentation of fashion is infl uenced by changes in society, both cultural and economic. Information about past sales and reception of items, as well as projective research informs design, manufacturing, sales, distribution, and marketing decisions. Manlow offers a comprehensive view of the ways in which creative decisions are made, leading up to the creation of actual styles. She helps to defi ne the contribution fashion fi rms make in upholding, challenging, or redefi ning the social order. Readers will fi nd this a fascinating examination of an industry that is quite visible, but little understood.

Download or read book Lighter and Darker written by T.E. Shaffer and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2016-06-30 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a continuation of the content and format style of what was to be found in this writer’s immediately preceding book Light and Dark, 1982 edition revised. (August 2015) If you read or sampled and liked that book then you’ll likely find this one equally or maybe even more to your taste. The alphabetical arrangement by title in that first book took you from Aardvark to Zeitgeist where this one moves you along from About Backbones And Breakfast Foods to Zero Heroes. Between its “A through Z” arrangement you’ll encounter a strange and often epileptically eclectic selection of richly mixed subjects, topics and treatments which this writer had at some point felt some compelling need to put on paper for his own relief and the possible amusement or edification of “imagined others”. If you’re in this group then this book is for you. If, however, you should have an insensitivity, let alone active dislike for rhyme and alliteration in your reading matter then this book, most especially should you be reading this in some braille version, since it might very well prove “toxic to touch” best you promptly put it down and move on to another and safer shelf or pile. Seriously though, this collection does offer a full spectrum of the silly and the serious often inextricably intertwined within the uncomfortably containing body of the very same composition, rather like a hot mustard pickle relish thickly spread between the cut halves of a sweet bun. Yes De gustibus … de gustibus! But please, if you’ll let me be clear, if perhaps, a little Ogden Nashy here … without too much … fusstibus!

Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author of Collusion and The Snowden Files Luke Harding’s personal, frontline reporting on Russia’s harrowing invasion of Ukraine, the biggest news event of the year and an inflection point in international politics “An excellent, moving account of an ongoing tragedy.” —Anne Applebaum, New York Times bestselling author of Twilight of Democracy In a damning, inspiring, and breathtaking narrative of what is likely to be a turning point for Europe—and the world—Guardian correspondent and New York Times bestselling author Luke Harding reports firsthand on the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Download or read book Gaza written by Norman Finkelstein and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2021-07-27 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gaza Strip is among the most densely populated places in the world. More than two-thirds of its inhabitants are refugees, and more than half are under eighteen years of age. Since 2004, Israel has launched eight devastating "operations" against Gaza's largely defenseless population. Thousands have perished, and tens of thousands have been left homeless. In the meantime, Israel has subjected Gaza to a merciless illegal blockade. Norman G. Finkelstein presents a meticulously researched inquest into Gaza's martyrdom. He shows that although Israel justified its assaults in the name of self-defense, in fact these actions constituted flagrant violations of international law. He also documents that the guardians of international law -- from Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch to the UN Human Rights Council -- ultimately failed Gaza.

Download or read book War and Peace written by Nigel Hamilton and published by Biteback Publishing. This book was released on 2019-05-07 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the much-anticipated conclusion to his masterful trilogy chronicling the wartime career of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, renowned military and political biographer Nigel Hamilton aligns triumph with tragedy to show how FDR was the architect of a victorious peace that he would not live to witness. Providing the definitive account of the events in Normandy on 6 June 1944, Hamilton also reveals the fraught nature of the relationship between the greatest wartime leaders of the Allied forces. Using hitherto unpublished documents and interviews to counter the famous narrative of World War II strategy given by Winston Churchill in his memoirs, Hamilton highlights the true significance of FDR's leadership. Seventy-five years after the D-Day landings, we finally see, close up and in dramatic detail, who was responsible for rescuing – and insisting upon – the great American-led invasion of France in June 1944, and exactly why that invasion was orchestrated by Eisenhower. War and Peace is the rousing final installment in one of the most important historical biographies of the twenty-first century, which demonstrates how FDR's failing health only spurred him on in his efforts to build a US-backed post-war world order. In this stirring account of the life of one of the most celebrated political leaders of our time, Hamilton hails the President as the sole person capable of anticipating the requirements of peace in order to bring an end to the war.
