Book excerpt: The founder of Blackwater offers the gripping true story of the world’s most controversial military contractor. In 1997, former Navy SEAL Erik Prince started a business that would recruit civilians for the riskiest security jobs in the world. As Blackwater’s reputation grew, demand for its services escalated, and its men eventually completed nearly 100,000 missions for both the Bush and Obama administrations. It was a huge success except for one problem: Blackwater was demonized around the world. Its employees were smeared as mercenaries, profiteers, or worse. And because of the secrecy requirements of its contracts with the Pentagon, the State Department, and the CIA, Prince was unable to correct false information. But now he’s finally able to tell the full story about some of the biggest controversies of the War on Terror, in a memoir that reads like a thriller.

His story, couched in the backdrop of American and world history, invokes the spirit of patriotism, duty, and honors all unsung heroes and first responder's display. The story celebrates an ordinary man who, like other ordinary men, serves their country and family, preserving our freedoms as Americans. "Good book, short chapters." Goodreads. "Unsung Hero by Margaret Best is memoir writing at its best. Her focus on the subject of this book, her father, Albert Vincent Greene, is constant. And yet, she manages to complement his story with an ongoing history lesson." Don Lubov "I read this strictly for pleasure and to learn what it was like being a prisoner of war. This is a quick-read book, but it has so much of life packed into it." William Pricher "Reading Unsung Hero brought back a thousand memories of my childhood and more importantly, my recognizing that there are, in fact, two UNSUNG HEROES in heaven. I can't thank you enough for this book." Bruce Myers, retired military officer, past military brat.

The wealthy stories of Nemeso's life have been passed on through oral tradition.

Download or read book Warrior Wannabe written by Tom Baker and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2022-02-01 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2 Readers will get to know Tom Baker well in this unflinching, introspective, and honest account of his always-interesting life. In prose that is unadorned, sometimes ugly, but always authentic, he mixes harrowing tales of combat in Vietnam with humorous tales of growing up in the mountains of western North Carolina. He introduces readers to the friends, family members, and forces that have shaped him and his experiences. In the process, he reveals how history impacts people in ways large and small that echo for generations and across continents. His story reveals firsthand the thrills and consequences of a warrior mindset, a mindset that can lead to be trauma and enlightenment. Tom Baker is much more than just a warrior, though, and certainly not a wannabe. He is someone who has seen a lot of darkness but has not let that block out the light. —Alex Macaulay, PhD, US military historian Many people have sought solitude and inner peace in the mixed hardwood forests of the southern Appalachian Mountains. My father, Charles Woodard, also heard the call to the woods. Like Tom Baker, his mentee and friend for many years, Dad was pulled into the comforting and sometimes dangerous confines of the forest. These forests were where Tom Baker went to not only make a living but also to confront and deal with the demons of war and the struggles they bring to lives beyond war. Living life one day at a time, he searched for the inner strength to slowly, over time, remake himself, his life, and so many of the lives around him. —Dickie Woodard, former timber cutter and lifelong outdoorsman All of us have demons. Tom Baker’s memoir is moving in how transparently and unashamedly its author shares his demons with us. Here is a man who has loved and been loved, has dodged death and has dealt death, has been scared and has been lost, and has loved and been loved yet again. As you read about his life, you realize that it is not insanity that leads a former soldier and logger to run and bike and navigate through the woods at all hours of the day and night, but sanity and his need to preserve himself for himself and for those he loves. Baker tells a tale of how adventure racing, instead of helping him to outrun his demons, gave him the emotional tools to turn, face those demons, and stomp them into the ground. His example is a gift to all who know him, and his memoir is a gift to all those who will know him now through his writing. —Nate Kreuter, PhD, author and adventure racer

Download or read book Unsun Valor A GI s Story of World War II written by Harrison, A. Cleveland and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2003 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thirty riveting months in the life of a common infantryman, one among the "citizen soldiers" who took the Allies to victory When drafted into the army in 1943, A. Cleveland Harrison was a reluctant eighteen-year-old Arkansas student sure that he would not make a good soldier. But inside thirty months he manfully bore arms and more. This book is his memoir about becoming a soldier, a common infantryman among the ranks of those who truly won the war. After the Allied victory in 1945, books by and about the major statesmen, generals, and heroes of World War II appeared regularly. Yet millions of American soldiers who helped achieve and secure victory slipped silently into civilian life, trying to forget the war and what they had done. Most remain unsung, for virtually none thought of themselves as exceptional. During the war ordinary soldiers had only done what they believed their country expected. Harrison's firsthand account is the full history of what happened to him in three units from 1943 to 1946, disclosing the sensibilities, the conflicting emotions, and the humor that coalesced within the naive draftee. He details the induction and basic training procedures, his student experiences in Army pre-engineering school, his infantry training and overseas combat, battle wounds and the complete medical pipeline of hospitalization and recovery, the waits in replacement depots, life in the Army of Occupation, and his discharge. Wrenched from college and denied the Army Specialized Training Program's promise of individual choice in assignment, students were thrust into the infantry. Harrison's memoir describes training in the Ninety-fourth Infantry Division in the U.S., their first combat holding action at Lorient, France, and the division's race to join Patton's Third Army, where Harrison's company was decimated and he was wounded while attacking the Siegfried Line. Reassigned to the U.S. Group Control Council, he had a unique opportunity to observe both the highest echelons in military government and the ordinary soldiers as Allied troops occupied Berlin. This veteran's memoir reveals all aspects of military life and sings of those valorous but ordinary soldiers who achieved the victory. A. Cleveland Harrison is an emeritus professor of theatre at Auburn University.

Download or read book The Desert Warrior written by M. B. Dallocchio and published by . This book was released on 2017-09-08 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Desert Warrior is an extraordinary memoir of trauma recovery and resilience, while providing a fascinating look at one soldier¿s return from the early, grisly years of the Iraq war. After losing her money, possessions, and fiancé, a soldier returns to the U.S. from war feeling disconnected from family, friends, and everyday American life. When she encounters rejection from her compatriots and the VA as a female combat veteran, she decides to embark on a global odyssey to find her own true meaning of ¿home.¿ While she may appear different than most as a multiracial woman who was one of the first women who served in direct combat operations in the U.S. military, this wandering soldier explains how we all share the universal desire for acceptance, love, and a secure place to call home. The Desert Warrior drops the war-glamorization cliché and compassionately addresses the personal, practical, philosophical, and identity issues surrounding trauma survival. Delving into a surreal world of art, spirituality, and wanderlust, Dallocchio invites readers on an intimate journey around the world where they will gain an understanding of one soldier¿s life while uncovering truths about their own. Through childhood abuse, generational trauma, combat exposure, failed relationships, microaggressions, and violence, Dallocchio sheds light on the numerous ways pain complicates everyday life while illuminating a path toward passion, purpose, and a life worth fighting for.
