Book excerpt: In the annals of espionage, one name towers above all others: that of H. A. R. "Kim" Philby, the ringleader of the legendary Cambridge spies. A member of the British establishment, Philby joined the Secret Intelligence Service in 1940, rose to the head of Soviet counterintelligence, and, as M16's liaison with the CIA and the FBI, betrayed every secret of Allied operations to the Russians, fatally compromising covert actions to roll back the Iron Curtain in the early years of the Cold War. Written from Moscow in 1967, My Silent War shook the world and introduced a new archetype in fiction: the unrepentant spy. It inspired John Le Carre's Smiley novels and the later espionage novels of Graham Greene. Kim Philby was history's most successful spy. He was also an exceptional writer who gave us the great iconic story of the Cold War and revolutionized, in the process, the art of espionage writing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cold War was the first major conflict between superpowers in which victory and defeat were unambiguously determined without the firing of a shot. Without the shield of a strong, silent deterrent or the intellectual sword of espionage beneath the sea, that war could not have been won. John P. Craven was a key figure in the Cold War beneath the sea. As chief scientist of the Navy's Special Projects Office, which supervised the Polaris missile system, then later as head of the Deep Submergence Systems Project (DSSP) and the Deep Submergence Rescue Vehicle program (DSRV), both of which engaged in a variety of clandestine undersea projects, he was intimately involved with planning and executing America's submarine-based nuclear deterrence and submarine-based espionage activities during the height of the Cold War. Craven was considered so important by the Soviets that they assigned a full-time KGB agent to spy on him. Some of Craven's highly classified activities have been mentioned in such books as Blind Man's Bluff, but now he gives us his own insights into the deadly cat-and-mouse game that U.S. and Soviet forces played deep in the world's oceans. Craven tells riveting stories about the most treacherous years of the Cold War. In 1956 Nautilus, the world's first nuclear-powered submarine and the backbone of the Polaris ballistic missile system, was only days or even hours from sinking due to structural damage of unknown origin. Craven led a team of experts to diagnose the structural flaw that could have sent the sub to the bottom of the ocean, taking the Navy's missile program with it. Craven offers insight into the rivalry between the advocates of deterrence (with whom he sided) and those military men and scientists, such as Edward Teller, who believed that the United States had to prepare to fight and win a nuclear conflict with the Soviet Union. He describes the argument that raged in the Navy over the reasons for the tragic loss of the submarine Thresher, and tells the astonishing story of the hunt for the rogue Soviet sub that became the model for The Hunt for Red October -- including the amazing discovery the Navy made when it eventually found the sunken sub. Craven takes readers inside the highly secret DSSP and DSRV programs, both of which offered crucial cover for sophisticated intelligence operations. Both programs performed important salvage operations in addition to their secret espionage activities, notably the recovery of a nuclear bomb off Palomares, Spain. He describes how the Navy's success at deep-sea recovery operations led to the takeover of the entire program by the CIA during the Nixon administration. A compelling tale of intrigue, both within our own government and between the U.S. and Soviet navies, The Silent War is an enthralling insider's account of how the submarine service kept the peace during the dangerous days of the Cold War.
Download or read book The Silent War written by Frank Furedi and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Racial identity is one of the defining characteristics of the 20th century. In this study, Frank Furedi traces the history of Western colonial racist ideology and its role in the subjugation of the peoples of the non-West. His central theme is the changing perception of racism in the West and how the use of "race" has altered during the course of the 20th century. Focusing on World War II as the crucial turning point in racist ideology, Furedi argues that the defeat of Nazism left the West uneasy with its own racist past. He assesses how this was redefined in the postwar period, especially during the Cold War, and demonstrates that although white supremacist views became obsolete in international affairs, Western nations sought to portray racism as a natural part of the human condition. As a result the West continued to adopt the moral high ground well into the postwar period, to the ultimate detriment of the nations of the non-West.

Book excerpt: As the head of Swedish Intelligence in Brussels Bente Jensen has many enemies, even among those who ought to be her allies, like Jonathan Green of MI6. In a city heaving with competing espionage agencies he is the person she fears and distrusts most. She has good reason. They share a past. Green has been part of an MI6 conspiracy to hold, interrogate, torture and kill its political prisoners in a safe house in Syria. This explosive information has been leaked to Bente by a conscience-stricken British operative. When it is clear she can expose this operation MI6 uses its full arsenal of dirty tricks to shame her, disgrace her, destroy her relationships and remove her from active service. But Green's private life has more in common with Bente's than he acknowledges. He is far from fireproof himself. Both spies will find themselves targets of the UK establishment's precisely calculated revenge. Like its highly acclaimed predecessor Into A Raging Blaze Andreas Norman's new novel is a morally and politically complex international thriller. Its nail-biting plot and sympathetic characters show the tragic human consequences of private and public treachery.

Download or read book The Silent War written by Cloud Mykals and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2018-12-02 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to Natalie Knight, Natural Healer and Health Coach, "The Silent War is a raw, bluntly honest, inspiring guide to rebuilding lives, perceptions and relationships after Combat or other traumatic events. PTSD is not just a soldier thing." This is literary journey into the mind and life of someone who is dealing with PTSD. Please don't confuse the purpose of this book, it is not written as a medical journal or a psychological textbook, or even as a life empowerment book. This is a real life toolbox with practical working techniques and knowledge to help rebuild misperceptions and misjudgments both, by and toward the person experiencing PTSD and those around them. Using his own life and experiences in dealing with PTSD after combat as a base line for discussion and point of reference for the reader, Cloud Mykals has created a guide, ready to be put into use, so as to give perspective, and provide hope to the person struggling with the PTSD; as well as, the loved ones of this person. Often times family members or loved ones of those suffering from PTSD are hurting as well from the rifts caused in their relationships due to simply not having a point of reference or understanding as to what or even how their loved one, thinks or truly feels. Many time the one with PTSD can not convey these thoughts or feelings and thus vital communication begins to breakdown. The combination of being unable to convey these feelings to the loved one, and the misconceptions, misunderstandings, and misperceptions between them can cause larger revolving issues of resentment, bitterness, confusion, uncertainty, then feelings of being unloved or unwanted and alone within themselves begin to take hold. These feelings only heighten the ever-darkening effects of PTSD. This can cause rising tensions on both sides and without help can all to often lead to disastrous ends, with both, hearts, and relationships damaged on every level and let's not forget the more tragic ends such as veteran suicide. Cloud Mykals knows from experience that dealing with these dark, powerful, and at times seemingly hopeless thoughts and negative feelings can leave you in a world of confused reality, plagued by psychological shifts which have physical effects. It can become both depressing and frightening. Cloud spent many years going through this dark and twisted rollercoaster and on going effects of PTSD after his time in combat during the IRAQ War. For many others it may an abusive relationship, a life changing accident, or a myriad of other scenarios. Whether it is you or your loved one who may be a veteran or a civilian matters not, the heart and mind of us all as well as the pain we experience is much the same. "I have compiled years of my personal life, experience and knowledge in this book to show that lives can be rebuilt and relationships can be mended. "The Silent War" within can be won. A new life awaits, I have already lived exactly where you are; perhaps, our exact situations bringing us to those places were different but either way we are much the same. I extend my hand in friendship to you. Your life has meaning, and worth and you are not alone. Take the knowledge in this book as my gift to you, and pass it on with more of your own to others so that together we may save as many lives and relationships as we can." - Cloud Mykals

Book excerpt: Ben Bova's The Silent War is the breakneck continuation to The Asteroid Wars series that can end only in earth's salvation--or the annihilation of all that humankind has ever accomplished in space. When corporations go to war, standard business practice goes out the window. Astro Corporation is led by indomitable Texan Pancho Lane, Humphries Space Systems by the rich and ruthless Martin Humphries, and their fight is over nothing less than resources of the Asteroid Belt itself. As fighting escalates, the lines between commerce and politics, boardroom and bedroom, blur--and the keys to victory will include physics, nanotechnology, and cold hard cash. As they fight it out, the lives of thousands of innocents hang in the balance, including the rock rats who make their living off the asteroids, and the inhabitants of Selene City on Earth's moon. As if matters weren't complicated enough, the shadowy Yamagata corporation sets its sights on taking advantage of other people's quarrels, and space pirate Lars Fuchs decides it's time to make good on his own personal vendetta.

Download or read book The Silent War Within written by Jane Lim and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-12-30 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book includes the author's interesting scientific finding that reverses the present research conclusion about how to traditionally inhibit the tumor growth and her own experiments and testimonies on parasitic fungi. This book is written for healthy families who wish to consciously stay healthy or take care of patients; for unhealthy families and patients who are diagnosed with autoimmune diseases or who struggle with their unknown illnesses; for litigants who were forced to abandon their houses due to mold invasions; for healthcare providers who failed to find a cause of patients' illnesses; and for personal injury or medical malpractice lawyers who are representing ill clients who are struggling with "The Most Common, The Most Deadly" fungal infections. This book is introduced as a landmark to inspire people including cancer patients and healthcare providers about the anciently misdiagnosed illness "Cancer," which is caused by parasitic fungi, is misdiagnosed as flu or a cold in the beginning, and is erroneously treated with wrong medications in the middle of the progress only to discover that the cancer is treated by antifungal medications in the end. This book is intended to educate readers about parasitic fungi that mutate fungal genes to survive in the hosts yielding cancerous cells and that the parasitic fungi are the cause of autoimmune diseases. The main goal of this book is to help children and families who are left behind without treatments under the guise of a false psychological theory "Munchausen Syndrome By Proxy (faking illness)." This book is intended to enlighten readers about risks of parasitic fungi that destruct health, homes, offices, schools, hospitals, and further family relationships, and that construct expensive lawsuits, social distrusts, unnecessary public and medical expenses and secondary victims. This book is aimed at past, present, and future patients who are programmed to fail to get a medical help for early cancer test and treatment under the present insurance policies, immunity laws, and medical malpractice laws that govern millions of health insurance policyholders, healthcare providers, and government-funded medical facilities. The author discusses why GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) Vitamins cause antifungal and antibiotic resistances and why GMO Vitamins may initiate or exacerbate autoimmune diseases. This book discusses "causes and effects" and "possible treatments" of autoimmune diseases that are caused by an untreated fungal infection. This book explains why the early signs of autoimmune diseases are neglected either by patients or by healthcare providers, how autoimmune diseases are initiated by a fungal mutation, why the autoimmune diseases respond to antifungal agents, and how curable diseases turn to incurable diseases. This book explains why fungal disruptions in human metabolisms result in "the various names of illnesses" in the beginning and "autoimmune diseases" in the end. This book suggests that a high level of LDL Cholesterol (known as bad Cholesterol) of patients may be a consequence of chronic and acute fungal infections and the LDL Cholesterol may be a fungal sterol that was horizontally transferred from the parasitic fungi that mutate their genes in the hosts to survive from the hosts' antibodies. This book explains how harmful acids are produced when parasitic fungi are hosted by humans and animals, how alcohol (fungal urine) and tobaccos may chemically make more Ergosterol or Lanosterol in the hosts and how patients can repair their damaged cells. This book explains how cancer tumors and cysts can be treated and how female patients can resume their menopause and become pregnant. This book is not a substitute of a medical diagnosis or a prescription to treat their illness.

Download or read book Silent Victory written by Clay Blair and published by US Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the content of an authoritative reference and the excitement of a thriller, this history of the U.S. submarine war is one of the most informative and entertaining books written on the Pacific campaign. The author, a respected journalist and World War II submariner himself, is credited with providing a complete and unbiased account of what happened. When published in 1975, it was the first such account to detail controversial aspects of the American campaign, from the torpedo scandal to discrepancies between claimed and confirmed sinkings. To get to the truth, Clay Blair interviewed scores of skippers, staff officers, and code breakers, and combed thousands of documents and personal papers. In addition, he thoroughly researched the development of the submarine and torpedo from pre-war to post-war times. As a result, he takes the reader into the submarine war at all levels--the highest strategy sessions in Washington, the terrifying moments in subs at the bottom of the ocean waiting out exploding depth charges, the zany efforts of a crew coaxing a chicken to lay an egg. He also exposes the reader to the jealous infighting of admirals vying for power and the problems between cautious older skippers and daring young commanders. Supplementing the text are nearly forty maps showing submarine activity in the context of every important naval engagement in the Pacific, more than thirty pages of photographs, multiple appendixes (including a calendar of submarine war patrols), and an index of over 2,000 entries. This is a work of great scholarship and scope that makes a timeless contribution to the history of World War II.

Only a fraction of the nearly 40 million people who visit this 24-hour city ever bother to look west and skyward toward the mountain.The truth is that this very mountain is a silent memorial to fourteen men who died there in a plane crash on November 17, 1955; men who were part of the secret development of the U-2 spy plane, integral to America's success in the Cold War. The United States government was so determined to keep their mission a secret that it lied to the families of the victims, sealed the crash records and even rigged the site with explosives in an effort to obliterate any remnants of their existence.If it weren't for the curiosity of one visitor, the national secret that haunted the mountainside might never have been revealed. In these pages, finally, the story is told.
