Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fascinating secrets of wartime spy craft by the original founder of the Boy Scouts. Written during the first years of World War I by a British military hero, this fascinating historic volume by the original founder of the Boy Scouts introduces the essentials of spy craft. By utilizing such natural objects as butterflies, moths and leaves, Robert Baden-Powell served to further mythologize British resourcefulness and promote a certain 'weaponization of the pastoral' Baden-Powell, founder of the Boy Scouts and storyteller extraordinaire, developed his spying skills in South Africa and conducted some of his most inspired work in the Balkans, where he worked undercover as a butterfly hunter. In brief, breezy chapters, he explains how to adopt disguises, hide messages, create diversions, escape capture, and perform other thrilling maneuvers. "In this entertaining little volume of reminiscences Sir Robert Baden-Powell joyfully accepts the title of spy, and he thus does something to remove the absurd discredit attaching to a title which is too loosely used. The process of finding out information about the enemy while one is dressed in civil clothes is called "spying"; the exactly similar process when one is dressed in uniform is called 'reconnoitering' or 'scouting.' By all logic the two processes are equally honourable. In fact the spy accepts the greater risks, for in war his life is forfeit if he is captured, yet when this happens he is looked down upon as a 'despicable spy.' 'I don't,' says General Baden-Powell, 'see the justice of it myself.' We don't either. A large part of the work of the Intelligence Department is of coulee simply 'spying,' and very difficult work it is, requiring coolness, daring, and resource. Even in peace time if the spy is caught he cannot expect to have a word said on his behalf by his Government. The terms of his employment require him to accept the consequences. It is true that in peace time he will not be shot, but he may quite easily find himself condemned to several years' imprisonment fora trivial offense. The only case in which odium justly belongs to a spy is when he is treacherous or venal--when he spies upon his own land and his own people in order to sell the information to an enemy, or when he betrays the hospitality of the foreign country in which he lives. Other spying is simply what General Baden-Powell aptly calls 'reconnaissance in disguise."-The Spectator, 27 March 1915, Page 18

Download or read book Trustworthy Loyal Brave written by David Moore and published by . This book was released on 2012-08-01 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trustworthy Loyal Brave: The Hmong Boy Scouts of Troop 100 is a book of oral histories. David L. Moore conducted a series of interviews with the boys in his all-Hmong Scout Troop and with young men who had been in his Troop but had gone on to begin careers and start their own families. The book documents the impact of Scouting on these boys, how it helped to keep them on the right path, but it also shows what wonderful qualities of character, of perseverance in adversity, and of team spirit they brought to their Scouting adventures and to everything they undertook. In an earlier book, Dark Sky, Dark Land: Stories of the Hmong Boy Scouts of Troop 100, Moore documents his Scouts' life in Laos during the Vietnam War, their struggle to escape the country, and the difficulties they had in adjusting to American society. The current book, Trustworthy Loyal Brave can be thought of as a sequel to the earlier story, showing what became of the generation of Hmong youth who first sought refuge here in this new land. Their story is part of the continuing history of America and the struggle of its people to establish and preserve the principles of a free society.

Download or read book A Guest of the Reich written by Peter Finn and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2019-09-24 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Guest of the Reich is the incredible true story of Gertrude “Gertie” Legendre, an American heiress taken prisoner by the Nazis. Born into a wealthy family, Legendre lived a charmed life in Jazz Age America. But when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, she joined the OSS—the wartime spy organization that preceded the CIA—and headed to Europe. In 1944, while on leave, Legendre accidentally crossed the front lines along the Luxembourg–Germany border and was captured. The Nazis treated her as a “special prisoner” of the SS and moved her from city to city throughout Germany, where she witnessed the collapse of Hitler’s Reich as no other American did, before escaping into Switzerland. A gripping portrait of a multifaceted and deeply fascinating woman, A Guest of the Reich is a propulsive account of a little-known chapter in the history of World War II.
