Book excerpt: "Phantom Soldier" is now on the U.S. Army's most prestigious pre-deployment reading list for a reason. It won't please those who have come to believe that wars are won and casualties limited through technology, or that the victor's version of one is always correct. But, all U.S. security personnel should read it. Possibly the West's best treatise on Oriental warfare, it sheds new light on what Asian infantry can do: (1) alternate between guerrilla, mobile, and positional warfare; (2) use "ordinary forces" to engage and "extraordinary forces [infiltrators]" to defeat; and then (3) retreat to save lives. What occurred in history doesn't change, but one's perception of it does--as he comes to better understand his former foe. Here's what really happened at Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima, Chosin Reservoir, and Hue City. Those who believe this book's cover art to be fantasy have only to google the term "dac cong." Through how the NVA held their own without resupply, tanks, artillery, or air power, U.S. grunts could better survive the more lethal enemy weaponry of the 21st Century.

Book excerpt: In 1940 a group of artists, sculptors, film makers, theatre designers and set painters came together to form the Camouflage Unit. They were so successful that in August 1942 Montgomery ordered them to to hide the preparations for the Battle of Alamein. In six weeks two entire divisions were conjured from the sand, while real units, stores and men vanished into thin air. Then, right in front of the German's eyes they made 600 tanks disappear and reappear fifty miles away disguised as lorries. Rommel had been bamboozled by an army made of nothing but string and straw and bits of wood.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A riveting tale told through personal accounts and sketches along the way—ultimately, a story of success against great odds. I enjoyed it enormously.” —Tom Brokaw The first book to tell the full story of how a traveling road show of artists wielding imagination, paint, and bravado saved thousands of American lives—now updated with new material. In the summer of 1944, a handpicked group of young GIs—artists, designers, architects, and sound engineers, including such future luminaries as Bill Blass, Ellsworth Kelly, Arthur Singer, Victor Dowd, Art Kane, and Jack Masey—landed in France to conduct a secret mission. From Normandy to the Rhine, the 1,100 men of the 23rd Headquarters Special Troops, known as the Ghost Army, conjured up phony convoys, phantom divisions, and make-believe headquarters to fool the enemy about the strength and location of American units. Every move they made was top secret, and their story was hushed up for decades after the war's end. Hundreds of color and black-and-white photographs, along with maps, official memos, and letters, accompany Rick Beyer and Elizabeth Sayles’s meticulous research and interviews with many of the soldiers, weaving a compelling narrative of how an unlikely team carried out amazing battlefield deceptions that saved thousands of American lives and helped open the way for the final drive to Germany. The stunning art created between missions also offers a glimpse of life behind the lines during World War II. This updated edition includes: A new afterword by co-author Rick Beyer Never-before-seen additional images The successful campaign to have the unit awarded a Congressional Gold Medal History and WWII enthusiasts will find The Ghost Army of World War II an essential addition to their library.
Download or read book Tell No Lies But Keep Secrets written by Monique Bizzell and published by Monique Bizzell. This book was released on 2008-11-11 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sci-fi is very popular these days. We love our tech gadgets that do wonders that seem like miracles or magic. We can't get enough of it, in books, in movies and on television. We are on a train that no one knows for sure where it's leading us. Will technology be used to help us gain better control over our lives or will our lives become controlled by technology instead. What if the answer was both? The former wouldn't be cause for alarm but, the latter would be. Just how is technology going to control our lives and will it hurt? Tell No Lies But Keep Secrets takes the reader on a journey that's filled on the future of mankind and where technology should fit into the schema of man's existence. Tell No Lies But Keep Secrets is an action thriller with action scenes and fight scenes that would look awesome on the big screen. There are some unexpected twisted to the unusual fight scenes in the action thriller spy genre. What I like most about this story is, besides writing it, is the technology. Much of the technology in Tell No Lies But keep Secrets is fringe science but, some of it actually does exist with only bits of the full scope of the technology having been released to the public such as mind reading technologies. The future tech that was created for this story does not exist today but, there is a great possibility that it some day could. Tell No Lies But Keep will have the reader think about technology and its place amongst us. The reader is also taken on a journey that will have them pondering on what are the real truths and what are created truths of their very own existence.

Book excerpt: It is said that a white-robed youth appeared in the Jianghu not long ago. He has an elegant demeanor and is gentle like jade. He is handsome and elegant. If he swung his sword with snow or his Pear Blossom Dance, it would be extremely beautiful. However, within a year, he had mercilessly annihilated five sects in the martial arts world. At that moment, everyone in the martial arts world felt respect and fear for him. It was a tribute to his integrity, as all the people he killed were later found out. They were all once villains to Li Shu, committing evil in many ways. Ju was cruel, and the sects he killed were all slaughtered. Not a single one of them survived. After every incident, he would always leave his name in the word 'blood'. He called himself the "White Robe Sword" Yang Muyun. Close]
