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.

Download or read book The Ghost Army of World War II written by Rick Beyer and published by Chronicle Books. This book was released on 2023-10-10 with total page 275 pages. 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.

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.
