Book excerpt: When General Betchley formed the Urban Strike Group to combat the violence in Britain, no-one had any idea just how effective it would turn out to be. The commandos scythed through the streets of London, sweeping away terrorists and criminals as fast as they appeared. Operating with total anonymity with no fear of recrimination, their deadly methods proved to be overwhelming. However, such ruthlessness was always going to attract attention, and now they have a different kind of enemy; one as skilled and secretive as the Group itself, more than capable of returning fire in the heat of battle. The loss of one of their own brings home the harsh realities of urban warfare, and the consequences threaten to expose the USG to the very people hunting them. Now the commandos will need to defend the Capital while facing this new threat. Will their Close Quarter Battle abilities be enough? Or will fighting shadowy mercenaries prove to be their downfall?

Book excerpt: “Charged with adrenaline, RETURN FIRE is a high-speed police thriller that never lets you off the edge of your seat. Equal parts mystery and action thriller, RETURN FIRE is page-turning fiction at its very best.” —the American Author’s Association As a decorated SWAT sniper, Barry Ozeroff’s aim as a storyteller is just as deadly accurate. RETURN FIRE is everything you could ever want in a thriller. —Steve Hamilton, Edgar Award-winning author of NIGHT WORK. SWAT sniper Ben Geller and his family have a lot on their plate. They were victims of a recent hostage siege, their debts far outweigh their earnings, and they’re trying to adopt a troubled young African-American boy. So the last thing they need is to be stalked by a madman with a grudge, a creative imagination, and fifteen million dollars. Ben has other problems as well. Of the three ladies in his life, the only faithful one is his eight-year-old daughter. The other two—the wife he thought he knew, and the badge-wielding girlfriend who’s maybe just a little too possessive—are both full of surprises. When the stress gets to him, and his job is threatened by an excessive force complaint, Ben realizes he’s lost all control of his life. Then things begin to change for the better, leaving Ben back in full control. But better isn’t always what it’s cracked up to be, and control isn’t just something Ben's lost, it’s something he never had. And now, in RETURN FIRE, Ozeroff fans get the payoff they’ve been waiting for.
Download or read book Return Fire written by Glenn Blake and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2010-03-31 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I was born in a land of bayous, raised between rivers,” writes Glenn Blake in his latest collection of short stories. “There is a place in Southeast Texas where two rivers meet and become one. There is a long bridge over these waters, and as you drive across, you can look to the south and see where the Old River and the Lost River become the Old and the Lost. You can look out as far as you can see and watch this wide water become the bay.” The stories in Return Fire are set in the swamps, bayous, and sloughs of Southeast Texas, a region that is subsiding—sinking inches every year beneath the encroaching tides. The characters who inhabit Blake’s Southern landscape struggle to salvage what they can of their hopes and dreams. They are the walking wounded—cautious, crippled, capable of any act. Magnolias, water, mescal, stars, and fire return again and again in these seven sparse—yet tightly written—vignettes.

Download or read book The Battle Of France written by Peter Cornwell and published by After the Battle. This book was released on 2008-02-28 with total page 1572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peter Cornwell tells the story of the greatest air battle of the Second World War when six nations were locked in combat over north-western Europe for a traumatic six weeks in 1940. He describes the day-to-day events as the battle unfolds, and details the losses suffered by all six nations involved: Britain, France, Holland, Belgium, Germany and, rather belatedly, Italy. As far as RAF fighter squadrons in France were concerned, it was an all-Hurricane show, yet it was the Blenheim and Battle crews who suffered the brunt of the casualties. Every aircraft lost or damaged through enemy action while operating in France is listed together with the fate of the crews. The RAF lost more than a thousand aircraft of all types over the Western Front during the six-week battle, the French Air Force 1,400, but Luftwaffe losses were even higher at over 1,800 aircraft.

Download or read book Dowding s Despatch written by Andy Saunders and published by Grub Street Publishing. This book was released on 2021-10-22 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In September 1946, the London Gazette published a despatch from Air Chief Marshal Sir Hugh C T Dowding that was titled simply: The Battle of Britain. Written and submitted to the Air Ministry in 1941, this document became the very framework for the accepted Battle of Britain narrative which has been established across the following eighty years. Set out by the leader of the ‘Few’ himself, its authoritative tone could surely be considered a definitive outline of the battle, how it was fought and the eventual outcome. It even retrospectively set the dates for the commencement and conclusion of the campaign. In this work, Andy Saunders takes a critical look at Dowding’s despatch and analyses the facts and details contained in that important document. He also puts ‘flesh on the bones’ of the matters that the former commander-in-chief of RAF Fighter Command outlines, adding intriguing historical detail and perspective to the 1946 publication. Additionally, Andy looks at the behind-the-scenes machinations at the highest levels of government and Air Ministry before the despatch finally saw the light of day. As a historical document, Dowding’s London Gazette despatch is worthy of the critical analysis and factual expansion which the author provides in what is a uniquely different look at the Battle of Britain, with illustrations throughout.
Download or read book Set the Night on Fire written by Mike Davis and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2021-04-13 with total page 809 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los Angeles Times Bestseller This riveting tour through 1960s Los Angeles is a “history from below, in the very best sense” as it celebrates the “grassroots heroes and struggles” of the social movements of the era (Barbara Ehrenreich, author of Natural Causes). “Authoritative and impressive.” —Los Angeles Times “Monumental.” —Guardian Los Angeles in the sixties was a hotbed of political and social upheaval. The city was a launchpad for Black Power—where Malcolm X and Angela Davis first came to prominence and the Watts uprising shook the nation. The city was home to the Chicano Blowouts and Chicano Moratorium, as well as being the birthplace of “Asian American” as a political identity. It was a locus of the antiwar movement, gay liberation movement, and women’s movement, and, of course, the capital of California counterculture. Mike Davis and Jon Wiener provide the first comprehensive movement history of L.A. in the sixties, drawing on extensive archival research and dozens of interviews with principal figures, as well as the authors’ storied personal histories as activists. Following on from Davis’s award-winning L.A. history, City of Quartz, Set the Night on Fire is a historical tour de force, delivered in scintillating and fiercely beautiful prose.

Download or read book Fighting Viet Cong in the Rung Sat written by Bob Worthington and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2021-11-10 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Vietnam War was not going well in 1968. The January Tet Offensive--a tactical defeat but strategic victory for North Vietnam--showed the U.S. military and the American public that the enemy remained determined, no nearer defeat. Americans grew war weary while politicians and military leaders could not agree on how to win or how to withdraw. Between combat tours, the author served as a U.S. Army company commander--a job he came to despise. Experiencing what he perceived as a degradation in the Army's senior command, he resigned his commission. Yet he needed money to complete graduate school and volunteered to return to Vietnam as a combat advisor. This memoir describes his participation in the fiercest fighting of the war, on the Cambodian border, where he almost died of hookworm and was shot in a night operation. In Saigon to recuperate, he was tasked with creating an advisory team to train South Vietnamese commandos to conduct raids in the swamps south of Saigon, the Rung Sat Special Zone. For seven months they were successful, with Worthington receiving seven combat decorations.
