Book excerpt: Former Air Force captain and New York Times bestselling author Dale Brown is an acknowledged master when it comes to bringing military action to breathtaking life and he has received glowing accolades since his debut publication, Flight of the Old Dog. Tiger’s Claw proves once again that every rave has been well deserved. Set in the near future, Tiger’s Claw imagines a scenario in which tensions escalate between an economically powerful China and a United States weakened by a massive economic downfall, bringing the two superpowers to the brink of total destruction. Brown’s popular protagonist, retired Air Force lieutenant-general Patrick McLanahan (of A Time for Patriots, Rogue Forces, and other Brown bestsellers), is back with his son Brad McLanahan and they’re preparing for the impending apocalyptic clash of men and military technology. The incomparable Dale Brown scores again with a frighteningly possible story of war and global politics that’s ideal for fans of Vince Flynn and Brad Thor.

Download or read book Outlaw Woman written by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2014-03-20 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1968, Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz helped found the Women’s Liberation Movement, part of what has been called the second wave of feminism in the United States. Along with a small group of dedicated women in Boston, she produced the first women’s liberation journal, No More Fun and Games. Dunbar-Ortiz was also an antiwar and anti-racist activist and organizer throughout the 1960s and early 1970s and a fiery, tireless public speaker on issues of patriarchy, capitalism, imperialism, and racism. She worked in Cuba with the Venceremos Brigade and formed associations with other revolutionaries across the spectrum of radical politics, including the Civil Rights Movement, Students for a Democratic Society, the Revolutionary Union, the African National Congress, and the American Indian Movement. Unlike most of those involved in the New Left, Dunbar-Ortiz grew up poor, female, and part–Native American in rural Oklahoma, and she often found herself at odds not only with the ruling class but also with the Left and with the women’s movement. Dunbar-Ortiz’s odyssey from Oklahoma poverty to the urban New Left gives a working-class, feminist perspective on a time and a movement that forever changed American society. In a new afterword, the author reflects on her fast-paced life fifty years ago, in particular as a movement activist and in relationships with men.

Download or read book Range War written by J.L. Crafts and published by Speaking Volumes. This book was released on with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Will Toal had been told his entire family had been killed at the close of the Civil War. Here he finds out that was not entirely true. He has a sister that not only survived but has moved to Nevada not far from his ranch. But his sister has traveled with a beau who is determined to start ranching in the middle of Nevada’s open range. Across the west, large ranch owners had long standing permits to graze cattle on the same open stretches of public land available for homesteads. Those ranch owners let their cattle roam. Unbranded new calves, called mavericks, were collected only during spring roundups. However, homesteaders also collected these new foundlings viewed legally as “public property” in some states, yet the automatic property of stock growers associations in others. The combination of these competing legal and economic interests spanned the entire industry stoking the fires of anger, greed, politics, and the law. When his newly found sister finds herself threatened with the worst kind of violence, Will gets involved only to become a target himself. Wealthy ranch owners and hundreds of local townspeople square off. It takes the U.S. Military by order of the country’s President to separate the combatants. After the legal system could not provide a resolution, Will is forced to re-establish the simple principles of right and wrong and end the Range War himself.
