Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cuba's number three official today - Commander Juan Almeida - was secretly working with JFK in November 1963 to overthrow Fidel. The U.S. government recently revealed Almeida's work for JFK, allowing the updated trade paperback of Ultimate Sacrifice to tell the full story for the first time (complete with new photos and documents). The authors obtained the story from almost two dozen associates of John and Robert Kennedy, starting in 1990 with JFK's Secretary of State Dean Rusk. Their accounts are supported by thousands of newly-released files at the National Archives. Almeida's ''palace coup,'' set for December 1, 1963, was to be backed up by U.S. forces ''invited'' in by Commander Almeida, then Chief of the Cuban Army. However, three Mafia bosses being targeted by Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy used several CIA assets to infiltrate the secret plot and murder JFK. This resulted in cover-ups by officials like RFK and LBJ, to prevent the exposure of Almeida and a possible nuclear confrontation with the Soviets. The new edition explains why Almeida was not a double agent, why Fidel suspected Almeida's ally Che Guevara, and what Fidel did in 1990 when he finally found out about Almeida's work for JFK.

Download or read book The Ultimate Sacrifice written by Clayton Fordahl and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-03-05 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an interpretive, macro-historical, and sociological account of martyrdom. Moving away from the notion of martyrdom as an object of individual behavior and seeing it instead as a significant cultural work performed by communities in the wake of a violent death, it provides a novel interpretation of Western political and religious history. In addition to thus redressing the disproportionate attention given to the concept’s relationship to Islam, the author offers a new perspective on two defining historical processes: secularization and the rise of modern sovereignty in the form of the nation-state. An innovative analysis of the role of sacrifice in contemporary culture, which constitutes a timely critique of long-dominant theories of disenchantment and the privatization of religion, The Ultimate Sacrifice will appeal to sociologists and social theorists with interests in religion, politics, and the connection between the two.

Book excerpt: Go deep into SEAL Team SIX, straight to the heart of one of its most legendary operators. When Navy SEAL Adam Brown woke up on March 17, 2010, he didn’t know he would die that night in the Hindu Kush Mountains of Afghanistan—but he was ready. In a letter to his children, not meant to be seen unless the worst happened, he wrote, “I’m not afraid of anything that might happen to me on this earth, because I know no matter what, nothing can take my spirit from me.” Fearless is the story of a man of extremes, whose courage and determination were fueled by faith, family, and the love of a woman. It’s about a man who waged a war against his own worst impulses, including drug addiction, and persevered to reach the top tier of the U.S. military. In a deeply personal and absorbing chronicle, Fearless reveals a glimpse inside the SEAL Team SIX brotherhood, and presents an indelible portrait of a highly trained warrior whose final act of bravery led to the ultimate sacrifice. Adam Brown was a devoted man who was an unlikely hero but a true warrior, described by all who knew him as…fearless. “As a rule, we don’t endorse books or movies or anything regarding the command where I work—and Adam Brown worked—but as the author writes in Fearless, ‘you have to know the rules, so you know when to bend or break them.’ This is one of those times. Read this book. Period. It succeeds where all the others have failed.” —SEAL Team SIX Operator

Coming Sweetest Day 2007! Chapter 23 Braid my Hair! "You still coming through to braid my hair?" Terrell asked me when I called him. "I was just calling you to let you know I'd be there in an hour and tell you to make sure you wash it before I get there," I told him, as I ironed my clothes. "You already know I'm on point. I just got done washing it with that 'Herbal Essence' shampoo and conditioner you gave me. That stuff smells good, but I ain't havin' no orgasm like in the commercial." The both of us had a good laugh at that. "You must be talking to Terrell to be laughing all like that on the phone," Claudea said, as she walked into the room. "And you know it!" I said with a bright smile on my face. "Tell him I said what's up," she said loud enough for him to hear. "I know you heard that with her big mouth," I asked into the phone. "Tell her I said what's the deal," he replied. "He said what's the deal, Claudea." "Tell him he better take good care of my sister or he'll be dealing with me," she playfully said. "Shut up!" I told her. "Tell her we got this under control," Terrell said. "We got this under control," I told her. "He heard what I said," she replied with a roll of her eyes and walked back out of the room. I laughed at my little sister and threw a pillow at her back. "That girl crazy," I said to Terrell. "That's good to know," he replied with a laugh of his own. "Look I'm going to let you get ready and eat me a bowl of Lucky Charms until you get here." "Alright, sweetie, see you soon." I blew him a kiss through the phone and he returned it. When I hung up the phone, Mookie walked into the room smiling. Claudea told me you were spending the weekend with Terrell," she said. "Yeah," I told her with a grin from ear to ear.

When Green Beret Bryan Black was killed in an ambush in Niger in 2017, his wife Michelle saw her worst nightmare become a reality. She was left alone with her grief and with two young sons to raise. But what followed Bryan's death was an even more difficult journey for the young widow. After receiving very few details about the attack that took her husband's life, it was up to Michelle to find answers. It became her mission to learn the truth about that day in Niger--and Sacrifice is the result of that mission. In this heartbreaking and revelatory memoir, Michelle uses exclusive interviews with the survivors of her husband's unit, research into the military leadership and accountability, and her own unique vantage point as a gold-star widow to tell a previously unknown story. Sacrifice is both an honest, emotional look inside a military marriage and a searing investigation of the people and decisions at the heart of the US military.

Book excerpt: It’s never too late to be a better father Jim Daly, president and CEO of Focus on the Family, is an expert in fatherhood—in part because his own "fathers" failed him so badly. His biological dad was an alcoholic. His stepfather deserted him. His foster father accused Jim of trying to kill him. All were out of Jim's life by the time he turned 13. Isn’t it odd—and reminiscent of the hand of God—that the director of the leading organization on family turned out to be a guy whose own background as a kid and son were pretty messed up? Or could it be that successful parenting is discovered not in the perfect, peaceful household but in the midst of battles and messy situations, where God must constantly be called to the scene? That is the mystery unraveled in this book. Using his own expertise, humor, and inexhaustible wealth of stories, Jim will show you that God can make you a good dad, a great dad, in spite of the way you’ve grown up and in spite of the mistakes you’ve made. Maybe even because of them. It’s not about becoming a perfect father. It’s about trying to become a better father, each and every day. It's about building relationships with your children through love, grace, patience, and fun—and helping them grow into the men and women they’re meant to be.
Download or read book The Ultimate Sacrifice written by Rhonda L. Vaughan and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-06-04 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When one thinks of the sacrifice that Jesus made for mankind's salvation, the mind automatically goes to the cross on Calvary, His bloody face from the crown of thorns, His nail-pierced hands and feet, and His cut side from which flowed blood and water. We think of His burial tomb and the spices and fabric used to wrap Him, and we think of that glorious resurrection morning. These things are the center of the history of the world, the focus of all of history, and certainly the center of a Christian's life. But when we stop at the resurrection of Jesus in thinking of His sacrifice, we stop far too short. This book's purpose is to open the readers eyes not only to the multitude of sacrifices that Jesus made, but to the ultimate sacrifice that is almost always overlooked with its life-changing power.
