Download or read book Undercover in the Jungle written by John Bowen and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book is an absorbing and detailed account of eighteen months spent on the Burma frontier very often behind enemy lines and always in appalling jungle conditions. The author, as an officer with a secret and irregular military unit called V Force, was parachuted into the hills above the Siamese frontier with Force 136 (a branch of the Special Operations Executive) and his task was to organise local resistance groups to harass the Japanese. He vividly recaptures the rigours of jungle warfare with small groups of guerillas when weeks at a time were spent away from base camp beset by leeches, jungle sores and monsoon rainfall. This is not a book about large scale operations but rather about daring skirmishes and ambushes carried out in wild and enemy-held country." --Jacket flap.

Download or read book Author Under Sail written by Jay Williams and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2021-02 with total page 804 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Author Under Sail: The Imagination of Jack London, 1902–1907, Jay Williams explores Jack London’s necessity to illustrate the inner workings of his vast imagination. In this second installment of a three-volume biography, Williams captures the life of a great writer expressed though his many creative works, such as The Call of the Wild and White Fang, as well as his first autobiographical memoir, The Road, some of his most significant contributions to the socialist cause, and notable uncompleted works. During this time, London became one of the most famous authors in America, perhaps even the author with the highest earnings, as he prepared to become an equally famous international writer. Author Under Sail documents London’s life in both a biographical and writerly fashion, depicting the importance of his writing experiences as his career followed a trajectory similar to America’s from 1876 to 1916. The underground forces of London’s narratives were shaped by a changing capitalist society, media outlets, racial issues, increases in women’s rights, and advancements in national power. Williams factors in these elements while exploring London’s deeply conflicted relationship with his own authorial inner life. In London’s work, the imagination is figured as a ghost or as a ghostlike presence, and the author’s personas, who form a dense population among his characters, are portrayed as haunted or troubled in some way. Along with examining the functions and works of London’s exhaustive imagination, Williams takes a critical look at London’s ability to tell his stories to wide arrays of audiences, stitching incidents together into coherent wholes so they became part of a raconteur’s repertoire. Author Under Sail provides a multidimensional examination of the life of a crucial American storyteller and essayist.

Download or read book Three of the First written by Hilton Owens Dr. and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2011-08-03 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hilton Owens, Sr., one of the first African American special agents in the Internal Revenue Service, offers a unique glimpse into the intriguing world of undercover IRS operations. Owens chronicles his story, and those of fellow African American special agents William E. Mannie and Frederick L. Sleet, in Three of the First. The agents survival was solely dependant on their wits and, on occasion, their government-issued .38s. The first years were rough, and early undercover operations seemed destined to fail. The agents drove their own cars, carried no fake IDs, and had to rely on winnings at the gambling establishments they infiltrated to fund their shoestring investigations., Despite the obstacles, however, they successfully toppled several large illegal gambling operations. Throughout their careers, the three men faced challenges related to family, politics, and race, but all three advanced up the career ladder, eventually gaining supervisory positions. With their knowledge and experience, they assisted in formalizing undercover operations for the IRS. Three of the First introduces three IRS pioneers who will be remembered as important figures in both black history and government service.
