Marvel with them as they visit the Roman ruins of Jordan, the lush gardens and colorful temples of Bali, the tulips and historic sites of Holland and the exotic wildlife and scenery of East Africa. During the author's 23-year career as a Foreign Service Officer the United States was engaged in the dangerous "Cold War" rivalry with the Soviet Union. His job was to conduct public affairs programs designed to present America's side of the story and to persuade audiences that democracy and a free market economy work better than Communism. The author applies lessons learned during his Foreign Service career to many of the critical international issues facing America today, and provides guidelines enabling any citizen to arrive at a reasoned opinion on foreign policies in his special supplement, "JUDGING AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY." In his twice-decorated diplomatic career, Frederic Mabbatt (called "Tony" by family and friends) served, with his wife and two children, in The Sudan, Jordan, Brazil, Tanzania, Indonesia and The Netherlands. He and his wife Jean now live in Sun Valley, Idaho, where he applies lessons learned during his Foreign Service career to lecture and write about contemporary foreign policy issues. Mabbatt is a graduate of the University of San Diego and studied International Relations at San Diego State University. He served in the United States Marine Corps, worked as a copywriter for the San Diego Convention and Visitors Bureau and was Assistant Public Relations Director for the San Diego Zoo prior to his appointment to the Foreign Service on January 7, 1963.

Download or read book Adventures of a Cold War Fast Jet Navigator written by David Herriot and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2017-10-30 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An RAF navigator’s lively, candid memoir of flying low and living fast during the Cold War years. David Herriot served almost forty years in the Royal Air Force as a navigator, first on the Buccaneer S2 and subsequently on the Tornado GR1. This volume recounts his early career operating the Buccaneer on three operational flying tours, plus a tour as an instructor on the Operational Conversion Unit. With almost 2500 hours on an aircraft that was operated at high speed, in all weathers and at ultra-low level, his task in the rear seat was a demanding one. But Herriot was more than just the guy in the back of a Buccaneer; he was, quite routinely, and often to the exasperation of his seniors, the life and soul of any party that was taking place either at home base or when overseas defending the flanks of NATO. This is an epic adventure for the aviation enthusiast, particularly those with affection for the Blackburn Buccaneer, and it provides a great deal more than the usual introduction to a specific aircraft type and the people who flew it. Here you’ll find an absolute insight into life on a fast-jet squadron, at work and mischievous play during the Cold War—and you’ll also be introduced to some of the modern RAF’s greatest characters.

Book excerpt: "[O]ne role Mr. Train played [was] the jocund hobbyist who ambled into bookish success. He helped found the literary quarterly The Paris Review with other Ivy Leaguers while bopping around Paris in the 1950s, and he wrote books on eccentric topics aside from names, like the cultural histories of oranges and Oriental rug symbols. Yet he was also an operator in high finance and world affairs who, by one researcher's account, had ties to U.S. secret services. Mr. Train founded and ran a leading financial firm devoted to preserving the money of rich families, and he worked to support the mujahedeen in their fight against the Soviet Union in the 1980s. The multifariousness of his career defies definition, but one quality did underlie his many activities. Mr. Train exemplified the attitudes and values of the exalted class he was born into: the white Anglo-Saxon Protestants of the postwar era." --

Download or read book Cold written by Ranulph Fiennes and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-11-07 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are only few human beings who can adapt, survive and thrive in the coldest regions on earth. And below a certain temperature, death is inevitable. Sir Ranulph Fiennes has spent much of his life exploring and working in conditions of extreme cold. The loss of many of his fingers to frostbite is a testament to the horrors man is exposed to at such perilous temperatures. With the many adventures he has led over the past 40 years, testing his limits of endurance to the maximum, he deservedly holds the title of 'the world's greatest explorer'. Despite our technological advances, the Arctic, the Antarctic and the highest mountains on earth, remain some of the most dangerous and unexplored areas of the world. This remarkable book reveals the chequered history of man's attempts to discover and understand these remote areas of the planet, from the early voyages of discovery of Cook, Ross, Weddell, Amundsen, Shackleton and Franklin to Sir Ranulph's own extraordinary feats; from his adventuring apprenticeship on the Greenland Ice Cap, to masterminding over the past five years the first crossing of the Antarctic during winter, where temperatures regularly plummeted to minus 92ºC. Both historically questioning and intensely personal, Cold is a celebration of a life dedicated to researching and exploring some of the most hostile and brutally cold places on earth.
