Download or read book Enemy of the State written by Vince Flynn and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-09-05 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “In the world of black-op thrillers, Mitch Rapp continues to be among the best of the best” (Booklist, starred review), and he returns in the #1 New York Times bestselling series alone and targeted by a country that is supposed to be one of America’s closest allies. After 9/11, the United States made one of the most secretive and dangerous deals in its history—the evidence against the powerful Saudis who coordinated the attack would be buried and in return, King Faisal would promise to keep the oil flowing and deal with the conspirators in his midst. But when the king’s own nephew is discovered funding ISIS, the furious President gives Rapp his next mission: he must find out more about the high-level Saudis involved in the scheme and kill them. The catch? Rapp will get no support from the United States. Forced to make a decision that will change his life forever, Rapp quits the CIA and assembles a group of independent contractors to help him complete the mission. They’ve barely begun unraveling the connections between the Saudi government and ISIS when the brilliant new head of the intelligence directorate discovers their efforts. With Rapp getting too close, he threatens to go public with the details of the post-9/11 agreement between the two countries. Facing an international incident that could end his political career, the President orders America’s intelligence agencies to join the Saudis’ effort to hunt the former CIA man down. Rapp, supported only by a team of mercenaries with dubious allegiances, finds himself at the center of the most elaborate manhunt in history. With white-knuckled twists and turns leading to “an explosive climax” (Publishers Weekly), Enemy of the State is an unputdownable thrill ride that will keep you guessing until the final page.
Download or read book Godwar Hell Rising written by D.K. Cherian and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-02-28 with total page 601 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life. This is an area about which man has the greatest knowledge. However it is only a pit stop for the human race. What lies before and beyond this little pit stop is open to heavy debate. In fact most people take birth to be the beginning. Death on the other hand is spoken of as being either a full stop for the person or a continuation of life’s journey to somewhere in the unknown. This has given rise to religion. A set of rules was created to explain the unexplainable and this code of morals governed our journey to either a wondrous existence in Heaven or to the fiery confines of Hell. But this book is not dealing with theology. It relates to History – Egyptian History to be more specific – it is the chronicle of events that unfolded during the reign of King Hatshepsut of the Egyptian Empire almost one thousand five hundred years before the birth of Christ. To understand the ancient Egyptians, we must grasp their concepts of earth, heaven and hell. Their life was ruled by their religion.

Download or read book Know Your Enemy written by David C. Engerman and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2009-11-20 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As World War II ended, few Americans in government or universities knew much about the Soviet Union. As David Engerman shows in this book, a network of scholars, soldiers, spies, and philanthropists created an enterprise known as Soviet Studies to fill in this dangerous gap in American knowledge. This group brought together some of the nation's best minds from the left, right, and center, colorful and controversial individuals ranging from George Kennan to Margaret Mead to Zbigniew Brzezinski, not to mention historians Sheila Fitzpatrick and Richard Pipes. Together they created the knowledge that helped fight the Cold War and define Cold War thought. Soviet Studies became a vibrant intellectual enterprise, studying not just the Soviet threat, but Soviet society and culture at a time when many said that these were contradictions in terms, as well as Russian history and literature. And this broad network, Engerman argues, forever changed the relationship between the government and academe, connecting the Pentagon with the ivory tower in ways that still matter today.
Download or read book The Insolent Enemy written by D.E. Butters and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-08-31 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The War of 1812 was considered the Second War of Independence for the United States of America. Britain was flexing her might on the high seas and war became inevitable for the new Republic to prove its worth to the world. The Canada’s were a prime target for the young nation. Many of its inhabitants were of American stock and were actually considered near cousins by many. It was to be a short march north of the border with the expectation that the Canadians would flock to the American flag to overthrow the oppressive British rule. That the British nearly lost the war, at the outset, is true. The two nations entered a conflict from which they would ultimately become friends. At the very outset, an elite group of frontiersmen were handed the best weapon that America could produce and sent to the border to annoy the British and prosecute the war in Northern New York. Their story and the story of the commanding officer, Benjamin Forsyth, is the basis for this tale. Almost all of it is fact or fiction that could have been true had we been transported to that time two hundred years ago and really knew what had transpired. On the surface it may have appeared that Lieutenant-Colonel Forsyth was a man-killer and a brute, as some have described him but is that so? Or is it the sour grapes of enemies vanquished? It is known that the men of the First Regiment of Rifles fought hard and that the troops in that Regiment were the bravest of men, assets firmly described by many of their contemporaries. Their enemies described the Rifle Regiment as looters and freebooters but were they any more so than their peers on either side of the conflict? Discipline was scarce in the Regiment, but these were men of the forests, used to forest warfare, ideal skirmishers and crack shots. They were led from the front by a man they all worshipped and how could any other have earned that grudging respect, without being a peerless and fearless leader? Nelson had it, Napoleon had it and I think Forsyth had it. Enjoy a recounting of the exploits of the First US Regiment of Rifles, led by the indomitable Benjamin Forsyth, pioneer from Stokes County, North Carolina. He and his beloved Rifle Regiment take point in the line of battle along the St. Lawrence River in Northern New York and later on the Niagara Peninsula. He leads a Forlorn Hope in the taking of York, now Toronto and is almost blown to Kingdom Come and rebounds to lead his men in a similar attack on Fort George. Gananoque, Brockville, Ogdensburg, Stony Creek, French Creek, Hoople’s Creek and Lake Champlain are among the names of the numerous battles where he and his men fought the Redcoats toe to toe. Be reminded of the steps along the way where two great nations fought each other to a standstill. That they have remained friends since those times makes the losses on either side more poignant. These are times worth remembering and men worth honoring on the brink of the two hundred year anniversary of War of 1812.

Download or read book An Enemy Such as This written by David Correia and published by Haymarket Books. This book was released on 2022-04-26 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The remarkable true story of an Indigenous family who fought back, over multiple generations, against the world-destroying power of settler colonial violence. Just weeks before police would kill him in Gallup, New Mexico, in March of 1973, Larry Casuse wrote that “never before have we faced an enemy such as this.” An Enemy Such as This, for the first time, tells the history of that colonial enemy through the simultaneously epic and intimate story of Larry Casuse and those, like him, who fought against it. From the genocidal Mexican war against the Apaches in the nineteenth century, through the collapse of European empires in the first half of the twentieth century, and culminating in the efforts of young Navajo activists and organizers in the second half of the twentieth century to confront settler colonialism in New Mexico, the book offers a resolutely Native-focused history of colonialism.
