Book excerpt: W. Bruce Kippen trained as a pilot and flight engineer with the Royal Canadian Air Force, before attending McGill University, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce Degree majoring in Economics. His subsequent career studies of leaders in industry, finance, and politics in Canada, the U.S.A., and England has led him to write an intriguing novel relating to historical events narrating the career paths of three dynamic entrepreneurs over a fifty-year period. As a long-time member of the Montreal and Toronto Stock Exchanges, and head of the investment firm, Kippen and Company, Inc., he has been instrumental in financing a number of industrial and natural-resource enterprises; including, as a co-founder with a long-time college associate, the formidable base metal mine, Brunswick Mining and Smelting Corporation, now owned by Noranda Mines, Ltd. This was followed by several oil-and-gas-producing companies in Western Canada, which matured into Norcen Energy Resources Ltd., recently acquired by Union Pacific of California for over two billion dollars; and Unican Security Systems, Ltd., a five hundred thousand dollar financing, acquired twenty-five years later by Kaba Holding, A.G., of Italy, for six hundred and fifty million dollars. The firm also assisted in the financing of Great Canadian Oil Sand, Ltd., now Suncor Energy Inc., the pioneer developer of Alberta's Athabasca oil sands reservoir, now producing over six hundred thousand barrels of oil per day. His career experiences as a company founder, corporate executive, investment banker, and political activist, has been the genesis of his novel' Lords of the Frontier, narrating the careers of three dynamic young men, from their youthful, impecunious years on the western frontier, through the vicissitudes of war, booms, and depression in North America and England, from 1890, through the first forty-two years of the turbulent twentieth century.

Download or read book Drug Lords Cowboys and Desperadoes written by Rafael Acosta Morales and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2021-06-15 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drug Lords, Cowboys, and Desperadoes examines how historical archetypes in violent narratives on the Mexican American frontier have resulted in political discourse that feeds back into real violence. The drug battles, outlaw culture, and violence that permeate the U.S.-Mexican frontier serve as scenery and motivation for a wide swath of North American culture. In this innovative study, Rafael Acosta Morales ties the pride that many communities felt for heroic tales of banditry and rebels to the darker repercussions of the violence inflicted by the representatives of the law or the state. Narratives on bandits, cowboys, and desperadoes promise redistribution, regeneration, and community, but they often bring about the very opposite of those goals. This paradox is at the heart of Acosta Morales’s book. Drug Lords, Cowboys, and Desperadoes examines the relationship between affect, narrative, and violence surrounding three historical archetypes—social bandits (often associated with the drug trade), cowboys, and desperadoes—and how these narratives create affective loops that recreate violent structures in the Mexican American frontier. Acosta Morales analyzes narrative in literary, cinematic, and musical form, examining works by Américo Paredes, Luis G. Inclán, Clint Eastwood, Rolando Hinojosa, Yuri Herrera, and Cormac McCarthy. The book focuses on how narratives of Mexican social banditry become incorporated into the social order that bandits rose against and how representations of violence in the U.S. weaponize narratives of trauma in order to justify and expand the violence that cowboys commit. Finally, it explains the usage of universality under the law as a means of criminalizing minorities by reading the stories of Mexican American men who were turned into desperadoes by the criminal law system. Drug Lords, Cowboys, and Desperadoes demonstrates how these stories led to recreated violence and criminalization of minorities, a conversation especially important during this time of recognizing social inequality and social injustices. The book is part of a growing body of scholarship that applies theoretical approaches to borderlands studies, and it will be of interest to students and scholars in American and Mexican history and literature, border studies, literary criticism, cultural criticism, and related fields.

Book excerpt: In a zone of lawlessness, vengeance has no borders…An action-packed novella by the New York Times-bestselling author of Tom Clancy Power and Empire. It’s called the Triple Frontier—the volatile border zone between Paraguay, Brazil, and Argentina, one of the most lawless and deadly regions in the world. It’s a corrupt sanctuary where drug lords, Middle Eastern terrorists, slave traders, and dozens of other violent gangs operate with little or no interference from the law. For special agent Jericho Quinn, it’s the crossroads of hell. Especially when his younger brother Bo gets caught in the fire. Enlisted to protect the son of an IT mogul on a South American trip, Bo and his crew disappear after being kidnapped by a ruthless cartel. Jericho amasses a cartel of his own to take on the most vicious criminals on earth—far from home, without U.S. government sanction, and without mercy. Mess with the bull, you get the horns—Jericho Quinn style… “A formidable warrior readers will want to see more of.”—Publishers Weekly

Download or read book The Kachin written by Bertil Lintner and published by Art Media Resources. This book was released on 1997 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Remarkable for their military prowess, their receptivity to Christianity, and their intricate all-embracing kinship network, the Kachins are a hardy mountain people living in the remote hills of northern Burma and on the peripheries of Indian and China. During the Second World War they strongly aided the Allies in defending Burma against the imperialist designs of the Japanese, earning themselves sorbriquets such as 'amiable assassins' and 'Ghurkas of Southeast Asia.' After Burma's independence in 1948, the Kachins were given their own state, but in the early 1960s they went to war again, this time fighting for autonomy for their homeland. For over thirty years, funded largely by the world-renowned jade mines they control, they maintained their armed insurgency, playing a key role in Burma's internecine struggles. In 1994 the Kachins signed a cease-fire agreement which they hope marks the start of an era of peace.
