Book excerpt: Malaya, 1951. It is the Malayan Emergency and a British major, commanding a rifle company of Gurkhas, is woken in the small hours by a call from Special Branch with the six-figure grid reference of a large party of communist guerrillas. The line is poor, the army man is hung over and the location is written down incorrectly. But Dame Fortune, that ever fickle lady, also decrees that the Special Branch information is out-of-date, and the communists are some way away so that against millions of odds the two parties meet up and the guerrillas suffer their greatest loss of the Emergency. The story of what would become the tipping point of the Malayan Emergency in favour of the security forces is retold against a background of events in Moscow, Darjeeling, Delhi and Calcutta, where senior communist party members plot to infiltrate Gurkha units and destabilise Malaya. It is up to Captain Rance of the Gurkhas and his Chinese friend, a mole in the politburo, to overturn these plots before communism gains the upper hand in a Malaya aiming for self-rule. Operation Tipping Point is the eighth in a series of books involving Gurkha military units that may be read in any order.

Download or read book Deep in the Shadows written by Hipólito Acosta and published by Arte Público Press. This book was released on 2017-03-31 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “You have a lot of enemies, Hipólito. I heard rumors in jail that some of the people you busted are going to try to kill you, so you better watch yourself.” U.S. Special Agent Hipólito Acosta had put lots of thugs in jail, but the death threat from an imprisoned convict was still a shock. Acosta recounts his often-dangerous exploits as a law enforcement agent over more than 30 years, which frequently included going undercover as a human smuggler or an undocumented immigrant. He targeted those who took advantage of immigrants, stuffing them into car trunks for hours-long drives from the border to the north; counterfeiters who, for the right price, provided false social security cards and other papers; and even corrupt agents who earned significant financial rewards on the backs of desperate migrants. Though catching drug dealers wasn’t in his job description, when the opportunity to take them down presented itself, Acosta enthusiastically complied—even if he had to do it without the support of governmental agencies. And later in his career, diplomatic postings in the Philippines and Mexico expanded his experience with immigration issues. This exciting memoir of a life spent in pursuit of human traffickers is an eye-opening look at smugglers and other criminals involved in the sale of counterfeit documents, narcotics and weapons.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Something big is going down, real hush-hush. All I've got so far is a code name...Anteater mentioned it last month in Khe Sanh-thought it had something to do with nukes in the hands of the NVA, but wasn't sure-and now he's dead...I'll keep you posted. Only seven weeks have passed since author and journalist Roger Burnett, on assignment in Vietnam, stumbled upon a backstreet rumor about a mysterious organization known as Black Rose. The trail is long and complex, but the time span is brief for Burnett and an international team of associates to expose the growing conspiracy of those whose goal is to establish a permanent wartime economy in America-via provocation, via bold aggression, via any means possible-especially if it might force a war with China. About the Author: In the mid-Sixties, P. L. Nelson worked in an industry that was financed by the U.S. government to investigate and research means and systems of delivery for various chemical warfare agents. By 1967, he had managed an accidental glimpse or two of classified Intelligence projects, which served to tweak his imagination and set him on a course of fiction writing.The Incessant Voice of War grew out of Nelson's interest in history and politics, and in examining how people respond to severe challenges that test their integrity. Nelson currently lives in Colorado City, Colorado, where he is working on a book of poetry and essays based on his explorations of the American West.

Book excerpt: It is September, 1940, and the Battle of Britain is not going well for the Germans. The RAF Spitfire, powered with a high performance carburetor made with platinum parts, is outperforming the Messerschmitt. Gold and platinum, smuggled out of the Andes in 1939 by a German elite force, lies at the bottom of the Caribbean Sea off Margarita Island. Retrieval of this strategic ore will allow the Germans to refit their fighters with a new ignition system and reverse their declining fortunes. Adolph Hitler himself authorizes a mission, code named Black Eagle, to recover the sunken gold and platinum from the sea bottom and return it to Germany. With the aid of the IRA and an Irish marine recovery vessel and specialists, the German mission, comprising an armed tender and two U-boats, play a game of blind mans bluff with British and American forces, the Germans intent on recovering the sunken cargo, the Allies intent on stopping it. Professor Jack Ford, a group of British commandoes and a patched-together Allied naval force of subs and surface craft are all that stand in the way of a successful German mission. The challenge on both sides is filled with twists of events making it uncertain who to trust and which way to turn. Anything is possible.
