Book excerpt: "Phantom Soldier" is now on the U.S. Army's most prestigious pre-deployment reading list for a reason. It won't please those who have come to believe that wars are won and casualties limited through technology, or that the victor's version of one is always correct. But, all U.S. security personnel should read it. Possibly the West's best treatise on Oriental warfare, it sheds new light on what Asian infantry can do: (1) alternate between guerrilla, mobile, and positional warfare; (2) use "ordinary forces" to engage and "extraordinary forces [infiltrators]" to defeat; and then (3) retreat to save lives. What occurred in history doesn't change, but one's perception of it does--as he comes to better understand his former foe. Here's what really happened at Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima, Chosin Reservoir, and Hue City. Those who believe this book's cover art to be fantasy have only to google the term "dac cong." Through how the NVA held their own without resupply, tanks, artillery, or air power, U.S. grunts could better survive the more lethal enemy weaponry of the 21st Century.

Book excerpt: In 1940 a group of artists, sculptors, film makers, theatre designers and set painters came together to form the Camouflage Unit. They were so successful that in August 1942 Montgomery ordered them to to hide the preparations for the Battle of Alamein. In six weeks two entire divisions were conjured from the sand, while real units, stores and men vanished into thin air. Then, right in front of the German's eyes they made 600 tanks disappear and reappear fifty miles away disguised as lorries. Rommel had been bamboozled by an army made of nothing but string and straw and bits of wood.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A riveting tale told through personal accounts and sketches along the way—ultimately, a story of success against great odds. I enjoyed it enormously.” —Tom Brokaw The first book to tell the full story of how a traveling road show of artists wielding imagination, paint, and bravado saved thousands of American lives—now updated with new material. In the summer of 1944, a handpicked group of young GIs—artists, designers, architects, and sound engineers, including such future luminaries as Bill Blass, Ellsworth Kelly, Arthur Singer, Victor Dowd, Art Kane, and Jack Masey—landed in France to conduct a secret mission. From Normandy to the Rhine, the 1,100 men of the 23rd Headquarters Special Troops, known as the Ghost Army, conjured up phony convoys, phantom divisions, and make-believe headquarters to fool the enemy about the strength and location of American units. Every move they made was top secret, and their story was hushed up for decades after the war's end. Hundreds of color and black-and-white photographs, along with maps, official memos, and letters, accompany Rick Beyer and Elizabeth Sayles’s meticulous research and interviews with many of the soldiers, weaving a compelling narrative of how an unlikely team carried out amazing battlefield deceptions that saved thousands of American lives and helped open the way for the final drive to Germany. The stunning art created between missions also offers a glimpse of life behind the lines during World War II. This updated edition includes: A new afterword by co-author Rick Beyer Never-before-seen additional images The successful campaign to have the unit awarded a Congressional Gold Medal History and WWII enthusiasts will find The Ghost Army of World War II an essential addition to their library.

Download or read book Ghosts at War written by Paul Gater and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-06-13 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone loves a ghost story - especially if it is true. 'Ghost Hunter' Paul Gater recounts here how far more people than is realized have encountered ghostly soldiers - from Roman to Roundhead, red-coat to mud-stained 'Tommy' from WWI or the phantom pilot from WW2. Evidence suggests that many linger not only as individuals but en mass, shocked, deeply traumatized, their spirits trapped by fear and terror that still haunts the sites of old battlefields from many periods throughout history. Roman soldiers 'still on duty'; Viking warriors and Norman knights protecting their land; princes and kings; ghostly replays that have taken place of events during and after both the English and American Civil Wars and the two great World Wars - all can be found in this thrilling collection.

Download or read book The Perfect War written by James William Gibson and published by Open Road + Grove/Atlantic. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 844 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Powerfully and persuasively . . . Gibson tells us why we were in Vietnam . . . a work of daring brilliance—an eye-opening chronicle of waste and self-delusion.” —Robert Olen Butler In this groundbreaking book, James William Gibson shatters the misled assumptions behind both liberal and conservative explanations for America’s failure in Vietnam. Gibson shows how American government and military officials developed a disturbingly limited concept of war—what he calls “technowar”—in which all efforts were focused on maximizing the enemy’s body count, regardless of the means. Consumed by a blind faith in the technology of destruction, American leaders failed to take into account their enemy’s highly effective guerrilla tactics. Indeed, technowar proved woefully inapplicable to the actual political and military strategies used by the Vietnamese, and Gibson reveals how US officials consistently falsified military records to preserve the illusion that their approach would prevail. Gibson was one of the first historians to question the fundamental assumptions behind American policy, and The Perfect War is a brilliant reassessment of the war—now republished with a new introduction by the author. “This book towers above all that has been written to date on Vietnam.” —LA Weekly

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BIRDS OF A FEATHER, is the third in an ongoing series of books about the rivalry of two brothers: Michael the Archangel and his exiled sibling, Lucifer. In volume three, we follow the lives of two young men mentioned in the other books. The book traces the violent history of Mitch Garfield, a former Marine and espionage agent and the rather more sedate life of Todd Bechtold, raised in Hollywood and more at home with art and music that violence. Nevertheless, inexorably, these two are drawn together and, serendipitously, wind up in Scajaquada where the battle between the two brothers is being waged. The backgrounds of both men serve to prepare them for their part in this battle and their courage and resilience under enormous pressure surprises even them. Though Mitch, as the apparently stronger of the two, assumes the role of protector to his younger mate, he soon learns that Todd has strength he, himself, lacks. The strength of both will be needed and tested when Lucifer's ongoing campaign to initiate The Rule of Chaos on Earth begins to heat up with Mitch and Todd caught in the middle. How they handle this ongoing threat to mankind remains to be seen as future volumes will show. Despite the subject matter, this series is NOT religious, though it does contain religious elements and characters, casting many in a new light. As the story opens, Mitch is still a High School student with hopes of making something of himself. Fate intervenes, however, and the young man finds himself in a role that's foreign to him. As Mitch fights his way through Korea, a young man named Todd is growing up in Hollywood--hostile and disillusioned. While Todd attends College and meets some rather amazing people, Mitch winds up in the inferno of Vietnam where he and the unflappable Captain Truckner meet an uncompromising fate. Both the soldier and the art aficionado, however, receive help and guidance from a strange source: Mitch through a mysterious "Phantom Soldier" who twice saves him from death and Todd through the unlikely agency of a Voodoo priestess. These two disparate individuals finally come together and realize they are soul-mates. Their union leads them to Scajaquada and a rendezvous with destiny.....and Lucifer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sci-fi is very popular these days. We love our tech gadgets that do wonders that seem like miracles or magic. We can't get enough of it, in books, in movies and on television. We are on a train that no one knows for sure where it's leading us. Will technology be used to help us gain better control over our lives or will our lives become controlled by technology instead. What if the answer was both? The former wouldn't be cause for alarm but, the latter would be. Just how is technology going to control our lives and will it hurt? Tell No Lies But Keep Secrets takes the reader on a journey that's filled on the future of mankind and where technology should fit into the schema of man's existence. Tell No Lies But Keep Secrets is an action thriller with action scenes and fight scenes that would look awesome on the big screen. There are some unexpected twisted to the unusual fight scenes in the action thriller spy genre. What I like most about this story is, besides writing it, is the technology. Much of the technology in Tell No Lies But keep Secrets is fringe science but, some of it actually does exist with only bits of the full scope of the technology having been released to the public such as mind reading technologies. The future tech that was created for this story does not exist today but, there is a great possibility that it some day could. Tell No Lies But Keep will have the reader think about technology and its place amongst us. The reader is also taken on a journey that will have them pondering on what are the real truths and what are created truths of their very own existence.
