Book excerpt: They called him Chief. After almost seventeen years in the United States Navy, the United States Army wanted him for duty in Vietnam. A lifetime of an association with boats from Chris Craft in his home town in Michigan, to years at sea and ashore with the Navy, he was now about to jump to the Officer level in the Army from a non-commissioned petty officer rank in the Navy. But boats would continue to be the major factor in his life as he also moved from Cold Warrior to Hot Warrior in an advisory role fro the South Vietnamese, and along the rivers and marshes and jungle of an Asian country at war. There would be live ammunition and dead soldiers, but Thomas J. Highstreet, Warrant Officer 1, wasn't going to waste his energy as a newly appointed warrant officer on matters not within his control. He had only a few years left in his military career and had no intention of allowing them to slip by without a total commitment to the duty he had accepted. He fully believed he would not die trying, he would live doing. He was ready, and, he would survive. He was a warrior.
Download or read book An Uneven Dozen written by Harry Highstreet and published by Harry. This book was released on 2004-07 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part I of this book attributes only one source used for inspiration in creating the stories. It is a Calendar. Each illustration attached to every month of that Calendar, from long, long ago, pleaded for life. If you have never had a character cry out to you begging to become an integral part of an episode so important to that character and its existence, then you have probably slept very comfortably at night. The author did not. Until the final word was written for the final month, and the messages from that Calendar were completed to become a part of an uneven dozen, his nights were restless. Part II is also an uneven dozen. There are only ten stories. Once again the author was faced with a dilemma. This time there was no single source, other than imagination, consisting of experiences, fears, beliefs and, of course, things that go bump in the night.

Book excerpt: Upwards of 20 million Americans served in the military during the Cold War. Few of those have been lauded, honored or even remembered. One of these unsung Cold Warriors stands his watch from midnight to six in the morning on a nuclear powered ballistic missile submarine. As he fights against boredom and weariness, he reflects back on how he got here and his experiences in Vietnam. All this is intermingled with the very serious business of being in charge of one of the country's most lethal deterrents, trying to keep the Cold War from becoming hot.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A man must confront a terrifying evil in this captivating horror novel that's "as much F. Scott Fitzgerald as Dean Koontz."* Haunted by memories of the Great War, failed academic Frank Nichols and his wife have arrived in the sleepy Georgia town of Whitbrow, where Frank hopes to write a history of his family's old estate--the Savoyard Plantation--and the horrors that occurred there. At first their new life seems to be everything they wanted. But under the facade of summer socials and small-town charm, there is an unspoken dread that the townsfolk have lived with for generations. A presence that demands sacrifice. It comes from the shadowy woods across the river, where the ruins of the Savoyard Plantation still stand. Where a long-smoldering debt of blood has never been forgotten. Where it has been waiting for Frank Nichols....

Download or read book Reflections of a Cold Warrior written by Richard Mervin Bissell and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1996-01-01 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard M. Bissell, Jr., the most important CIA spymaster in history, singlehandedly led America's intelligence service from the age of Mata Hari into the space age. Under his guidance the U-2 spy-plane, the SR-71 "Blackbird," and the Corona spy satellite were developed, and the agency rose to the pinnacle of its power. Bissell was also, however, the architect of the infamous Bay of Pigs operation that failed to overthrow Castro in 1961 and led to the decline of the CIA. In this compelling memoir, Bissell gives us an insider's view of the personalities, policies, and historical forces surrounding these and other covert operations and the lessons learned during those times of conflict.Bissell begins by describing his early years as a member of America's unofficial aristocracy. Born in a house that his father bought from Samuel Clemens, he was educated at Groton and Yale and befriended by Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh, among others. Bissell recounts how he became acting head of the Economic Cooperation Administration, the agency in charge of the Marshall Plan after World War II, and helped to create the European Payments Union. Bissell was brought into the CIA in 1954, where he initiated a revolution in intelligence-gathering techniques. He reveals the details of these developments, as well as of the unique CIA-Lockheed partnership he pioneered, his participation in the CIA-sponsored coup to overthrow Arbenz in Guatemala, and his involvement in crises in Laos and the Congo. Bissell's memoir sheds light not only on pivotal points of American foreign policy but also on America's evolution from isolationist to interventionist superpower.
