But Grimm was the man she loved, the one who urged her to marry another. He tried to pretend indifference as she tempted him, but he could not deny the fierce desires that compelled him to abduct her from the altar.

Download or read book Hybrid Warriors written by Anna Arutunyan and published by Hurst Publishers. This book was released on 2022-09-28 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Russian government’s deniable use of rogues, businessmen, enthusiasts, mercenaries and political technologists confounded policymakers as Moscow waged a covert invasion of Ukraine in 2014. Did Crimea and Donbas reveal the Kremlin’s new ‘hybrid war’ playbook? Or was Moscow itself manipulated by the very forces it had unleashed? Given the disinformation and skewing of the narrative, it is no wonder that the international community has dramatically misunderstood the very nature of this war and was unprepared for the Kremlin’s sudden and brutal escalation in 2022. As Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine risks pitting the world’s great powers against each other, Hybrid Warriors traces the trajectory of the conflict from the bottom up. Starting from the first pivotal years in the 2010s, the book draws on unique interviews, reporting from the conflict zones, and wider on-the-ground research, to reconstruct the granular relationships between civilians, non-state actors, and the Kremlin that co-opted them. In the process, it speaks not just to the history of this conflict, but also to our wider understanding of how Putin’s Kremlin works and how it has prosecuted its war on Ukraine.

Download or read book Archangel s Heart written by Nalini Singh and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2016-11-01 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh takes us into a dangerous and exhilarating world where a deadly, beautiful archangel and his once-mortal consort are caught in a fury of twisted darkness… “Raphael and Elena are the heart of this series…they are what keep me coming back for more.”—Fiction Vixen One of the most vicious archangels in the world has disappeared. No one knows if Lijuan is dead or has chosen to Sleep the long sleep of an immortal. But with her lands falling into chaos under a rising tide of vampiric bloodlust, a mysterious and ancient order of angels known as the Luminata calls the entire Cadre together to discuss the fate of her territory. Accompanying her archangelic lover Raphael to the Luminata compound, guild hunter-turned-angel Elena senses that all is not as it seems.

Download or read book Unbreakable Hearts A True Heart wrenching Story About Victory Forfeited written by Earl Dusty Trimmer and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2019-05-16 with total page 588 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Earl “Dusty” Trimmer relates with both skill and personal experience events surrounding our most forgetable and misunderstood war in America’s history. He brings it all home with his down-to-earth style and considerable knowledge. In Unbreakable Hearts, Dusty dives into the Vietnamese history and culture and skillfully brings the reader into understanding our Vietnamese enemy’s amazing resolve. He brilliantly explains the evolution of our Vietnamese enemy over hundreds of years of invasions and wars. Always defending their country to remain free became an art. In Chapter 7, Dusty describes the Vietnamese women fighters as “Hellcats.” My own experience with the formidable Vietnamese Viet Cong women’s skills and expertise closely mirrors Dusty’s. Hooch girls could plant booby traps in a GI’s hooch with a skill and savvy they were forced to learn during decades of on-the-job training in continuous wars with unwelcomed invaders. My own Military Police experience after leaving the infantry revealed these incidents vividly. In later chapters, Dusty moves into our own veterans’ profound resolve and toughness. North Vietnam’s famed General Giap called us “an honorable enemy.” One could suggest from this writing that our enemy taught us well. We did things in the Vietnam War the average person would have to go to the movies to believe. After reading Trimmer’s descriptions, I must conclude that indeed this book could be one for the movie industry. Dusty Trimmer brings to life our days and nights living and fighting in these foreboding jungle warfare conditions. After reading this fine work and reflecting on my own experiences, I cut away a little more of the pain. Pride swells for having served with all of these wonderful veterans of the Vietnam War. Pain for our terrible losses. For myself, these experiences culminated in wisdom I would otherwise have failed to achieve. God bless Dusty for telling our story. Forward march, Brothers!

Download or read book The Taming of the Demons written by and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2021-08-03 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A newly translated volume of the centuries-old spiritual epic of King Gesar. For centuries, the epic tale of Gesar of Ling has been told across Asia. This epic is a living oral tradition, performed widely by singers and bards and beloved especially in Tibet. Considered the longest single piece of literature in the world canon, the epic of Gesar chronicles the legend of King Gesar of Ling, a heroic figure known for his fearless leadership. The epic encompasses some 120 volumes and nearly 20 million words, and there are numerous versions across cultures. This book is the first English translation of the fourth volume of this sweeping literary work, with stories from after Gesar's coronation to the throne of Ling. This volume focuses on battles won and strategies applied, as the warrior-king Gesar fended off demons and liberated his foes. Though largely a violent account focused on his superhuman prowess in battle, this volume is rich with ethical proverbs that inform Tibetan culture to this day. A significant work of legend, the epic of Gesar is also a vital part of Tibetan Buddhism, as Gesar is said to have been chosen by celestial beings to restore order and destroy anti-Buddhist forces. The epic of Gesar is the cultural touchstone of Tibet, analogous to the Iliad or the Odyssey. While Book One covers Gesar's birth, youth, and rise to power, this volume recounts the martial victories and magical feats that made him a legendary figure to so many.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Wealth without work Pleasure without conscience Science without humanity Knowledge without character Politics without principle Commerce without morality Worship without sacrifice. https://vidjambov.blogspot.com/2023/01/book-inventory-vladimir-djambov-talmach.html Try, brother, yourself to be kind, and if you find that you have no shortage of anything said, but you do everything with great zeal and a warm heart, then you will understand that with the light of faith you have an unshaming hope; not the hope that is generated by the conceit and vanity of those who perish, and what hope of the charms and lies none of those who nourish can know, but the hope, I say, good, true, and which comes with the true and non-deceiving light of faith, and on top of which you will see the love that is God, seated, as on the Cherubim. When you gain this love in this way and see it, then and after you will not want to torture much about anything future and invisible, you will even force others to not talk about anything like that, you will convince them not to torture about any of this and not to start controversy and contests about what has to be in another life, you yourself learned from a generation of experience that the whole future and the invisible are inexplicable and unthinkable. If you haven’t done yet what may be the first to let you know that you are truly a faithful Christian — but in comparison with the infidels, you are faithful, and in comparison with the faithful, you are convicted of your conscience, like an infidel, perfect hope and assurance that you are among the saved, and you cannot speak, as St. Paul said: even you will force others to not talk about anything like this, you will persuade them not to torture about any of this and not to start disputes and contests about what has to be in another life, you yourself learned from the experience that the whole future and the invisible is inexplicable and unthinkable. If you haven’t done yet what may be the first to let you know that you are truly a faithful Christian... the boldness to pray to the Comforter, as St Simeon the New Theologian — that great devotee of the Divine Beauty — exclaimed with unrivaled lyricism: "Come, true light. Come, eternal life. Come, hidden mystery. Come, unnameable treasure. Come, reality beyond any speech. Come, person beyond all comprehension. Come, unceasing exultation. Come, impenetrable light. Come, unfailing hope of the saved. Come, lifter up of the fallen. Come, resurrection of the dead. Come, Almighty, for Thou dost unceasingly create, transfigure, and change all things by Thy will alone. Come, invisible one that none can touch or feel. Come, for Thy name fills our hearts with desire and is always on our lips; but Who Thou art and what Thy nature is, we cannot say or know. Come, unique one in one. Come, for Thou Thyself art the desire within me. Come, my breath and my life. Come, comfort of my lowly soul. ..." From sullied lips, From an abominable heart, From an unclean tongue, Out of a polluted soul, Receive my prayer, O my Christ. Reject me not...
