Flaming Assholes

Languages : en
Pages : 134
Book Description
You can always retake a class, but you can never relive a great party. This was our mantra as a rugby team at The University of Alabama. We treated every day as a party and we didn't care what anyone thought. Flaming Assholes is a raunchy recount of the day-to-day activities that took place from the year 2001 to 2004. The book depicts how our team made the USA Today, the run-in's with local and not-so-local police, and why the City of Tuscaloosa changed codes because of us. The book also delves into the destruction of property; stolen vehicles; and broken hearts, spirits, and faces. Flaming Assholes contains nothing but debauchery, immoral decisions and actions, and really nothing having to do with the sport of rugby. Our rugby team was full of degenerates looking for ways to act as such. Every day was an adventure and this book is a recollection of the most memorable, yet lewd, stories about this team. Put your humility and dignity aside -- we didn't have any. Thus, the reader shouldn't either. If you're easily offended, this book is probably not for you. If you are not one for caustic or abrasive language, go read something else. Seriously.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
"My spy classmate, Andy Anderson, has written a delicious follow-on to Greene's "Our Man in Havana" in his novel Sudden Recall. It is at the same time funny, fast-paced, current and full of wisdom. It may provoke a few flashes of indignation in Langley and on the Hill but John Hunt's outbursts are long overdue." -Fred Hitz, Professor of Law, University of Virginia, former Inspector General of the CIA and author of "The Great Game: The Myth and Reality of Espionage." "Andy Anderson was John Carol Kingsberry Hunt-one of the dangerously ambitious bad-boy field case-officers who bedded their mistresses in safe-houses and recruited high risk, dangerous spies without prior CIA headquarter's approval.We used to say his operational reporting reads like fiction-today it is the other way around." -Richard W. Carlson, US Ambassador (ret.) Former Director of the Voice of America "Fact and fiction blur in this hall-of-mirrors espionage novel by CIA spy master Andy Anderson, who lays bare the awful truth about what went wrong-and is still going wrong-in America's war on terror. Sudden Recall is the inside scoop." -Rick Carroll, author of IZ Voice of The People, and former daily journalist with the San Francisco Chronicle

The Medic
Author: Claire E. Swedberg
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 0811769836
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 269
Book Description
Henry Chamberlain was one of the longest-term prisoners of war in World War II. Taken prisoner in the American surrender at Bataan in April 1942, he remained in Japanese captivity until September 1945. During three and a half years of imprisonment, as a medic he was a unique and unfortunate witness to the horrors and terrors the Japanese inflicted on their prisoners during the Bataan Death March and at the notorious Cabanatuan prison camp, where for two years he tended to the sick and wounded, all too often without medicine. In October 1944 the Japanese put Chamberlain on a “hell ship” to forced labor in sugar cane fields in Formosa (now Taiwan) and again, in January 1945, to a Mitsubishi lead and zinc mine in Japan. U.S. military forces reached the camp in September 1945, liberating Chamberlain and his fellow soldiers. Chamberlain’s is a story of excruciating hardship, abiding endurance, and transcendent courage, and writer Claire Swedberg tells it beautifully, with great style and deep pathos, from Chamberlain’s fraught Depression-era boyhood in Nebraska, through his World War II captivity, to his return to Japan in 2018. Like Adam Makos’s Spearhead and Laura Hillenbrand’s Unbroken, this is the account of one man fighting for and with his fellow soldiers against the forces of war in the twentieth-century.

Pages : 528
Book Description
In this “highly entertaining” New York Times bestseller from Nelson DeMille and Alex DeMille, Army CID Special Agents Brodie and Taylor “are the modern warriors the world needs” (BookReporter) and they’re on the hunt for the cold-blooded murderer of one of their fellow agents. Army Criminal Investigation Agents Scott Brodie and Maggie Taylor have been separated for five months following their last assignment, a dangerous mission in Venezuela to locate and detain an infamous Army deserter. Now, in Berlin, they are reunited and tasked with investigating the murder of one of their own: CID Special Agent Harry Vance of the 5th MP Battalion, an accomplished counterterrorism agent who had been stationed in western Germany, and whose body was discovered in a city park in the heart of Berlin’s Arab refugee community. The authorities suspect this is an act of Islamic terrorism, but Brodie and Taylor soon believe there is more to this case. The reason for Vance’s presence in Berlin is unknown, and as Brodie and Taylor work to discover what the murder victim was doing in the days and weeks preceding his death, they become immersed in the many conflicts and contradictions of modern Germany—the Arab refugee crisis, the dark legacy of the Cold War and the Stasi secret police, and the imminent threats of a rising neo-Nazi movement. At the same time, they are butting heads with the authorities—both German and American—and facing a possible threat from American intelligence agents who fear that Brodie and Taylor might have learned too much about US clandestine operations during their mission in Venezuela. Ultimately, Brodie and Taylor realize that the murder of Harry Vance was merely the prelude to a much more sinister future event—unless they can unravel the mystery in time to stop it.
