Captain John Smith
Author: Karen Ordahl Kupperman
Publisher: UNC Press Books
ISBN: 0807839310
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
Captain John Smith was one of the most insightful and colorful writers to visit America in the colonial period. While his first venture was in Virginia, some of his most important work concerned New England and the colonial enterprise as a whole. The publication in 1986 of Philip Barbour's three-volume edition of Smith's works made available the complete Smith opus. In Karen Ordahl Kupperman's new edition her intelligent and imaginative selection and thematic arrangement of Smith's most important writings will make Smith accessible to scholars, students, and general readers alike. Kupperman's introductory material and notes clarify Smith's meaning and the context in which he wrote, while the selections are large enough to allow Captain Smith to speak for himself. As a reasonably priced distillation of the best of John Smith, Kupperman's edition will allow a wide audience to discover what a remarkable thinker and writer he was.

The Green Berets
Author: Jay Mann
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595446345
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 162
Book Description
They are called "the quiet professionals." But for the Green Berets, life on the streets of Iraq is anything but quiet. With bombs going off all around them, a Special Forces A-Team is forced to fight terrorism under the most arduous of conditions. The Iraqis fighting beside them are poorly trained and unaccustomed to battle conditions. Team members squabble with each other when they should be taking joint aim at the enemy. And the team's chain of command continues to put the kind of absurd restrictions on operations that enable terrorists instead of combating them. Luckily for the Green Berets, they have John, known to the Iraqis under his command as Shytaan Ilabyaad: the White Devil. A ruthless team sergeant who refuses to be hampered by superiors dictating conduct from behind secure walls, he leads his team to do whatever it takes to defeat the enemy. From fighting in the streets of Fallujah to sneak-and-peek operations in the neighborhoods of Baghdad, The Green Berets shows what freedom-fighting is all about.
