Bill had been captured and sustained life threatening injuries. Rescued and flown back to a hospital in England, Bill spent weeks recovering from his physical injuries. The army had concerns about his mental state of health and could not let him resume his duties, or even stay in the army. Discharged from the hospital he stayed at his parent's home. It was during his two week's leave that he met Sandra. Despite being a sergeant, with men under his command, Sandra made him feel safe and secure. Encouraged by her, he talked to the military and in an explosion of emotion revealed the details of that fateful mission.

Book Description
Delving into genocidal governments of the past, the work covered in this book explores how these genocidal belligerents had recruited and trained their nation's citizenry into killing machines. Paramilitaries are often employed by these government heads to carry out with such precision the systematic slaughtering of innocents, doing so without resembling compunction. Largely enticing their recruits to join with the promise of wealth and revenge. Training these recruits through political ideological indoctrination sessions, and subjecting the trainees to a demanding training schedule, these trainees eventually get their chance to enact what they have so long been training for. No other work has compiled such an accurate and comprehensive account of the recruitment/selection, and training/development policies of Serbia's Arkan's Tigers, Cambodia's Khmer Rouge, The Third Reich's Hitler Youth/SS, Sudan's Janjaweed, Al-Qaeda, and Rwanda's Interahamwe.

Book Description
'You have given a faithful portrait of a Thug's life, his ceremonies, and his acts' Often overshadowed by Kipling's Kim or Forster's A Passage to India, Philip Meadows Taylor's forgotten classic, Confessions of a Thug (1839), is nevertheless the most influential novel of early nineteenth-century British India. This was the first dramatic account to expose a European readership to the fantastic world of the murderous Thugs, or highway robbers, who strangled their victims and who have ever since been a stable of Western popular culture. Writing in the voice of a captured Thug, Taylor presents an Orientalist fantasy that is part picaresque adventure and part colonial expos?. Confessions of a Thug offers a unique glimpse of the colonial world in the making, revealing how the British imagined themselves to be omniscient and in complete control of their Indian subjects. This unique critical edition makes available a fascinating and significant work of Empire writing, in addition to excerpts from the original colonial texts that inspired Taylor's narrative.

Book Description
In a life surrounded by enemies, famiglia is everything. I’d do anything for mine, which makes me the perfect soldier in our underground world. The Empire was built on blood and strength, and the Vendetti name reigns supreme. However, the hits from the Irish keep coming and our capo is forced to make some tough decisions. One of us is to be the next sacrifice, an honor bestowed to make the famiglia stronger. So why does my chest hurt so badly at the thought of it being me? I knew I would have to pay the price and do my duty eventually, but one look at her beauty and my heart sinks. She’s not the one for me, and I know I’m not ready to lose my freedom. When she’s given to my brother, my world tilts for another reason. He’s my best friend, my freedom, and through him, we share everything. EVEN HER. (The Vendetti Soldier can be read as a standalone, but why? Check out the others too! They're deliciously dark & twisted in the best ways. Contains MF/MFM/MMF/MM/MMFM/dub/edging/voyer/stuffing/bred/dominate & much more. If you can't handle books outside the typical box, this one isn't for you)
