For the men of Sierra Company, 75th Rangers, the Vietnam war means more than loyalty to their country. It means loyalty to each other. You don't choose your comrades in war—they are assigned to you.

The Last Run is an action-packed story of men at war—and of the unseen wounds our veterans brought home. Author Leonard B. Scott also wrote the bestselling Vietnam novel Charlie Mike, which was hailed by The Washington Post as “vivid, compelling . . . One of the finest novels yet written about the Vietnam war.” Like Charlie Mike, The Last Run is a story you will never forget.

Africa's Stalled Development
Author: David K. Leonard
Publisher: Lynne Rienner Publishers
ISBN: 9781588261168
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
This thoughtful discussion probes the international roots of Africa's civil conflicts and lackluster economies. Analyzing an unwitting system that creates a set of incentives inimical to development, the authors offer a new way of thinking about Africa's development dilemmas and the policy options for addressing them. Weak states, aid dependence, crushing debt, and enclave economies, argue the authors, create disincentives for long-term economic growth and even peace. The nature of Africa's interaction with the international system often supports these negative features; thus, the remedy must come from a radical restructuring of that relationship. Africa's Stalled Development heeds that call by presenting specific and innovative prescriptions for change that are sure to stimulate a much-needed debate. -- Publisher description.

Pages : 356
Book Description
Caught in the crossfire . . . While investigating a multimillion-dollar armed robbery, and several apparently unconnected murders, the mismatched FBI team of sharp-tongued feminist Ashley Sutton, and her boss, chauvinistic and proud Eli Tanner, unintentionally walks into the kill zone of a deadly conflict between two formidable opponents. Sometime earlier, drug kingpin Carlos Mendez had ambushed and killed almost an entire Navy SEAL platoon off the coast of Honduras. Now a squad of former U.S. special-operations soldiers wants him to pay for his sins--in money and blood. But Mendez has political pull, a private army, a deadly arsenal, and a fortress compound in Miami. And he knows something neither the FBI nor the former spec-ops troopers do. . . . The odds don't look good for either group of good guys. From the backwoods of Georgia to the opulent crime palaces of Miami, DUTY BOUND propels Special Agents Sutton and Tanner on a wild, edge-of-the-seat ride through hot lead and cold blood.
