The Sling and the Stone
Author: Thomas X. Hammes
Publisher: Zenith Press
ISBN: 1616737557
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
4GW (Fourth Generation Warfare) is the only kind of war America has ever lost. And we have done so three times – in Vietnam, Lebanon, and Somalia. This form of warfare has also defeated the French in Vietnam and Algeria, and the USSR in Afghanistan…As the only Goliath left in the world, we should be worried that the world’s Davids have found a sling and stone that work." – Chapter 1, The Sling and the Stone: On War in the 21st Century. The War in Iraq. The War on Terror. These types of "asymmetrical" warfare are the conflicts of the 21st century – and show how difficult it is for the world's remaining superpower to battle insurgents and terrorists who will fight unconventionally in the face of superior military power. This change in military conflict may seem sudden.

Cavetime
Author: Jeff Voth
Publisher: Destiny Image Publishers
ISBN: 098205906X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 204
Book Description
A guide for any man to deal effectively with the difficulties and assaults waged against him in this life. Through no fault of his own, King David of Israel lost all of his support systems, and even his dignity. He responded by escaping to the cave of Adullam. There he met with God and was transformed, along with the four hundred beleaguered men who joined him there. He left us a record of his struggles and triumphs in certain Psalms composed in the time of his cave-dwelling days. There was a clear pattern in the habits of David and those men that can build us up today, so that we might become the masculine wall of security for the people in our day, that they were said to have been in theirs. Jeff Voth has proven the positive impact of these habits in the lives of men in his doctoral thesis, and communicates these truths in clear language. Become a mighty man of God. Become a Caveman.
