Book Description
The Darkness At The End Of The Tunnel... is a book that was born out of pain and is dedicated to all those who have tasted loneliness. To those who saw the darkness and the light within the darkness....To those life has passed by and left behind. To the lonely stranger who walks in a rainy town. To the woman who sits by the window for days, anticipating the return of her love. To the man who saw his beloved in the arms of another and remained silent. To those who were misunderstood and found themselves on a lonely island amongst the crowd...To those who sat long nights in a cold, dark room and didn't have a single soul in the whole world. To those who embraced themselves at nightfall, with cold sheets, wrapped in silence. To those hearts in which the candle of love still flickers. To all those, “The Darkness” is the light of all dreams, the longing, the desire and the yearning. Because only through the greatest loneliness, suffering, pain, and absence, only through the deepest valley and the darkest darkness, can you arrive at the footsteps of the greatest love of all...

Dark Tunnel, White Light
Author: Philippe Labro
Publisher: Kodansha
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
Philippe Labro, a successful middle-aged novelist, lies in a small Parisian hospital, suffering from an unknown ailment that is slowly strangling him. Ghostly visitors arrive, their faces friendly with open smiles. His aged father, his first lover, a close friend are among them -- all those he has loved and lost. He is overcome with longing. A voice out of nowhere invites him to enter the long dark tunnel now before him. But scenes from his life distract him -- a young man in the Colorado desert playing "chicken", a bored journalist in a car chase during the Algerian war -- all moments when he had courted death with little to lose. Now, however, his beautiful wife and two young children wait uncertainly in the corridor. In clear, unflinching prose, Labro relates the contest that ensues -- one waged deep in his psyche and in the very matter of his body. Labro's struggle to hear the voices calling him yet resist the lure of death is not merely the exertion of will against an implacable foe. It is an effort to resist Death's insidious, seductive hold on his imagination. An unforgettable story of a man who discovered the meaning of life on the very precipice of losing it.

Underground Warfare
Author: Daphné Richemond-Barak
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190457244
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
Underground warfare, a tactic of yesteryear, has re-emerged as a global and rapidly diffusing threat. This book is the first of its kind to examine tunnel warfare in a systematic and comprehensive way, addressing the legal issues while keeping in mind operational and strategic challenges. Like many other aspects of contemporary warfare, the renewed use of the subterranean in armed conflict presents a challenge for democracies wishing to abide by the law. To Dr. Richemond-Barak, this challenge has not only been under-explored, it is also largely underestimated by the community of states, security experts, and public opinion. She analyzes traditional concepts of the laws of war as they relate to tunnels and underground operations, contemplating questions such as whether tunnels constitute legitimate targets, the assessment of proportionality in anti-tunnel operations, and the availability of advanced warning in this complex terrain. She also identifies issues that are unique to underground warfare, including those that arise when cross-border tunnels burrow under a state's own civilian infrastructure.
