Navy SEAL’s Guide to Surviving Invasions, Civil War, and World War III
Author: Clint Emerson
Publisher: Archway Publishing
ISBN: 166575592X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 249
Book Description
The phrase "The British are coming" is attributed to Paul Revere, a colonial Boston silversmith and patriot who was among several riders who sounded the alarm that the British Regulars were coming to attack the American colonies. On the night of April 18, 1775, Revere and William Dawes set out on horseback from Boston to warn the colonists that the British were planning to march on Concord to seize American military supplies. Revere rode through the countryside, waking sleeping towns and farms, and shouting his famous warning, "The British are coming! The British are coming!" remains an iconic symbol of American rebellion and a war cry to all American citizen soldiers. Citizen Soldiers defend themselves and their homeland against a numerically superior and better-armed invading force or host governments and dictatorships gone crazy. While they might be outgunned in larger battles, Citizen Soldiers can create an advantage over the invaders[ce1] [HM2] in smaller encounters with an intimate knowledge of the countryside, time to prepare defenses, and support from the local population. The most critical mindset for a Citizen Soldier is preparation and relentless awareness of the threats to his homeland. Today’s civilian is tomorrow’s Citizen Soldier[ce3] [HM4] , and you can begin training to learn the necessary skills. From marksmanship to fieldcraft, camouflage, disguise, covert communications, cyber safety, escape routes, navigation, etc., the time to start learning is now. [ce1]We should include both invaders or host governments gone bad so we appeal to the south American countries... maybe round our verbiage to Adversaries / Governments... [HM2]Great point... I added to the text. [ce3]Great BLUF [HM4]Thank you

In the Presence of the Enemy
Author: Elizabeth George
Publisher: Bantam
ISBN: 0553905481
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 642
Book Description
Hailed as the "king of sleaze," tabloid editor Dennis Luxford is used to ferreting out the sins and scandals of people in exposed positions. But when he opens an innocuous-looking letter addressed to him at The Source, he discovers that someone else excels at ferreting out secrets as well. Ten-year-old Charlotte Bowen has been abducted, and if Luxford does not admit publicly to having fathered her, she will die. But Charlotte's existence is Luxford's most fiercely guarded secret, and acknowledging her as his child will throw more than one life and career into chaos. Luxford knows that the story of Charlotte's paternity could make him a laughingstock and reveal to his beautiful wife and son the lie he's lived for a decade. Yet it's not only Luxford's reputation that's on the line: it's also the reputation—and career—of Charlotte Bowen's mother. For she is Undersecretary of State for the Home Office, one of the most high-profile Junior Ministers and quite possibly the next Margaret Thatcher. Knowing that her political future hangs in the balance, Eve Bowen refuses to let Luxford damage her career by printing the story or calling the police. So the editor turns to forensic scientist Simon St. James for help. It's a case that fills St. James with disquiet, however, for none of the players in the drama seem to react the way one would expect. Then tragedy occurs and New Scotland Yard becomes involved. Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley soon discovers that the case sends tentacles from London into the countryside, and he must simultaneously outfox death as he probes Charlotte Bowen's mysterious disappearance. Meanwhile, his partner Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers, working part of the investigation on her own and hoping to make the coup of her career, may be drawing closer to a grim solution—and to danger—than anyone knows. In the Presence of the Enemy is a brilliantly insightful and haunting novel of ideals corrupted by self-interest, of the sins of parents visited upon children, and of the masks that hide people from each other—and from themselves.
