The Trident
Author: Jason Redman
Publisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 0062208330
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
Navy SEAL and author of Overcome Jason Redman’s highly-charged account of his combat missions in Iraq and his miraculous recovery from wounds that might have killed him—if it were not for his grit and the devotion of his wife and family Decorated Navy SEAL Lieutenant Jason Redman served his country in Columbia, Peru, Afghanistan and Iraq, where he commanded mobility and assault forces. In western Iraq alone, he conducted over forty capture-kill missions with his men, successfully locating more than 120 Al Qaida insurgents. In September 2007, while leading a mission against a key senior Al Qaida commander, his team was ambushed and he was critically wounded by machine-gun fire at point blank range. During the intense recovery that followed—a years-long process that included 37 surgeries—Redman gained national media attention when he posted a sign on his door at Bethesda Naval Medical Center, warning all who entered not to “feel sorry for my wounds.” Redman’s sign became both a statement and a symbol for wounded warriors everywhere. The Trident is an unforgettable story of one man’s determination to overcome adversity. Redman recounts his story, from his grueling SEAL training to how he found the balance between arrogance and humility all while fighting America’s enemies on far flung battlefields. He speaks candidly of the grit that helped him carry on despite grievous wounds, and of the extraordinary love and devotion of his wife, Erica, and family, without whom he would not have survived. Vivid and powerful, emotionally resonant and illuminating, filled with sixteen pages of photos, The Trident traces the evolution of a modern warrior, husband, and father—a man who has come to embody the never-say-die spirit that defines America’s elite fighting force.

Book Description
"The superliners of the Gilded Age so eclipsed their predecessors in size, splendor, and speed that they remain potent symbols of elegance, arrogance, and industrial might nearly a century after the last ones were built. They carried a flood of immigrants to America even as they reflected and magnified the frightening forces that were pushing Europe blindly into World War I. In a crowning irony, Germany's prize liners were used against her to carry American doughboys to the trenches of Europe." "Seize the Trident is a parable of imperial ambitions and ultimate tragedy set against the ostentatious backdrop of the Edwardian age, when dreams had no limits and the only standard of supremacy was excess."--BOOK JACKET.

Performing Nuclear Weapons
Author: Paul Beaumont
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030675769
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
This book investigates the UK’s nuclear weapon policy, focusing in particular on how consecutive governments have managed to maintain the Trident weapon system. The question of why states maintain nuclear weapons typically receives short shrift: its security, of course. The international is a perilous place, and nuclear weapons represent the ultimate self-help device. This book seeks to unsettle this complacency by re-conceptualizing nuclear weapon-armed states as nuclear regimes of truth and refocusing on the processes through which governments produce and maintain country-specific discourses that enable their continued possession of nuclear weapons. Illustrating the value of studying nuclear regimes of truth, the book conducts a discourse analysis of the UK’s nuclear weapons policy between 1980 and 2010. In so doing, it documents the sheer imagination and discursive labour required to sustain the positive value of nuclear weapons within British politics, as well as providing grounds for optimism regarding the value of the recent treaty banning nuclear weapons.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
A suspenseful military romance. Join fiercely independent CIA agent Millie Marsh as she navigates the treacherous roads that promise to uncover the secrets of her past. Headstrong Navy SEAL Mason Davis is assigned to help her along the way. From the beginning, they disagree on everything, but their constant clashes only stoke their undeniable chemistry. "High heat and nail-biting suspense!!!!! I was sucked into Millie and Mason's world within minutes! Brilliant storyline and such likable characters that you can't help but fall in love with! Mason is just the right amount of tough alpha hero and a soft squishy heart that just might have met his match in Millie! Outstanding read!" Amazon Review Mason Millie Marsh is the most annoyingly independent woman I've ever met. I was assigned to protect her on this mission, but I'm probably going to kill her myself before it's over. I gave her a direct order today. She ignored it. Ignored it! I'm Mason Davis-the leader of one of the most feared SEAL teams in the country. No one has ever ignored my orders. Until now. Every time she glares at me with those steely green eyes, my head feels like it's going to explode. I want to throw her up against a wall and . . . well, that's where it starts to get tricky because I'm not sure what I want to do once I get her there. Yell at her? Sure. Shake her into submission? Definitely. But despite her willful defiance of me, I also want to rip off her clothes and take her on the spot. Why am I so turned on by this frustrating woman? Yeah, her butt looks amazing in those little cargo pants she's always wearing, but it's more than that. Underneath her tough exterior, I can sense a vulnerability-the sweetest sensuality that's eager to expose itself to any man who will make it his life's work to protect it. And God help me, I think I want to be that man. "This book deserves so much more then 5 stars. I literally couldn't stop turning the pages. I had to know all about Millie's life, how everything was going to turn out. I went right on to the second book. Such a nice escape." Goodreads Review "Donna Schwartze is a new author for me, but this won't be the last series of hers that I read. I was captivated from book one of the TRIDENT TRILOGY and read all three back to back. The storyline was amazing! It was action packed, the Romance was just right, the humor was wonderful, and you just want the story to keep on going, and not stop." Amazon Review
