The Taliban Shuffle
Author: Kim Barker
Publisher: Anchor
ISBN: 0385533322
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
A true-life Catch-22 set in the deeply dysfunctional countries of Afghanistan and Pakistan, by one of the region’s longest-serving correspondents. Kim Barker is not your typical, impassive foreign correspondent—she is candid, self-deprecating, laugh-out-loud funny. At first an awkward newbie in Afghanistan, she grows into a wisecracking, seasoned reporter with grave concerns about our ability to win hearts and minds in the region. In The Taliban Shuffle, Barker offers an insider’s account of the “forgotten war” in Afghanistan and Pakistan, chronicling the years after America’s initial routing of the Taliban, when we failed to finish the job. When Barker arrives in Kabul, foreign aid is at a record low, electricity is a pipe dream, and of the few remaining foreign troops, some aren’t allowed out after dark. Meanwhile, in the vacuum left by the U.S. and NATO, the Taliban is regrouping as the Afghan and Pakistani governments flounder. Barker watches Afghan police recruits make a travesty of practice drills and observes the disorienting turnover of diplomatic staff. She is pursued romantically by the former prime minister of Pakistan and sees adrenaline-fueled colleagues disappear into the clutches of the Taliban. And as her love for these hapless countries grows, her hopes for their stability and security fade. Swift, funny, and wholly original, The Taliban Shuffle unforgettably captures the absurdities and tragedies of life in a war zone.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot
Author: Alan Axelrod
Publisher: Skyhorse
ISBN: 9781620876473
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
Few areas of human endeavor have produced more—or more colorful—terms than has the military. Soldiers, sailors, marines, and airmen have over centuries come up with words, phrases, and acronyms to express everything from raw emotion to complex technology. The military is both a distinctive way of life and a community, and a command of its slang is essential to admission to full membership within the group. Most military slang is almost always familiar only to the troops. Mating mosquitoes, for example, refers to the two-chevron insignia of the Army corporal. Gadget describes an enlisted man or woman who is temporarily promoted to a position of increased responsibility to fill an urgent need, while a panty raid is a foray into enemy territory for the purpose of gathering evidence of adversary activity. Among the less delicate entries are the day the eagle shits, or payday, and skimmer puke, a submariner’s term for any surface ship sailor. (And then there’s the book’s title, the acronym for What The F-ck). Many elements of military vocabulary have become part of our national speech: John Wayne, boondocks, attaboy, and hot dog. But whether the words and phrases are the exclusive property of our fighting men and women or are also in general use, the “real” language of the modern military set forth in this lively book embodies a uniquely American attitude and an exuberantly colloquial, unwaveringly honest, and enduringly American grace under pressure.

Repeat
Author: William Rooney
Publisher: Fortis Publishing
ISBN: 9780984637195
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
William Rooney is a highly successful veteran of 35 years' in the Clandestine Service and was directly involved in a number of effective and dangerous operations. He has lived in foreign countries for a number of years in his exciting and distinguished CIA career. His first novel, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, is a cautionary tale all should heed. The elements in this captivating love story quickly unfold into an urgent need to stop a sophisticated, potentially nation-shattering terrorist plot. Rooney believes strongly that CIA operations are one of the first lines of defense in the everyday struggle to protect this country. He feels the Clandestine Service needs to meet the highest standards of professionalism, and also needs to be covert. He does not pull punches when discussing what is happening to the CIA, and how it is a political football in the nation's capital. Acknowledging some of this is a self-inflicted wound caused by various retired officers who in public forums and daily news talk shows, opine on world political issues Rooney is also frustrated by the continuing leaks of sensitive information about operations from 'anonymous sources' or from unnamed retired Agency Officers. Recent examples make the point clearly and include the news stories of the Safe House near Osama Bin Laden's hideout, that there was a stealth drone overhead monitoring activity at the target location and the announcement in newspapers, CIA operatives had deployed into Libya the previous day. Agency Operations Officers face great difficulties in mounting successful operations, and such public transparency does not make their jobs easier. Too often, politicians, newsmen, and Government turf war barons in Washington play "pin the tail on the donkey" and "gotcha" when dealing with the Clandestine Service in the hardball game of politics. While this book is fiction, and a fun novel to read, Rooney touches on a number of issues that need to be discussed and also offers interesting insights all should give thought to.

A compelling tale of art, love and war... A man lives alone in a watchtower by the sea. On the circular walls of the tower he is painting a grand mural - the timeless landscape of a battle. He is a former war photographer, and the painting is his attempt to capture the photo he was never able to take; to encapsulate, in an instant, the meaning of war.

The man is a shadow from his past, one of the myriad faces of war, and now the consequences of his actions are brought home to him.
