The three-book series (Terror on the High Seas I, Terror on High Seas Revisited II, and High Seas Adventure Book III) describe the journey of a man’s search for peace after a tragic family loss.

Book Description
Book 1 details the exploits of a small group of GIs as they face the pressures and demands of fighting a changing/disappearing enemy. They are plagued with dwindling support, the disaffection of the American Public, confused/double-talking politicians, and power struggles within the entire governmental effort. The novel surveillance and tunnel exploration methods introduced in this book set the tone for additional books and illustrate how common sense can often triumph. Book II takes our team to the next level by adding long-term sniper training for ultimately all bases with novel surveillance techniques and equipment (definitely a must read). The additional thrills of POW rescues in very contested encounters. Book III introduces the final strategy to try to conquer the Vietnam peninsula and its people. The construction of new bases six miles apart the length of the DMZ are defended. The tense, destructive Tet Offensive occurs, and my men are immersed in the conflicts and aftermath. The book finalizes, summarizes, and covers the last successful POW rescues deep in the interior. The ultimate effect is a losing strategy and leaving our allies in enemy hands. This resulted in millions dying in Vietnam and Cambodia, renaming the capital, and the killing fields of Cambodia under Pol Pot. This book is dedicated their memories... Read on!

Book Description
Kubakrise und Vietnamkrieg, Bürgerrechtsbewegung und "Great Society", Woodstock und Mondlandung - die "Sixties" zählen in der Geschichte der USA zu den ereignisreichsten Jahrzehnten überhaupt. Wie aber kam es zu den politischen, sozialen und kulturellen Umwälzungen dieser Dekade und welche Konflikte sind noch heute virulent? Drücken sie dem "American Way of Life" des 21. Jahrhunderts immer noch ihren Stempel auf? Die Autorinnen und Autoren spüren diesen Fragen nach - genau 50 Jahre, nachdem John F. Kennedy 1963 den Schüssen von Dallas zum Opfer fiel.

Book Description
The Gallipoli Campaign is generally viewed as a disastrous failure of the First World War, inadequately redeemed by the heroism of the soldiers and sailors who were involved in the fighting. But before the first landings were made, the concept of a strike at the Dardanelles seemed to offer a short cut to victory in a war without prospect of end. The venture, and what was required of the men undertaking it who were enduring heavy casualties, eminently deserve reconsideration in the centenary year of the campaign. What fuelled and what drained morale during the eight months of extraordinary human endeavour? A balanced evaluation of the Gallipoli gamble, and of the political and military leadership, are the challenging tasks which Peter Liddle sets himself in his new study of the campaign and the experience of the men who served in it.

Book Description
Since 2013, the Middle East has experienced a double trend of chaos and civil war, on the one hand, and the return of authoritarianism, on the other. That convergence has eclipsed the political transitions that occurred in the countries whose regimes were toppled in 2011, as if they were merely footnotes to a narrative that naturally led from an "Arab Spring" to an "Arab Winter". This volume aims at rehabilitating those transitions, by considering them as expressions of a "revolutionary moment" whose outcome was never pre-determined, but depended on the choices of a large range of actors. It brings together leading scholars of Arab politics to adopt a comparative approach to a few crucial aspects of those transitions: constitutional debates, the question of transitional justice, the evolution of civil-military relations, and the role of specific actors, both domestic and international.

Book Description
The European Union’s stalled expansion, the Euro deficit and emerging crises of economic and political sovereignty in Greece, Italy and Spain have significantly altered the image of the EU as a model of progressive civilization. However, despite recent events the EU maintains its international image as the paragon of European politics and global governance. This book unites leading scholars on Europe and Empire to revisit the view of the European Union as an ‘imperial’ power. It offers a re-appraisal of the EU as empire in response to geopolitical and economic developments since 2007 and asks if the policies, practices, and priorities of the Union exhibit characteristics of a modern empire. This text will be of key interest to students and scholars of the EU, European studies, history, sociology, international relations, and economics.
