Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
Flight lessons and military training weren't needed this time as twenty-five suburban movie theaters scattered throughout the Eastern United States mysteriously exploded in an apparent synchronized attack, killing hundreds of Americans.While the world struggles to understand how the United States with all of its technological superiority could again fall prey to domestic terror. Federal investigator, Jack Neil, of the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force uncovers a link to a dead drug addict and wonders what it could mean. Kevin MacAfee knows; he is a recently released convict and unsuspecting pawn in the mass murder perpetrated by a group calling themselves UMYA, the United Muslim Youth Association, led by Mustapha Aziz the son of a high ranking Jordanian diplomat, and brother to Najla Aziz, Kevin MacAfee's beautiful, but naive girlfriend. It was Kevin MacAfee who revealed the discontentment among America's neglected and underprivileged citizenry, showing Najla and Mustapha first-hand how homeless, inner-city, drug-addicted vagabonds willingly sell their prized U.S. credentials often for as little as ten dollars. A seemingly insignificant action until Mustapha Aziz devises a clandestine plan enabling fifty of his UMYA operatives to anonymously sow terror on U.S. soil using the purchased identities. The movie theater bombings were just the prelude in the fall of the Great Satan as twenty-five teams comprised of two members each spread out along the east coast as part of phase two of UMYA's diabolical plan to simultaneously bomb twenty-five major hotels in twenty-five major eastern U.S. cities. Only two people in the World know the secret identities of the operatives; Kevin MacAfee is one of them. Agent Jack Neil of the JTTF wishes he was the other, and is frantically racing against time and hope itself to find and apprehend Mr. MacAfee in his effort to prevent the death of thousands of unsuspecting American citizens. UMYA's minions are searching for MacAfee too. He is the weak link that could undermine their bid to exploit America's newfound vulnerability in their quest to expose the myth that is American power.
Rebel Guerrillas

Book Description
From the hills and valleys of the eastern Confederate states to the sun-drenched plains of Missouri and "Bleeding Kansas," a vicious, clandestine war was fought behind the big-battle clashes of the American Civil War. In the east, John Singleton Mosby became renowned for the daring hit-and-run tactics of his rebel horsemen. Here a relatively civilized war was fought; women and children usually left with a roof over their heads. But along the Kansas-Missouri border it was a far more brutal clash; no quarter given. William Clarke Quantrill and William "Bloody Bill" Anderson became notorious for their savagery.

Behind Japanese Lines
Author: Ray C. HuntPublisher: University Press of Kentucky
ISBN: 081314602X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 379
Book Description
This WWII combat memoir offers a rare firsthand account of the Allied guerilla forces fighting the Japanese occupation of the Philippines. In the Spring of 1942, US and Philippine forces lost the Battle of Bataan, leaving control of the Bataan Peninsula and the island of Corregidor to the Japanese. After the devastating loss, the Allied forces stationed across the Philippine Archipelago were supposed to surrender. Yet many of them refused, escaping into the mountains and jungles to form guerilla units. In Behind Japanese Lines one of those brave soldiers, Ray Hunt, recounts his experiences as part of the Allied resistance against the Japanese occupation. After escaping the Bataan Death March, Ray organized a troop of guerillas who went on to make noteworthy contributions to the Filipino-American reconquest of the Philippines. Ray’s story sheds important light on US-Filipino relations during World War II, as well as the realities of fighting both the Imperial Japanese Army and the Hukbalahap communist guerillas. "Stands out for the vividness of its detail, its effort to sort fact from legend, and its tribute to the heroism of the resistance movement, which was almost entirely Filipino.” —Choice
The Rescue

Pages : 340
Book Description
Praise for The Rescue "Steven Trent Smith grapples boldly with several big subjects: the Japanese occupation of the Philippines; the capture of Japan's 'Z Plan' (the decisive-battle strategy for destroying the U.S. Pacific Fleet); the rescue by submarine of forty Americans stranded in the Philippines; the climactic Battle of the Philippine Sea. Meticulously researched and well written, The Rescue ties these elements together into an epic that is emotionally engaging from start to rousing finish." -Martin Russ, author of Breakout and The Last Parallel "Smith's thoroughly researched, detailed account of the brave American and Filipino guerrillas on Negros Island in the Philippines will do much to introduce readers to this little known aspect of World War II in the Pacific. . . . This is a fascinating story well told." -Elizabeth Norman, author of the award-winning We Band of Angels: The Untold Story of American Nurses Trapped on Bataan by the Japanese "The Rescue is a delightful journey with the gallant few who resisted the Japanese occupation of the Philippines and who shaped the larger events wh ich led to victory in the Pacific. Smith's brilliant research and unique storytelling make this account a must for all who enjoy history and a grand adventure." -Peter Huchthausen, author of October Fury "With a photojournalist's eye for action and detail, Steven Trent Smith's The Rescue is a remarkable achievement. The incredible mission to save forty Americans stranded in the Philippines reads more like a work of fiction. . . . A must-read for all those interested in one of the great secret submarine operations of World War II and all action adventure fans alike!" -Richard P. Henrick, author of Crimson Tide and Nightwatch

Pages : 824
Book Description
Originally published in 1954, this is a collection of 32 stories from a variety of historic eras filled with missions against all odds. “The stories in this collection are generally firsthand accounts by irregulars. The principles of selection were simple: Were they good stories—interesting, exciting and honest? And did they show fresh and different phases of guerrilla warfare? The weightier writings on irregular strategy and the politics of modern partisan warfare were omitted except for T. E. Lawrence’s classic chapter on the former and Julian Amery’s brilliant and brief analysis of the latter. “I have tried briefly to set these stories in time and circumstance. As editor I have tried not to draw the fine lines between resistance which takes place in urban communities and guerrilla warfare which requires space for movement. I have tried not to belabor the differences between regulars as irregulars and the native guerrilla in the field. I have avoided the fine lines drawn between a guerrilla who attempts sabotage and the saboteur, the guerrilla who collects intelligence and the spy. In short, if too rigid a definition is observed, a fascinating and vital subject could be reduced to a dull and academic one. The irregular’s objective is simply to destroy the enemy. This book attempts to tell of the many ways in which he has tried, and is still trying, to do so.”—Irwin R. Blacker, Introduction
