Book Synopsis Fire Support Bases Vietnam by : Bruce Picken
Download or read book Fire Support Bases Vietnam written by Bruce Picken and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-02-15 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fire Support Bases Vietnam is a meticulous documentation of the construction, location and role of fire support bases during the Vietnam War, compiled by Vietnam veteran Bruce Picken. Often makeshift bases hacked out of primary jungle, these artillery gun areas provided essential support to infantry field units during operations in South Vietnam. In its simplest sense, a fire support base was an often hastily constructed fortified artillery base position, usually sited forward close to the centre of the area of operations in support of task force, battalion or company operations. The role of the fire support base was to bring artillery and mortar fire within range of friendly forces operating in depth. Artillery gun areas were not unique to the Vietnam conflict. In previous wars they were deployed in allied territory to cover the front lines and to support advancing troops. The concept was first applied in Vietnam by US forces and quickly adapted by Australian forces arriving in Phuoc Tuy Province in May 1966 to fight a new kind of war. This conflict was not like its predecessors and the fire support bases were now more usually sited in territory dominated by the enemy to provide much-needed protection for forces operating in bitterly contested areas. Fire Support Bases Vietnam is a detailed account that identifies every fire support base by date, location and role and provides an outline of the operations in which they participated. This is an essential reference book for those with a serious interest in the Vietnam War, and adds valuable detail to the study of a campaign that occupies a unique place in the Australian psyche.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Earth Tilt, Book IV: The Search for Brother Dennis, the world is recovering from massive disruption, but there's a long way to go for complete restoration. Susan Darby and her husband J.J. have come through the turmoil and adjusted to a new way of living in Paradise Valley, Virginia. But there's no electricity, no telephones or telegraph, and sporadic mail delivery comes by horse from across the altered landscape. When Susan receives a message that her brother, Dennis Kingsley, has been imprisoned on false charges and may face execution, she and J.J. embark on a rescue mission. Together they journey across a North America that has been thrown back into the conditions of the nineteenth century, depending on horse-drawn wagons and unreliable train service with passengers pressed into service as guards against bandits. Governments are fragmented, and town militias are not always available to keep the peace. It's nearly impossible to know who they can trust. As their supplies dwindle, finding Dennis proves more difficult than they ever imagined. Will they be successful in their quest? And if they are able to rescue him, can they persuade Dennis to return home, or will they join his rebellion?

Absolutely! For Archeologist Lia Pierce, all that and more comes to mind when she suddenly finds herself in the wrong place, wrong time scenario that lands her in a wooden cage, beaten, battered, and bedraggled. She had set out to find an ancient mysterious dig site said only to be a legend, but the Brazilian rain forest held more danger than just the creatures of the night. Now Lia must rely on the one thing she has tried her entire life to avoid. When a man with a SEALs uniform and a steel grip breaks her from her prison, she finds him not only an honorable man but one hell of a tempting package. Oh yes, he is as sexy as they come with his own attitude to match hers. But she won't make this SEALs job easy to keep her safe. Petty Officer Hawke Night is not a man to lose focus over a woman, but when it comes to this fiery hot–tempered woman, all common sense goes right out the window. She drives him crazy, but the more he tells himself to back off, the more he feels the pull to be closer to her. If he doesn't strangle her first that is! But that is only one challenge of many. Not only does he go against everything he is to keep her safe, but he also learns that the trouble doesn't just end in the jungle. His job just became a hell of a lot harder when he is faced with more than one enemy, wanting her dead and a woman who has not only blindsided him but also becomes the biggest pain in his ass that he never saw coming. She may not want to want him, but she is damn well going to have this SEAL watching her six. When it comes to this sassy, strong, beautiful five–ten woman, Hawke takes on a deathly crash collision course straight into a brick emotional wall... This woman should come with her own warning label... So honorable, even his blood should be red, white, and blue...

And almost too late, the DCI realise their mistake. To quell growing descent from the populace, the Federation must perpetuate the myth that the natives are Federation rebels. Yet Fion and Bryton, begin to realise the natives have a great deal more on their agenda than holding onto their way of life.

Meanwhile, Her Royal Highness recognizes she is in a position to use the falsehood of rebel insurgents in advancing her own design ... and unwittingly upsetting the natives’ plans. Aramay, while falling in love with the natives’ way of life, is yearning to meet that one person she has instantly fallen for. And it is here that she begins to learn about her own history which carries with it both sadness and joy. The second of a far-reaching fantasy epic, The Janus Set, continues to reveal the story of Aramay’s life.

This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: [Includes 2 charts, 6 diagrams, 16 maps, and 21 illustrations] “This monograph describes U.S. Army Riverine planning and operations in the Republic of Vietnam during the years 1966 through 1969. Since the personal experience of the author was with preparations for riverine operations and the initial operations themselves, emphasis has been placed on these activities through early 1968. In summarizing operations conducted in the balance of the three-year period, particular attention has been called to significant trends or changes in riverine operations in Vietnam, a co-operative enterprise of the U.S. Army and the U.S. Navy. “Looking back from the vantage point of early 1972, this study attempts to reconstruct the events and describe the situation as it was from 1966 through 1969, using official records, reports, and personal interviews.” The Author - “Major General William Fulton, was intimately involved in the early development of the riverine warfare concept as commander of the 2d Brigade, 9th Infantry Division, which arrived in Vietnam in January 1967 and immediately began combat operations in the Mekong Delta. In March the brigade moved into Dong Tam, the base created by dredging sand from the bottom of an arm of the Mekong River. In early June the brigade teamed with Navy Task Force 117 to form the Mobile Riverine Force. During World War II General Fulton fought in Italy and during the Korean War served on the staff of Army Forces Far East Advance.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every war has at least one - a unit so different, so daring, that it becomes the stuff of which legends are made and heroes are born. Among the South African forces fighting in Angola from 1975 to 1989, that unit was 32 Battalion. Founded in utmost secrecy from the vanquished remnants of a foreign rebel movement, undefeated in 12 years of front-line battle, feared by enemies that included both conventional Cuban armies and Namibian guerrilla fighters, the Buffalo Soldiers became the South African army’s best combat unit since World War II, with no fewer than 13 members winning the highest decoration for bravery under fire. But when peace broke out in southern Africa, the victors of Savate became the victims of sophistry. Their fate and future determined by politicians who understood little and cared less about this truly unique fraternity, 32 Battalion ceased to exist in 1993, its short history and long list of battle honours known only to those whose enemies called them Os Terriveis - the Terrible Ones. Now, for the first time, the story of 32 Battalion can be told in full, with neither adornment nor apology, by one of its longest-serving members. The book draws from top secret documents, revealing information that has never been made public before. Also included are rare photographs that evoke the colourful, and often controversial, history of 32 Battalion, as well as detailed maps depicting specific operations and deployments.
