Download or read book Merc written by Jay Mallin and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2018-05-19 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The “fast-paced, fascinating, often shocking” account of hired guns and their heroic adventures in hotspots around the world—includes photos (Milwaukee Journal). Merc is a classic; first published in 1979, its characters and stories are as vivid and worthy of retelling today. American soldiers of fortune have seen action on nearly every battlefield in history—from the Revolutionary War to modern times, men like John Early, a member of the famed Selous Scouts who hunted terrorists in Rhodesia. They fight because they enjoy combat, for causes in which they passionately believe, for money, or simply for adventure. The mercs profiled in this book range from West Point graduates and Harvard poets to former CIA agents and ex-cons. They are men like William Morgan, a guerrilla leader in the Cuban uprising against Fulgencio Batista, later imprisoned and executed by Fidel Castro; David Marcus, raised in New York’s Hell’s Kitchen, who went on to a brilliant career in law and reform politics and died in 1947 fighting for the survival of a tiny new nation called Israel; William Brooks, Vietnam Special Forces veteran who, down and out in a cheap Paris hotel, joined the French Foreign Legion and ended up in a remote African outpost where he lived on Coke, salt tablets, and paregoric while fighting Somali insurgents; and George Bacon, an ex-CIA operative in Laos with mysterious connections, who died fighting Cubans in Angola. Because their private histories parallel the larger history of unconventional warfare and political upheaval, Merc provides insight into global conflicts—but most of all it is a fast-paced, eye-opening account of a little-known but fascinating way of life.

Book Synopsis Sgt. Mickey and General Ike by : Michael James McKeogh
Download or read book Sgt. Mickey and General Ike written by Michael James McKeogh and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2016-07-26 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1946, this is a memoir of Eisenhower’s enlisted aide, Michael “Mickey” J. McKeogh, telling his experiences of serving the General for four years. An unabashed admirer of the general, he told a Washington Post reporter in 1948 that he knew “the Boss” about as well as one man can know another. “You see,” he explained, “I practically lived with him for four years and I saw him first thing in the morning and last thing at night. There was never anybody like him.” “Mickey had a choice job in the war, but it wasn’t easy, by any means. He was on call practically twenty-four hours a day and whenever he sought to get out of earshot of the General to go to a GI movie, or perhaps to steal an hour or two with Pearlie, he had to obtain the personal approval of the Supreme Commander, Allied Expeditionary Forces, whose reputation for fairness and generosity I can testify began at home. The old adage that no man is a hero to his valet is disproved by Mickey’s story. Few men ever had a more loyal and cheerful orderly, and in many ways, companion and confidant. “Former Naval Lieutenant Richard Lockridge has caught the spirit of Mickey’s story with uncanny perception. When I read some of the manuscript I could hear Mickey talking. “In years, probably decades and perhaps centuries to come students of history will find stories like this of value in judging the character of General Eisenhower. If Caesar’s orderly, as well as others close to great world figures during stirring times, had written a book like this while memory was fresh with details, how much better all of us would have known the characters who made and are making history.”—Introduction by HARRY C. BUTCHER, Naval Aide to General Eisenhower, 1942-1945

The navigator's role was a critical one and involved making complex directional calculations during the chaos of combat. Navigator turned author Earl Snyder was a whiz at steering pilots through the whirlwinds of skirmishes and had a knack for thinking on the fly in the middle of the storm. His unique improvisational skills earned him a place in the Circus and the important series of bombings that ended the war. This is his story.

Book Synopsis Nobody Said Not to Go by : Ken Cuthbertson
Download or read book Nobody Said Not to Go written by Ken Cuthbertson and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2016-03-22 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A rip-roaring bio” of the trailblazing New Yorker journalist that “explore[s] both the passion and dissatisfaction that fueled Hahn’s wanderlust” (Entertainment Weekly). Emily Hahn first challenged traditional gender roles in 1922 when she enrolled in the University of Wisconsin’s all-male College of Engineering, wearing trousers, smoking cigars, and adopting the nickname “Mickey.” Her love of writing led her to Manhattan, where she sold her first story to the New Yorker in 1929, launching a sixty-eight-year association with the magazine and a lifelong friendship with legendary editor Harold Ross. Imbued with an intense curiosity and zest for life, Hahn traveled to the Belgian Congo during the Great Depression, working for the Red Cross; set sail for Shanghai, becoming a Chinese poet’s concubine; had an illegitimate child with the head of the British Secret Service in Hong Kong, where she carried out underground relief work during World War II; and explored newly independent India in the 1950s. Back in the United States, Hahn built her literary career while also becoming a pioneer environmentalist and wildlife conservator. With a rich understanding of social history and a keen eye for colorful details and amusing anecdotes, author Ken Cuthbertson brings to life a brilliant, unconventional woman who traveled fearlessly because “nobody said not to go.” Hahn wrote hundreds of acclaimed articles and short stories as well as fifty books in many genres, and counted among her friends Rebecca West, Ernest Hemingway, Dorothy Parker, James Thurber, Jomo Kenyatta, and Madame and General Chiang Kai-shek.
