Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from In the Track of the Troops: A Tale of Modern War Jeffry childers, the hero and narrator of this tale, was introduced to me by Mr. Brain, a friend Who, in the course of a pretty long acquaintance, has favoured me With numerous introductions to people of varied character - good, bad, and ih different. Mr. Childers was so importunate, and urged me With so much fervour to supervise his work - to point his moral and adorn his tale - that I con sented to do so on the distinct understanding that I should be entitled to verify all his facts, modify his sentences, reverse his objectionable judgments, and exclude everything that should in any degree savour of exaggeration. The intelligent reader Will thus easily understand the relation that sub sists between J effry Childers and myself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much to my surprise, I found that neither Nicholas Naranovitsch nor Bella nor my mother wouldconsent to witness my experiments with dynamite that day.As my old chum approached to greet me on the lawn before breakfast the day following, I could nothelp admiring his fine, tall, athletic figure. I don't know how it is, but I have always felt, somehow, asif I looked up at him, although we were both exactly the same height-six feet one without ourboots. I suppose it must have been owing to his standing so erect, while I slouched a little. Perhapsmy looking up to him mentally had something to do with it."You'll come to-day, won't you?" I said, referring to the experiments."Of course I will, old boy; but," he added, with a smile, "only on one condition.""What may that be?""That you don't bother Bella with minute details."Of course I promised not to say a word unless asked for explanations, and after breakfast we allwent to a part of the grounds which I wished to bring under cultivation. It was at that timeencumbered with several large trees, old roots, and a number of boulders."Come along with us, Lancey," I said to the groom, who was also my laboratory assistant, andwhom I met in the stable-yard, the scene of his memorable blowing-up. "I am about to try the effectof an explosive, and wish you to understand the details.""Yes, sir," replied Lancey, with a respectful touch of his cap; "I must say, sir, if you'll allow me, Inever knowed any one like you, sir, for goin' into details except one, and that one-""Ah, yes, I know, that was your friend the Scotch boy," said I, interrupting; but Lancey was aprivileged servant, and would not be interrupted."Yes, sir," he resumed, "the Scotch boy Sandy. We was at school together in Edinburgh, where I gotthe most o' my edication, and I never did see such a boy, sir, for goin' into-""Yes, yes, Lancey, I know; but I haven't time to talk about him just now. We are going to the bit ofwaste ground in the hollow; follow us there."

Download or read book First Platoon written by Annie Jacobsen and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-01-12 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A powerful story of war in our time, of love of country, the experience of tragedy, and a platoon at the center of it all. This is a story that starts off close and goes very big. The initial part of the story might sound familiar at first: it is about a platoon of mostly nineteen-year-old boys sent to Afghanistan, and an experience that ends abruptly in catastrophe. Their part of the story folds into the next: inexorably linked to those soldiers and never comprehensively reported before is the U.S. Department of Defense’s quest to build the world’s most powerful biometrics database, with the ability to identify, monitor, catalog, and police people all over the world. First Platoon is an American saga that illuminates a transformation of society made possible by this new technology. Part war story, part legal drama, it is about identity in the age of identification. About humanity—physical bravery, trauma, PTSD, a yearning to do right and good—in the age of biometrics, which reduce people to iris scans, fingerprint scans, voice patterning, detection by odor, gait, and more. And about the power of point of view in a burgeoning surveillance state. Based on hundreds of formerly classified documents, FOIA requests, and exclusive interviews, First Platoon is an investigative exposé by a master chronicler of government secrets. First Platoon reveals a post–9/11 Pentagon whose identification machines have grown more capable than the humans who must make sense of them. A Pentagon so powerful it can cover up its own internal mistakes in pursuit of endless wars. And a people at its mercy, in its last moments before a fundamental change so complete it might be impossible to take back.
Book Synopsis In the Track of the Troops by : Robert Michael Ballantyne
Download or read book In the Track of the Troops written by Robert Michael Ballantyne and published by . This book was released on 2018-05-16 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When at a sufficient distance from the ship, an order was given by the officer in charge. Immediately the outrigger on the right or starboard side was run out by invisible hands to its full extent -- apparently fifteen feet beyond the bow of the launch; then the inner end of the outrigger was tilted violently into the air, so that the other end with its torpedo was thrust down ten feet below the surface of the water. This, I was told, is about the depth at which an enemy's ship ought to be struck. The launch, still going at full speed, was now supposed to have run so close to the enemy, that the submerged torpedo was about to strike her.R. M. Ballantyne (24 April 1825 - 8 February 1894) was a Scottish juvenile fiction writer.Born Robert Michael Ballantyne in Edinburgh, he was part of a famous family of printers and publishers. At the age of 16 he went to Canada and was six years in the service of the Hudson's Bay Company. He returned to Scotland in 1847, and published his first book the following year, Hudson's Bay: or, Life in the Wilds of North America. For some time he was employed by Messrs Constable, the publishers, but in 1856 he gave up business for the profession of literature, and began the series of adventure stories for the young with which his name is popularly associated.
Download or read book House to House written by David Bellavia and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-12-25 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 8 November 2004, the largest battle of the War on Terror began, with the US Army's assault on Fallujah and its network of tens of thousands of insurgents hiding in fortified bunkers, on rooftops, and inside booby-trapped houses. For Sgt. David Bellavia of 3rd Platoon, Alpha Company, it quickly turned into a battle on foot, from street to street and house to house. On the second day, he and his men laid siege to a mosque, only to be driven to a rooftop and surrounded, before heavy artillery could smash through to rescue them. By the third day, Bellavia charges an insurgent-filled house and finds himself trapped with six enemy fighters. One by one, he shoots, wrestles, stabs, and kills five of them, until his men arrive to take care of the final target. It is one of the most hair-raising battle stories of any age -- yet it does not spell the end of Bellavia's service. It would take serveral more weeks before the Battle of Fallujah finally came to a close, with Bellavia, miraculously, alive. In the words of the author: "HOUSE TO HOUSE holds nothing back. It is a raw, gritty look at killing and combat and how men react to it. It is gut-wrenching, shocking and brutal. It is honest. It is not a glorification of war. Yet it will not shy from acknowledging this: sometimes it takes something as terrible as war for the full beauty of the human spirit to emerge."
