Book excerpt: Lena Kristoff is tricked into working as a spy for the American CIA in Leningrad. She is a Soviet researcher on one of the best kept secret projects of the 1970s, the computer model of the entire Soviet economic system. If she can smuggle a copy of its secret files to the West, she can help change her country's totalitarian government and buy freedom for her family.Then she meets an American CIA courier named Eric Larson and falls in love. They spend happy days in Leningrad together, until that winter, when he is discovered carrying her secret files. He must flee Russia across the frozen Baltic Sea to Finland. Alas, he is shot and she is gunned down too.Or so it seems.There is much more to the story: An investigation by the military intelligence agency, the GRU, and the dreaded KGB. Soviet operatives chase her as she desperately flees across Eastern Europe. Trapped in Prague with the GRU closing in, her secret war against her government seems doomed to failure.A magnificent story of love, loss, and courage, Lena's Secret War portrays historic events in the making. It is a story of how one brave individual can profoundly alter the trajectory of her gray, spirt-crushing world. A complex modern Russian espionage story and love affair reminiscent of Dr. Zhivago and The Russia House.

Download or read book Shadow Commander written by Mike Guardia and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2015-11-24 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The true story of the US Army legend who organized “Blackburn’s Headhunters” against Japan in WWII and went on to initiate Special Forces operations in Vietnam. The fires on Bataan burned on the evening of April 9, 1942—illuminating the white flags of surrender against the dark sky. Outnumbered and outgunned, remnants of the American-Philippine army surrendered to the forces of the Rising Sun. Yet US Army Captain Donald D. Blackburn refused to lay down his arms. With future Special Forces legend Russell Volckmann, Blackburn escaped to the jungles of North Luzon, where they raised a private army of 22,000 men against the Japanese. His organization of native tribes into guerrilla fighters would lead to the destruction of the enemy’s naval base at Aparri. But Blackburn’s amazing accomplishments would not end with the victory in the Pacific. He would go on to play a key role in initiating Army Special Forces operations in Southeast Asia, spearheading Operation White Star in Laos as commander of the 77th Special Forces Group and eventually taking command of the highly classified Studies and Observations Group (SOG), charged with performing secret missions now that main-force Communist incursions were on the rise. In the wake of the CIA’s disastrous Leaping Lena program, in 1964, Blackburn revitalized the Special Operations campaign in South Vietnam. Sending reconnaissance teams into Cambodia and North Vietnam, he discovered the clandestine networks and supply nodes of the Ho Chi Minh Trail. Taking the information directly to General Westmoreland, Blackburn was authorized to conduct full-scale operations against the NVA and Viet Cong in Laos and Cambodia. In combats large and small, the Communists realized they had met a master of insurgent tactics—and he was on the US side. Following his return to the US, Blackburn was the architect of the infamous Son Tay Prison Raid, officially termed Operation Ivory Coast, the largest prisoner-of-war rescue mission—and, indeed, the largest Army Special Forces operation—of the Vietnam War. During a period when US troops in Southeast Asia faced guerrilla armies on every side, America had a superb covert commander of its own. This book follows Blackburn through both his youthful days of desperate combat and his time as a commander, imparting his lessons to the new ranks of Army Special Forces.

Book excerpt: Andy Marino's A Quiet American is an effort to examine the life of a genuine American hero whose political and cultural influence remain largely unacknowledged. The story of Varian Fry, called the "real Rick" of Casablanca, is perhaps one of the most unknown, yet extraordinary sagas of World War II. This penetrating biography follows Varian Fry through his adult life--from his beginnings in the 1930s as a Harvard graduate and political journalist to his arrival in Marseille in 1940 where he managed to spirit away thousands of Europe's cultural elite by falsifying passports, creating new identities, and always resorting to subterfuge. The list of those saved includes: Hannah Arendt, Andre Breton, Franz Werful and his wife Alma Mahler, Heinrich Mann, Marc Chagall, Jacques Lipchitz, Andre Masson, and Max Ernst among others.
