Download or read book Oliver's War written by Mike Welham and published by Welham Books. This book was released on 2017-01-30 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oliver was born in the aftermath of the First World War; he grew up on a large estate learning the skills of poachers, fieldcraft, shooting and an instinct for navigation. From an idyllic life he was sucked into the Second World War; he joined the army where he was given a commission. He had no idea that his future was to involve high adventure, combined with a bevy of female admirers who were to affect his life.Formal soldiering did not sit well with him so the army focused his destiny. He trained as a commando. Posted to Egypt, the Long Range Desert Group sought his military and linguistic skills; he soon found himself deep behind the enemy lines gathering intelligence. Then he was transferred to the Special Air Service, where he took part in behind-the-lines raids against enemy targets in North Africa. As the war in the desert drew to a close, he returned to England to prepare for the invasion of Europe. He led a four-man SAS team who were dropped into occupied France. Their mission was to blow up railway lines and trains at the market town of Le Dorat in south-west France, so as to delay the German army's hasty move north to counter the D-Day landings.

Book excerpt: In the early 1900s, William Rockefeller of Standard Oil, one of the world's wealthiest, most powerful businessmen, decided to purchase a vast estate in the Adirondack Mountains of northern New York State. The land he wanted consisted of traditional hunting and fishing grounds vital to settlers who had lived in the mountains for generations. He purchased more than 50,000 acres and allowed no trespassing on his property.To complete his estate, Rockefeller needed to remove the village of Brandon, which stood in his way. Most of the residents left or were coerced by Rockefeller into leaving. A variety of aggressive, onerous tactic were used to drive the people of Brandon from their homes.A diminutive lumberjack named Oliver Lamora resisted, and for a decade the two men battled in the forest and in the courts of New York State. The confrontation grew into a fight for control of the Adirondacks, and was followed by newspapers from coast to coast. Threats, violence, arson, and murder all played a role in the struggle. It pitted wealthy outsiders against poor mountain natives, and the two main protagonists, Rockefeller and Lamora, were portrayed as a modern-day version of David and Goliath. This is the uplifting, true story of a pioneer woodsman's heroic battle against incredible odds.

Book Synopsis Britain's Secret Propaganda War by : Paul Lashmar
Download or read book Britain's Secret Propaganda War written by Paul Lashmar and published by Alan Sutton Publishing. This book was released on 1998 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Britain's Secret Propaganda War is the first book to be written about The Foreign Office's Information Research Department (IRD) -- an important chapter in the history of the Cold War. The narrative is driven by actual accounts of IRD covert operations and includes a number of "exclusives." The IRD was set up under the Labour Government in 1948 and clandestinely financed from the Secret Intelligence Service budget. A large organisation with close links to MI6 -- with whom it shared many personnel -- it waged a vigorous covert propaganda campaign against Eastern Bloc Communism for nearly thirty years using journalists, politicians, academics and trade unionists -none of whom were "unwitting." Such famous names as George Orwell, Denis Healey, Stephen Spender, Bertrand Russell and Guy Burgess helped or backed the work of IRD.

Book Synopsis African American Doctors of World War I by : W. Douglas Fisher
Download or read book African American Doctors of World War I written by W. Douglas Fisher and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-11-27 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In World War I, 104 African American doctors joined the United States Army to care for the 40,000 men of the 92nd and 93rd Divisions, the Army's only black combat units. The infantry regiments of the 93rd arrived first and were turned over to the French to fill gaps in their decimated lines. The 92nd Division came later and fought alongside other American units. Some of those doctors rose to prominence; others died young or later succumbed to the economic and social challenges of the times. Beginning with their assignment to the Medical Officers Training Camp (Colored)--the only one in U.S. history--this book covers the early years, education and war experiences of these physicians, as well as their careers in the black communities of early 20th century America.
Book Synopsis Peter Oliver’s “Origin and Progress of the American Rebellion” by : Peter Oliver
Download or read book Peter Oliver’s “Origin and Progress of the American Rebellion” written by Peter Oliver and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 1967 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One difficulty in writing a balanced history of the American Revolution arises in part from its success as a creator of our nation and our nationalistic sentiment. Unlike the Civil War, unlike the French Revolution, the American Revolution produced no lingering social trauma in the United Statesit is a historic event widely applauded by Americans today as both necessary and desirable. But one consequence of this happy unanimity is that the chief losers of the War of Independencethe American Loyalistshave fared badly at the hands of historians. This explains, in part, why the account of the Revolution recorded by self-professed Loyalist and Chief Justice of the Superior Court of Massachusetts, Peter Oliver, has heretofore been so routinely overlooked. Oliver's manuscript, entitled "The Origins & Progress of the American Rebellion," written in 1781, challenges the motives of the founding fathers, and depicts the revolution as passion, plotting, and violence. His descriptions of the leaders of the patriot party, of their program and motives, are unforgiving, bitter, and inevitably partisan. But it records the impressions of one who had experienced these events, knew most of the combatants intimately, and saw the collapse of the society he had lived in. His history is a very important contemporary account of the origins of the revolution in Massachusetts, and is now presented here in it entirety for the first time.
