Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An American soldier in Vietnam is guided through the war by a supernatural spirit in Robert Goswitz’s The Dragon Soldier’s Good Fortune. Pvt. Ed Lansky is a fresh recruit in Vietnam, trying to navigate his way through the war-torn region. It will take more than basic training to survive dangerous missions through the oppressive heat of the jungles against the tactics of an unpredictable enemy. From Sergeant Chen, whose arms are covered in dragon tattoos, Lansky learns how the Dragon Spirit protected the Vietnamese from evil specters in ancient times. Skeptical of Chen’s true belief in the country’s Dragon power, Lansky chooses to place his faith in the recreational drugs circulating among the troops to cope with his tour of duty. But in time he learns that there is something greater watching over him, keeping him safe from the horrors of war and healing his pain. A large, green dragon has seemingly bonded with Lansky, making him realize that this Vietnamese Spirit is no myth, and embraces his protector. Pvt. Vernon Huddle is suspicious of Lansky’s continued, unscathed survival in battle after battle. As Lansky receives medals and media recognition for his heroics, Huddle believes his uncanny success portends an approaching apocalypse that may consume their very souls. And as the war worsens for last remaining American infantry in Vietnam, Lansky wonders why the country’s Dragon Spirit chose him—and if its power will see him safely home . . .

Book excerpt: An old Tibetan monk has presented Paul and Sarah Manhart—the world’s only husband and wife cryptozoology team—an unusual gift: a claw from a pterosaur Paul identifies to have lived during the time of the dinosaurs. The problem is that the claw is less than sixty years old, enticing them to embark on a expedition to the “rooftop of the world” to see whether others of its kind still roam the rarified air of Tibet. Only they hadn’t bargained on getting caught up in a treacherous game of cat and mouse between the Chinese Army and winged creatures that are as vicious as they are terrifying. Forced to not only fend off creatures capable of killing with a single snap of their jaws but also the efforts of opportunistic Chinese Army officers intent on seeing them dead in an effort to cover up their own nefarious deeds. Fortunately, they find an unlikely ally in the guise of a surly and ruthless colonel named Deng, the only man capable of providing them their only chance at survival—if they aren’t already too late.

Download or read book Homer Lea written by Lawrence M. Kaplan and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The unlikely story of Lea’s attempts to train a cadre of soldiers in American Chinatowns who would return to their homeland to make it a modern world power.” —Pacific Historical Review As a five-feet-three-inch hunchback who weighed about 100 pounds, Homer Lea (1876–1912), was an unlikely candidate for life on the battlefield, yet he became a world-renowned military hero. Homer Lea: American Soldier of Fortune paints a revealing portrait of a diminutive yet determined man who never earned his valor on the field of battle, but left an indelible mark on his times. Lawrence M. Kaplan draws from extensive research to illuminate the life of a “man of mystery,” while also yielding a clearer understanding of the early twentieth-century Chinese underground reform and revolutionary movements. Lea’s career began in the inner circles of a powerful Chinese movement in San Francisco that led him to a generalship during the Boxer Rebellion. Fixated with commanding his own Chinese army, Lea’s inflated aspirations were almost always dashed by reality. Although he never achieved the leadership role for which he strived, he became a trusted advisor to revolutionary leader Dr. Sun Yat-sen during the 1911 revolution that overthrew the Manchu Dynasty. As an author, Lea garnered fame for two books on geopolitics: The Valor of Ignorance, which examined weaknesses in the American defenses and included dire warnings of an impending Japanese-American war, and The Day of the Saxon, which predicted the decline of the British Empire. More than a character study, this biography provides insight into the establishment and execution of underground reform and revolutionary movements within US immigrant communities and in southern China, as well as early twentieth-century geopolitical thought.

Often the only American going into combat with his South Vietnamese counterparts, Haseman highlights the importance of trust and confidence between advisors and their units and the courage of the men he fought with during the 1972 North Vietnamese summer offensive.
