Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • After consolidating his gains against the enemy English, King Robert the Bruce of Scotland sends his best soldiers to fortify the lawless borders. These legendary warriors of the Highland Guard let nothing come before king and country—except the calling of their heart. Of all Bruce’s elite warriors, Robert “Raider” Boyd is the most formidable. A true patriot whose bare hands are a deadly weapon, Robbie is the fierce enforcer of the Guard, and his hatred of the English has been honed to a razor-sharp edge. But vengeance proves bittersweet when his enemy’s beautiful sister falls into his hands and he finds himself fighting temptation—a battle he badly wants to lose. Lady Rosalin Clifford barely recognizes the rebel prisoner she saved from execution six years ago. Though her girlish ideals for fairness have matured into a passion for justice, Rosalin believes she betrayed her brother when she helped this dangerous man escape. Now her traitorous act has come back to haunt her. But she can’t deny the longing this tormented warrior ignites in her, or deny the passion that turns sworn enemies into lovers. Is the gentle love of a true English Rose enough to free Scotland’s most brutal warrior from a path of vengeance—before it’s too late?

Book Synopsis The Cruise Of The Raider Wolf by : Roy Alexander
Download or read book The Cruise Of The Raider Wolf written by Roy Alexander and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cruise of the Raider “Wolf” is not intended as another war book; it is the story of one of the strangest and greatest sea adventures of modern times. The Wolf has become a legendary figure—a name connected with strange happenings at sea; but to most people it is only a name. The actual cruise was a shadowy, mysterious affair; and for many reasons the history of the cruise has remained equally vague. Briefly, this raider slipped out of Germany in 1916, and for fifteen months roamed the seas of the world depending for fuel and food on the captures she made. Her very existence depended on these captures not becoming known. Ships encountering the Wolf therefore simply disappeared, their fate unknown. The raider roamed the Atlantic, Indian, Pacific oceans, even touched the Arctic and Antarctic seas. And she capped this unparalleled cruise by running the blockade back to Kiel. Incidentally, the Wolf was the only enemy warship to enter Australian or New Zealand waters. She mined the coasts of both these countries. After the raider’s return to Germany there was a world-wide blaze of publicity. The reception of the Wolf’s men in Berlin was one of the outstanding war events in the German capital. Then the Wolf disappeared from public notice as quickly as she became famous. One reason for this was that Captain Nerger, the raider’s commander, was not a publicity seeker and was not in particularly high favour in Germany. It was necessary to receive him with honour after he brought his ship back from such a cruise, but after that he was quietly moved to an obscure post and was heard of no more. The author was a prisoner aboard the raider for the last nine months of the cruise.
Download or read book The Sea Devil written by Sam Jefferson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-09-21 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tasked with destroying as many British merchant ships as possible, German aristocrat Felix von Luckner and his ship the Seeadler succeeded in spectacular fashion. n 1916, a three-masted windjammer bearing Norwegian colours sailed out of a quiet anchorage in Germany, loaded with cargo and apparently bound for Australia. Her true mission was quite different. The ship was, in fact, the SMS Seeadler, commanded by swashbuckling German aristocrat Felix von Luckner. Over an epic voyage, he used cunning and deception to destroy fourteen merchant ships, all the while evading the utterly foxed and infuriated British Admiralty in a daring game of cat and mouse. This rip-roaring World War I story depicts a life of espionage, counterespionage and piracy of the most gentlemanly kind.

Download or read book RAIDERS written by T.L. MILLER and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2004-09-15 with total page 682 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Living in the threat of the third war, John Daniels follows his family tradition and begins training his child to survive. At the age of five, she is taught different styles of martial arts as well as hunting, tracking, and traps. The untimely death of the childs parents throws her into the middle of the war to use what she has learned. One day at a time, Kimber Daniels survives as she was raised to do. Anger for the people responsible for her parents’ death pushes her down the path of revenge. Along the way, the vengeful survivalist discovers she isn’t alone on the path of hate and unknowingly forms what would turn out to be the most dangerous rebel group of that war. The Raiders. Nothing left to lose; the rebels wage their own war on the enemy in a fight for their home and lives. YEAR: 2420 Four hundred years after Earths third war, Supreme Commander Radkins, self appointed leader of the Alterrian nation discovers the groups’ talents. In the middle of a war he started, he develops an interest in the group and what they could offer his troops. The high-tech time he lives in has the best weapons to offer, skilled pilots as well as battle ships powerful enough to destroy planets. The technology of the years had taken away from the people however. Trained to survive a push button world, ground assaults were nothing but stories to the military of this time. Sights set on the rebels from Earths past; Radkins develops a time ship, the Epoch-Hie, to bring the group to his war. Depending on the fact that they were traitors to their country and government, he planned to buy their services. He had no doubts that for the right price, the Raiders would help him over power and enslave the Galithians who were fighting the rebellion against him. Upon discovering Radkins plans, the rebellion is faced with yet another problem in defeating the Alterrian forces. Barely surviving as it was, they would not be able to withstand what the Raiders could do to the rebellion. Appointed to find the group, Major Kile Dorant and the pilots of Fire Squad begin the search. Reading the groups past in the history is alarming to say the least. Known as traitors, murderers, and deserters, the Raiders training and skills would undoubtedly destroy the rebellion if Radkins succeeded in using the group against them.

Book Synopsis Perilous Options by : Lucien S. Vandenbroucke
Download or read book Perilous Options written by Lucien S. Vandenbroucke and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1993 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the history of warfare, small battalions of warriors have repeatedly conducted sudden strikes on enemies deep within enemy lines with limited resources. These strikes rely largely on surprise, speed, and maneuver to defeat an often numerically superior enemy. In the past three decades, the United States has repeatedly used such special operations in an effort to achieve key foreign policy objectives. Many of these operations carried out by highly trained commando forces have failed. In Perilous Options: Special Operations as an Instrument of U.S. Foreign Policy, Lucien Vandenbroucke examines the use and misuse of special operations through an in-depth analysis of four operations - the Bay of Pigs invasion, the Sontay raid to rescue POWs in North Vietnam, the Mayaquez operation, and the Iran hostage rescue mission. He identifies recurrent problems in the way the United States government has prepared and executed such operations that account for their poor outcomes. These include faulty intelligence, poor interagency and interservice cooperation and coordination, inadequate information and advice provided to decisionmakers, wishful thinking on the part of decisionmakers, and micromanagement from outside the theater of operations. In addition to identifying the recurrent problems that have plagued U.S. special operations in the past. Vandenbroucke explores the extent to which recent efforts to revitalize the U.S. operations capability have addressed these problems, identifying additional changes that can improve the government's ability to plan, evaluate, and execute such operations. Drawing extensively on recently declassified government documents, interviews with keydecisionmakers and participants, and other primary material, Perilous Options is the first systematic in-depth analysis of the way the United States plans and executes strategic special operations. This-original analysis will be essential reading for scholars and students of United States foreign policy, contemporary diplomatic history, and political science.

Book Synopsis Into the Rising Sun by : Patrick K. O'Donnell
Download or read book Into the Rising Sun written by Patrick K. O'Donnell and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-07-13 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his award-winning book Beyond Valor, Patrick O’Donnell reveals the true nature of the European Theater in World War II, as told by those who survived. Now, with Into the Rising Sun, O’Donnell tells the story of the brutal Pacific War, based on hundreds of interviews spanning a decade. The men who fought their way across the Pacific during World War II had to possess something more than just courage. They faced a cruel, fanatical enemy in the Japanese, an enemy willing to use anything for victory, from kamikaze flights to human-guided torpedoes. Over the course of the war, Marines, paratroopers, and rangers spearheaded D-Day–sized beach assaults, encountered cannibalism, suffered friendly-fire incidents, and endured torture as prisoners of war. Though they are truly heroes, they claim no glory for themselves. As one soldier put it, "When somebody gets decorated, it’s because a lot of other men died." By at last telling their stories, these men present a hard, unvarnished look at the war on the ground, a final gift from aging warriors who have already given so much. Only with these accounts can the true horror of the war in the Pacific be fully known. Together with detailed maps of each battle, Into the Rising Sun offers a complete yet deeply personal account of the war in the Pacific and a ground-level view of some of history’s most brutal combat.
