Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The exploits of the British Army's elite 22nd Special Air Service Regiment - the regiment of the SAS that forms part of the Regular army - are shrouded in mystery and myths abound about its members. But what is the truth behind the public facade of clinical professionalism? How has such a small regiment attracted so many weighty legends? And what is the purpose of the SAS in the 21st century? "Special Force" provides an original and unusually critical overview of the activities of the SAS from the Malayan Emergency of 1950 to the present day. In the context of a detailed and often controversial analysis of the post-war activities of the Regiment, MacKenzie establishes that the Regiment's almost legendary professional competence is often not backed up by reality. Far from being part of a structured deployment of strategic military assets, MacKenzie argues that the use of the SAS in recent years has been primarily driven by the 'entrepreneurial' actions of a few SAS commanding officers. "Special Force" not only offers a revelatory history of the SAS in the modern period, it is also a disturbing expose of the truth behind the myth. It will be essential reading for anyone with an interest in the British military - past, present and future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chaplain Bill Boice landed on D-Day, 6 June 1944, with the 22nd Infantry Regiment of the 4th Infantry Division and served with them as they fought across France, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Germany until V-E Day on 8 May 1945. He was there for the D-Day invasion, the hedgerow fighting, the taking of the port at Cherbourg, the St. Lo breakout, the liberation of Paris, the crossing of the Siegfried Line, the bloody fight in the Hurtgen Forest, the Battle of the Bulge, and the final drive across Germany in the early months of 1945. On the ship returning from Europe to prepare for the invasion of Japan, Chaplain Boice formed the 22nd Infantry Regiment Society, an organization that still exists today as the rallying point for veterans of the 22nd Infantry Regiment from all wars to renew their wartime bonds and preserve their stories of fighting with the 22nd Infantry Regiment. Bill Boice took it upon himself to write this history of the 22nd Infantry Regiment in World War II, completing the work in 1956, eleven years after his release from the Army. Never formally published, this book is being published during the 80th anniversary year of the 22nd Infantry Regiment's and the 4th Infantry Division's fight across Europe in WWII. All profits from the sale of this book will be used to pay for more research into the history of both the 22nd Infantry Regiment "Deeds not Words!" and the 4th Infantry Division "Steadfast and Loyal."

Download or read book Absolution written by Charles J Boyle and published by St. John's Press. This book was released on 2013-12-13 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Vietnam War opens the door for countless volumes of personal memoirs from the fighting men who waged it. Most are well crafted by the men who never thought they would write a book, especially one about Vietnam. Absolution is an exceptional work of one man's journey across those Asian battlefields in 1967 and 1968. Author Charles J. Boyle, takes you smack into the fighting from the first page of this authentic history and leaves you breathless all the way to the end. His descriptions of battle, how they were won or lost, and the men who fought them are spine chilling. Absolution is not just a story of the horror of war in Vietnam, but it is also one of love... love and admiration for the men who fought it. Thousands of young men, most of them teenagers, were thrust into the barbarity of that Asian civil war inadequately trained and initially armed with a defective weapon. In Vietnam, the foot soldier honed his "killing skills" by instinct and imagination. Out of Vietnam emerged a legion of men, struggling with an even greater battle, personal and private. They suffered a moral conflict that only those who have taken another life can comprehend. Then, undermining their gallant service in Vietnam, a powerful and biased news media created a myth that quickly spread across America. They said that the Vietnam-era soldier was a misfit; a perverse example of a military machine gone awry, wreaking havoc upon innocent civilians. Soon after the fighting was done in Vietnam, prominent news broadcasters coined a new phrase: "They only war we ever lost," they said. They want you to believe that the soldier lost the war, when, in fact, he lost only his youth, his innocence and sadly, many of his friends. Absolution will take you through that aftermath, offer solutions for the Post Traumatic Stress that these soldiers suffered, and will prove to you that these Vietnam Veterans were some of the finest soldiers that ever served America. Absolution is a remarkable resurrection of the Vietnam battlefield, told by an author who has "been there." It is an extraordinary and moving story, accurately portrayed, with all the valor, pain, and sacrifice that distinguished Vietnam from other wars. It is superb history and great reading. It will tear at your heart and make you want to cry.
