＜p＞The enemy isn't always outside the wire. Sometimes, the deadliest threats wear your own uniform.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Captain Jack Thompson is a seasoned Army officer on the brink of retirement. He's spent years following orders, surviving deployment after deployment, and preparing to walk away from the war machine. But just weeks before his contract ends, he's diverted to Kandahar under the guise of a routine logistics audit.＜/p＞ ＜p＞It should have been simple. Count crates. File reports. Leave quietly.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Instead, Jack uncovers whispers of missing supplies, falsified inventory logs, and suspiciously "spoiled" medical crates that weigh far more than they should. What begins as paperwork quickly unravels into a dark web of corruption and cover-ups. When soldiers start turning up dead-unidentified, mutilated, and hidden in body bags with no matching casualty reports-Jack realizes he's not auditing a base. He's auditing a crime scene.＜/p＞ ＜p＞And someone powerful is watching his every move.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Then comes Layla-an impossibly beautiful, sharp-tongued interpreter with ties to both U.S. intelligence and a hidden past that cuts deeper than war itself. She's more than a translator. She's the daughter of a Taliban commander, raised in shadows, and trained to survive. Her beauty disarms. Her mind is a weapon. And the moment she locks eyes with Jack, something shifts. They shouldn't fall for each other-not in a place like this. Not while secrets threaten to swallow them whole.＜/p＞ ＜p＞But in a land where nothing is certain, their chemistry ignites into a connection that's as undeniable as it is dangerous.＜/p＞ ＜p＞As their investigation deepens, Jack and Layla uncover a far-reaching conspiracy that spans continents. U.S. military gear is being smuggled out through body bags and sealed coffins, laundered through foreign shell companies, and sold on the black market. Drug cartels, warlords, corrupt contractors-even NATO officers-all have a piece of the pie. Billions of dollars are disappearing under the radar, and at the center of it all is a network operating from within Jack's own command.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Every discovery brings new twists:＜/p＞ ＜p＞Secret CIA raids with no oversight.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Disguised arms deals hidden in "humanitarian" shipments.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Rogue Afghan factions profiting from American supplies.＜/p＞ ＜p＞And a private warehouse in Berlin that doesn't exist on any official map.＜/p＞ ＜p＞When a coded message warns Jack to stop-or else-he and Layla are forced to flee. From the deserts of Afghanistan to the rooftops of Berlin and the quiet caf?s of Paris, they search for one final name. One final piece of evidence. One undeniable truth that could bring it all crashing down.＜/p＞ ＜p＞But with every step, the noose tightens.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Back home, a different kind of war awaits-one of politics, silence, and revenge. Even after escaping the battlefield, Jack and Layla are hunted. Someone doesn't want their truth told. Someone powerful. Someone deadly.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Their love is real. Their truth is dangerous.＜/p＞ ＜p＞And the war is far from over.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Sins of Kandahar is a hard-hitting military and political thriller from combat veteran and counterintelligence agent Tony Adjuder.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Conference of Officers in Charge of Government Hospitals Serving Veterans of the World War【電子書籍】[ Charles H. Burke ]

＜p＞The report focuses on various issues affecting the medical care and treatment of veterans who had returned from the war, including the management of physical injuries, mental health concerns, and the administrative and logistical challenges of the hospital system. Given the scale of the war and the number of soldiers affected by both physical wounds and the psychological toll of combat, this conference aimed to improve the quality and efficiency of care in the veteran hospitals and to streamline the resources and policies to better serve the men who had served in the war.Key topics likely discussed in the report include the establishment of new medical facilities, the training of hospital staff, and the implementation of specialized treatments for veterans suffering from conditions such as "shell shock" (now understood as PTSD). Additionally, there would have been attention paid to ensuring that veterans received proper benefits, including compensation and care, as well as creating a more organized system for handling the post-war medical and psychological needs of former soldiers.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Yesterday There Was Glory With the 4th Division, A.E.F., in World War I【電子書籍】[ Gerald Andrew Howell ]

In 1946, World War I veteran and self-described “buck private in the rear rank” Gerald Andrew Howell finished a memoir of the experiences of his squad from the 39th Infantry Regiment, 4th Division, and their “moments of horror, tragedy, humor, amour, [and] promiscuity” in Europe. This was “the old Army as it used to be,” Howell explainsーthe saga of the “down-trodden doughboy.” A few months later Howell was dead, his manuscript unpublished. Jeffrey Patrick discovered the memoir and the author’s correspondence with publishers and took on the task of bringing it to publication at last. Yesterday There Was Glory is an unpretentious account of men at war, from training camp to the occupation of Germany. It includes graphic descriptions of the battlefield, of shell fire, gas attacks, and lice. “Between the attacks the men would lay in their wet holes and pray for relief. But no relief came,” Howell remembers. He recalls much more than the horrors of combat, however, chronicling the diverse collection of heroes, professional warriors, shirkers, and braggarts that made up the American Expeditionary Forces. Howell and his comrades longed for wounds that would allow them to escape the war, but resolutely engaged the Germans in hand-to-hand combat. They poked fun at their comrades, but were willing to share their last can of food. They endured difficult marches, pursued “mademoiselles” and “frauleins,” and even staged a “strike” to protest mistreatment by their officers. They were as “ribald as any soldiery in any army,” Howell admits, but “underneath this veneer, they were really patriotic, steadfast and sincere.” Patrick provides an editor’s introduction and annotations to explain terms and sources in the memoir. Howell’s account preserves the flavor of army life with conversations and banter in soldier language, including the uncensored doughboy profanity often heard but seldom recorded.画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Implementation of State Anti-Corruption and Anti-Money Laundering Policy in the EU Member States Models for Improving Public Administration in the Ukraine【電子書籍】[ Michele Sciurba ]

＜p＞Money laundering schemes are constantly evolving, which requires public authorities to constantly up-date their knowledge and implement state-of-the-art measures to combat corruption. The monograph demonstrates how the Ukraine can improve its implementation of FATF recommendations to fight money laundering and corruption and how it can better organize the mechanisms of state regulation and the monitoring of financial activities. This monograph offers a new approach to implementing an anti-corruption strategy in Ukraine and suggests how the fight against corruption within government can be streamlined using modern methods and a risk-based approach. Drawing on the experience of EU countries through a comparative analysis of the rules and procedures for structuring public administration policy, this work proposes developing recommendations to strengthen the Ukrainian anti-money laundering and corruption policy. Corruption remains a widespread problem at various levels within Ukrainian public administration and it has significantly weakened public confidence in government and in the judicial system. In an international comparison of corruption in 180 countries, Ukraine ranks 130th, making it one of the most corrupt countries in the world. At the same time, Ukraine has an AML/CTF legal administrative framework in place that largely meets the current formal requirements of the FATF. The Ukraine has implemented AML and anti-corruption measures under the Council of Europe's Moneyval monitoring mechanism. In addition, Moneyval has been an associate member of the FATF since 2006. The National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) practices risk-based banking supervision and has made significant progress in creating transparency regarding the beneficial ownership of banks. In recent years, Ukraine has consistently removed criminal owners from the banking sector and established an efficient sanction regime in response to breaches of legal obligations, including the withdrawal of banking licenses. Furthermore, the establishment of a unified state register for beneficial ownership allows authorities to identify banking clients. In terms of mutual legal assistance on money laundering and corruption, the Ukraine has also made significant progress. Ultimately, the Ukrainian AML/CTF framework has been refined significantly in recent years. Today, there is a clear understanding of money laundering and terrorist financing risks in Ukraine both at the administrative level and at the level of the supervisory authorities. As a result, far-reaching legislation has been established. Nevertheless, this development cannot hide the fact that money laundering via shell companies is still part of everyday life in Ukraine. The Ukrainian criminal justice system continues to be heavily influenced by corruption and has failed to effectively combat it. Ukrainian cross-border prosecution of money laundering offences, in particular the confiscation of proceeds of crime in other countries, is ineffective due to a lack of experience and the absence of legislation spelling out direct areas of responsibility and formal procedures. Finally, a central problem is the lack of confiscation orders which impedes the efficient prosecution of corruption and money laundering.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】From Lightnings to MiGs A Cold War Pilot's Operations, Test Flying & an Airspeed Record【電子書籍】[ Russ Peart ]

＜p＞＜strong＞A Royal Air Force pilot chronicles his career flying during the Cold War in this memoir featuring previously unseen photographs.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞It was supposed to be just a training flight. The two Soviet-manufactured MiG 21s, each with two practice bombs and four air-to-ground rockets, were lined up on the runway in Bangladesh at the height of the Cold War, when air traffic control suddenly reported an incursion by Indian Air Force Jaguars. Though ill-equipped for combat, the two MiGs were scrambled.＜/p＞ ＜p＞One of the MiGs’ pilots was an RAF officerーSquadron Leader Russell Peart. On a seven-month loan to the Bangladeshi Air Force, Peart suddenly found himself at the centre of the simmering hostility between two neighbouring nations. By the time they reached the area that had been threatened by the Indian pilots, the Jaguars had gone. Later, when Squadron Leader Russell Peart spoke of the incident to the British High Commissioner, he was told not to shoot down any Jaguars as the Indians had still not paid for them!＜/p＞ ＜p＞Russell Peart flew many other aircraft in his varied career, including the MiG 19, and while a test pilot at Boscombe Down trialled such designs as the Tornado GR1. But it was whilst he was seconded to the Sultan of Oman’s Air Force, particularly during the so-called “Secret War” in Dhofar, that he saw the most action. In that theatre the author flew some 200 operational sorties, 180 of which involved live fire, during which he was hit many times. He was also hit and wounded by a 75mm shell.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Russ Peart has written in detail of his exciting RAF career, from flying Lightnings in the Far East to winning the top prize in the International Tactical Bombing Competition against a handpicked team of United States Air Force fighter pilots and being awarded the Sultan of Oman’s Distinguished Service Medal.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】War Prose【電子書籍】[ Ford Madox Ford ]

＜p＞Ford Madox Ford's post-war masterpiece, Parade's End, is recognised as one of the great British novels about the First World War. This selection from his other extensive writings about the war, published and unpublished, sheds light on the tetralogy. It includes reminiscences, an unfinished novel, stories and excerpts from letters. Ford was in his forties when he enlisted: this made him one of the few writers of his maturity to fight on the Western Front. His experience of combat was limited, but he was in the Battle of the Somme, was often under bombardment, and suffered from shell-shock. His largely psychological response to the war anticipates the recent renewal of interest in trauma and shell-shock (as, for example, in Pat Barker's Ghost Road trilogy). This book provides important testimony by one of the best writers of his generation.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞Professionally converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction, this excellent book by the U.S. Army provide unique insight into the events at the end of the American Civil War. Regardless of the factors tearing the nation asunder, the soldiers on each side of the struggle went to war for personal reasons: looking for adventure, being caught up in the passions and emotions of their peers, believing in the Union, favoring states' rights, or even justifying the simple schoolyard dynamic of being convinced that they were "worth" three of the soldiers on the other side. Nor can we overlook the factor that some went to war to prove their manhood. This has been, and continues to be, a key dynamic in understanding combat and the profession of arms. Soldiers join for many reasons but often stay in the fight because of their comrades and because they do not want to seem like cowards. Sometimes issues of national impact shrink to nothing in the intensely personal world of cannon shell and minie ball. Whatever the reasons, the struggle was long and costly and only culminated with the conquest of the rebellious Confederacy, the preservation of the Union, and the end of slavery. These campaign pamphlets on the American Civil War, prepared in commemoration of our national sacrifices, seek to remember that war and honor those in the United States Army who died to preserve the Union and free the slaves as well as to tell the story of those American soldiers who fought for the Confederacy despite the inherently flawed nature of their cause. The Civil War was our greatest struggle and continues to deserve our deep study and contemplation.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The year 1864 ended triumphantly for the Union armies of the Western Theater. On 16 December, Maj. Gen. George H. Thomas' Army of the Cumberland routed Confederate General John Bell Hood's Army of Tennessee at Nashville, Tennessee. Five days later, Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman's army group concluded the "March to the Sea" by capturing Savannah, Georgia. In contrast, the Union war effort in the east appeared less than impressive. On Christmas Day, a Federal joint expeditionary force failed to capture Fort Fisher, a massive earthen fort that guarded Wilmington, North Carolina, the Confederacy's last open seaport. In Virginia, the armies led by Union General in Chief Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant and his Confederate adversary, General Robert E. Lee, remained deadlocked around Richmondーthe capital of the Confederacyーand Petersburg. Despite the apparent stalemate in the east, Grant and Sherman, the senior Union general in the West, were confident that their strategy to defeat the Confederacy was working. While Grant's Army of the Potomac and Army of the James kept Lee's Army of Northern Virginia pinned down in its fortifications, Sherman had torn a swath of devastation across Georgia from Atlanta to Savannah, and Thomas had crushed the Confederacy's second-largest field army.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Psycho-Analysis and the War Neuroses【電子書籍】[ Karl Abraham ]

＜p＞The essays in the book investigate the causes and manifestations of war neuroses, commonly referred to as "shell shock" at the time. These neuroses include symptoms such as anxiety, nightmares, emotional numbness, and other psychological disturbances experienced by soldiers exposed to the horrors of modern warfare. The authors analyze how the extreme stress of combat, combined with the repression of emotions and instincts, contributes to the development of these conditions.Freud, in his contribution, discusses the role of trauma and repression in war neuroses, expanding on his theory of psychoanalysis. He suggests that these neuroses are the result of unresolved internal conflicts, exacerbated by the unbearable external circumstances of war. The other contributors, including Ferenczi and Abraham, offer clinical observations and case studies to support these ideas, presenting methods for treating war neuroses through psychoanalytic therapy.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞Alex Driscoll, a US Army Special Forces combat veteran suffering from combat stress and shell shock, seeks solitude on an isolated section of beach while awaiting a discharge forced upon him due to an unauthorized eighteen-month mission to avenge the torture and butchering of his teammates at the hands of a Viet Cong death squad. A mysterious blonde-haired woman shows up unexpectedly and ruins his plans for seclusion. Suspecting she is either a war protestor or sent by the Criminal Investigation Division of the Army's Military Police, he tries to keep her distant. His suspicion dissipates when she reveals her lack of modesty and disclosure of childhood sexual abuse, retaliation, and possibly murder in a past as dark as his own. She claims she only seeks answers about the demons possessing a former friend who didn't return from the same jungle. The strangers are drawn closer throughout the day and night, only for him to discover the circumstances of the former friend aren't what they seemed. Torn between reality and fantasy, his realization that he has fallen in love may have come too late to save the developing romance.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞World War I is regarded as the first modern war, driven by fearful new technologies of mechanized combat. The unprecedented carnage rapidly advanced military medicine, transforming the nature of wartime caregiving and paving the way for modern nursing practice. Drawing on firsthand accounts of American nurses, as well as their Canadian and British counterparts, historian Paul E. Stepansky describes nurses' encounters with devastating new forms of injury--wounds from high-explosive artillery shells, poison gas burns, "shell shock," the Spanish Flu. Comparing nursing practice on the western front with nursing care during the American Civil War, the Spanish-American War, and the Anglo-Boer War, the author is especially attentive to the emergent technologies employed by nurses of the Great War.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Guilt-Free War: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and an Ethical Framework for Battlefield Decisions - Moral Injury, Guilt, Shame, Anger, Psychologist and Chaplain, Shell Shock, Combat Fatigue【電子書籍】[ Progressive Management ]

＜p＞This excellent report has been professionally converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) affects roughly 15 percent of all combat veterans. In a combat situation, when a warrior experiences a moral dilemma that violates a deeply held conviction, he or she suffers a moral injury. These moral injuries and the combat guilt that accompanies such injuries are a leading cause in the development of PTSD. Today's warriors are even more vulnerable to moral injuries, given the ambivalence surrounding morality in general. Compounding this situation are increasingly restrictive rules of engagement against an unseen enemy who does not appear to follow any rules at all. These dynamics increase the vulnerability of US warriors to moral injuries. Given the connections between moral injury, guilt, and post-traumatic stress, this paper seeks to open a dialogue on the need for the development of an ethical framework that can guide warriors in making battlefield decisions, providing possible armor against moral injury and assisting warriors in their reflection on previous involvement.＜/p＞ ＜p＞War has always been complex, and as our strike capability changes with remotely piloted aircraft, and in light of the reality that the desired end state of our recent conflicts has been fuzzy at best, some of our nation's warriors are struggling with guilt and confusion about why they did (or were not allowed to) take that last shot. They are serving with honor without knowing why they are serving, and as such they are ripe to sustain moral injury.＜/p＞ ＜p＞There's an old adage that "war is hell." For many, though, war is simply the beginning of hell. Historically, approximately 15 percent of returning warriors struggle with the long-term effects of the unseen wound of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Current fiscal estimates show that warriors suffering from PTSD received during tours in the last 20 years will cost the US government more than $6 billion. Cost considerations alone should prompt us to work to understand and minimize causes of PTSD.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Summary of Jay A. Stout's Hell's Angels【電子書籍】[ ? Everest Media ]

＜p＞Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The 303rd was formed in Boise, Idaho, on February 13, 1942. It was organized into a headquarters unit, three heavy bombardment flying squadrons, and a heavy reconnaissance squadron. The flying units were the 358th, 359th, and 360th Bombardment (H) Squadrons, and the 31st Reconnaissance (H) Squadron. #2 The USAAF’s rapid wartime expansion led to accidents becoming commonplace. The unit diary entry for April 30, 1942, noted a totally pointless mishap: officers playing with an unloaded gun accidentally shot through a wall and window of the S-2 office. #3 The USAAF began to organize in England in 1942, and Brigadier General Ira Eaker was put in charge of VIII Bomber Command, the heavy bombardment component of the Eighth Air Force. Eaker was a longtime acolyte of Arnold’s, and he grew up dirt poor in Texas and Oklahoma. #4 The 303rd struggled to become combat ready, and it was clear that the group would not be ready for overseas duty as planned. The men continued to train, and they needed the training because of a foolish accident that occurred on May 27. While airborne, a pilot mistakenly activated the bail-out alarm.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Fighter 'Gator【電子書籍】[ Lt Colonel John E. Norvell ]

＜p＞This story is about Lt Colonel John E. Norvell's quest to fly and David Garbe's work to restore the shell of F-4D 0720. It first focuses on Norvell's flight training, selection to be a backseater in the F-4, time in combat in Thailand, and F-4 flying over Alaska, providing "Top Cover for America." Then, the appendix covers Garbe's work to find a bird, get the parts, and rebuild the front cockpit area. It is a story of duty and dedication. It covers how the crews trained to fly the Phantom, the specialized survival schools they attended, their entrance in combat, and the toll it took on them. Lt Colonel John E. Norvell tells the story from the perspective of an F-4 backseater or GIB. It is a story of his comrades and the stress he felt from a year-long separation from his wife. He describes the daily combat and how it affected him. He stresses the professionalism and dedication of the aircrews who flew the hostile skies of South East Asia. When the air war ends, he tells of the boredom and frustrations of warriors without a war. Then his story moves to Alaska, where he attends arctic survival school and is stationed at remote sites to provide "Top Cover" alert guarding North America against Soviet aircraft incursions. Alaska is a very different type of flying, and it is clear that he enjoys all that Alaska has to offer. Finally, he discusses the role that his mentor Major Theodore J. Shorack played in his life. Shorack was lost while on a rescue mission over North Vietnam. Norvell considers him to be a personification of the three cardinal principles of the military: Duty, Honor, County. In the end, Norvell looks at the past nearly 50 years and tells what it meant to him to fly and be a military officer.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】A Frenchman's Duty: A Foot Soldier's Journey Through the First World War (3rd. ed.)【電子書籍】[ J. Michael Dumoulin ]

＜p＞A quarter century earlier in a disastrous three-week Prussian War, France had lost its eastern-most regions, Alsace and Lorraine, but every patriotic Frenchman knew France was destined to get them back.＜br /＞ When Germany invaded France in 1914 and the war approached the du Nord region, Arthur, a 20-year-old butcher from Roubaix, set out to enlist. It was his duty, and the duty of every able-bodied Frenchman to protect France from the invading “Boch.” Everyone said it would be a short war like the last one. He would be home by Christmas, or at least by the beginning of Lent, certainly by Easter.＜br /＞ “A Frenchman’s Duty” is a true story, chronicling Arthur’s four and a half years of service in his own words, from his own hand-penned journal, transcribed; translated; annotated by a 30-year military veteran with context and the perspective of the last 100 years; and illustrated with nearly 50 vintage postcards and photographs.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Arthur describes to readers his induction and training as a foot soldier in October, 1914, then his first introduction to battle. He records his experiences at Verdun, in the Marne and Somme, in Belgium, and the day the Armistice brought peace to Europe. His journal entries about seeing a war plane for the first time; cooking for his officers and comrades; mercilessly shelled and pinned down by snipers; and being lost in enemy trenches and on the battlefield in the fog with pack mules in his charge, are all first-person accounts of battles not found in other biography or history books about the war. Arthur details the quieter sides of the war, too: rotations out of the trenches; PTSD, then called "shell shock;" interactions with civilians required to put him up for the night; and his leaves, or "permissions," to see family and friends. He gives a face to the personal side of a soldier's life, in and out of battle, something still relevant today.＜/p＞ ＜p＞"A Frenchman's Duty," is Colonel (USAF, ret.) John Michael Dumoulin's eighth book. It is written around his grandfather's unpublished 200-page hand-written, literally war-torn war journal. Each chapter begins with an entry from Arthur’s fresh and honest notes, followed by carefully-researched historic, geopolitical, social, and technological context.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Of the 8 million French soldiers who fought in that war, 7 million spent time in combat, some in Russia and in Africa, but most along the Western Front where Arthur fought. Arthur survived the war, so this story isn’t one of those where the hero dies a sad, sudden death at the very end of the book.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Although Arthur’s diary records the unimaginable horror in war, it is an uplifting read. Like the best-seller "Unbroken" by Laura Hillenbrand, the book reveals the human sides of poise under fire, faith, duty to family and country, a sense of place, and the challenge of wrestling with demons and keeping them locked away.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Smoky the Brave【電子書籍】[ Damien Lewis ]

＜p＞＜strong＞The World's Smallest Dog with the World's Biggest Heart＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Smoky the Brave＜/em＞ is the extraordinary, touching and true story of a heroic dog and her adoptive masters in the jungles of the Pacific War. In February 1944, as Japanese military advances threatened to engulf Australasia, a tiny, four-pound Yorkshire terrier was discovered hiding in a Japanese shell scrape amidst the thick jungles of Papua New Guinea. The GIs who discovered her presumed she had been some kind of Japanese army mascot, but it soon turned out that she understood neither commands rendered in Japanese nor English. A mystery, she was adopted by Corporal William 'Bill' Wynne, an air-crewman with the US 5th Air Force's 26th Photo Reconnaissance Squadron.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Living in Bill Wynne's tent, sleeping on a piece of green felt salvaged from a card table,and sharing his rations, Smoky became the de facto mascot of the regiment. She went on to fly numerous photo-recce and air-sea rescue missions, cocooned in a soldier's pack hanging next to the machine-guns used to repel marauding Japanese fighters. She was awarded eight battle stars, surviving dozens of Japanese combat raids on Papua New Guinea, and braving a typhoon that ravaged Okinawa. After saving Wynne's life by warning of a falling shell, as their landing craft approached an enemy-held beach - a shell that killed the eight men that Wynne was standing beside - he nicknamed her the 'angel from a foxhole'. In one of her most famous exploits Smoky parachuted using a special rig designed to fit one of the world's smallest but toughest dogs.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In perhaps her most heroic exploit of all, Smoky ran a cable through a seventy-foot pipe no wider in places than four inches, to enable telephone lines to be run across the recently occupied airbase of Luzon. Her efforts saved hundreds of ground-crew from being exposed to enemy bombing, preventing injury and loss of life. Amongst her many other awards,she was given the PDSA's Certificate for Animal Bravery or Devotion in 2011, a relatively new class of PDSA award.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞In 2087, the weapon of choice is the warmek, a towering humanoid monster capable of taking the firepower of a tank unit any place an infantryman can go. On the battlefields of Britain, occupying EuroForce meks clash with giant machines piloted by British secessionists.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The Charlemagne sidestepped and rushed forward, spike held high and aimed down. Rather than flinch back in the face of the fearsome weapon, as most pilots tended to do, Halsey stepped forward, raising his own mek’s right arm.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Lavalle thrust down at the Liberator, trying for a tricky but instantly fatal thrust at the join of torso and head. Halsey batted the spike down and aside with his right arm, snapping it back in a steel-knuckled bitchslap across the Charlemagne’s faceplate. As Lavalle’s mek stumbled, Halsey pivoted and put a point-blank cannon shell into its torso. The shot struck low down and exploded on untouched armour.＜br /＞ Following up quickly, Halsey raised his combat spike but instead thrust the barrel of his cannon at the Charlemagne’s faceplate. The command mek overbalanced, toppling backwards. Halsey fired another point-blank shot into it, then raised the spike for a killing thrust.＜/p＞ ＜p＞A point-blank Maximilian Alpha strike hammered into the Liberator’s rear armour, flaying most of it away and sending Halsey staggering forward. Lavalle kicked out, impacting the Liberator’s lower leg. Halsey felt his mek start to pitch forward, saw the metal face of the Charlemagne coming up and felt a railgun round tear into his mek’s vitals.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The Liberator crashed down on top of Lavalle’s Charlemagne. Halsey started hammering on the cockpit with his right arm as he tried to disentangle himself. Any second now the Max would finish him off from behind….＜/p＞ ＜p＞The Armageddon War continues. The streets and fields of Britain are ablaze. ‘Shotgun’ Mike Halsey fights for freedom whether his weapon is a monster warmek, a sawed-off shotgun or his own fists.＜br /＞ What started in Standing Alone continues in this fast paced, furious, science-fiction action thrill ride.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】General George S. Patton and the Art of Leadership One of America’s Greatest Ever Generals【電子書籍】[ William Nester ]

＜p＞For General George S. Patton, “Leadership is the thing that wins battles. I have itーbut I’ll be damned if I can define it. Probably it consists in knowing what you want to do and then doing it and getting mad if anyone steps in the way. Self-confidence and leadership are twin brothers.”＜/p＞ ＜p＞Indeed, Patton excelled at virtually every dimension of leadership, most vitally as a war commander. His record as a general is clear. The larger, more armored, and better supplied his armies, and the freer he was to decide what to do with them, the more rapid and further they advanced to inflict more defeats on the enemy. In that no other American army commander matched him during World War II. That ranks Patton among the Valhalla of America’s greatest generals, with him most resembling Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson and Nathan Bedford Forrest as a fast-moving, hard-hitting commander who repeatedly outflanked and devastated enemy forces.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Patton led from the front and tried to inspire his troops by being a model officer who exemplified bravery, problem-solving, tactical brilliance, and decisiveness. He was in near constant motion from his headquarters to rear echelon and front line troops, everywhere exhorting them to greater efforts and overcoming challenges, at times enduring shell fire, strafing, mines, snipers, and other dangers. His greatest attribute was his drive to be the best at whatever he chose or was ordered to do. He recognized that developing a successful military career depended not just on will and chance but on incessant training and study. Yet he believed that instincts were just as vital as skills in being a successful leader: “I have a sixth sense in war and…can put myself in the enemies head and I am also willing to take chances.”＜/p＞ ＜p＞Patton harbored plenty of flaws. He was a narcissist who constantly strove to be center-stage and outshine his rivals. He contrived an idealized version of himself as the epitome of the brilliant general and fearless soldier, immaculately dressed, and spent his life playing that role. He was a braggart who regaled listeners with at times exaggerated tales of his past deeds and those yet to come. His boasting did have one positive element. He sought to surpass his past glories with greater future victories.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Patton seesawed between elation and despair, rage and compassion. He could chew out a subordinate for some mistake in the morning and comfort him for a similar mistake in the afternoon. His quick-temper and provocative views often overpowered his self-control. Twice that cost him an army command. During Germany’s occupation in August 1945, he casually quipped to several reporters that being a Nazi in Germany was no different from being a Republican or Democrat in the United States. For that Eisenhower relieved him from Third Army’s command. Most notoriously, during the Sicily campaign he slapped two soldiers suffering combat fatigue that he accused of malingering.＜/p＞ ＜p＞General George S. Patton and the Art of Leadership is his most psychologically penetrating biography that captures the paradoxical character behind his brilliant military feats and often dismaying failures. Throughout Patton explains his values and deeds through hundreds of quotes along with scores of insights from those who knew himーcomrades and critics alike.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞I was knocked down by a shell. As I found myself laying on my back, the half-full flamethrower tank pinning me to the ground, a North Korean soldier came at me with his bayonet. In his quilted suit, he seemed to come out of nowhere. I can still see his face and smell the garlic on his breath. As he lunged at me, I was able to turn, but he stabbed my upper left arm with his bayonet. I had a double-barrel shotgun taped on the arm of my flamethrower and gave him both barrels. I think I blew him in half. The battle kept going on around me. Weapons fire was all around me, and I heard other boys being hit and falling. I laid there feeling weak as blood from my deep wound seeped out on the Korean dirt. I must have been ready to blackout when I heard a familiar voice say, “Joe, if I don’t close up that wound, you’ll die.” (Paragraph italicized.)＜/p＞ ＜p＞From growing up in a small Pennsylvania town, through Marine Corps boot camp and training, and finally, remembering and coping with buried memories decades later, Korean War combat veteran Joseph Barna recounts his life events that will put a tear in your eye and a smile on your face.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Doolittle【電子書籍】[ Dik Alan Daso ]

On April 18, 1942, Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle led a flight of sixteen B-25 bombers off the flight deck of the USS Hornet on one of the most daring raids in U.S. military history, a low-level strike on Tokyo and other Japanese cities. For this heroic act, he received the Medal of Honor. But, as Dik Alan Daso convincingly argues, James H. Doolittle should be remembered as much more than a famous combat pilot. With a doctorate in aeronautics from MIT, he devoted his life to mastering the technical and practical intricacies of the most amazing new invention of his time, the airplane. In 1922, Doolittle became the first person to complete a transcontinental flight across the United States in a single twenty-four-hour period. Later he worked with the Shell Oil Company to develop high-octane aviation fuel to enhance aircraft performance. He also won numerous trophies for his record-breaking high-speed flights, and he developed new instrumentation to assist pilots when flying ?blind? in poor weather. In jet age parlance, Doolittle constantly ?pushed the envelope.? After holding several major combat commands during World War II, he was appointed a special assistant to the Air Force chief of staff in 1951 and served as a civilian adviser in scientific matters, including the development of ballistic missiles and the fledgling space program. From the early days of aviation to the space age, Daso provides a concise but expansive overview of the rapidly developing field of aviation and chronicles a pioneer?s tireless efforts to be a visionary for the new era.画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
