The United States Army in Afghanistan Operation Enduring Freedom
ISBN: 9781508665038 / Angielski / Miękka / 46 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The United States Army in Afghanistan is a powerful story of the first military efforts to strike back at the terrorist organization al Qaeda in the aftermath of its 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Al Qaeda's leader, Osama bin Laden, believed he and his followers living and training under the protection of the Taliban regime in the far-off mountains of Afghanistan were beyond the reach of American arms. Richard W. Stewart in his penetrating essay on the early critical months of Operation ENDURING FREEDOM proves that bin Laden was wrong, chronicling how American,...

Blood and Treasure: Putting Perspective into the Numbers from Iraq
ISBN: 9781511636568 / Angielski / Miękka / 26 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The national debate surrounding America's involvement in Iraq is complex and confusing. While it has been full of vitriol and invective, it has been notably lacking in balance, perspective and texture. In the middle of this national debate are the American warrior and an immediate group of family and supporters. More often than not, these fully committed participants remain quiet while listening to the raging war of words, or watching it on television sets in Iraq. The national debate is divisive, and at times, the American warrior is wounded by the words and the emotion that animate it. This...

Allied Participation in Operation Iraqi Freedom
ISBN: 9781516909193 / Angielski / Miękka / 140 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The invasion of Iraq in March 2003-Operation Iraqi Freedom-was controversial at its start. The United Nations was reluctant to provide a specific endorsement for direct U.S. military action. Without this authorization, a number of close allies refused to participate in the operation. In order to garner greater support and provide an international flavor to the intervention, President George W. Bush assembled a "coalition of the willing," ultimately involving about sixty nations. Although some of these countries supplied little more than nominal assistance, fully thirty-seven of them furnished...

Another P.O.G. Story: Memoir of A Marine Motor-Transport Reservist During Operation Iraqi Freedom
ISBN: 9781515187707 / Angielski / Miękka / 84 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Not everybody that joins the military gets sent to war as an elite sniper/force-recon/professional killer. Only a small percentage of the military are truly on foot patrols, fighting the good fight. Believe it or not, every combat deployment does not have to be a scene from a Hollywood action thriller movie or a first-person shooter video game. For some troops, that was exactly the heroic position they played during war, and they should be honored and respected as such. But, like so many others who also played their position honorably and contributed to the same cause...That is NOT our story....

Based on in-depth interviews with tribal Sheiks involved in the Awakening and their American military counterparts, Confronting al Qaeda is a study of decision-making processes and the political psychology of the Sunni Awakening in al Anbar.

Selling War: A Critical Look at the Military's PR Machine
ISBN: 9781612347721 / Angielski / Twarda / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the spring of 2004, army reservist and public affairs officer Steven J. Alvarez waited to be called up as the U.S. military stormed Baghdad and deposed Saddam Hussein. But soon after President Bush's famous PR stunt in which an aircraft carrier displayed the banner "Mission Accomplished," the dynamics of the war shifted. Selling War recounts how the U.S. military lost the information war in Iraq by engaging the wrong audiences--that is, the Western media--by ignoring Iraqi citizens and the wider Arab population, and by paying mere lip service to the directive to "Put an Iraqi face...

See Me for Who I Am: Student Veterans' Stories of War and Coming Home
ISBN: 9781944079017 / Angielski / Miękka / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Because so few Americans have served in the military since 9/11--or even know anyone who has--many look to the media for information about veterans and military service. Popular news outlets, however, traffic in tragedy and often paint those who have fought in Iraq and Afghanistan with one of three broad brushes: as superhuman; as broken, disabled, and traumatized; or as dangerous, ticking time bombs. See Me for Who I Am aims to undermine these stereotypes. It brings together twenty young student veterans working to bridge the media-created gap that divides them from the...

Taking Anbar: A Frontline Account of the Hunt For Iraq's Lethal Insurgency
ISBN: 9781519677280 / Angielski / Miękka / 474 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "There are two types of people in the military: administrators and operators. Administrators make themselves look busy. Operators get shit done." In this thought-provoking, politically incorrect book from Soldier of Fortune contributing writer Michael Gifford, Taking Anbar explores the absolute disbelief, sadness, humor, and rage of a First World army in a Third World conflict, as the US military entered its lethal contest for Al Anbar Province following the 2003 fall of Baghdad. While it has plenty of what you'd expect in the way of counterinsurgent operations, it's what you don't expect...

Surging South of Baghdad: The 3d Infantry Division and Task Force Marne in Iraq, 2007-2008
ISBN: 9781530434374 / Angielski / Miękka / 452 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. By late 2006, 31/2 years after the dramatic capture of Baghdad by U.S. and coalition forces, the war in Iraq was going badly. Sectarian tensions had erupted into violence and American public support for the war was at an all-time low. For better or worse, the George W. Bush administration decided to gamble on a troop increase, sending thirty thousand additional U.S. troops to Iraq in order to stop the bloodshed and bring stability to Baghdad and the surrounding area. By June 2007, they were all in place, and the so-called surge began. "Surging South of Baghdad" covers this crucial period in...
