It was September 1943, and the world was again at war, when my mother, Alexis Hart Barclay, first stepped foot in Venezuela, South America. She was twenty-four, smart, sophisticated, athletic, beautiful, worldly, romantic, and fluent in four languages. She and her equally gifted new husband yearned for the adventure and skill required to serve as both faithful missionaries and all-consuming spies during World War II for the United States Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the direct predecessor to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). The dual role required faithfulness and adultery, giving and taking of life, and lying and speaking the truth - in an effort to assure freedom of all mankind from the tyranny and evil of the World War II Axis powers (the German Third Reich, and the Empires of Japan and Italy).The lives and paths of my parents and other individuals from the Axis powers crossed in dangerous and critical ways between 1943 and the end of World War II in 1945. This story, based on actual historical events, is about my parents' incredible lives and their belief systems, both of which were necessarily compromised for the benefit of all mankind.

Clearing Vietnam': Anatomy of a U.S. Army Land Clearing Team, captures the sights, sounds, and unusual encounters of a young combat engineer who found himself operating a specialized bulldozer within the dense jungles of South Vietnam. It was a place where hard work, grueling conditions and enemy encounters forced this ninteen year old to grow up, while learning what it would ultimately take to help assure his survivability there. After all the many years removed from that distant land, and its seemingly endless inner turmoil, this detailed memoir serves to bring it all back into the light; to project the viewpoint and perspective of a common combat engineer, as he performed a not-so-common task, in operating a Rome Plow tractor, while somewhat reluctantly serving an elongated, but highly educational tour of duty in a place that seemed so desolately remote, at the time. Moreover, this detailed account also highlights the achievements and dedicated spirit of the members of a unique Engineer outfit, which evolved from a rag-tag platoon of Land Clearing pioneers, to eventually achieve Company status, within an unprecedented new battlion formation, comprised entirely of Land Clearing units. Essentially, this is a nuts and bolts and sweat and blood window view of a very different sort of wartime experience.

Published to acclaim in the UK, an authoritative, revelatory new history of the Holocaust that "shatters many myths about the Nazis' genocide" (Sunday Times), from one of the leading scholars of his generation."A stunning, original, concise analysis. ... Masterful." --Wendy Lower, author of Hitler's FuriesThe Holocaust is much discussed, much memorialized, and much portrayed. But there are major aspects of its history that have been overlooked.Spanning the entirety of the Holocaust, this sweeping history deepens our understanding. Dan Stone--Director of the Holocaust Research Institute at Royal Holloway, University of London--reveals how the idea of "industrial murder" is incomplete: many were killed where they lived in the most brutal of ways. He outlines the depth of collaboration across Europe, arguing persuasively that we need to stop thinking of the Holocaust as an exclusively German project. He also considers the nature of trauma the Holocaust engendered, and why Jewish suffering has yet to be fully reckoned with. And he makes clear that the kernel to understanding Nazi thinking and action is genocidal ideology, providing a deep analysis of its origins.Drawing on decades of research, The Holocaust: An Unfinished History upends much of what we think we know about the Holocaust. Stone draws on Nazi documents, but also on diaries, post-war testimonies, and even fiction, urging that, in our age of increasing nationalism and xenophobia, it is vital that we understand the true history of the Holocaust.

The so-called 'Cedar Revolution' in Lebanon, triggered by the assassination of the former Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri in February 2005, brought to an end three decades of Syrian military presence in the country. Here, Taku Osoegawa challenges the commonly-held claim that Lebanon and its leaders were simple puppets of the Syrian regime during the thirty years characterised as Lebanon under Syrian hegemony. Furthermore, by examining Lebanon's relations with Syria from the establishment of the Asad regime to the current violence in Syria, Osoegawa concludes that the Lebanese government has had its own reasons for aligning with Syria. As the Lebanese-Syrian relationship has had an enormous impact on the international relations of the Middle East, this book is essential reading for those interested in the contemporary regional dynamics.

And at the age of seventy-two, he marched through the frozen high plains of Afghanistan as part of Operation Enduring Freedom.Hunting the Jackal is the astonishing true account of the singular career of a courageous soldier in his nation's shadow wars -- including his pivotal role in the previously untold story of the capture of the most infamous and elusive assassin in history, Carlos the Jackal.
