Ron Alexander is 5' 3" and weighs 110 pounds, making him the smallest American pilot to fly in the Vietnam war. He is also one of the most highly decorated chopper pilots to come out of that war. In this action-driven account, readers will be taken into the heart of the war as they never have before, following Colonel Alexander as he learns the ropes then goes above and beyond the call of duty. Alexander became a living legend, piloting Huey slicks and gunships into red hot landing zones, inserting Blue Teams into infantry battle, buzzing tree tops and rescuing fellow soldiers from areas blanketed with machine gun fire. From one hot zone to the next, readers will take off in the cockpit with Alexander as bullets smash through the airframe plexiglass, chin bubble burst and instrument panels erupt in smoke and sparks. This is a barn-burner of a memoir that spares no details and moves with rapid-fire pace.

For fishermen and fishers of men. "Follow me," Jesus instructed Simon and Andrew, "and I will make you fishers of men." (Matthew 4:19) I know that God has been teaching me all these years, using the outdoors as his slate. While I was fishing, I was also being taught patience and happiness, courage and friendship and inspiration, joy and humility, understanding and acceptance... I would like to share with you, in this little book, some of the life lessons I learned from God on creek banks. Even when I didn't know I was learning them. Perhaps, like Simon and Andrew, I might, through it, also become a fisher of men. -Charles W. Sasser

From the jungles of Vietnam to the unforgiving deserts of Afghanistan and Iraq, one breed of soldier has achieved legendary status in the arena of combat -- the sniper. Their only mission: wait, watch, and when the target is in sight, put the... Crosshairs on the Kill Zone From the authors of the classic sniper chronicle One Shot-One Kill comes a new generation of true tales from some of the most expert and deadly marksmen in the world. Meet Adelbert Waldron II, whose 109 confirmed kills in Vietnam made him the most successful sniper in American military history, and Tom "Moose" Ferran, who coined the term "Fetch!", whereupon the infantry would retrieve the sniper's dead quarry. Also included are stories from snipers in Beirut, the Bosnian conflict, and both wars with Iraq -- including the feat of Sergeants Joshua Hamblin and Owen Mulder, who took down thirty-two enemy soldiers in a single day outside Baghdad in 2003. The military sniper has evolved into one of the most dangerous and highly-skilled warrior professions. They suffer through weather, terrain, and enemy action, lay unmoving for days on end, and take out their targets with unerring accuracy -- proving that the deadliest weapon in any battle, anywhere in the world, is a single well-aimed shot.

The axis of evil has many arms. The terrorist beast is alive a world away from its Middle Eastern twin. But a new breed of warrior has vowed to destroy the demon wherever it breeds: Detachment Delta. The nightmare of a terrorist strike is one the nation might never awaken from. So, for the first time, Delta Force is uniting with Navy SEALs to prevent that horrific yet all-too-possible assault. A shipment of Scud missiles designed to carry a devastating payload is steaming its way toward the Philippines, courtesy of a mad criminal regime based in North Korea, forcing America's most efficient counter-terrorist task force to ensure the weapons of mass destruction never reach their ultimate destination. Because the countdown has already begun on a terrifying plot which, if Delta Force fails, will transform some of America's biggest cities into lifeless, smoldering ruins.

From the jungles of Vietnam to the sands of Iraq, the United States Navy SEALs are an effective special operations force. Organized into unconventional forces that range from as few as six men to as many as a platoon of 100, the SEALs draw their name from SeaAirLand, the three elements in which they work with deadly efficiency. This volume offers a look at this unique organization. The introduction traces the history of the SEALs, from the World War II demolition teams to the actual formation of the force in 1962 under President John F. Kennedy, as well as their evolution into the counter-terrorists and guerilla fighters of the 21st century. More than A-Z entries offer comprehensive coverage of different aspects of the force including its organization, history, personnel, equipment, weaponry, and relevant terms.

For some, Hill 488 was just another landmark in the jungles of Vietnam. For the eighteen men of Charlie Company, it was a last stand. This is the stirring combat memoir written by Ray Hildreth, one of the unit's survivors. On June 13, 1966, men of the 1st Recon Battalion, 1st Marine Division were stationed on Hill 488. Before the week was over, they would fight the battle that would make them the most highly decorated small unit in the entire history of the U.S. military, winning a Congressional Medal of Honor, four Navy Crosses, thirteen Silver Stars, and eighteen Purple Hearts—some of them posthumously. During the early evening of June 15, a battalion of hardened North Vietnamese regulars and Viet Cong—outnumbering the Americans 25-to-1—threw everything they had at the sixteen Marines and two Navy corpsmen for the rest of that terror-filled night. Every man who held the hill was either killed or wounded defending the ground with unbelievable courage and unflagging determination—even as reinforcements were on the way. All they had to do was make it until dawn....

( In 1973, Norma Cobb, her husband Lester, and the their ...)
In 1973, Norma Cobb, her husband Lester, and the their five children, the oldest of whom was nine-years-old and the youngest, twins, barely one, pulled up stakes in the Lower Forty-eight and headed north to Alaska to follow a pioneer dream of claiming land under the Homestead Act. The only land available lay north of Fairbanks near the Arctic Circle where grizzlies outnumbered humans twenty to one. In addition to fierce winters and predatory animals, the Alaskan frontier drew the more unsavory elements of society's fringes. From the beginning, the Cobbs found themselves pitted in a life or death feud with unscrupulous neighbors who would rob from new settlers, attempt to burn them out, shoot them, and jump their claim. The Cobbs were chechakos, tenderfeet, in a lost land that consumed even toughened settlers. Everything, including their "civilized" past, conspired to defeat them. They constructed a cabin and the first snow collapsed the roof. They built too close to the creek and spring breakup threatened to flood them out. Bears prowled the nearby woods, stalking the children, and Lester Cobb would leave for months at a time in search of work. But through it all, they survived on the strength of Norma Cobb---a woman whose love for her family knew no bounds and whose courage in the face of mortal danger is an inspiration to us all. This is her story.

You had to lose something personal in a war. Otherwise, it was just a war like any other war. You were there and you did what you had to do and then it was a part of your past and you went on to the next war. It rained a lot that autumn after I returned from El Salvador without my right hand. The fresh scar on the stump burned when it rained; I felt pain in fingers that were no longer there… “What happened to you in Central America?” Kovic demanded. “Jack, lots of men have lost an arm. But it’s not just that, is it? Talk to me about it, buddy. What happened to you?” Jack Dempsey Malanga had worked with the CIA before. He is known as a man who gets the dirty work done, in war and in between wars. Things begin to turn bad when his CIA contact in Central America asks, “Malanga, have you ever killed an American citizen?” The American citizen is a gunrunner supplying weapons to communist guerrillas in the mountains of El Salvador. To get to him, Malanga must join the guerrillas and earn the trust of their ruthless leader and of Suyapa, a beautiful young rebel fighter who is the gunrunner’s lover. That’s when things become complicated. For Jack Malanga, El Salvador would soon become one too many wars. And his losses more than just his right arm... Charles W. Sasser knows Latin America intimately. For more than ten years, he was a combat correspondent working in El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua during the period of The War Chaser. He was wounded along the Honduran-Nicaraguan border. He is also a 29-year veteran (active and reserve) with the U.S. Navy (journalist) and U.S. Army Green Berets. His books and novels (more than 50 published) have sold millions in a number of languages throughout the world. They include best-sellers like One Shot-One Kill; The 100th Kill; Detachment Delta and OSS Commando series; The Return; A Thousand Years of Darkness... What they’re saying about Charles W. Sasser “Few writers know men or war as well as Chuck Sasser.” Jim Morris, former Green Beret and author of War Story about The 100th Kill “The most gripping scenes in the book document. . .emotion in the seconds just before the Hellfire missile arrives on target. . .” New York Times on Predator: The Remote-Control Air War over Iraq and Afghanistan. “Abundant action, a fast pace and an unusual ethical dilemma. . .” Publisher’s Weekly on Dark Planet “A model of good historical writing. . .” Leatherneck on Hill 488 “A powerful, emotion-packed mystery. . .” Concise Book Reviews on Homicide!

GOING BONKERS -School administrators warn students that the Ten Commandments and the Bible constitute "hate speech..." "Today, via some remarkable combination of hyper-sensitivity, tolerance, concern for self-esteem, "inclusiveness," and bias against being "judgmental," the nation has thrown itself on the mercy of seriously disturbed people. America is being conditioned to accept, endure, and promote virtually anything. That which is tolerated by one generation is accepted by the next and embraced by the third." "If we remain intimidated by the insanity infecting our culture and stoically accept the madness of our Brave New World, we essentially concede away the final remnants of liberty. It isn't civility to remain silent; it's cowardice. If I go down, I prefer to go down firing from the bulwarks rather than with a whimper in the shadows of madness and tyranny." Charles W. Sasser

They are the lone wolves of the battlefield. Tracking the enemy, lying in wait for the target to appear—then they shoot to kill. Armed with an unerring eye, infinite patience and a mastery of camouflage, combat snipers stalk the enemy with only one goal... In World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and Beirut, American snipers honed the art of delivering a single deadly shot from nowhere—and devastating enemy morale. They met the enemy on his own turf, picking off officers, unwary soldiers, and even other snipers from extraordinary distances of up to 1 ½ miles. Now, these uncommon men tell their stories: of the emotions felt when a man's face came into their crosshairs and they pulled the trigger, of the nerve-wracking hours and days of waiting, motionless, for the enemy, of the primal savagery of a sniper duel. Often trained haphazardly in wartime, and forgotten in times of peace, combat snipers were officially recognized after the Vietnam War, when the Marine Corps became the first military branch to start a full-time sniper school. One Shot-One Kill is their powerful record of desperate trials and proud victories. A main selecton of the Military Book Club!

From the big cities to dense forests to disasters at sea, authors Michael Sasser and Charles W. Sasser present some of the toughest cases and most harrowing missions faced by arson investigators. A brutal inferno snuffs out the lives of eighty-seven at the Happy Land Social Club in New York City... The Branch Davidians torch their compound in Waco, Texas, killing eighty-one men, women and children… Flames engulf the streets of Detroit on its deadliest Devil’s Day… In each case, some of America’s most intrepid detectives were on the case, seeking out the truth amid the ashes. Here are the toughest cases from real arson investigators—men and women who apply steely determination and extraordinary skills in the pursuit of one goal: to catch scheming profiteers, vicious vandals, and diabolical pyromaniacs. Where the untrained eye sees nothing but destruction, these investigators see clues—and they plunge undaunted into the charred debris of destroyed buildings and incinerated lives to seek them out. From big cities to dense forests to disasters at sea, they bring one vow to every case: to never let justice go up in smoke.

The fourth book in the Detachment Delta series. When American missionaries are taken hostage by Algerian rebels, the call for a rescue comes to the most elite of military units––the Delta Force. With a presidential election approaching, Americans are living in fear of a terrorist attack, aimed at taking lives, influencing politics, disrupting the democratic process. General Darren Kragle, a legendary soldier, is at the heart of the effort to keep the election running smoothly. On the other side of the world, in tumultuous Algeria, Kragle's son Cameron, a former special forces soldier, has agreed to accompany a group of missionaries as added protection, but finds himself no match for a ruthless band of rebel kidnappers. But Cameron is just one son in the legendary family, and soon two of General Kragle's other military sons, Delta Force commandoes, are sent to Algeria––one to rescue Cameron and the other hostages, and the other to rescue a kidnapped American ally. A troubled nation's hopes for peace hang in the balance. The Kragles have given more than their fair share to the War on Terror and the fight for American freedom––having paid in blood, sweat and the lost lives of loved ones. And as General Kragle tries to prevent a catastrophic nuclear attack on American soil, an attack that has targeted the president himself, his courageous sons won't give up their battle until they are all three safe on friendly soil.
