Product Description
Now that Gen. David Petraeus's troop surge has gained the U.S. much-needed breathing room in Iraq, what should come next? The answer, according to Iraq War combat veterans of the famed 101st Airborne Division Col. Dominic J. Caraccilo and Lt. Col. Andrea L. Thompson, is to turn the fight over to the Iraqis.

In Achieving Victory in Iraq, Caraccilo and Thompson examine how the Iraq War has evolved since 2003 and carefully outline the way forward. They argue that a strategy for handing off the battle to the Iraqis existed from the beginning, even though the American-led coalition sometimes muddled its execution and at times did not even pursue it. A renewed effort to create an independent Iraqi security force capable of standing up against the insurgency, they believe, remains the U.S.'s best shot at victory--not winning over the Iraqi people, not crushing the enemy with American military might.

Drawing on the authors' on-the-ground experiences training and conducting security operations with Iraqi soldiers, Achieving Victory in Iraq describes how this strategy has already succeeded in parts of Iraq and how it can be expanded in the wake of the surge to bring victory to the entire country. ...

A Fun to read WesternBob R.
A good, clean, entertaining novel. Hard to put down. Got me laughing outloud. A different style of writing from other cowboy westerns and I found it very enjoyable.

A thrilling, warm, and humorous look at the Old West!
This is a wonderful story of adventure and love in the Old West. If you enjoy Louis L'Amour Westerns, you'll find this a very enjoyable read. Billy Dan is a man who's seen enough of life to know what he really wants is to settle down. Though he starts with nothing but his gun and the shirt on his back, he builds (through a series of rollicking adventures) a nest egg that will allow him to accomplish his dream. Billy Dan is a man of honor with his own unique code and a very unusual method of playing poker. In Texas, he meets a series of cowboy characters who each contribute, in various ways, to his last chance for happiness. This book has everything: humor, action, adventure, love, ambush, and the cowboy Code of the West. ... Read more

An Excellent Snapshot of Polish-American History.
If you've traced your Polish ancestors back to turn-of-the-century Chicago, You will find a lot of valuable insights on their experience by reading this book.The life of any new immigrant was never very easy inthis country and Pacyga leads you through all of the hardships that thesedetermined people faced.Unfortunately, Pacyga's focus shifts away fromthe immigrant towards the end of the book and he includes an in-depthhistory of Chicago's labor unions.Although the unions certainly affectedthe Polish immigrant's life, I thought that too much of the divergentchapters were off-subject.But, don't let that discourage you from readingit.There is real American history being told here. ...

Product Description

John Conteh-Morgan explores the multiple ways in which African and Caribbean theatres have combined aesthetic, ceremonial, experimental, and avant-garde practices in order to achieve sharp critiques of the nationalist and postnationalist state and to elucidate the concerns of the francophone world. More recent changes have introduced a transnational dimension, replacing concerns with national and ethnic solidarity in favor of irony and self-reflexivity. New Francophone African and Caribbean Theatres places these theatres at the heart of contemporary debates on global cultural and political practices and offers a more finely tuned understanding of performance in diverse diasporic networks.

A midnight hanging and blood-splattered wounded. Come back to a summer night in August of 1944 at Fort Lawton in Seattle for an exploration of violence and mayhem. On that night two hundred American black soldiers attacked Italian POWs in their barracks and orderly room. After the belated arrival of MPs, dozens of the wounded were taken to the hospital. In turn, the War Department began a monthly IG investigation as to the causes of the riot and more. A court martial ensued and 28 soldiers were found guilty of participating in a riot. Other Italian and German POWs in the Seattle area during WW II however avoided mayhem. ... Read more

Pretty good Insight.
This is a very good in-depth book regarding Scumbag Pedophile Whitey Bulger and Scumbag Disgraced Rogue Agent and Crony Conolly along with the Winterhill gang. Sadly, This rogue agent makes Real law Enforcement look bad.I disagree with the notion of the FBI Being obsessed with The Mob.
They had/have to do their Job. And there will always be evil sadly. Even within ranks of the law. hopefully one day they will catch this scumbag and many others.Just because he was a robin hood does not excuse his behavior.

Can The FBI surviveGMEN & GANGSTERS
Dominic Spinale's gripping tale comes face to face with the fact that member s of The FBI consider their careers more important thenthe law.
The FBIwas obsessed with bringing down The Mafia.
John Connoly an FBI agent who grew up in Boston, and was a boyhood friend of Whitery Bulger, a notorious Boston criminal, who's brother wasThe Presidentof The State Senate of Massachusetts. (and later The President of The U of Massachusetts)
He made Whitey Bulger and his cohert Steve Flemmi FBI informants.
The problem was that Whitey commited robbery, rape, and murder, with The FBI's knowldege and in some cases participation.
This compelling well written book shows how corrupt The FBI was/is
It's a great read ... Read more
