I happened to notice the book as a special release while in Barnes and Noble. It was a very interesting read and will give you an idea to the intensity of the event. I saw the movie and in it's own right it's good. However, it rather interesting to see who they made a whole movie from what was basically 6 pages of the book. The author did a good job compiling interviews, memoirs and ...             Enemy Combatant: My Imprisonment at Guantanamo, Bagram, and Kandahar19 reviews Moazzam Begg New Press, 2007 You May Be Next Moazzam Begg has written a memoir about an experience during three years as a "detainee" that reminds one of Franz Kafka's fiction, but he claims that these things really happened and he writes with such clarity, conviction, and telling detail that I, for one, am convinced. Whether or not he was "guilty" is a mute point because although he was accused of many things - some quite fantastic and ...             An Enemy at Green Knowe6 reviews L. M. Boston Odyssey Classics, 2002 "What's Thought Cannot be Unthought" The fifth book in Lucy Boston's "Green Knowe" series finally brings together our two main protagonists: the house's blood relative Tolly and the Chinese refugee Ping, both of whom have featured in the previous books, but never together. Unfortunatly we do not see their meeting, but instead join the story half-way through the summer, by which time the two are already best friends. As always, the ...             Playing with the Enemy: A Baseball Prodigy, a World at War, and a Field of Broken Dreams104 reviews Gary Moore Savas Beatie, 2006 Spoke to my heart I began reading this book with excitement because it was written about a man from Sesser. I grew up in Southern Illinois about 30 minutes north of Sesser, and recently moved here. I excitedly began to identify with places in the book. Maple Hill Cemetery, Bruno's, Mulberry and Matthew street. All of that is what first drew me in. Then the story came to life. It could have been set anywhere in ...             The Origins of The Enemy At Home1 review Dinesh D'souza Amazon, 2007 Clear Talk. No Scrunched Eyebrows. It's always a joy to read something written in a crisp manner for easy comprehension. There was no cause here for scrunched eyebrows with cartoon balloons above them, verbalizing, "Huh?" No heading toward a reading-stress migraine. It was also nice to be able to agree with much (though not all) of what I easily understood in D'souza's points. First, I was impressed that D'souza's background ...             Alexander the Great at War: His army - His battles - His Enemies (General Military)1 review Osprey Publishing, 2008 A Great Overview of Alexander's Military Career Having now read 40+ books about Alexander, I didn't expect this title to offer anything new or insightful, but I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the scholarship and thoughtful prose contained in this book. I was initially a little disappointed browsing through the book as I was hoping for some new graphics, maps and illustrations that I had not seen before, but I suppose that was ...             Thwarting Enemies at Home and Abroad: How to Be a Counterintelligence Officer1 review William R. Johnson Georgetown University Press, 2009 Thwarting Enemies at Home and Abroad I have written this for people who want to know what counterintelligence is, not what it ought to be, and for people who may be interested in it as a trade or profession. The book is about what professional intelligence officers call "tradecraft", specifically the craft used in the trade of counterintelligence. It is not about politics or policy or communism or anticommunism or justice in the ...             Queen Victoria's Enemies (2) : Northern Africa (Men-At-Arms Series, 215)1 review Ian Knight Osprey Publishing, 1989 Armies of 19th Century Africa This Osprey volume covers a somewhat miscellaneous collection of enemies faced by Britain in the mid-late 19th Century from Egypt to Kenya, notable among them being the fearsome Asantes, the Abyssinians, and the fanatical Muslim Madhists, as well as some minor tribes and the following of the rebel Egyptian leader Ahmed 'Urabi. The text provides good coverage of the often inadequate arms of ...             In the Enemy's Sights (Faith at the Crossroads, Book 4) (Steeple Hill Love Inspired Suspense #19)1 review Marta Perry Steeple Hill, 2006 good romantic suspense Ken Vance has returned to Colorado Springs on medical leave, after the jet he was flying was shot down by a shoulder-fired missle. Ken is left with blurred vision, which bars him from flying. Quinn Montgomery, Ken's best friend has been plagued with vandalism at his construction business. He hires Ken as a security guard. Julianna Red Feather had a crush on Ken in high school, but the Vances ...             The Enemy At Home: The Cultural Left and Its Responsibility for 9/11133 reviews Dinesh D'Souza Broadway, 2008 Left decadence is what drives Muslims nuts, and shouldn't conservatives agree? A thought provoking book, less inflammatory than its cover might suggest. D'Souza, who has become a serious politics-and-religion intellectual, makes a case that many conservatives will find surprising but that bears consideration: that radical Muslims hate primarily, not Christianity or American democracy, but the decadence spread around the world by America's cultural left - pornography, ...             Enemy At the Gates: The Battle For Stalingrad William Craig E. P. Dutton & Co., Inc., 1973 World War II, 24 pages of photos.             Rome's Enemies (2): Gallic and British Celts (Men-at-Arms)6 reviews Peter Wilcox Osprey Publishing, 1985 Great book but the picture of the bezerker should let it all hang out!! the amount of scholarship enclosed in these little more than pamphlet simply amazes. there is always some archaeological digs in these books usually showing a chief or warriors burial with artwork.lots of pictures and good explanations of them and good maps considering that in 200 BC the technology of accurate mapmaking was (not there)!! I think isaw a few of these costumed bezerkers in the movie ...             BOMBER PILOT ON THE EASTERN FRONT: 307 Missions Behind Enemy Lines (Red Air Force at War)1 review Vasily Reshetnikov Pen and Sword, 2008 A bomber pilot's point of view Today there are many memoirs out by Soviet soldiers; infantrymen, tankers, artillery men, cavalry troops, partisans, even quite a few fighter pilots. But this is the first time I've come across a bomber pilot's memoirs. More so a bomber pilot who operated in the ADD (Long Range Bomber Air Force). These are the pilots, navigators, machine gunners/radio operators who flew, at times as early as ...             Boys at War, Men at Peace: Former Enemy Air Combatants Meet to Remember and Reconcile6 reviews E. D. McKenzie Vantage Press, 2000 The real deal I read this book with great interest. Every time I thought I had read something incredible, there was something even more incredible in the very next chapter. The guys who were there are the only ones who know what it was like to be shot while flying a B17 bomber over Europe in WWII, then taken POW by the Germans, and endure the rigors of life as a prisoner. The events that took place are ...             Rome's Enemies (3): Parthians and Sassanid Persians (Men-at-Arms)5 reviews Peter Wilcox Osprey Publishing, 1986 Eastern Knights and Horsebow Excellent men-at-arms, although personally I feel that both of these peoples deserved their own title. The text and plates both detail the Scytho-Parthian horse-archers, Partho-Sassanid savaran, and infantry and mercenaries in Persian service, as well as the virtually never ending campaigns between Rome and these two great peoples between the 1st Century BC and the 7th Century AD, when the Arabs ...             The Enemy At the Gate: Habsburgs, Ottomans and the Battle for Europe Andrew Wheatcroft Bodley Head, 2008 In 1683, two empires - the Ottoman, based in Constantinople, and the Habsburg dynasty in Vienna - came face to face in the culmination of a 250-year power struggle: the Great Siege of Vienna. Within the city walls the choice of resistance over surrender to the largest army ever assembled by the Turks created an all-or-nothing scenario: every last survivor would be enslaved or ruthlessly slaughtered. Both sides remained resolute, sustained by ...             Enemy at the Water Cooler: Real-Life Stories of Insider Threats and Enterprise Security Management ...8 reviews Brian Contos Syngress, 2006 Great information and case studies - great book This book was extremely easy to read and enjoyable. The case studies made complex concepts such as collaborative attacks and advanced intruder discovery/remediation techniques understandable. I've even shared the case studies with my management as examples of risk to help push our insider threat program forward. I found that sharing key case studies that are relevant to our business helped to ...             The Enemy at His Pleasure: A Journey Through the Jewish Pale of Settlement During World War I1 review S. Ansky Holt Paperbacks, 2004 A must-read If you are interested in the 20th century history of Jews in Eastern Europe, then this is a must-read book. It is difficult to read as we are not familiar with the places, people, or events that Ansky spoke about. And these are not pleasant events to read about. But we need to know this things, if we are to understand what happened to our families during World War I, even before they were ...             Rome's Enemies (1): Germanics and Dacians (Men at Arms Series, 129)6 reviews Peter Wilcox Osprey Publishing, 1982 More Germanic than Dacian This book touches on most of Rome's major barbarians, Early Germans, Suebian/Marcomannic tribes, Goths, Franks, Anglo-Saxons, and Dacians, and also provides some information on the contemporary Gauls, Sarmatians, and Huns. As a previous reviewer has noted, the Dacians, one of the most exciting peoples of Ancient Eastern Europe, only get about two pages and one plate, when they really deserve ...              search for books alexander, combatant, combatants, counterintelligence, countermeasures, crossroads, cultural, enterprise, germanics, guantanamo, habsburgs, imprisonment, inspired, management, men-at-arms, missions, northern, ottomans, parthians, real-life, reconcile, remember, responsibility, sassanid, security, settlement, stalingrad, suspense, thwarting, victoria books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
