I grew up with his sons and he treated me like I was one of his own. He never spoke of his service. He never watched a war movie when it came on the television; he either changed the channel or shut the set off. He was a quiet man. These were real men. The description of the training and missions is full of detail that brings the story to ...             Photo Fakery: The History and Techniques of Photographic Deception and Manipulation12 reviews Dino A.

Tenney Brassey's Inc, 1995 Tenney does justice to an event all too often forgetten.... I just finished this book, and I must say I am inspired. Lester Tenney deserves an enormous amount of respect and admiration for what he endured and acomplished during his time as an american POW.

I got this book because I just loved the Horatio Hornblower mini series on A & E. This book really shows how they did the special effects in the movie. The detail in the writing as well as the great photographs is amazing. It goes into how they copied to scale perfectly the old ships to make the models for the movie.It also goes into detail about the actual ships they modeled the models after. ...             Mole - The True Story of the First Russian Spy to Become an American Counterspy3 reviews William Hood Brassey's Inc, 1993 The real deal about espionage Much has been written about spies, spy-craft and espionage. Little has been written by those actively engaged in the business. William Hood, the nom de plume of a retired CIA officer, gives his story of the first Soviet agent recruited by American intelligence during the Cold War. It is a fascinating, true-life tale. I would recommend this book exclusively on this point, yet there is more to ...             CIA, Inc: Espionage & the Craft of Business Intelligence7 reviews F. W. Rustmann Brassey's Inc., 2002 An Intelligence Pro's Rapid Primer on Modern Espionage If anyone wants to get a rapid primer on how modern espionage relates to the national and international business world, this is an excellent book to read.

To this jaded reader/reviewer, in the ...             The Spy Who Saved the World: How a Soviet Colonel Changed the Course of the Cold War Jerrold L. Schecter, Peter S.

Then ...             Spitfires, Thunderbolts, and Warm Beer: An American Fighter Pilot over Europe (World War II Commemorative)10 reviews Philip D. Caine Brassey's Inc, 1995 An education and entertaining read Although history and aviation buffs will definitely enjoy this book, there was so much more to it. This book really makes you think about the value of life. Many, many people died in this book, from training accidents, falling off boats in the ocean, getting hit by "friendly fire", as well as getting hit in combat. Yet nobody complained. Lives were expendable for the cause.

Mr. Thomas has taken a step by step description of crime control through the prisons, the police, and the courts not only to show how they are not working; but also to show realistic changes that should be made if our society is to continue to exist. In light of the Littleton, Colorado tragedy, this books shows solutions that are light years ahead of anything I've seen coming from the experts ...             American Pilots in the Raf: The Wwii Eagle Squadrons2 reviews Philip D. Caine Brassey's Inc, 1998 Read it in 2 days ! I read it in two days, because this book is so absorbing, no bullsh..t orientated, focusing on facts, not speculation, not legends.

But I was wrong. This book showed me a group of elite soldiers I knew nothing about, and I was amazed by their dedication and performance. Somehow we always want to think of the "enemy" as a group of uneducated rabble, but after reading this book, I'm amazed that the Allies did as well against ...             The Rogue's March: John Riley and the St.Patrick's Battalion (Warriors)7 reviews Peter F. Stevens Brassey's Inc, 2000 For God or Country? An engaging history lesson of both the Mexican-American War and the Anti-Catholic/Immigrant prejudice of Nativists and West Pointers who would later be made famous by the American Civil War.

All the major battles of the war are covered with maps and detailed first hand accounts of what ...             Dien Bien Phu: The Epic Battle America Forgot (Ausa Book)5 reviews Howard R.
