Military Violence

Used to surprises at Belle Fleur, the Gray Wolf team shouldn't have been surprised by three little kids asking them to free their friend, Sterling. But when they divulge that he's accused of murdering a young woman, raping and beating her, the men are more than a little intrigued. Finding and freeing Sterling isn't the hard part. The hard part is finding out who is playing sick games with people phobias and fears. The signs point to a dozen possible offenders. Finding the one is harder than they thought. When it begins to involve their own wives, the men are more determined than ever.

Brixton Slater never expected to find the love of his life while on a mission. Stupid, really. Every man he knew found their wives during stressful situations. It seemed the blessing and curse of the Belle Fleur boys. This one was different though. He saved her, she saved him. Easy. What wasn't easy was trying to figure out the game her mother was playing. While he and his teammates work on that situation, everyone back home is getting ready for a wedding. Daphne Bishop was the adopted daughter of Lord and Lady Bishop. She and her sister had been adopted as little girls and given the best ...

When someone from California flies all the way to Belle Fleur because trash is appearing on her beach, the team thinks maybe this one is out of their element. Unfortunately, it's right in their wheelhouse and they are all in on helping this client. They never expect to find something so heinous, something that hits all of them so close to home. This is what they do. This is why they created Gray Wolf and all the others before. Lessons learned for the bad guys. Never count these men out. They are still ready to deliver justice in the most horrific way.

It's not often that the team meets a man who could easily overpower them. Bigger, stronger, and looking to find the person who murdered his teammate, New Orleans Fire center, Trevon Marks, is asking for the help of the team. But not everything is as it seems. Football should be a game, an occupation for some, but not a death sentence. The world of semi-pro football is not something the team has explored before. They hope they never have to again. Dirty, cut-throat, all about the money, they're shocked to learn that owners are killer their players for profit and contracts are signed with no ...

When an elderly woman calls for the Gray Wolf team to help solve the murder of her friend, they're unsure that anyone has actually been murdered at all. A hit and run while she was visiting a psychic in Jackson Square doesn't seem like a murder. But a few pieces of information don't make sense and the more they investigate, the worse this case looks. In fact, it appears the seniors are killing the seniors. The GW team will find a way to stop it, even if it involves those they consider brothers.

Sometimes the hardest battle is the one after the war. As one of the soldiers on the front line of Operation Iraqi Freedom, Lieutenant Scotti was taught that weakness is what gets you killed: No hesitation, focus your energies on your objective, and complete the mission. Upon returning from war, Scotti approached his new life the same way. He ignored the creeping depression and numbness he called "The Blue Cascade" and charged ahead toward his goal to get an MBA, secure a high-paying finance job, and retire young and rich.

Eli has been in business since he was twelve years old. He tried college and went to boarding school, but all he really wants out of life he already has. Except an omega, and he leaves home to go in search of his. Like Eli, Maze has known he was a shifter his whole life. His single mom is an omega and very independent. And wealthy. She came from money, told her conservative family to shove it, and ran off with what she pulled together to live the life she wanted (the same with Eli’s tamer mother). Maze has been tied to science and technology ever since he can remember. He started college,...

At least three-quarters of a million lives were lost during the American Civil War. Given its seemingly indiscriminate mass destruction, this conflict is often thought of as the first "total war." But Aaron Sheehan-Dean argues for another interpretation. The Calculus of Violence demonstrates that this notoriously bloody war could have been much worse. Military forces on both sides sought to contain casualties inflicted on soldiers and civilians.

When New Mexico became part of the United States, the territory contained 295 land grants, the largest of these being the Maxwell Land Grant. The size and boundaries of the grant were disputed, with some believing that much of the land was public domain. Settlers on this land were fought not only by the land grant owners but also by a group of corrupt politicians and lawyers— known as the Santa Fe Ring (most notably Thomas Catron and Stephen Elkins)—who tried to use the situation for personal profit and land acquisition.

Science and violence converge in modern warfare. While the finest minds of the 20th century have improved human life, they have also produced human injury. They engineered radar, developed electronic computers, and helped mass produce penicillin all in the context of military mobilization. Scientists also developed chemical weapons, atomic bombs, and psychological warfare strategies. Rational Fog explores the quandary of scientific and technological productivity in an era of perpetual war.

Though the female fighter is often seen as an anomaly, women make up nearly 30 percent of militant movements worldwide. Historically, these women - viewed as victims, weak-willed wives, and prey to Stockholm Syndrome - have been deeply misunderstood. Radicalizing Her holds the female fighter up in all her complexity as a kind of mirror to contemporary conversations on gender, violence, and power.

Third, in the Jernigan's War series, Jernigan's Final Battle reunites Dix Jernigan with a handful of his fellow patriots in order to overcome a bastion of the evil former government.

You can be told how to act in a hypercompetitive environment, but it is far more useful to understand why. As a career infantryman with multiple deployments in support of several different campaigns across various continents, Michael Nolan outlines in this book the natural laws that govern how violence works based upon his experience and observations in the field. He also explains the need to integrate and apply both a rational left-brain approach as well as an intuitive right-brain approach in order to achieve success in the hypercompetitive arena of war.

Until recently, this localized violence was largely ignored, scholars focusing instead on large-scale operations of the war - the decisions and actions of generals and presidents. But as Daniel Sutherland reminds us, the impact of battles and elections cannot be properly understood without an examination of the struggle for survival on the home front, of lives lived in the atmosphere created by war.

We have a strong instinct to belong to small groups defined by clear purpose and understanding - "tribes". This tribal connection has been largely lost in modern society, but regaining it may be the key to our psychological survival.

After learning about Nazi persecution of his family, Herschel Grynszpan (pronounced "Greenspan"), an impoverished 17-year-old Jew living in Paris, bought a small handgun and on November 7, 1938, went to the German embassy and shot the first German diplomat he saw. When the man died two days later, Hitler and Goebbels made the shooting their pretext for the great state-sponsored wave of anti-Semitic terror known as Kristallnacht, still seen by many as an initiating event of the Holocaust.
