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.

Alistair Fitch was getting tired of seeing his friends fall in love and then fall into blissful happiness. Actually, he wasn't tired of it. He just wanted that for himself.

Through meticulously researched and stirring accounts — some well known and some chronicled here in book form for the first time — Doreen Rappaport brings to light the defiance of tens of thousands of Jews in Nazi-occupied Europe during World War II. These resisters answered the genocidal madness and unspeakable depravity that was Hitler’s Holocaust with the greatest weapons of all — courage, ingenuity, the will to survive, and the resolve to save others or to die trying.

There's a memory that haunts him: an image of a young Iraqi boy as a bullet hits his chest. Matt can't shake the feeling that he was somehow involved in his death. But because of a head injury he sustained just moments after the boy was shot, Matt can't quite put all the pieces together.

It took me 37,287 words to describe the impact sexual trauma in the military has had on my life. It has taken me over 30 years to come to terms with my experience where I can now write about it and speak about it. I want to educate people about rape in the military. Perhaps I will be able to help others by sharing my experience. To keep silent just perpetuates the violence and reinforces the culture of rape that has been accepted in the military. My insight in this book will be helpful to both practitioners helping veterans and to other veterans suffering from sexual trauma as well.

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,...

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.

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 ...

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.

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.

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.

Within these pages wait violent fights, disease, death, controversy, sexuality, tragedy and crime. This journal documents a hateful young man's path to darkness. Many events that occur are based on real events. You will find many moments from the authors own life sewn into the life of Arthur Gale. You can only go so far before all hope of return is lost; this book reaches that point, and goes even farther. James represented the light, Arthur is the dark. There is no hero. There is only Arthur.

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.

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.

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.
