    The Hunt for Bin Laden

    The Hunt for Bin Laden

    Engelstalig, gebonden met omslag, in zeer goede staat 

    As the [al-Qaida terrorists] charged one wall, three Green Berets leaned over the parapets, oblivious to the enemy small-arms fire that was cracking by their heads and shoulders.
    Focus, squeeze, focus, squeeze, they recited quietly. . . . Each time . . . the lifeless body [of an al-Qaida terrorist] would snap back through the desert air and drop onto the sandy courtyard.
    The war in Afghanistan was the most secret conflict since the CIAs covert war in Laos; thousands of journalists covered it, yet, ironically, little is known about how it was waged or what really happened--until now.
    The Hunt for bin Laden plunges the reader into Americas War on Terror, from the first top-secret meetings of TASK FORCE DAGGER in Tampa on the afternoon of September 11, 2001, through the liberation of Kabul sixty-two days later and the tragedies of OPERATION ANACONDA. The book takes the reader into the heat of battle--as seen through the eyes of the Green Berets on the ground. This is the story of how only a few hundred men, operating from a secret Special Forces base, changed the course of history in Central Asia and destroyed a hundred-thousand-man terrorist army in less than ninety days.
    Action-packed and controversial, The Hunt for bin Laden is teeming with revelations and inside information. The truth about John Walker Lindh and Mike Spann, the failure of the conventional generals, the courage of the Northern Alliance, the wounding and murder of journalist, and the flaws and frustrations of the hunt for bin Laden himself.
    In mid-December 2001, Robin Moore arrived in Afghanistan, where he joined his old friends, whom he had celebrated thirty-five years earlier in his book The Green Berets and who were now calling in airstrikes and fighting alongside the armies of the Northern Alliance against the terrorist al-Qaida and Taliban. In less than three winter months, about a hundred Green Berets accounted for the deaths of perhaps as many as forty thousand terrorists and the winning of a war in Afghanistan--where the Soviets had found fighting a war all but impossible.

    The Destruction of...

    The Destruction of Lord Raglan

    Engelstalige paperback, in nieuwstaat

    In March 1854 England declared war on Russia, launching one of the most unnecessary campaigns in history. A few weeks later, the finest army that had ever left these shores sailed from Portsmouth, gloriously clothed, splendidly confident - fated for destruction in the Crimea. Commander-in-chief of this army was Lord Raglan, a courageous and inspiring leader who, nevertheless, was soon to be pilloried by the press and abandoned by his government. With Lord Raglan as its central character, the book tells the curious story of the Crimean War as a whole with its mismanagement, rivalries, and horrors. The camp life in Turkey and Bulgaria, the landing of the Crimean shores, the charge of the Heavy and Light Brigades at Balaclava, the frantic, nightmarish battle in the mist at Inkerman, the long and desperate winter, the final assaults - all are described with the clarity, perception, and dramatic power for which Christopher Hibbert is rightly well known. In the words of Lord Birkenhead in his review in The Bookman of London, It is the great merit of THE DESTRUCTION OF LORD RAGLAN that the author, while observing impeccable scholarship throughout, has given us a work as gripping and terrible as the chapters on Borodino in WAR AND PEACE from which one rises charged with torturing emotions. Such is the vivid power of the narrative and so keen the author's visual sense that the reader feels he is present as the terrible battle of Alma is fought, and hears the screams on the scaling ladders at Sebastopol. Wonderful too, is his evocation of the scents and scenery of this strange land, excruciating his description of the suffering o the troops. Extensive research from masses of family and official papers, diaries, letters and reports from England, France and Russia result in a book of remarkable power and subtlety - exciting and thorough, authoritative and vivid. -- from dust jacket.

    Drie zakken...

    Drie zakken dameskleding, twee cakes Kyiv en een sniper

    Mooi exemplaar, paperback met zijflappen, nagenoeg als nieuw.

    "Als op 24 februari 2022 Russische tanks Oekraïne binnenrollen begeeft Jaap Scholten zich vanuit zijn dorp in Hongarije naar de grens om een jong Oekraïens gezin te helpen z'n thuisland te ontvluchten. Scholten raakt meer en meer betrokken bij de oorlog. Hij vangt vluchtelingen op en zamelt geld in voor traumapacks, helmen en quadrocopters. Met de directrice van een Kyivse cakefabriek gaat hij naar een begrafenis in Irpin, bevoorraadt hij soldaten in Hostomel en brengt hij 150 kilo meel naar de broodbaksters in de bevrijde stad Chernihiv. Hij raakt bevriend met Sean, een voormalig US Marine en sniper, die van zijn vrouw toestemming heeft gekregen drie maanden aan Oekraïnse zijde mee te vechten. Wanneer Seans tijd erop zit, haalt Scholten hem op in een met hulpgoederen en brandstof volgeladen terreinauto. Op de reis van Kyiv naar Boedapest, langs uitgebrande tankstations en tot forten omgebouwde dorpen, hoort hij van Sean de details van het leven aan het front en over diens bloedstollende reddingsactie van een zes dagen oude baby uit een ondergronds ziekenhuis in Marioepol. 'Drie zakken dameskleding, twee cakes Kyiv en een sniper' is een logboek over een turbulente reis door een land in oorlog en een uniek en persoonlijk verslag over de onwaarschijnlijke moed, veerkracht en eensgezindheid die de oorlog bij de Oekraïners heeft losgemaakt."--Publisher information.
