Keep Off The Skyline - The Story of Ron Cashman and the Diggers in Korea
 Author: Peter Thompson & Robert Macklin Keep Off The Skyline - The Story of Ron Cashman and the Diggers in Korea John Wiley & Sons 2004 Format: PDF Pages: 232 Language: English Size: 45 MB ‘Keep off the skyline’ was Ron Cashman’s watchword in wartime Korea and it helped to keep him alive in confronting a vigilant and dangerous enemy for almost two years of armed conflict. The Korean War is ritually referred to in the Australian media as ‘the Forgotten War’. These were scenes of Australian heroism and Australian sacrifice that deserve their place in the public mind among the easily recognisable battle grounds of the two World Wars. It is the story of a soldier who joined B Company as a rookie in the middle of savage firefight; who was wounded in action three times; who killed men in hand-to-hand combat; and who, in a brief interlude between long periods of barbaric trench warfare, met and fell in love with the woman who would see him through the armed conflict and its unexpected aftermath.

Demanding the Impossible: A History of Anarchism
 Author: Peter H. Marshall Demanding the Impossible: A History of Anarchism HarperPerennial 2008 Format: PDF Size: 34.2 Mb Language: English A fascinating and comprehensive history, 'Demanding the Impossible' is a challenging and thought-provoking exploration of anarchist ideas and actions from ancient times to the present day. Navigating the broad 'river of anarchy', from Taoism to Situationism, from Ranters to Punk rockers, from individualists to communists, from anarcho-syndicalists to anarcha-feminists, 'Demanding the Impossible' is an authoritative and lively study of a widely misunderstood subject. It explores the key anarchist concepts of society and the state, freedom and equality, authority and power and investigates the successes and failure of the anarchist movements throughout the world. While remaining sympathetic to anarchism, it presents a balanced and critical account. It covers not only the classic anarchist thinkers, such as Godwin, Proudhon, Bakunin, Kropotkin, Reclus and Emma Goldman, but also other libertarian figures, such as Nietzsche, Camus, Gandhi, Foucault and Chomsky. No other book on anarchism covers so much so incisively. In this updated edition, a new epilogue examines the most recent developments, including 'post-anarchism' and 'anarcho-primitivism' as well as the anarchist contribution to the peace, green and 'Global Justice' movements. Demanding the Impossible is essential reading for anyone wishing to understand what anarchists stand for and what they have achieved. It will also appeal to those who want to discover how anarchism offers an inspiring and original body of ideas and practices which is more relevant than ever in the twenty-first century.

Drs. Blank, Lawrence Grinter, Karl P. Magyar, Lewis B. Ware, and Bynum E.

Deliver Us From Darkness
 Author: Ian Gardner & Mario DiCarlo Deliver Us From Darkness Osprey Publishing Osprey General Military ISBN: 1782008306 2013 Format: PDF (e-book) Pages: 278 Size: 2 Mb Language: English This follow-up to Tonight We Die As Men continues the story of the 506 Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division as they dropped into Holland as part of Operation Market Garden. The following 72-day campaign saw the 506PIR constantly on the move, defending various transport hubs around Eindhoven, desperately trying to keep open ‘Hell’s Highway’. From there, the airborne troopers moved north to near Arnhem where they took a new position around Betuwe. For two months, the Americans battled against German tanks, constant artillery barrages and driving rain and they grimly held their ground, until the Germans finally abandoned the effort. Written with the help and input from numerous veterans, this book tells the complete story of many of America’s best soldiers as they fought and died in Holland.
I Could Tell You But Then You Would Have To Be Destroyed By Me
 Author:Trevor Paglen I Could Tell You But Then You Would Have To Be Destroyed By Me Melville House Publishing 2007 Language: English Format: PDF Size: 76.5 MB They are on the shoulders of all military personnel: patches showing what a soldiers unit does. But what if that is Top Secret? In a work that combines ingenious journalism and bizarrely encoded art, author/photographer/investigator Trevor Paglen uncovers 75 never-before-seen-in-public military patches that reveal a bizarre secret world of the American military. Paglen investigates classified weapons projects and intelligence operations by examining their own imagery and jargon, disclosing new facts about important classified military units—here known by peculiar names (“Goat Suckers,” “None of Your Fucking Business,” “Tastes Like Chicken”) and illustrated with occult symbols and ridiculous cartoons. The precisely photographed patches—worn by military personnel working on classified missions, such as those at the legendary Area 51—reveal much about a strange and eerie world about which little was previously known. The author has also assembled an extensive and readable guide, based on extensive interviews with military sources and government records, to the patches included here, making this volume perhaps the best available survey of the militarys black world—a $27 billion industry that has quietly grown by almost 50 percent since 9/11.
