"Toes of Apollo" is an exciting nautical adventure dramatizing the best and the worst about the U.S. Coast Guard. It's the "Caine Mutiny" on steroids Lt. (jg) Tom Stierwell, a twenty-two year old office falls in love with the beautiful daughter of Captain Kearse, an out-of-control commanding officer on the Coast Guard's "Albatrosss," a unique mystery ship operating in the Eastern Mediterranean, six-thousand miles from the USA. The location is on land and ashore in tumultuous Greece where the Colossus of Rhodes once stood, where religion and greed are a deadly reality on an island of Muslim minarets and the rebuilt castle of Christian crusaders.

In the second of a series of anthologies on future war stories, the leading specialist in the field presents a selection of prophetic tales about the conflict-to-come between the British and the Germans, tales which had immense influence in the quarter-century before the First World War. An extensive range of contemporary illustrations is included.

In this story I have disclosed some of the dark machinations in the Fuhrer's mind when he unleashed the dogs of war in bloody cruelties without conscience. I have tried to reveal uniquely German predispositions or mindsets, if you will, that caused Germans to accept Hitler's leadership. For it was they, the German people, the Volkish Bevolkerung who believed, and it was true, that the Versailles Treaty imposed merciless reparations upon the German people that affected them in complex ways-to annihilate their nationhood, their sovereign compacity forever to make wat. Yet while it virtually destroyed the Kaiserreich of Post WWI and, tructh to tell, said many times, set the stage for Hitler's popularity. The rise of national Socialism, the Nazi Party and WWII the Treaty shoes how mistaken and despotic revenge can be. Christian Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Col. Von Stauffenberg did not want to destroy the German people. They schemed to kill the diabolical fiend Adolph Hitler.

Five tales of battle, intrigue, the sea and adventure from the Napoleonic era
Conan Doyle was justifiably famous for his great detective Sherlock Holmes. But in fact Doyle's first love was historical fiction, and he had a particular interest in and affinity with the age of Napoleon. This led him after the 'demise' of Holmes to create another character much closer to his heart-the impossibly brave, boastful and not very bright, French hussar-Brigadier Gerard. That character's full adventures-complete with all the original magazine illustrations-is available as a Leonaur edition. Fortunately for the many enthusiastic aficionados of Doyle and the Napoleonic Age his efforts in that period of history did not end with Gerard. Here are Doyle's other classic novelettes and stories of the epoch of empires-each one a gem-brought together in a single volume available in soft cover and hard cover for collectors to enjoy over again. Includes Uncle Bernac, The Great Shadow, A Foreign Office Romance, A Straggler of 1815, The 'Slapping Sal' and Doyle's essay on his own Napoleonic history library.

""I love the way Wilfred recycles the bodies. That's fabulous stuff with a direct line to Heller's Catch-22 and perfectly captures the insanity of the Vietnam War."

-Richard Peabody, co-editor of Gargoyle Magazine

Counting bodies in Vietnam. In this earthy war/peace novel, comedy frames grim pictures of war. Morris weaves combat, a love affair, and military satire into a story that is by turns terrifying, gruesome, and mad, and one acted by a memorable cast of characters-grunts and hookers, Vietcong soldiers and spies, heroes and inane officers. It begins on a huge base in the Central Highlands in 1967 where Lieutenant Wilfred Carmenghetti falls in love with Can and smuggles her to a forward firebase. In the field he and his platoon win stunning victories, but spies plot his death, Vietcong soldiers attack the platoon, and Can leaves him. What follows is a surprising and fanciful comedic ending. "Cologne No. 10 For Men" is a book to make us fear, weep, laugh, and remember. A soldier in Vietnam invents a uniquely absurd solution to the horrors of war. A relatively na ve Wilfred Carmenghetti comes to the Far East to outmaneuver the draft and save the Western world. A funny and serviceable satire about the gross rationalizations that propel war and peace. -Kirkus Discoveries

Jack Crain, a beloved son and a young man of promise and hope and quiet strength of charter, enlists in the United States Army after high school to earn money for a college education. With this one fateful step he is pulled into a war that he did not plan or want or understand. Through the experience of one foot soldier and his family-traced from birth to Baghdad-West Point graduate Jason Berndt makes the war in Iraq the palpable tragedy that it is. A Conspicuous Quiet is a parent-child love story that, in defense of love, presents a scathing social and political critique.

When the British and Canadian governments want the people of the world, particularly France, to be reminded of the French Vichy government's involvement and active participation in the Final Solution during World War 2, a simple plan of communication turns into dangers never anticipated.

Special consultant to MI6 Ed Crowe, along with his special friend and CSIS operative Pat W., spend their August 1985 'honeymoon' in Paris in order to communicate the details of the Vichy's proactive involvement. The success of the plan leads to international headlines and the identification of neo-Nazi groups in both France and Britain, including their importation of illegal drugs into Britain.

The ensuing activity results in the reluctant involvement of Scotland Yard and the enthusiastic involvement of the CIA.

While the work is dangerous and deadly, it only serves to deepen the love between Ed Crowe and Carolyn Andrews, daughter of Lord Stonebridge, the head of the British Secret Service, MI6.

They are called "the quiet professionals." But for the Green Berets, life on the streets of Iraq is anything but quiet.

With bombs going off all around them, a Special Forces A-Team is forced to fight terrorism under the most arduous of conditions. The Iraqis fighting beside them are poorly trained and unaccustomed to battle conditions. Team members squabble with each other when they should be taking joint aim at the enemy. And the team's chain of command continues to put the kind of absurd restrictions on operations that enable terrorists instead of combating them.

Luckily for the Green Berets, they have John, known to the Iraqis under his command as "Shytaan Ilabyaad": the White Devil. A ruthless team sergeant who refuses to be hampered by superiors dictating conduct from behind secure walls, he leads his team to do whatever it takes to defeat the enemy.

From fighting in the streets of Fallujah to sneak-and-peek operations in the neighborhoods of Baghdad, "The Green Berets" shows what freedom-fighting is all about.
