During the 10,000-day Vietnam war Australia had agreed with the
United States to have a team of Australian Army Special Air
Services (SAS) soldiers conduct covert missions into Cambodia. The
SAS soldiers would be bivouacked in Thailand. With their names
changed for security and personal safety reasons, this is a
dramatized story of events that actually happened involving a small
band of Australian Special Air Service trained specialists involved
in covert intelligence activities who were co-opted into the
Defence Intelligence Organisation (DIO) repertoire of Plausibly
Deniable assets deployed worldwide into the shadows of political
indulgence in locations where Australian forces should not be seen
or heard. These Australian SAS Covert operations undertaken are
incidents that have never before been exposed and include
cross-sovereign-border infiltrations into Cambodia and the daily
operations of the elimination of Viet Cong munition dumps. Also
revealed are an unauthorized fatal attack by United States Army
helicopters on SAS warriors; the rescue of French tourists
kidnapped by Muslim terrorists in Mindanao, Philippines, and
Operation _Eye of the Storm_ into Northern Kuwait/Eastern Iraq
evolving into Desert Storm. As revealed these covert operations
included offshore intervention of East Timorese Fretilin Terrorists
sabotaging Australian offshore Exploration and Oil Drilling
activities in the Timor Sea; _Back Door into Hell_ during the
Somalia conflict, plus covert black ops elimination of Muslim
Jihadist activities on homeland soil assisted by Israeli
intelligence. This astounding expos opens the closed door behind
which governments operate to deal quietly with situations they
prefer not to mention.
Teaching social sciences covers the teaching of social sciences at
Foundation, Intermediate and Senior phase. While the book empowers
pre-service teachers to realise the outcomes of the CAPS
curriculum, it is not simply a guide to teaching the curriculum. It
engages student teachers as reflective professionals required to
make decisions as to the priorities and emphases of their teaching
approaches in the context in which they find themselves. With the
perfect balance of theory and practice, this book equips
pre-service teachers with extensive subject knowledge and
contemporary teaching techniques to take into their future
classrooms. Through the exploration of issues around race, gender,
class, xenophobia, the book explores how curriculum can serve to
instill in learners the values embedded in the South African
constitution and a sense of citizenship while encouraging active
engagement and thought. Teaching social sciences conceptualizes the
social sciences within the South African context, including
teaching methods and principles, how to teach controversial issues,
skills-based teaching and source-based teachings, and how learners
learn social sciences. There is a practical focus on how to arrange
field trips and working with GIS. It also discusses what
differentiates being a social sciences teacher and learner from
other disciplines, including the qualities of being adaptable,
context-sensitive and innovative, while facilitating independent
thinking in students. The book covers the use of ICT in teaching
social sciences, as well as lesson planning, assessment and
classroom management in the social science classroom. The values of
Ubuntu and an African-centric contextual and theoretical approach
are foregrounded. There is an especial focus on inclusive education
and indigenous knowledge systems.
