ISBN: 0297846744

If the big wars of the 20th century were about saving civilization and countries, small wars are about saving people. Instead of defeating Hitler, they are concerned with the capture of international pariahs like General Noriega, Radovan Karadic or Colonel Aideed - or the rescue of hostages or prisoners-of-war. This is the two-fold mission of the US Army's Special Forces, the 'Green Berets'. David Isby investigates their most famous missions from POW rescues at the end of the Second World War to the extraction of shot-down pilots from under the noses of the Bosnian Serb militia in 1995.

The US Air Force After Vietnam: Postwar Challenges and Potential for Responses

By: Donald J. Mrozek

Price: $9.30

Publisher: Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama, Air Force Press: 1988

Seller ID: 4646719

Binding: Paperback

Condition: Very Good

In this study, Dr. Donald J. Mrozek probes various groups of Americans as they come to grips with the consequences of the Vietnam War. He poses far more questions than he answers, and some of what he says may invite strong dissent. Yet it will serve its author's purpose if something here provokes creative thinking and critical reexamination, even of some long-cherished ideas. Viewing the Vietnam War as a logical outcome of American defense thinking has challenging implications, as does seeing the "cold war consensus" on foreign affairs as an oddity. Yet this is not a litany of objection and...

Parallels: The Soldiers' Knowledge of Oral History of Contemporary Warfare

ISBN: 0202303926

Binding: Trade Paperback

Condition: Good

Parallels reclaims the experience of American and Soviet participants in the two longest and most devastating episodes of contemporary warfare, Vietnam and Afghanistan, and places them within the context of social and behavioral theory. As texts, the narratives, here ordered and re-encoded, are as fragmentary as the war experiences they recount. Much of their, language is hermetic; sometimes it is brutal and unpalatable. Within the broader context of this book, however, they attain to a historical relevance, posing a challenge to conventional understandings of contemporary warfare.

The United States Navy's fight for control of the waters of Southeast Asia. By far the greatest contribution of the narrative is the insight it provides into the hows and whys of United States involvement in Vietnam, and the attempt of that involvement to bring freedom to those who were unable to achieve it by their own efforts. We see the United States more as a caretaker and less as a policeman in terms of motivation for its involvement half a world away. And . . . we see the tremendous price paid by those who served to ensure that freedom - ordinary men who, by fate, were thrown together in...

This book is a collection of accounts describing the combat action of small Army units-squads and platoons, companies and batteries. These are the units that engage in combat, suffer the casualties, and make up the fighting strength of the battalions, regiments, divisions, corps, and finally, of the field army.

Members of a squ...
