The thought of escaping from the pressures of life leads many anguished young men to the French Foreign Legion. However, the brutality of its training regime and the horror stories of its ruthless NCOs have been told by the thousands who have deserted. This book tells the story of those who stayed.
The thought of escaping from the pressures of life leads many anguished young men towards the Foreign Legion. The rose-tinted vision of Beau Geste Overrides the truth -- that life in the so-called Army of Strangers is no picnic. The brutality of its training regime and the horror stories of its ruthless NCOs have been told by the thousands who have deserted. But those who stayed and went beyond the beatings and the Legion's tortuous demands that stretch a man's mental and physical endurance to the very limit, and often beyond it, tell a different tale. John Parker's searching interviews with legionnaires past and present offer a new perspective of this most extreme fighting force. The Legion has served in major operations worldwide from the Allied invasion of Narvik during World War II to more recent conflicts including the Gulf War and Bosnia and this book records true, incredible stories by the men who were there, recounted in their own words, presenting the most authentic and detailed account of life in the Legion.
"Military Mavericks" David Rooney 100.-
251 lk, Pehmed kaaned. Ülevaade Aleksander Suure, Shaka Zulu, Stonewall Jacksoni, Giuseppe Garibaldi, Araabia Lawrence, Von Lettow-Vorbeck'i, Guderian'i, Patton'i, Joe Stilwell'i, Orde Wingate, Skorzeny ja Giap'i karjäärist ja tegemistest.
In the MILITARY PAPERBACKS series, this book, first published in 1999, features mavericks on the battlefield whose eccentric strategies and tactics achieved success by unorthodox means. Each faced opposition from their own side, but all proved their bravery and leadership, showing that success often depends on the presence of just one man.
What makes a maverick? This study of heroes who broke the rules shows how often the day is won by sheer determination to succeed, despite the odds, despite the criticism of peers and elders. It is invariably the maverick who turns every challenge to an opportunity and wins the unwinable.
"Task Force Helmand. A Soldier's Story of life, death and combat on the Afghan front line". 300.-
Kõvad kaaned, 337 lehekülge, fotodega
Doug Beattie returns to Helmand Province for one final tour - and it's the most bloody and brutal conflict yet.
In 2006 Doug Beattie of 1st Battalion Royal Irish Regiment was awarded the Military Cross for his part in recapturing the town of Garmsir from the Taliban. He was due to retire from the Army in 2007, but that was before his CO made a desperate plea: stay and do just one more tour. He couldn't turn his back on the men he had helped train, as they set off to play their part in what has been termed an unwinnable war so, in March 2008, he returned to Afghanistan. Within days of landing in Helmand the 42-year-old wondered what he had let himself in for. If 2006 had been hellish, then 2008 was off the scale. For six months Beattie led Afghan and British troops into repeated, exhausting battles with the Taliban. He took part in 50 major contacts and describes in detail the action-packed reality of life and death on the frontline. The chaos and ferocity of the war is brought to life with the utmost honesty and humanity by an exceptional soldier who describes the horror of seeing men and children die in front of him. There are vivid accounts of the chaos and aftermath of suicide attacks at close quarter, of saving lives in impossible conditions and the challenges of mentoring young soldiers and the sometimes wayward Afghan Army. The book offers extraordinary insight into a campaign which is involving ever larger numbers of British service personnel.
