Condizione: Good. An experienced Pentagon correspondent for Newsweek reveals the excruciating training and dangerous missions of America's elite fighting forces, including the Navy SEALs and Delta Force, following them into battle in Desert Storm. From Hell Week to hell on earth, they go where no one else dares, kill with precision, and pull off daring attack, rescue, and reconnaissance missions. What kind of man becomes a secret warrior--a Navy SEAL, Delta Force ranger, Army Green Beret, or Air Force special op pilot? For the first time, veteran Newsweek reporter Douglas Waller takes you inside this secret, elite world, from the SEALs' legendary Hell Week, where trainees get four hours of sleep in five days of body-and-mind-breaking drills--to an electronics-jammed Pave Low, the most sophisticated helicopter in the world. Then he follows the Commandos into the action--in never-before-revealed Desert Storm battle scenes, where U.S. Special Forces waged Scud-busting night missions, behind-the-lines firefights, and some of the most unconventional and dangerous missions in the history of war. Praise for The Commandos Compelling . . . hair-raising . . . wonderfully detailed.--Los Angeles Times Superior . . . vivid portraits of truly original figures.--Booklist Throughly researched and exquisitely woven into a fast-paced story . . . in vitage thriller fashion.--The Friday Review of Defense Literature.…

Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. It had all the ingredients of a movie drama:a scandal that grips Washington and touches the White House; bitter battles and backroom intrigue at the highest levels of the U.S. military; glamorous women who make or break the careers of powerful men; a high-stakes trial with a celebrity defendant who captures the nation's attention . A Question of Loyalty plunges into the seven-week Washington trial of Gen. William "Billy" Mitchell, the hero of the U.S. Army Air Service during World War I and the man who proved in 1921 that planes could sink a battleship. In 1925 Mitchell was frustrated by the slow pace of aviation development, and he sparked a political firestorm, accusing the army and navy high commands, and by inference the president, of treason and criminal negligence in the way they conducted national defense. He was put on trial for insubordination in a spectacular court-martial that became a national obsession during the Roaring Twenties. Douglas Waller has crafted a compelling new biography of the daring Billy Mitchell, a larger-than-life figure remembered as much for his outspokenness as for his innovations in the use of airpower. Waller has uncovered a trove of new letters, diaries, and confidential documents that have enabled him to capture in detail the drama of the court and to build a rich and revealing biography of Mitchell, one of the army's most controversial and flamboyant generals. Born to a millionaire Midwest family at the end of the 1870s, Mitchell joined the military at the age of eighteen and became one of its rising stars. During World War I, he led the largest armada of airplanes ever to attack an enemy force and returned to the United States a dashing young general with a chest full of medals and a radical vision of airpower as the only decisive instrument for future wars. But as the military shrank in the postwar years, Mitchell became increasingly impatient and vocal, lashing out at bureaucratic enemies he accused of impeding airpower's progress. After a tragic airship accident that shocked the nation, he publicly blasted the War and Navy Departments for their handling of aviation and was put on trial for it. A Question of Loyalty is a story about Washington politics, about love and betrayal, about heroes in battle, about determined lawyers and powerful military men pitted against one another in a courtroom.…
