Book Description
Some call her the Apache Joan of Arc. For more than a century, Apaches have kept alive the memory of their hero Lozen. Lozen, valiant warrior, revered shaman, and beautiful woman, fought alongside Geronimo, Cochise, and Victorio, holding out against the armies of both the United States and Mexico. Here, at last, is her compelling story, set in the last half of the nineteenth century. Orphaned sister of Victorio, Lozen has known since childhood that the spirits have chosen her to defend Apache freedom. As the U.S. army prepares to move her people to an Arizona reservation, Lozen forsakes marriage and motherhood to fight among the men. Supported by her brother and the other chiefs, Lozen proves her mettle as a soldier, reconnaissance scout, and peerless military strategist. Rafe Collins is a young adventurer and veteran of the Mexican War. On a dangerous journey between El Paso and Santa Fe, he builds an unlikely but enduring rapport with the Warm Spring Apaches. When his bond to Lozen goes far beyond friendship, he must undertake a perilous course that will change his life forever. A sensitive treatment of a little-known Native American figure, Ghost Warrior is a rich and powerful frontier tale with unforgettable characters.

Book Description
The untold story of the Ya'mas, Israel's special forces undercover team that infiltrated Palestinian terrorist strongholds during the Second Intifada. It was the deadliest terror campaign ever mounted against a nation in modern times: the al-Aqsa, or Second, Intifada. This is the untold story of how Israel fought back with an elite force of undercover operatives, drawn from the nation's diverse backgrounds and ethnicities--and united in their ability to walk among the enemy as no one else dared. Beginning in late 2000, as black smoke rose from burning tires and rioters threw rocks in the streets, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and Arafat's Palestinian Authority embarked on a strategy of sending their terrorists to slip undetected into Israel's towns and cities to set the country ablaze, unleashing suicide attacks at bus stops, discos, pizzerias--wherever people gathered. But Israel fielded some of the most capable and cunning special operations forces in the world. The Ya'mas, Israel National Police Border Guard undercover counterterrorists special operations units, became Israel's eyes-on-target response. Launched on intelligence provided by the Shin Bet, indigenous Arabic-speaking Dovrim, or "Speakers," operating in the West Bank, Jerusalem, and Gaza infiltrated the treacherous confines where the terrorists lived hidden in plain sight, and set the stage for the intrepid tactical specialists who often found themselves under fire and outnumbered in their effort to apprehend those responsible for the carnage inside Israel. This is their compelling true story: a tale of daring and deception that could happen only in the powder keg of the modern Middle East. INCLUDES PHOTOGRAPHS AND MAPS

Book Description
NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD WINNER • NATIONAL BESTSELLER • With this book, the acclaimed author created an entirely new form—an exhilarating blend of autobiography and mythology, of world and self, of hot rage and cool analysis. First published in 1976, it has become a classic in its innovative portrayal of multiple and intersecting identities—immigrant, female, Chinese, American. “A classic, for a reason” – Celeste Ng via Twitter As a girl, Kingston lives in two confounding worlds: the California to which her parents have immigrated and the China of her mother’s “talk stories.” The fierce and wily women warriors of her mother’s tales clash jarringly with the harsh reality of female oppression out of which they come. Kingston’s sense of self emerges in the mystifying gaps in these stories, which she learns to fill with stories of her own. A warrior of words, she forges fractured myths and memories into an incandescent whole, achieving a new understanding of her family’s past and her own present.

Book Description
Ghost Warriors takes you into the jungles of Vietnam in late 1967 to accompany the brave men of E-Company's twenty-eight Long Range Patrol teams, later re-designated as Army Rangers. While 2,600,000 U.S. military served in Vietnam, only 5,300 saw action as Army Long Range Patrol, Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol, or Rangers. No forces in Vietnam had more close-up enemy contact. Accompany teenage paratroopers as they are inserted by helicopter, Navy boats, or parachute into triple-canopy jungle, and then rely on their survival and fighting skills to provide reconnaissance for the U.S. Army's 1st Field Force. Experience the air war from the perspectives of a helicopter gunship commander and a fixed-wing pilot. Join the Ghost Warriors as they participate in a night combat jump, train with Marine Force Recon, and go on a dangerous mission to recover a top-secret scope. Discover how some of the intelligence they gathered could have minimized the impact of the enemy's Tet Offensive. Enjoy light-hearted moments, too, as humor and goofing around helps the guys cope with three grim realities of war-danger, destruction, and death.Ghost Warriors also covers stories from the home front. Take a glimpse into the hearts and minds of wives, sweethearts, and family members left in the States to cope with concern for their soldier's well-being, insufficient Army pay, job discrimination, and the prevalent public disdain for the war (and by association, their loved one in 'Nam).One Ghost Warrior, James Worth, says, "I look back at the Vietnam War with plenty of mixed feelings, but on one thing there can be no doubt. I got to fight with the best soldiers of the Vietnam War, the baddest-ass do-anything guys you could imagine. It's a great honor just to be with them, to be one one of them. I served with the best warriors America put out in that war; they were tough, dedicated fighters who were not afraid to take on the enemy's A-Team. . . . These were the epitome of paratroopers taking the war to the enemy and shoving it down their throats. Take that, motherfuckers! The U.S. Airborne was here!"

Book Description
I was fed up with the laws and how the government political system was able to have a double standard. The laws didn't apply to the wealthy or the politicians. I had made the decision; it was time. I had been planning and plotting this for over a year. No more waiting. I could no longer just sit around and let things take their own course. My plan was a movement and that movement was called. "Con Pollo Loco": With Crazy Chicken. I choose it more just to be an ass.-It had no real meaning but it made me laugh. So that was what it was going to be. My plan was actually very simple. I was going to "assassinate" an unethical local political figure and make the country stand up and take notice of my movement. Oh, we weren't going to assassinate him the way you think; there would be no violence, no killings, only an assassination of their character, and well, maybe their job and the lifestyle they were enjoying at the expense of others. The politician would not be able to brush this under the rug. I was going to make sure that when the event took place, there would be no turning back. I had chosen my mark: Bruce Pearson, the Oakland county executive... his time was coming .I was going to make sure that when the event took place, there would be no turning back. He would have to either make changes or resign. I worked on the specifics of the plan for a year. I wanted to make sure there was no way Pearson could get out or get away with this again. Once the "assassination" was completed, I would post it to the web and wait to see how the citizens of America would take or embrace or maybe smash this movement.... I woke the following morning, slowly. I had been up late watching to see if anyone had viewed the youtube video we posted and sometime around 4am I went to bed. It was approximately 6 hours after the Assassination took place. As I was lying in the bed trying to wipe the sleep from my eyes, I hear a yell that shoots me up from my slumber. It is Jake, "Hey, man, get out here; this is crazy! We hit 80,000 and its going up faster than I can even say. It has gone viral. Your video has gone viral!" I rushed out into the room to look at the computer to see what Jake was screaming about and sure enough the video had gone viral. "Overnight sensation" some would say. I was excited. But then, as the counter kept rising, I had a sinking feeling in my stomach. I was not going to survive this. Oh, but, Bruce Pearson wasn't going to be able to survive this either. But holly crap it was happening. We all yelled and laughed and jumped up and down. We had posted the actual video onto youtube from a site on the other side of town and at a McDonald's. With a lap top that was old and outdated and then Tossed in a dumpster.Over the next several weeks, we all continued to go to our jobs and live life as usual. The only thing was that, silently across the country, "cell groups" were forming in mass putting out copy-cat reproductions. They were posting daily that they had joined the movement of "Con Pollo Loco" and they too were taking action "assassinating" people of influence for their lack of character.The internet was exploding with excitement about the "movement", so were the news Channels. Fearing some out of control extremist would hop on this bandwagon and do something horrible, the Government was now calling me Public Enemy Number One, and vowed to get me.Instead of being a dumb ass, I should have thought about it, but how could I have known. This was the moment that I realized I had to go. I had to run. I had to leave right then. We knew it had happened. We had talked about it and joked about it, but then, here it was: We had started one of the greatest movements for change in the history books. We shook hands, said goodbye and headed out. I turned and drove off into the early morning sun, not really knowing where I was going or what I was going to do....
