Ink writing on first page. William Henry Stevenson (1 June 1924 – 26 November 2013) was a British-born Canadian author and journalist. His 1976 book A Man Called Intrepid was about William Stephenson (no relation) and was a best-seller. It was made into a 1979 mini-series starring David Niven. Stevenson followed it in 1983 with another book, Intrepid's Last Case. He published his autobiography in 2012. In 1976 Stevenson released the book, 90 Minutes at Entebbe. It was about Operation Entebbe, an operation where Israeli commandos landed at night at Entebbe Airport in Uganda and succeeded in rescuing the passengers of an airliner hi-jacked by Palestinian militants, while incurring very few casualties. Stevenson's "instant book" was written, edited, printed and available for sale within weeks of the event it described. More
New York: W. W. Norton & Company, 1988. First American Edition [stated]. First printing [stated]. Hardcover. Sewn binding. Paper over boards. v, [5], 213, [9] pages. Illustrations. Index. Viktor Suvorov (born April 20, 1947) is a Soviet Army Cold War-era Soviet military intelligence officer who defected to the United Kingdom, eventually becoming a famous writer and historian. Suvorov made his name writing books about the Soviet Army, GRU, and Spetsnaz, but it was his popular history book Icebreaker and several follow-up books about World War II that spurred controversy. Viktor Rezun comes from a military family of mixed Ukrainian-Russian descent, having been either born, or raised, in Ukraine's Cherkasy where his father served. According to Rezun, he studied in a Suvorov Military School: the one based in Voronezh (from 1958 63) and later transferred to Kalinin (from 1963-1965). From 1965-1968 Rezun finished the Frunze Kiev Red Banner Higher Military Command School. In 1968 he served in the 145th Motorized Rifles Regiment of the Carpathian Military District, serving in the invasion of Czechoslovakia. More

Herndon, VA: Mascot Books, 2015. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Hardcover. [8], 316, [10] pages. Glossary. Inscribed by the author on the fep. Inscription reads Kathleen, Thanks for the support & good luck! Andy Symonds. Andy Symonds grew up in a military family and moved every two to three years all over the world. The author started with short stories and poetry as a kid, eventually becoming the editor-in-chief of his high school paper. He graduated from the University of Maryland with a journalism degree, and immediately took a job as a beat reporter job for a daily newspaper. He has since published two of his own novels and was nearing completion on two ghostwriting projects, not to mention dozens of amazing books he has acquired and edited as a publisher. He specializes in both military fiction and non-fiction, with a special emphasis on Special Operations. Both his novels are about and were written with Navy SEALs, and the aforementioned ghostwriting projects are with the wife of a SEAL Team 6 sniper and a Green Beret, respectively. He writes with the same passion that these warriors operate under, and it's was an honor to work with them. He was the head of acquisitions for Mascot Books/Amplify Publishing (a large hybrid publisher). More
Washington, DC: U. S. Government Printing Office, 1961. Limited Edition, number 944 of 500. Wraps. x, 657, [1] pages. Wraps. Fold-out maps. Figures. Tables. Bibliography. Name in ink on title page. Covers soiled. Copy #944 of 500 copies (Clearly it was reprinted after the first 500 and the copy numbers reflected the actual number produced. Believed to be 1000. Prepared under contract with the Department of the Army. This book covers the sociological, political, economic, and military background information essential for planning for psychological operations and unconventional warfare. Very scarce. Project Camelot was a counterinsurgency study begun by the United States Army in 1964. The project was executed by the Special Operations Research Office (SORO) at American University, which assembled an eclectic team of psychologists, sociologists, anthropologists, economists, and other intellectuals to analyze the society and culture of numerous target countries, especially in Latin America. The goal of the project was to enhance the Army's ability to predict and influence social developments in foreign countries. This motive was described by an internal memo on December 5, 1964: "If the U.S. Army is to perform effectively its part in the U.S. mission of counterinsurgency it must recognize that insurgency represents a breakdown of social order and that the social processes involved must be understood." Controversy arose around Project Camelot when professors in South America discovered its military funding and criticized its motives as imperialistic. The Department of Defense ostensibly canceled Project Camelot on July 8, 1965, but continued the same research more discreetly. More

Glossary. Appendices. Minor wear to edges, Some soiling to covers and edges. Pursuant to statute, the Department of Defense prepared this Interim Report which reflects many of the preliminary impressions formed by the Department since the cessation of hostilities. It was noted that much of the technical information needed for sound analysis was still being collected and the final report by the Commander-in-Chief of Central Command had not yet been completed. This report presents a unique snapshot understanding of the conflict and the role played by American armed forces. Pursuant to Title V, Public Law 102-25, this report discusses the conduct of hostilities in the Persian Gulf theater of operations. It builds on the Department's Interim Report of July 1991. A proper understanding of the conduct of these military operations the extraordinary achievements and the needed improvements is an important and continuing task of the Department of Defense as we look to the future. The Persian Gulf War was the first major conflict following the end of the Cold War. The victory was a triumph of Coalition strategy, of international cooperation, of technology, and of people. It reflected leadership, patience, and courage at the highest levels and in the field. Under adverse and hazardous conditions, our airmen, soldiers, sailors, and marines once again played the leading role in reversing a dangerous threat to the world and to our national interests. Their skill and sacrifice lie at the heart of this important triumph over aggression. More
