"Military fiction buffs looking for immersion in authentic renderings of infantry combat will appreciate Scott's latest Vietnam war story."PUBLISHERS WEEKLYFour men who had nothing in common -- except the raw courage that was their greatest weapon during the fierce thirty-five-day conflict of the Ia Drang. This is the story of the men who fought with them -- and the 304 who didn't return.

Dubbed "the Expendables," Festina and her elite military company, whose job is to land on hostile planets and make contact with alien cultures, are ordered to take part in an "exploratory mission" on the surface of a planet from which no one has ever returned. Original.

A novel about the men of the First Air Cavalry in Vietnam and the bloody battle of the la Drang   Black, white, rich, poor, southerner, and northerner—in Vietnam they became brothers, brothers beyond blood. Men like Vinny, Blake, Eugene, and tough old Flynn had nothing in common—except the raw courage that was their greatest weapon during the fierce thirty-five-day conflict of the la Drang, the first battle to pit a U.S. Army division against a regular North Vietnamese Army division.   This is their story, and the story of the men who fought with them—and the 304 who didn’t return. Their lives and deaths are etched in the horror and agony of day-to-day combat and nights of exhaustion and mortars. In a hard and dirty war, it was easy to find selfless courage and respect for one another.   “Military fiction buffs looking for immersion in authentic renderings of infantry combat will appreciate [The Expendables].”—Publishers Weekly

An Intern, Driving To A Wedding In Phoenix, Picks Up A Young Female Hitch-Hiker Who Is Later Found Murdered, Drawing Him Into A Race To Find The Killer, Before The Police Can Suspect Him.

How is it possible for an innocent man to come within nine days of execution? An Expendable Man answers that question through detailed analysis of the case of Earl Washington Jr., a mentally retarded, black farm hand who was convicted of the 1983 rape and murder of a 19-year-old mother of three in Culpeper, Virginia. He spent almost 18 years in Virginia prisons—9 1/2 of them on death row—for a murder he did not commit.This book reveals the relative ease with which individuals who live at society's margins can be wrongfully convicted, and the extraordinary difficulty of correcting such a wrong once it occurs.Washington was eventually freed in February 2001 not because of the legal and judicial systems, but in spite of them. While DNA testing was central to his eventual pardon, such tests would never have occurred without an unusually talented and committed legal team and without a series of incidents that are best described as pure luck.Margaret Edds makes the chilling argument that some other “expendable men” almost certainly have been less fortunate than Washington. This, she writes, is “the secret, shameful underbelly” of America's retention of capital punishment. Such wrongful executions may not happen often, but anyone who doubts that innocent people have been executed in the United States should remember the remarkable series of events necessary to save Earl Washington Jr. from such a fate.

This is the dramatic story of how a single obsolescent Russian battleship named Slava, or "Glory," managed for more than two years during World War I to stave off the might of the German navy. Anchored in the Gulf of Riga and supported by a collection of gunboats and old destroyers from Russia's Baltic Fleet, this old battleship was considered expendable. In 1915 it lived up to its name by playing a vital, yet underappreciated role in the outcome of the war, preventing the German advance against Petrograd, the capital of Imperial Russia and a major industrial center.

Exposing the unique nature of the United States’ elite fighting force, this narrative reveals how covert operations are often masked to permit and even sponsor assassination, outright purposeful killing of innocents, illegal use of force, and bizarre methods in combat operations. Through this compelling memoir, the author reveals the fear these warriors share not of the enemy they have been trained to fight in battle, but of the wrath of the U.S. government should they find themselves classified as “expendable.”

One of the great stories of WWII relating the story of the exploits of Motor Torpedo Boat Squadron Three, a PT boat unit defending the Philippines against Japanese invasion during the Battle of the Philippines (1941-42) in World War II. When the first Japanese planes roared over Manila Bay, Motor Torpedo Boat Squadron 3 went into action. And when General MacArthur was ordered to Australia, Squadron 3 - what was left of it - was picked to take him on the perilous trip out of Bataan. Squadron 3 fought on the sea, but its members talked in the comradeship of battle, with the men who fought on land and in the air. The result is more than the adventure story of this single squadron, for in the background is the whole tragic panorama of the Philippine Campaign - the hopelessness and the flaming courage around America's little Dunkirk. W.L. White interviewed four of the survivors of Squadron 3 - John D. Bulkeley (Medal of Honor winner), Robert Kelly, Akers, and Cox - names already known throughout the nation - and wove their fighting accounts into a memorable and moving pattern. He caught the very accents of their experience. It is plain talk, which becomes gallant talk for all that it does not say as well as for what is said. They Were Expendable is a document to stir all of us - a brave and grim story to put against all complacency.
