Twelve men, handpicked from the U.S. Special Forces, were sent into the mountains of to battle the Viet Cong for control of a strategic village. The village was home to Montagnard tribesmen, who didn't understand the war, and wanted no part of it. They were the people of the Barking Deer - torn to pieces between their two would-be defenders...the American Eagle and the Viet Cong Tiger. It was a war with too many enemies...and no winners.

Deux histoires s'entrecroisent ici: celle de Gjorg, le jeune montagnard qui vient de venger la mort de son frère et qui attend le châtiment selon les termes du Kanun, et celle d'un jeune couple en voyage de noces, venu dans cette mème région pour étudier les coutumes ancestrales et sanglantes de cette vendetta d'honneur. L'action a beau se situer au début du xxe siècle, la vie sur les hauts plateaux d'Albanie nous enfonce dans le Moyen Age.Le choc est si grand pour la jeune mariée qu'il sera fatal à son bonheur. Et cette expérience tragique va faire basculer son époux, écrivain mondain, dans la vraie réalité. C'est là sans doute la morale de Kadaré quand il apostrophe son héros: « Vos livres, votre art, sentent tous le crime. Au lieu de faire quelque chose pour les malheureux montagnards, vous assistez à la mort, vous cherchez des motifs exaltants, vous recherchez ici de la beauté pour alimenter votre art. Vous ne voyez pas que c'est une beauté qui tue. »

The night before a funeral that will thrust the mountain town of Gainesboro, North Carolina, into the national spotlight, the body is stolen from the embalming room and funeral director Barry Clayton is knocked unconscious. Ouch. How will Clayton & Clayton deal with the relatives of Y'Grok Eban, the Montagnard hero who aided US troops during the Vietnam War, or the U.S. Senator, three-star general, and famous Hollywood star en route to Y'Grok's service?Barry's friend, Sheriff Tommy Lee Wadkins has a very personal interest in the missing Y'Grok--the Montagnard had saved his life. So does the Boston detective who also owes his life to Y'Grok and received a death-bed summons from the cancer-stricken old man: "Raven has come home." The three men pledge to crack Y'Grok's code, recover not just the body but a piece of a long-buried past, and deal with new death and betrayal. Is it a heroic or a foolish undertaking?

This book looks at the multiple relations between the ethnographic representations of the Montagnard ethnic groups in the Central Highlands of Vietnam and the changing historical context in and for which the ethnographies were produced and in which they were consumed. There are two major arguments developed by the author. It is maintained that economic, political, and military interests within a specific historical context condition ethnographic practice. This is not however a one-way process: the author also argues that the ensuing ethnographic discourses in turn influence the historical context by suggesting and facilitating ethnic policies and by contributing to the formation or change of ethnic identities through processes of classification. Oscar Salemink describes ethnographic discourses concerning the indigenous population of Vietnam’s Central Highlands during periods of Christianization, colonization, war, and socialist transformation, and analyzes these in their relation to tribal, ethnic, territorial, governmental, and gendered discourses.

Plus encore que Talleyrand peut-être, Joseph Fouché (1759-1820) demeure la plus grande énigme de cette époque fascinante qu’ont été la Révolution, l’Empire et la Restauration.Tour à tour religieux, girondin, montagnard, « mitrailleur de Lyon », ministre de la police durant le Consulat et l’Empire, président du Conseil après Waterloo, ministre de Louis XVIII, duc d’Otrante : Fouché fascine et répulse.De Balzac à Jean Claude Brisville, de Châteaubriand à Stefan Zweig, Fouché est un personnage pour les romanciers et dramaturges. Sans compter les historiens qui s’interrogent encore sur sa personnalité et ses actes. La « Pieuvre » n’a-t-elle pas passé sa vie à brouiller les pistes et à manipuler les hommes.Pour comprendre cette personnalité trouble et maléfique, Emmanuel de Waresquiel a traqué la vérité dans d’innombrables documents originaux que nul n’avait vus avant lui. De Stockholm à Londres, des archives notariales aux bribes de papiers encore disponibles sur le ministère de la police générale, ce sont des centaines de pièces qui sont dévoilées et interprétées. Historien par excellence de l’Empire et de la Restauration, l’auteur s’emploie avec un exceptionnel talent littéraire, à faire parler tous ces documents et à cerner son personnage. Fruit de huit années de travail, cette étourdissante biographie se lit comme un roman au long cours.

The author has always remembered an incident that occurred during on of the many artillery swing operations. These operations involved two guns in fire support of Special Forces approximately 100 Montagnard positioned along the Cambodian border. The normal artillery battery comprised of six guns positioned in a group to produce overlapping explosive power. However, during these operations, only two guns would be sent out as fire support. The guns and crew along with the Special Forces Cadre would helicoptered out and dropped on a hill (Landing Zone) LZ and remain in place for weeks or months depending upon the situation. The incidences that most haunted the author occurred during the Siege of Special Forces Camp Bu Prang along the Cambodian border. It was these incidents that kept the author always wondering what the meaning of the situation, and how that applied in his life. The culmination to this quest for the meaning happened forty years after the events of that time and inspired the author to write down his experiences and the epiphany about that meaning. The book is a reflection on the author's experiences with the realization that God has always been with him throughout his life.
