Index, bibliography, ill, maps, p.625.non-fictionIn the wake of the September 11th horror, nothing could be timelier than this exploration of world terrorism and the forces that fight it--armies and missions often shrouded in mystery. A foremost expert on guerrilla warfare presents, for the first time, a comprehensive investigation of covert military operations from Vietnam to Afghanistan. Among the revelations: that the CIA handed out shoulder-fired antiaircraft missiles "like lollipops" to Osama bin Laden and other mujahadeen leaders, weapons they may now turn against us how British SAS operated inside Afghanistan against the Russians and used "former special forces" personnel for clandestine missions why secret militia and locally recruited fighters successfully defeated guerrillas and terrorists in Oman, Malaya, and Borneo, but could not in Indochina and Algeria and how "fighting dirty" sometimes meant helping drug dealers in exchange for their support. Most relevant is the detailed analysis of why Russia failed to conquer Afghanistan, what we can learn from their experience, and the perils awaiting any invader. special forces - operations - 20th century, special forces - operations - 20th century

Ill, p.309.non-fictionAs the Second World War came to an end in 1945, the hopes of a lasting world peace were soon dashed as defeated Fascist governments were quickly replaced by the rise of Communist aggression and the heralding in of a Cold War that threatened a third world war and the use of nuclear weapons. In the sixteen townships and suburbs that made up the former Shire of Lillydale, these turbulent times had an effect on the lives of its residents. Whether they debated and argued locally over communism in the pubs, the halls or the local newspaper or whether they put on a uniform and sought to suppress it or fight it on battlefields, in the air space or on the sea lanes throughout Asia. Using the words of the men and women from that area who lived through it, this book reveals how our nation’s fight against communism between 1945 and 1970 effected this district in many ways, and the role that those from the district played as a result. shire of lilydale - history, veterans - victoria - yarra valley - biography
