| The Weekend Warriors |
The Weekend Warriors is NOT a "How to Play Paintball" book. It’s just a chronicle of one man’s paintball war stories. There have been incredible changes in the sport and the players over the years. Stories range from the early days of single-shot breach loading pistols to today’s digitally enhanced full-auto marvels of technology. There’s a lot to be learned from listening to the tales of how it was back in the old days, and new paintballers might just be able to learn from someone else’s mistakes! |

| SOG: A Photo History of the Secret Wars |
Hardcover: 496 pages ; Dimensions (in inches): 1.32 x 11.34 x 8.88 Publisher: Paladin Press; ISBN: 1581600585; (January 1, 2000) This is the companion photo history to SOG: The Secret Wars of American's Commandos in Vietnam. In 1972 the U.S. military took steps to ensure that such a book could never be printed by destroying all the known photos that existed of the top-secret Studies and Observations Group. But unknown to those in charge, SOG veterans brought back with them hundreds of photographs of SOG in action and kept them secret for more than three decades. More than 700 irreplaceable photos bring to life the stories of SOG legends Larry Thorne, Bob Howard, Dick Meadows, George Sisler, "Q" and others, and documents what really happened deep inside enemy territory: Operation Tailwind, the Son Tay raid, SOG's defense of Khe Sanh, Hatchet Force operations, Bright Light rescues, HALO insertions, string extractions, SOG's darkest programs and much more. A lot of good reviews. |
| The Art of War |
Paperback: 197 pages ; Dimensions (in inches): 0.47 x 8.02 x 5.35 The Art of War is the Swiss army knife of military theory--pop out a different tool for any situation. Folded into this small package are compact views on resourcefulness, momentum, cunning, the profit motive, flexibility, integrity, secrecy, speed, positioning, surprise, deception, manipulation, responsibility, and practicality. Thomas Cleary's translation keeps the package tight, with crisp language and short sections. Commentaries from the Chinese tradition trail Sun-tzu's words, elaborating and picking up on puzzling lines. Take the solitary passage: "Do not eat food for their soldiers." Elsewhere, Sun-tzu has told us to plunder the enemy's stores, but now we're not supposed to eat the food? The Tang dynasty commentator Du Mu solves the puzzle nicely, "If the enemy suddenly abandons their food supplies, they should be tested first before eating, lest they be poisoned." Most passages, however, are the pinnacle of succinct clarity: "Lure them in with the prospect of gain, take them by confusion" or "Invincibility is in oneself, vulnerability is in the opponent." Sun-tzu's maxims are widely applicable beyond the military because they speak directly to the exigencies of survival. Your new tools will serve you well, but don't flaunt them. Remember Sun-tzu's advice: "Though effective, appear to be ineffective." -- Sun Tzu's 2,500-year-old treatise on military strategy has received new life; martial artists, spiritual seekers, and Western business leaders alike now look to this Chinese philosopher-general for guidance. This version supplements the original's proverbial advice with commentary and quotations from recent military leaders, such as Colin Powell, to provide a contemporary context for Sun Tzu's ideas. The result is still oblique, as the multiple references to things like categories of terrain and. |
| To End All Wars |
Paperback: 400 pages ; Dimensions (in inches): 1.08 x 9.19 x 6.11 Publisher: Princeton Univ Pr; ISBN: 0691001502; Reprint edition (May 26, 1995) Book Description In his widely acclaimed To End All Wars, Thomas Knock provides an intriguing, often provocative narrative of Woodrow Wilson's epic quest for a new world order. The account follows Wilson's thought and diplomacy from his policy toward revolutionary Mexico, through his dramatic call for "Peace without Victory" in World War I, to the Senate's rejection of the League of Nations. Throughout Knock explores the place of internationalism in American politics, sweeping away the old view that isolationism was the cause of Wilson's failure and revealing the role of competing visions of internationalism-conservative and progressive.

| WWII Aircraft Volume II |
Mass Market Paperback: 48 pages Soft cover 48 pages 100+ full color photographs Publisher: Verlinden Productions, Inc.; ISBN: 1930607415; (January 1, 1999) Following on the heals of the highly successful volume I in this new series, this edition continues the Verlinden legacy of beautifully photographed, incredibly detailed scale models displayed in attractive diorama settings. Again divided into six separate sections, the subjects in this book include three made by the professional staff at Verlinden Studios: a 1:48 scale German twin-engined Messerschmitt Bf 110G-4 nightfighter updated with highly detailed Verlinden Productions resin and photo-etched metal detail parts, a 1:48 scale Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress displayed after having been shot down over Europe, complete with very realistic flak and bullet holes, and finally, a pair of the revolutionary German Me-262 jet fighters, one a single-seat jet bomber, and the other a rare two-seat nightfighter. These two are again highly detailed with Verlinden Productions resin and photo-etched parts, and share a diorama base depicting a routine day on a Luftwaffe airbase, complete w! ith spare parts and maintenance equipment. Two models from Gordon Stronach, a highly skilled professional modeler from the Verlinden staff, are featured including a pair of exquisitely detailed 1:48 German JU-87 Stuka dive bombers undergoing engine changes in a North African setting, and a beautifully detailed and weathered1:48 Grumman F6F-5 Hellcat of the U.S. Navy undergouing routine maintenance on the deck of an aircraft carrier. Another accomplished modeler, Noel Lawson, is credited with a beautifully detailed and painted 1:32 scale SBD-5 Dauntless dive bomber of the U.S.Navy. Each article is supplemented with informative, step-by-step descriptions and photographs to show the reader how such beautiful results were achieved. A must for any serious scale modeler, as well as aviation enthusiasts and WWII buffs. |
