Gliders of World War II: ‘The Bastards No One Wanted’
This study examines the role of combat gliders in Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States during World War II (WWII). This thesis compares and contrasts each country with respect to pre-WWII glider experience, glider and airborne doctrine, glider pilot training, and glider production while outlining each country’s major glider operations. The author then compares the glider operations in the China-Burma-India Theater to the operations in Europe to describe the unique challenges based on the terrain and mission. Next, this thesis presents an analysis of the glider’s precipitous decline following WWII. The study concludes with recommendations for glider operations in the future based on the experiences of the past.

Unconventional Warfare (Special Forces, Book 1)
"All the sizzle, chaos, noise and scariness of war is clay in the hands of ace storyteller Lynch." -- Kirkus Reviews for the World War II series Discover the secret missions behind America's greatest conflicts.Danny Manion has been fighting his entire life. Sometimes with his fists. Sometimes with his words. But when his actions finally land him in real trouble, he can't fight the judge who offers him a choice: jail... or the army.Turns out there's a perfect place for him in the US military: the Studies and Observation Group (SOG), an elite volunteer-only task force comprised of US Air Force Commandos, Army Green Berets, Navy SEALS, and even a CIA agent or two. With the SOG's focus on covert action and psychological warfare, Danny is guaranteed an unusual tour of duty, and a hugely dangerous one. Fortunately, the very same qualities that got him in trouble at home make him a natural-born commando in a secret war. Even if almost nobody knows he's there.National Book Award finalist Chris Lynch begins a new, explosive fiction series based on the real-life, top-secret history of US black ops.
Perdidos em Shangri-la
Em 13 de maio de 1945, vinte e quatro soldados americanos embarcaram em um avião cargueiro para um passeio sobrevoando Shangri-La, um lindo e misterioso vale no coração das selvas montanhosas da Nova Guiné Holandesa. Quando o avião caiu, milagrosamente, três passageiros conseguiram escapar: Margaret Hastings, John McCollom e Kenneth Decker. Sua única chance era enfrentar uma angustiante descida pela encosta da montanha, em uma jornada que os levaria direto ao território de uma supersticiosa tribo, a qual jamais tivera contato com a civilização.
