Captain Robinson
In March 1904, at the age of 80, Captain James William Robinson - at the 'earnest request' of his family - began to write down 'some particulars of my early life and occupation and voyages to see'. Perhaps to his own surprise, Captain Robinson not only completed the memoir but revised it with a view to publication. Although noting came of this at the time, his manuscript survives and Robinson's 'tough account of a rough life' is now presented to the public for the first time, with comprehensive notes based largely on the surviving ships' logs and journals from his voyages. Robinson first went to sea as a ship's boy at the age of eleven. He saw his first whale killed shortly before his thirte...
Masters of Chaos
Special Forces soldiers are daring, seasoned troops from America's heartland, selected in a tough competition and trained in an extraordinary range of skills. They know foreign languages and cultures and unconventional warfare better than any U.S. fighters, and while they prefer to stay out of the limelight, veteran war correspondent Linda Robinson gained access to their closed world.

Summary of Linda Robinson's Masters of Chaos
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

The Special Forces were proud of their make-do philosophy, but they were also the unloved stepchild at Fort Campbell. #4 The team went to see the battalion commander, Colonel Conner, to get advice on how to prepare for their mission. They had read the after-action reports of the Gulf War, but nothing could prepare them better than the firsthand ground truth of one who had been there.
