Paperback. Condición: 2012. A very good copy. In cold, murky water, working by touch alone, they can defuse a mine powerful enough to sink a battleship. Under the burning Afghan sun, they can dismantle a Taliban roadside bomb. Welcome to the world of the Royal Australian Navy clearance divers. Bomb and mine disposal is but one of their roles. As covert swimmers they can infiltrate enemy waters. As boarding parties they are on the anti-piracy frontline. As counterterrorist special forces they are on call 24/7. They are simply one of the best diving units in the military world. Their story goes back to the Second World War, when Hitler's secret weapon - the magnetic mine - had Britain on her knees. Four extraordinary Aussies were among the brave naval volunteers who tackled Nazi mines on land and under water. The men who followed their path share the same brand of courage. From the rivers of Vietnam to the deserts of Afghanistan, Navy Divers have excelled under the most dire pressure, yet we know very little of their heroic deeds. Their incredible story has remained behind closed doors. Until now.…

Paperback. 7-Sep. Afghanistan has become the world's largest producer of opium and its offshoot, heroin - all under the noses of Western civil and military stakeholders. At the nexus of the War on Terror and the War on Drugs, truth is as elusive and fragile as the new democracy itself, now on the brink of being consumed by an expanding mire of chaos. Stranger in a strange land, Gregor Salmon entered the war-torn country alone and spent eight months investigating Afghanistan's dependence on poppy. Who depends on poppy profits? And who pays the ultimate cost? Along the way he encountered Afghans whose lives were intimately tied to the trade: farmers, harvesters, eradicators, smugglers, police, doctors, addicts, warlords, gunrunners, politicians - even a pop-song loving Taliban commander. The result is a tense, fascinating and deeply moving journey along the narcotics trail, and a story about keeping your sanity in a senseless world. 2009, First edition, first printing. A trade paperback copy in very good condition.…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Paul Briggs's candid autobiography describes his troubled childhood and teens; his years of railing against both his fighting opponents and the demons ranged against him; and his rise to the top of the WBC light heavyweight rankings. Paul 'Hurricane' Briggs - from a family of Kiwi fighters - moved to Australia early in his life. By his teens, Paul was already set to become kickboxing world champion. But Briggs gave kickboxing away. He made a name for himself as a Brisbane DJ and developed an appetite for ecstasy and cocaine. He slipped into crime. Self-loathing took him to the brink of suicide, until fate intervened . With the help of American-Indian spiritual healing, he scraped his soul bare and began replenishing it with something he had regarded as a fatuous notion - love. First towards himself, then towards the new woman in his life, who would become his wife and mother to his children. Briggs turned to boxing and spent four years working his way to the top of the WBC rankings. the transformation of Paul Briggs may not end with him alone. In some capacity, he will inspire change in others, and perhaps the sport of boxing itself. Describes the author's troubled childhood and teens; his years of railing against both his fighting opponents and the demons ranged against him; and his rise to the top of the WBC light heavyweight rankings.
