No brutality was spared in trying to squeeze intelligence from Zarqawi's suspected associates. But these "force on force" techniques yielded exactly nothing, and, in the wake of the Abu Ghraib scandal, the military rushed a new breed of interrogator to Iraq. Matthew Alexander, a former criminal investigator and head of a handpicked interrogation team, gives us the first inside look at the U.S. military's attempt at more civilized interrogation techniques ~ and their astounding success. The intelligence coup that enabled the June 7,2006, air strike on Zarqawi's rural safe house was the result of several keenly strategized interrogations, none of which involved torture or even "control" tactics. Matthew and his team decided instead to get to know their opponents. Who were these monsters? Who were they working for? What were they trying to protect? Every day the" 'gators" matched wits with a rogues' gallery of suspects brought in by Special Forces ("door kickers"): egomaniacs, bloodthirsty adolescents, opportunistic stereo repairmen, Sunni clerics horrified by the sectarian bloodbath, Al Qaeda fanatics, and good people in the wrong place at the wrong time. With most prisoners, negotiation was possible and psychological manipulation stunningly effective. But Matthew's commitment to cracking the case with these methods sometimes isolated his superiors and put his own career at risk. This account is an unputdownable thriller~more of a psychological suspense story than a war memoir. And indeed, the story reaches far past the current conflict in Iraq with a reminder that we don't have to become our enemy to defeat him. Matthew Alexander and his ilk, subtle enough and flexible enough to adapt to the challenges of modern, asymmetrical warfare, have proved to be our best weapons against terrorists all over the world.

Hardcover. Condición: Near Fine condition. Fine dust jacket. First Printing of the First Edition. William Morrow, 2013. SIGNED by Jason Redman with a full page (14 lines) inscription in black sharpie on the half title page. Near Fine condition in a Fine dust jacket. NOT price clipped ($26.99). The jacket is bright and shiny with… NO chips, tears, creases, rubbing or fading. Pages are clean and unmarked. 2013. First printing with "First Edition" so stated and complete number row (10 987654321) on the copyright page. From the Foreword by former U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates: "This story, though, is not just about a SEAL on the Iraqi battlefield, but a SEAL at war with himself and his ultimate victory. I believe his story will inspire the reader, just as it did me." With 16 pages of photos on glossy stock. From the publisher: "Decorated US Navy SEAL lieutenant Jason Redman served his country courageously and with distinction in Colombia, Peru, Afghanistan, and Iraq, where he commanded mobility and assault forces. He conducted over forty capture/kill missions with his men in Iraq, locating more than 120 al-Qaida insurgents. But his journey was not without supreme challenges -- both emotional and physical. Redman is brutally honest about his struggles to learn how to be an effective leader, yet that effort pales beside the story of his critical wounding in 2007 while leading a mission against a key al-Qaida commander. On that mission his team was ambushed and he was struck by machine-gun fire at point-blank range. During the intense recovery period that followed, Redman gained national attention when he posted a sign on his door at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, warning all who entered not to 'feel sorry for [his] wounds.' His sign became both a statement and a symbol for wounded warriors everywhere. From his grueling SEAL training to his search for a balance between arrogance and humility, Redman shares it all in this inspiring and unforgettable account. He speaks candidly of the grit that sustained him despite grievous wounds, and of the extraordinary love and devotion of his wife, Erica, and his family, without whom he would not have survived. Vivid and powerful, emotionally resonant and illuminating, The Trident traces the evolution of a modern warrior, husband, and father, a man who has come to embody the never-say-die spirit that defines the SEALs, one of America's elite fighting forces.". INSCRIBED / SIGNED by Jason Redman. First Printing of the First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine condition/Fine dust jacket. Illus. by NOT a library discard. 8vo. xviii, 382pp. +16 pages of photos. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping. NOT a library discard (ilustrador).

Hardcover. Condición: Fine condition. Fine dust jacket. First Edition. St. Paul, Minnesota: Zenith Press, 2005. INSCRIBED / SIGNED by Kenneth C. Ruiz (Captain USN Ret.) directly on the front free endpaper. SIGNED copies are SCARCE. Fine condition in a bright and shiny Fine dust jacket (only a tiny bit of very mild shelfwear to t…he jacket). NO chips, tears, creases or fading. Square and tight. Sharp corners. NOT a library discard. NOT a remainder. Illustrated with several maps and 8 pages of b/w photos. Bound in the original gilt-stamped blue boards. Complete with dust jacket. From the publisher: "A coin flip likely saved the life of Kenneth C. Ruiz. It was August 1942 and he was fresh out of the U.S. Naval Academy. He and a classmate flipped a coin to see who would stand watch on the bridge of their heavy cruiser, the USS Vincennes, off Savo Island as the Marines were landing on Guadalcanal. Ruiz was on the bridge when the ship took a direct hit and sank. He ended up in the Pacific without a life jacket, but his classmate and the entire radio room crew perished in the attack. "The luck of the draw" is a recurring theme in this powerful memoir. Following the demise of the Vincennes, Ruiz volunteered to serve on submarines for the balance of the war and had numerous harrowing experiences. He spent most of his time on the USS Pollack, which was sub-standard in terms of technology, but was still deadly and made a significant impact on Japanese shipping in the far reaches of the Pacific. A worthy addition to the litany of WWII books on submariners, The Luck of the Draw is filled with heartbreaking stories of how the smallest decisions made the difference between life and death for soldiers and sailors in the war.". INSCRIBED / SIGNED by the AUTHOR. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine condition/Fine dust jacket. Illus. by NOT a library discard. 8vo. 304pp. + 8 plates. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping. NOT a library discard (ilustrador).

Hardcover. Condición: Very good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very good. vii, [2], 374 pages. Author's Note. Illustrations. Map. Index. Some pages 'off-white". Sean Parnell is an Army Ranger, combat infantryman with the elite 10th Mountain Division, and veteran of 485 days of fierce fighting along the Afghan-Pakistan border, Capt…ain Sean Parnell's unique leadership skills welded his platoon into one of the most fierce and effective American fighting units in modern military history. Outnumbered and outgunned Sean's "Outlaws" battled furiously in the most rugged terrain on the planetthe towering Hindu Kush Mountains. Eighty-five percent of his platoon received Purple Hearts. Outlaw Platoon killed over 350 enemy fighters in some of the biggest firefights of the Afghan War. He lead his men against Taliban, Haqqanni and Al Qaida fighters. His platoon was attacked by uniformed members of the Pakistani military on the Afghanistan side of the border. In January, 2007, a Pakistani frontier corps force joined an Al Qaida-led mass assault on Sean's platoon. The battle created an incident and led directly to a confrontation between U.S. State Department officials and the Pakistan government. Sean was wounded in action on June 10, 2006 when his platoon was nearly overrun by a force that outnumbered them almost ten to one. Sean repeatedly returned to his feet to lead his men again. His selfless example prompted one of his Soldiers to remark later, "Sean Parnell saved us all." His dedication to his men came at great personal cost: when he returned home following the 06 deployment, his wounds forced him from the Army and he was medically discharged. A riveting story of American fighting men, Outlaw Platoon is Lieutenant Sean Parnell's stunning personal account of the legendary U.S. Army's 10th Mountain Division's heroic stand in the mountains of Afghanistan. Acclaimed for its vivid, poignant, and honest recreation of sixteen brutal months of nearly continuous battle in the deadly Hindu Kesh, Outlaw Platoon is a Band of Brothers or We Were Soldiers Once and Young for the early 21st centuryan action-packed, highly emotional true story of enormous sacrifice and bravery. A magnificent account of heroes, renegades, infidels, and brothers, it stands with Sebastian Junger's War as one of the most important books to yet emerge from the heat, smoke, and fire of America's War in Afghanistan. Since leaving the Army, Sean is a regular contributor on Fox News and has appeared on dozens of national TV and radio shows, including CNN's Up Front with Erin Burnett, MSNBC's Dylan Ratigan Show, PBS's Tavis Smiley Show, Fox News Live, Fox and Friends, The Laura Ingraham Show, The Savage Hour with Michael Savage, Rusty Humphries and Fox News Radio's Kilmeade and Friends. Articulate, down to earth and engaging, Sean's leadership abilities have been called the, "gold bar standard of the post-911 Army." He is a subject matter expert on Afghanistan, the insurgency we face there, leadership and how to use it to inspire and motivate men and women to achieve common objectives. First U.S. Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated]. Lum Pennington (Interior map), Max Whittaker (Fron (ilustrador).
