Here, for the first time, is the complete story of the legendary exploits and heroism of the thousands of courageous individuals who fought as spies, guerrillas, propagandists, and saboteurs behind enemy lines. When the Japanese war juggernaut overran the Philippines, it took a near miraculous PT~boat escape for MacArthur to make his way to safety in Australia. He left behind a force of seventy thousand American and Philippine troops marooned on the Bataan Peninsula. To these brave men the general vowed, "I shall return." Against overwhelming odds, MacArthur succeeded. Crucial to his success was his massive covert war effort. MacArthur created his own undercover warfare agency, the super~secret Allied Intelligence Bureau (AIB), to organize the many far~flung resistance groups. They were the coast watchers ~ jungle~wise miners, traders and planters, missionaries, and telegraph operators who occupied remote Pacific islands, living in the most primitive conditions while keeping a constant vigil for Japanese movement. They were American soldiers who escaped the Bataan Peninsula and were commandeering guerrilla armies in the interior mountain and jungle locations of the Philippines. And they were double agents operating right under the noses of the Japanese in Manila, occupying positions close to the Imperial Army and in the collaborationist Philippine government. The phenomenal success of MacArthur's island~hopping "hit~'em~where~they~ain't" campaign was built on the accuracy of the intelligence gathered by the AIB. Early in the conflict, the Americans cracked the secret Japanese naval code and established a chain of intelligence radio~monitoring posts circling the Japanese empire from Alaska to Australia. The information garnered from their interceptions of Japanese transmissions and from operatives on the ground allowed MacArthur to pick soft targets~islands the Japanese had left relatively unguarded~for invasion. It was the steel nerves and unbounded resourcefulness of those who fought the secret war that paved the way for MacArthur's "Great Return" to the Philippines and saved the lives of countless American soldiers. In an action~packed narrative, MacArthur's Undercover War tells of thrilling feats of valor ~ impossible missions to blow up harbors, kidnap heads of state, undermine currency, and arrange prison escapes, all deep within enemy territory. Firsthand interviews with veterans and information from previously unpublished documents reveal a riveting tale ofWorld War II that has never been fully told.…

When five officers of the Nazi SS made the arduous journey to Tibet's forbidden city of Lhasa in the winter of 1938 however the objects of their quest were mysterious, sinister, and, ultimately, deeply malevolent. Under orders from Reichsfuhrer Heinrich Himmler, these scientists were to find proof of a bizarre historical fantasy, lay the groundwork for a global political and military strategy, and pinpoint the origins and remnants of the Aryan "master race." Himmler's Crusade tells the riveting tale of one of the most perverse, eccentric, and frightening scientific expeditions in history. Based on a wide range of previously unused sources, including journals, new interviews, and original research in German archives as well as in Tibet, this real~life drama combines the highest standards of narrative history with the high adventure and exotic locales of Raiders of the Lost Ark. Central to this chilling tale is the complex and problematic character of Ernst Schafer, the expedition's leader. A serious and extremely competent young zoologist, Schafer was so consumed by ambition that he was eager to become Himmler's protege and to do anything his patron commanded in return for opportunity, fame, and influence at the very highest levels of Nazi power. Though they had their own projects to pursue, Schafer's team spent most of its time in Tibet doing Himmler's bidding, which included sowing the seeds of rebellion, undermining Britain's relationship with the Tibetan ruling class, and confirming Himmler's grotesque theories about the origins of the Aryan race. Part spy thriller, part detective yarn, and all real~life adventure, Himmler's Crusade takes you from Himmler's SS stronghold at Wewelsburg Castle, where he inculcated elite SS recruits with the appropriate racial thinking, to the dizzying Himalayan heights, where Schafer and his team examined Tibetan nobles for signs of Aryan ancestry. It asks penetrating questions about the relationship between science and politics and sheds new light on the occult theories that obsessed Himmler and his fellow Nazis. Supplemented with dozens of fascinating photos taken during the expedition, this engagingly told tale provides deep insight into one of the strangest episodes in the tumultuous months just prior to the outbreak of World War II.

Until now, there has never been a single source for the life stories of assassins throughout history: the infamous and the overlooked, the madmen and the zealots, the incompetent and the ruthlessly efficient, those who failed and those who succeeded in their dark tasks. The Book of Assassins is an enlightening and entertaining reference book for true~crime fans, historians, and anyone interested in those who committed~or attempted to commit some of the world's most heinous crimes. We all know the names Lee Harvey Oswald and John Wilkes Booth. But who remembers Max Hödel, considered the least successful assassin in history? What wealthy aristocrat killed Rasputin and lived on until 1967? How many different people attempted to assassinate Hitler~or Queen Victoria? Which modern world leader holds the record for surviving assassins' plots~and who were the plotters? How did Renaissance noblewoman Caterina Sforza attempt to infect a pope with the plague? With answers to these questions and more. The Book of Assassins is packed with interesting trivia and little~known facts, as well as an alphabetical index of victims. In an engaging essay, author George Fetherling explains the five types of assassins~power seekers (Cesare Borgia), mercenaries (Bulgarian hitman Vlada the Chauffeur), ideologues (Gavrilo Princip), celebrity stalkers (Mark David Chapman), and revenge~seekers (Valerie Solanas, who shot Andy Warhol)~that have appeared throughout history.…
