AN UNCONSCIONABLE TRAGEDY. AN AVENGING CRIMINAL MOGUL THE ULTIMATE GAME OF SEEK AND DESTROY > Rayna and the Fidelitas team head to China to punish the corrupt businessmen who pocketed huge illicit fortunes by building schools with substandard materials and unskilled labor.

By early 1951, American forces and their UN allies had been driven more than 100 miles down the Korean peninsula by the Chinese. The situation was bleak when Gen. Matthew Ridgway ordered a last stand at the village of Chipyong-ni. There a single regiment (the 23rd Infantry) of fewer than 5,000 U.S. soldiers defeated a Chinese division of 25,000 men in what has been called the Gettysburg of the Korean War.

Back in 1979 something odd happened in the southern sub-Antarctic Indian Ocean. On September 22nd, one of the orbiting US Vela Hotel spy satellites registered a double flash indicating that an atomic bomb had detonated close to the Prince Edward Island Group, 1,176 nautical miles south of Cape Town, belonging to South Africa. The hunt was on for the South African nuclear weapons rumoured to be in existence and being tested there. In March 2010, one of the orbiting South African spy satellites picked up a flash report coming from a Sound Surveillance System (SOSUS) line of unknown origin in ...

Possibly the foremost classic of military strategy. The Art of War was written by Sun Tzu (Sunzi, Sun Wu), a quasi-legendary figure. The work dates from the 6th to the 3rd century BCE. It is known worldwide as required reading for students of political and military science and history. Most editions of this work include a great amount of commentary from various editors, making the work more difficult to understand. We have dispensed with that here, and only include the core treatise in straightforward, modern prose.

A sitting U. S. Senator secretly plunders strategic oil reserves. The government whistle blower is brutally murdered. A reluctant hero who is... the weapon of justice. Billions worth of U. S. strategic oil reserves are secretly plundered from the American stock-pile and the Federal whistle-blower disappears without a trace, the day before he can testify. The Sikorsky nine passenger helicopter simply vanishes while traveling from Phoenix, Arizona to the Federal Court in San Diego, California. This key Congressional witness is a Chinese American billionaire and best friend of the Chinese ...

“US defense capabilities are and will remain second to none, and now because of the new defense budget of $700 billion our military will be far stronger than ever.” White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders, 2 March 2018.“America has the best equipment anywhere in the world.” Donald J Trump, 13 August 2018.The Reality: “I’ll never forgive Barack Obama for what he did to our United States military by not funding it properly. It was depleted. It was old and tired, and I came in and I had to fix it, and I’m in the process of spending tremendous amounts of money, so I’ll ...

"The Art of War" by Sun Tzu is a monumental work in the field of military strategy that has had a profound impact on future generations. It stands as the pinnacle of military literature worldwide.

Code Name Oath 19 is mainly about Special Forces diving and more specifically, “technical diving”. This is where you must decompress before coming to the surface again, usually, depending on physical fitness levels, when you are deeper than 130 feet. This is not the same as Special Forces attack diving where rebreathers are used (they don’t give out bubbles and can be used for many hours at a time). The attack divers are never deep enough to need to decompress. This is the traditional method used when sabotaging something underwater, a Special Forces speciality, like a ship or barge (...

China’s President faces many problems. Some, like conflict at the Indian border and in the South China Sea he created for himself. Others, like pending disasters at the Three Gorges Dam and China’s oldest nuclear plant, just happened. But the biggest threat to Communist rule is revolutionaries with Internet access through American satellites. Access that lets them spread propaganda, organize free of government surveillance, and launch cyberattacks. Four deniable Russian agents will travel to America to stop that threat.

China-Burma-India is one of the most forgotten theaters of World War 2. As the United States entered the war after Pearl Harbor, it looked to China as a source of manpower as well as a base for bombers and a way to eventually invade Japan. The Japanese, British, Americans, and Chinese each had their own motivations and policies in the Pacific that would ultimately lead to the involvement of Burma in the Pacific War. The conflict in Burma was an intricate affair that may be best understood through the story of the first Yunnan Expedition into Burma.

Code Name Unbutton exposes an operation where Chinese Intelligence has captured a US Navy drone ship. This is a new idea in warfare, to have small unmanned vessels, sailing around and acting as the eyes and ears of the manned navy by listening in with passive sonar to track submarines. Nuclear attack boats are not defensive weapons that are hanging around your own coasts. No, like aircraft carriers, they take the war to foreign shores, not for self-defence but in order to be able to strike first. The US Navy’s ability to hunt submarines is outdated. An older Russian Akula class nuclear ...

The Korean War is often labeled “the forgotten war”, and though it has received renewed attention in recent years, it still pales compared to others in recent history like the Vietnam War or even the more recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. What’s mostly overlooked is that the Korean War was one of the most intense conflicts the United States fought, and the soldiers who served in it were arguably in greater peril than in any other war over the last 75 years.

In the early morning of 20th April 1949, HMS Amethyst was fulfilling orders to travel to Nanking to stand guard for the British Embassy during the height of the Chinese Civil War when she was fired upon by guns from the riverbank. Shells pounded into the ship, killing the commanding officer and destroyed the bridge before the ship grounded on the bank. How did the Amethyst escape the battering of Chinese Communist guns?

If the Chinese people were to file one by one past a given point, the interesting procession would never come to an end. Before the last man of those living to-day had gone by, another and a new generation would have grown up, and so on for ever and ever. The importance, as a factor in the sum of human affairs, of this vast nation, - of its language, of its literature, of its religions, of its history, of its manners and customs, - goes therefore without saying. Yet a serious attention to China and her affairs is of very recent growth.
