The Trails War formed a major part of the so-called 'secret war' in South East Asia, yet for complex political reasons, including the involvement of the CIA, it received far less coverage than campaigns like Rolling Thunder and Linebacker. Nevertheless, the campaign had a profound effect on the outcome of the war and on its perception in the USA. In the north, the Barrel Roll campaign was often operated by daring pilots flying obsolete aircraft, as in the early years, US forces were still flying antiquated piston-engined T-28 and A-26A aircraft. The campaign gave rise to countless heroic deeds by pilots like the Raven forward air controllers, operating from primitive airstrips in close contact with fierce enemy forces. USAF rescue services carried out extremely hazardous missions to recover aircrew who would otherwise have been swiftly executed by Pathet Lao forces, and reconnaissance pilots routinely risked their lives in solo, low-level mission over hostile territory. Furthe...

Finally the Gospel that everyone's been waiting for in which Jesus gets chance to put the record straight and show how the story of life has been manipulated over time by politicians and religious zealots. This is the book that Gandy and Freke believe Jesus would have wanted to have written.

They consider it their best work to date and hope that it will prompt debate, discussion and promote a movement aiming to counteract religious division. Product details Format Hardback ...

Auf seinen Reisen um die Welt begegnet Florian Wagner immer wieder demselben historischen Phänomen: der kulturellen Prägung des Menschen durch das Pferd. Fragt man einen Araber nach seinem größten Schatz, so ist das sein Falke, sein Kamel oder sein Pferd. Den Indianern Amerikas wurde alles genommen, Kultur, Land, Identität. Die Pferde hat man ihnen gelassen. Heute pflegen sie die Traditionen des Muts und der Reitkunst, wenn sie beim Omak Suicide Race die Abhänge herunterrasen. Die Nomaden in der Mongolei leben mit ihren drahtigen Ponys, auf denen sie in den unendlichen Weiten ihrer Heimat die Adler zum Jagen tragen. In den USA erweist sich ein riskantes Projekt als soziale Sensation: Mörder, Kinderschänder und Drogendealer müssen zur Resozialisierung auf einer Ranch wilde Mustangs einreiten, die vorher mit Hubschraubern gefangen werden. Nicht selten weinen diese Männer, wenn sie "ihre" Pferde nach Abschluss des Programms abgeben müssen, weil sie zum ersten Mal in ihrem von Ge...

Verlaine was always only a human being, a weak human being, who did not even know how "to count the transgressions of his own heart." It was this very lack of individuality, however, which produced something much rarer-the purely and entirely human. Verlaine was soft clay without the power of producing impresses and without resistance. Thus every line of life crossing his destiny has left a pure relief, a clear and faithful reproduction, even to the fragrance-like sorrows of lonely seconds which in others fade away or thicken into dull grief. The tangled forces which tempestuously shook his life and tore it to tatters crystallized in his work and were distilled into essences. Product details Format Paperback | 48 pages ...
