Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Jack Brubaker, veteran sailor and private investigator, becomes embroiled in a gruesome Marin County murder case while searching for his missing sister. In his hunt for the murderer, the world weary Brubaker teams up with homicide detective Ellen Jacobs and is aided by a collection of local eccentrics in the San Francisco Bay town of Sausalito. Hired by the victim’s wife, Jack himself becomes the focus of the police investigation as he delves into the murky side of Marin County, complete with trailer parks, meth houses, and Cult compounds. During Jack’s investigation he is forced to revisit the sailing death of his father, while coming to terms with his failed relationship with his sister Lucy.

The 2008 Battle of Sadr City

Reimagining Urban Combat

By: David E. Johnson,M. Wade Markel,Brian Shannon

In 2008, U.S. and Iraqi forces defeated an uprising in Sadr City, a district of Baghdad with ~2.4 million residents. Coalition forces’ success in this battle helped consolidate the Government of Iraq’s authority, contributing significantly to the attainment of contemporary U.S. operational objectives in Iraq. U.S. forces’ conduct of the battle illustrates a new paradigm for urban combat and indicates capabilities the Army will need in the future.

Mean Eileen

By: M. Wade Backman

Determined reader beware, for these luxurious characters and their confounding antics are not for the faint of heart or morally upright. This is the incredible “true” story of a lovelorn white shark, the devil, an impossibly perfect woman, and a billionaire President of the United States---- who seriously suspects he may be God Almighty. To make matters worse, the commander-in-chief, is also worried that he may have inadvertently forfeited his immortal soul to the dark side, before he suddenly comes to realize that his harrowing predicament is even worse than that. He is dying. Zombies and reincarnation seem to be lurking around every sharp-corner in this hellish twister fraught with gratuitous violence, sex, drugs, golf, and of course championship bowling that will permanently warp even the strongest psyche past page one. Fight Club meets Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, sandwiching a disturbed weirdness unseen since the original black and white Twilight Zone TV series.

The Evolution of U.S. Military Policy from the Constitution to the Present, Volume IV

The Total Force Policy Era, 1970–2015

By: M Wade Markel,Alexandra Evans,Miranda Priebe,Adam Givens,Jameson Karns,Gian Gentile

Tracing the evolution of the U.S. Army throughout American history, the authors of this four-volume series show that there is no such thing as a “traditional” U.S. military policy. Rather, the laws that authorize, empower, and govern the U.S. armed forces emerged from long-standing debates and a series of legislative compromises between 1903 and 1940. Volume IV traces how Total Force Policy has been implemented since 1970.

The Air Force Operations and Planning SMARTbook

Leader's Guide to Planning and Conducting Airpower Operations

By: Norman M. Wade

The role of the Air Force is to defend the US and protect its interests through airpower, guided by the principles of joint operations and the tenets of airpower. Airpower is the ability to project military power or infl uence through the control and exploitation of air, space, and cyberspace to achieve strategic, operational, or tactical objectives. Airpower exploits the third dimension of the operational environment, the electromagnetic spectrum, and time to leverage speed, range, flexibility, precision tempo, and lethality to create effects from and within the air, space, and cyberspace domains. From this multi-dimensional perspective, Airmen can apply military power against an enemy`s entire array of diplomatic, informational, military, and economic instruments of power, at long ranges and on short notice. The Air Force Operations & Planning SMARTbook covers the fundamentals, principles and tenets of airpower; airpower operations (Air Force missions, roles & functions); command and control (AOC, AFFOR & JFACC); planning for operations (AFOPE, JOPPA, joint air tasking cycle, OODA); targeting and assessment; and agile combat support (ACS)! *** Find the latest edition of this book and the rest of our series of military reference SMARTbooks at the publishers website: www.TheLightningPress.com ***

The Joint Forces Operations and Doctrine SMARTbook, 3rd Rev. Ed

Guide to Joint, Multinational and Interagency Operations

By: Norman M. Wade

This is the Third Revised Edition of The Joint Forces Operations & Doctrine SMARTbook. Military operations vary in scope, purpose, and conflict intensity across a range that extends from military engagement, security cooperation, and deterrence activities to crisis response and limited contingency operations and, if necessary, to major operations and campaigns. Joint operation planning consists of planning activities associated with joint military operations by combatant commanders and their subordinate joint force commanders in response to contingencies and crises. Achieving national strategic objectives requires effective unified action resulting in unity of effort ¿ to include interagency, intergovernmental, nongovernmental and multinational partners. This is accomplished by collaboration, synchronization, and coordination in the use of the diplomatic, informational, military, and economic instruments of national power. *** Find the latest edition of this book and the rest of our series of military reference SMARTbooks at the publishers website: www.TheLightningPress.com ***
