General Patton has nothing on Scarlet Holmes. She's beautiful, savvy, and smart, and if anyone can take down the Nazi's single-handedly, it's her.
BRAND NEW STORY! Let’s be honest, more Moose is always a good thing. Especially if we’re talking about Mini-Moose, the first appearance of the brand-new canine companion to Riverdale’s favorite jock. What could go wrong?

Here is an oral history of the Vietnam War by thirty-three American soldiers who fought it. A 1983 American Book Award nominee.
In today's information era, the use of specific words and language can serve as powerful tools that incite violence—or sanitize and conceal the ugliness of war. This book examines the complex, "twisted" language of conflict. Why is the term "collateral damage" used when military strikes kill civilians? What is a "catastrophic success"? What is the difference between a privileged and unprivileged enemy belligerent? How does deterrence differ from detente? What does "hybrid warfare" mean, and how is it different from "asymmetric warfare"? How is shell shock different from battle fatigue and PTSD? These are only a few of the questions that Talking Conflict: The Loaded Language of Genocide, Political Violence, Terrorism, and Warfare answers in its exploration of euphemisms, "warspeak," "doublespeak," and propagandistic terms. This handbook of alphabetically listed entries is prefaced by an introductory overview that provides background information about how language is used to obfuscate or minimize descriptions of armed conflict or genocide and presents examples of the major rhetorical devices used in this subject matter. The book focuses on the "loaded" language of conflict, with many of the entries demonstrating the function of given terms as euphemisms, propaganda, or circumlocutions. Each entry is accompanied by a list of cross references and "Further Reading" suggestions that point readers to pertinent sources for further research. This book is ideal for students—especially those studying political science, international relations, and genocide—as well as general readers.
In this groundbreaking book, Gibson shatters the misled assumptions for America's failure in Vietnam, showing how American officials developed a disturbingly limited concept of war--what he calls "technowar"--in which all efforts were focused on maximizing the enemy's body count, regardless of the means.
Here is the extraordinary story of a veteran of 26 years of combat with the Navy's most elite special force--the legendary SEALs--including five tours of Vietnam (one in the top-secret PHOENIX program). Walsh's exploits stand alone as the pinnacle of daring and sacrifice in the history of the SEALs.
"Most Vietnam veterans do not like to talk about their experiences while in that war zone... But Samuel Richardson tells all in this book. Here, Sam doesn't merely depend on his memory of his stories; he uses text straight out of the meticulous journal he kept while in Vietnam... Before going to Vietnam, his father gave him a "father's blessing." This, in the LDS Church, is a typical ceremony aimed at comforting the recipient, and asking God for a variety of blessings for the person receiving the blessing... The narration inside will show how the father's blessing helped Sam to be calm during mortar attacks, and how to resist the many temptations that come to soldiers who find themselves in a war zone."--Back cover.
