Swift Sword - The True Story of...

Doyle Glass

Monday, 4 September 1967 
Marine Lance Corporal Jack Swan crested the face of a bare, rocky knoll in 
the Que Son Valley of South Vietnam. Following Swan were the 164 Marines of 
Mike Company, Third Battalion, Fifth Marines, First Marine Division. Their 
mission was to locate and rescue two understrength and isolated companies 
of felow Marines who were under attack by the North Vietnamese Armv 
The sight of a quiet and serene rice paddy and shrub covered valley greeted 
Swan. Too serene, he thought, as he caught sight of a trembling bush. "I think 
I just saw that bush move!" he shouted. "If it moves again, shoot it!" his squad 
leader commanded he bush moved Swan hired. and the hush went down 
Then hell on earth broke loose. 
Rocket-propelled grenades, AK-47 fire, mortars, and machine guns engulfed 
the exposed Marines. The vaunted 2nd NVA Division, six thousand, five hundred 
men strong and expertly camouflaged, had sprung their well-laid trap. 
Instead of coming to the rescue of their embattled comrades, it was now the 
men of Mike 3/5 who were about to be annihilated. Burdened with a rifle, the 
M16, that would often malfunction, how could they hope to beat back a vastly 
superior foe bent on their destruction? 
Outnumbered, out-gunned, and exposed, would any of the men of Mike 3/5 survive?

The Politically Incorrect Guide...

John Yoo, Robert Delahunty

Guaranteed to give the reader a deeper understanding of America’s most powerful judicial body, John Yoo, professor of law at UC Berkeley, and Robert Delahunty, professor of law at the University of St. Thomas detail in sprightly, slightly irreverent manner how the black robed judges who make up the U.S. Supreme Court have swung like a pendulum from saviors of the Republic to super-legislators who usurp the roll of Congress and dictate law from the bench, back to defenders of the Constitution again—or at least for the moment.
