Synopsis

Stealth Techniques explores the fascinating world of covert operations, examining both the real-world methodologies used by spies and military personnel throughout history and their captivating portrayal in Japanese manga. Delving into the evolution of camouflage, concealment, and infiltration, the book reveals how these tactics have been crucial in military history and espionage.

 
Interestingly, stealth techniques aren't just about physical concealment; they also involve manipulating perception and understanding the psychology of observation, skills vital in both warfare and espionage.

 
The book uniquely bridges the gap between factual military history and fictional storytelling, analyzing how manga artists utilize visual cues and narrative structures to depict stealth operations. It progresses from the fundamental concepts of stealth, drawn from historical military manuals and intelligence agency training programs, to the representation of these concepts in manga, and finally synthesizes these two perspectives to explore the cultural impact of stealth.

 
By examining specific manga titles and artistic techniques, Stealth Techniques demonstrates how visual storytelling amplifies the allure and mystique of espionage, deception, and covert action.

Family Declassified - Uncovering...

Katherine Fennelly

Uncovering My Grandfather's Journey from Spy to Children's Book Author — 
Why do people keep deep secrets about their lives and ancestry? In Family Declassified, Katherine Fennelly applies her expertise as a social science researcher to answer this question regarding her maternal grandfather, a Jewish Hungarian immigrant who arrived in the US one hundred years ago. A Google search for ‘Francis Kalnay’ yields more than 54,000 results—the vast majority related to the children’s book, Chucaro: Wild Pony of the Pampa, for which he won a Newbery Honor in 1959. Buried deep within the search results are a few references to his years at the Office of Strategic Services (OSS)—the precursor to the CIA. However, none describes how a foreign-born sailor overcame a childhood marked by tragedy and became the head of an elite espionage unit for the Allied Forces during World War II. At the OSS Kalnay was one of the few foreign-born Americans informed and ‘indoctrinated’ in what we now know as the ULTRA decrypts, the German Enigma messages that were used to capture or thwart almost all German offensive intelligence activity during the Second World War. 
It took several years of reviewing previously unexamined government records and conducting personal interviews and genealogical searches to piece together the life of a man who hid his Jewish identity, the nature of his work as a spy, and the murder of his sister and nephew by Hungarian Nazis. The result is a manuscript that examines the nature of family myths and presents the gripping story of a man whose life was shaped by some of the most extraordinary events of the 20th century.

Ancient Mesopotamia: An...

Enthralling History

How much do you know about the “cradle of civilization?” Come explore the legacy of the brilliant ancient Mesopotamians who transformed the world.
Ancient Mesopotamia’s legacy was truly revolutionary. Childlike pictures scratched into wet clay evolved into the first written language. The Mesopotamians wrote the first epic poems, the first hymns, the first histories, and the first law codes. They developed the first wheel for transportation; simple carts that hauled bricks or produce morphed into chariots racing along at thirty-five miles per hour.
They gazed at the sky and mapped it, observing the planets’ retrograde motions and predicting lunar and solar eclipses. They developed the concept of time, measurements, basic counting, higher math, and hydraulic engineering.
Mesopotamia gave birth to the world’s first great empires—the Akkadians, Assyrians, Babylonians, and Achaemenids—which stretched over three continents.
A glimpse at the questions this overview unpacks includes:How old is the world’s first city?How did the Eridu Genesis compare to Noah and the ark?How fast was the world’s first postal system?How many times did Babylon’s patron god Marduk get stolen?How did Hammurabi’s law code compare to the Law of Moses?Who calculated pi (π) to the value of 3.125 and understood the Pythagorean theorem twelve centuries before Pythagoras was born?Did Xerxes really have a million men in his army?Which empire encompassed 44 percent of the world’s population?What eunuch poisoned most of the Persian royal family?And much, much more!
