Summary

Nine Years Among the Indians is an autobiography of Herman Lehmann, who was an eleven-year-old boy when he was captured by a raiding party of eight to ten Apaches alongside his older brother Willie. The Apaches called Lehmann "En Da" (White Boy). He spent about six years with them and became assimilated into their culture, rising to the position of petty chief. As a young warrior, one of his most memorable battles was a running fight with the Texas Rangers on August 24, 1875, which took place near Fort Concho, about 65 miles west of the site of San Angelo, Texas.The phenomenon of a white child raised by Indians made Herman Lehmann a notable figure in the United States.

    Black Hawk Down: The Truth Behind the Fog 
    By Naveed Ali Sheikh 
    An elite U.S. task force descends on the Olympic Hotel to capture top warlords. Within hours, the mission spirals into chaos: two Black Hawk helicopters shot down, American soldiers pinned under relentless fire, and the streets of Somalia ablaze with rage. 
    What the world saw was a tragic tale of courage and loss. 
    What it didn’t see was who came to save them. 
    In this groundbreaking and controversial account, Naveed Ali Sheikh unearths the suppressed truth behind Operation Gothic Serpent—the role of the Pakistani Armed Forces, who spearheaded the rescue of trapped American Delta Force and Rangers when no one else could. 
    Drawing from eyewitness testimonies, military records, and declassified sources, Sheikh sheds light on the unrecognized heroism of Pakistani UN troops who fought through enemy lines, held their ground under intense fire, and pulled the wounded from the jaws of certain death. 
    This is not just a retelling of a failed mission— 
    It is a correction of the historical record. 
    It is the voice of the forgotten. 
    It is the truth behind the fog. 
    Daring. Unflinching. Necessary.🖋️ About the Author

    A NEW EDITION OF ONE OF THE MOST CELEBRATED BOOKS ON THE TROUBLES
    Branded as 'Bandit Country' by the British government, South Armagh was the heartland of the Provisional IRA. It was the rebel Irish stronghold where Thomas 'Slab' Murphy reigned supreme, bomb attacks on England were planned and the SAS tracked the IRA snipers who hunted British soldiers.
    In this acclaimed and remarkable book – originally published in 1999 – Toby Harnden, winner of the Orwell Prize, brings to bear his skills as a fearless journalist, inspired investigator and gifted historian, threatened with imprisonment for protecting his sources in Northern Ireland but undeterred. He draws on secret documents and unsparing interviews with key protagonists on both sides to produce perhaps the most compelling and essential account of the IRA and the Troubles.
