  Following the 9/11 attacks, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld directed the Marine Corps to establish a unit that would answer to US Special Operations Command. The eighty-six-man "Detachment One" was formed with a two-year charter to train and deploy as a "proof-of-concept" to assess the viability of a larger Marine Special Operations contribution in support of the Global War on Terror. 
   
   
   
  For such a departure from the norm, a special leader was needed. The Commanding Officer—Colonel Robert J. Coates, a Marine Force Recon legend—was given his pick of personnel. One of the four team leaders he selected was Gunnery Sergeant John A. Dailey. 
   
   
   
  These men built a unit from nothing, trained for unknown missions in an unknown location, and deployed amid controversy and skepticism. Once in Iraq, they were dubbed "Task Unit Raider" and quickly won over the naysayers who doubted the Marine's ability to operate successfully. 
   
   
   
  This book tells Dailey's story of the creation, training, and volatile 2004 Iraq deployment of Task Unit Raider that led to the creation of the Marine Forces Special Operations Command. Det-1 served as the bridge between the Raiders of WWII and the Marine Raiders of today.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Who really controls the global economy and shapes world events from behind closed doors? Marcus Sterling pulls back the curtain on the secretive billionaires whose influence extends far beyond their publicly known business empires.

Discover the interconnected networks of power that link seemingly unrelated corporations, foundations, and government institutions in surprising ways. Sterling investigates how strategic philanthropy, media ownership, and political donations create outsized influence over public policy and cultural narratives that shape society. Learn about the private meetings, exclusive clubs, and informal agreements that shape everything from interest rates to election outcomes worldwide. Through meticulous research and compelling storytelling, this guide reveals patterns of control that mainstream sources rarely discuss openly. Understand how wealth concentration threatens democratic institutions and what this means for ordinary citizens everywhere. Whether you are interested in economics, politics, or simply want to understand how power really operates in the modern world, this audiobook provides crucial perspective.

  Notes From a Feminist Killjoy -...

  Winner of the Atlantic Book Awards 2017 Margaret and John Savage First Book Award
  
  Winner of the East Coast Literary Awards 2017 Evelyn Richardson Non-Fiction Award
  
  Finalist for the 2017 Atlantic Book Award for Scholarly Writing
  Erin Wunker is a feminist killjoy, and she thinks you should be one, too.
  Following in the tradition of Sara Ahmed (the originator of the concept "feminist killjoy"), Wunker brings memoir, theory, literary criticism, pop culture, and feminist thinking together in this collection of essays that take up Ahmed's project as a multi-faceted lens through which to read the world from a feminist point of view.
  Neither totemic nor complete, the essays in Notes from a Feminist Killjoy: Essays on Everyday Life attempt to think publicly about why we need feminism, and especially why we need the figure of the feminist killjoy, now. From the complicated practices of being a mother and a feminist, to building friendship amongst women as a community-building and -sustaining project, to writing that addresses rape culture from the Canadian context and beyond, Notes from a Feminist Killjoy invites the reader into a conversation about gender, feminism, and living in our inequitable world.
