  Sunset, 8 June 1982, East Falkland. Eight specially trained Royal Marines infiltrate Goat Ridge, a long rocky hilltop between Mount Harriet and Two Sisters which are occupied by a battalion of 600 Argentine infantry. Their daring mission was to hide out in hostile territory, reconnoiter the Argentine position and then report back. From their hiding place just metres away from the enemy, they note and sketch the Argentine positions, then withdraw as stealthily as they had come. Their daring patrol provides essential intelligence that guided the British assault which overwhelmed the Argentine defences two days later.This was just one example of the missions undertaken by the Royal Marines Mountain and Arctic Warfare Cadre during the Falklands War, all of which are described in graphic detail in Rod Boswell's eyewitness account. Using his own recollections and those of his comrades, he describes their operations in the Falklands - the observation posts set up in the no man's land between San Carlos and Port Stanley, their role in the raid at Top Malo House, and the reconnaissance patrols they carried out close to the Argentine lines during the conflict.This celebrated first-hand account gives a fascinating insight into the operational skills of a small, specially trained unit and shows the important contribution it made to the success of the British advance. It also records the entire experience of the Falklands War from their point of view - the long voyage south through the Atlantic, the landings, the advance and the liberation of Stanley.For fans of Goose Green, Fighting for Queen and Country and First into Action.

  The plan works even if you have $0 to your name and currently make minimum wage. 
  If you have nothing to your name and currently only make minimum wage, it can take up to 20 years. 
  Otherwise, if you are already partway there, it will happen faster for you. 
  It might sound sensational, but at the end of the day, setting yourself up for retirement is just a matter of simple math and consistent long-term self-discipline. It is as extremely easy, completely realistic, and actually unavoidable as it is for an obese person who is 200 lbs overweight to lose that weight and keep it off by following a certain diet plan with a certain calorie budget. 
  This is not a get-rich-quick scheme. This is not the crash diet of financial plans. This is a long-term plan that uses the power of consistency, self-discipline, and exponential growth to generate seemingly incredible results over the long-term. But they only seem incredible. Ultimately, it is simple math, and the real power comes simply from you having the self-discipline to follow the plan consistently year after year.

  Heavyweight - Black Boxers and...

  In Heavyweight, Jordana Moore Saggese examines images of Black heavyweight boxers to map the visual terrain of racist ideology in the United States, paying particular attention to the intersecting discourses of Blackness, masculinity, and sport. Looking closely at the "shadow archive" of portrayals across fine art, vernacular imagery, and public media at the turn of the twentieth century, she demonstrates how the images of boxers reveal the racist stereotypes implicit in them, many of which continue to structure ideas of Black men today. With a focus on both anonymous fighters and notorious champions, including Jack Johnson, Saggese contends that popular images of these men provided white spectators a way to render themselves experts on Blackness and Black masculinity. These images became the blueprint for white conceptions of the Black male body—existing between fear and fantasy, simultaneously an object of desire and an instrument of violence. Reframing boxing as yet another way whiteness establishes the violent mythology of its supremacy, Saggese highlights the role of imagery in normalizing a culture of anti-Blackness.
