Sinopse

In "In African Forest and Jungle," Paul B. Du Chaillu presents a vivid narrative that captures the awe and complexity of the African wilderness. Fusing personal anecdotes with detailed observations, Du Chaillu employs an engaging literary style characterized by rich descriptions and an adventurous tone. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century exploration, the book serves as both a travelogue and a natural history, offering insights into the diverse flora and fauna of equatorial Africa while also touching on the cultures of the indigenous peoples he encounters along the way. Paul B. Du Chaillu, an American explorer and anthropologist born in 1835, was among the first Westerners to explore the interior of Africa, his passion for natural history evident in his meticulous documentation. Formative experiences in his youth—including his early encounters with African landscapes and cultures—shaped his fascination with the region. His travels, which were often perilous and fraught with challenges, provided him unique perspectives that he weaves throughout the book, exploring themes of survival, curiosity, and wonder. This book is highly recommended for readers with an interest in exploration narratives, natural history, and cultural anthropology. Du Chaillu's evocative storytelling invites readers to experience the majesty of Africa's jungles, making it an essential read for those yearning to explore the confluence of human and natural worlds.

    Pundits have long predicted the end of conventional warfare but for the foreseeable future, 
    it is here to stay. Counterinsurgency, guerrilla warfare, terrorism, peace enforcement, policing. 
     
     
     
    All these forms, like conventional warfare, are as old as mankind. Modern militaries claim to be 
    professional bodies, responsible for the education, control, and discipline of their members. But at least one aspect of this claim is poorly executed: tactics are not taught to junior leaders, which is why this guide is essential for all junior leaders, officers, and NCOs alike. 
     
     
     
    There is a military adage that there is no teacher like the enemy. True; but the wise commander 
    prepares to meet that enemy and become their teacher instead. This is your essential study guide.
