Summary

"The Navy Seals" offers a comprehensive exploration of America's elite special operations force, tracing their evolution from World War II underwater demolition teams to their current status as a vital component of modern warfare.

Through a blend of historical context and cutting-edge research, the book examines the SEALs' unique combination of physical prowess, mental toughness, and adaptability.

The authors draw on primary sources, including interviews with SEALs and declassified mission reports, to provide an authentic and balanced perspective.

It offers readers not only thrilling accounts of SEAL operations but also thoughtful analysis of their strategic importance and the ethical implications of their deployment. This accessible yet rigorous examination of the Navy SEALs provides valuable insights into leadership, teamwork, and resilience, making it a compelling read for military enthusiasts and general audiences alike.

    As the Canaanites established themselves in most of the Levant and the Hurrians carved out space for themselves in northwestern Syria, a West Semitic ethnic group known as the Amorites entered Mesopotamia and Syria from the Arabian Desert. The movement of the Amorites and Hurrians coincided with the collapse of the Ur III Dynasty after 2004 BCE (Haywood 2005, 28), although it is not known for sure if the collapse of Ur III led to the movement of peoples, or if the movement at least partially led to the collapse. As the Ur III Dynasty grew weak internally, it could be that the Amorite attacks were a major factor in the destruction of the state. It must be stated, though, that it was the Elamites who ultimately delivered the coup de grace that brought Ur III to its knees. The more likely scenario is that the Amorites simply took advantage of the power vacuum that was created when Ur III collapsed. 
    The Amorites actually belonged to several sub-tribes and did not necessarily move in unison, but they did migrate in such large numbers that they were able to overwhelm much of Mesopotamia and northeastern Syria by about 1800 BCE. All of the notable political dynasties and city-states from this period – Babylon, Mari, Assyria, Eshnunna, and Yamhad – were established by ethnic Amorites, although only traces of the Amorite identity were retained. The Amorites accepted standard Mesopotamian and Syrian religious practices, utilized the Akkadian language and the cuneiform writing style extensively, and built monumental architecture based on the Sumerian and Akkadian styles. Some bands of Amorites did in fact retain their semi-nomadic lifestyle, but they often found their former kinsmen were not so tolerant of their wandering traditions. Some of the early sedentary Amorites used the still semi-nomadic Amorites as mercenaries in their armies, but they also often fought them and did whatever they could to keep them out of their boundaries.

    For 2,000 years, since it pierced the side of Christ, the Spear of Destiny has been invested with amazing occult powers. This book records the legend and its continuing fulfillment in the decline of the Roman Empire, the Dark Ages, and the 20th century. It tells the story of the chain of men who possessed the Spear, from Herod the Great the Adolf Hitler, and how they sought to change the face of history by wielding its occult powers for good or evil. The Spear of Destiny is identified as the Spear of the Holy Grail mentioned in the sagas of the Dark Ages and shows the Grail to be a uniquely Western path to mind expansion—as applicable today as it was at the courts of King Arthur and Charlemagne. The final chapters of this book describe a Manichean battle of worlds behind the changing scene of the 20th century. And for the first time the Satanic occult development and faculties of Adolf Hitler are described in authentic and documented detail, showing how he furthered him aims and his conquest of the world by black magic practices. As a bonus feature a rare interview with the author is included.

    You are not searching anymore. 
    You are becoming the field.
