Summary

"Daring Raids" explores the high-stakes world of military incursions throughout history, examining the strategic brilliance and inherent perils of these operations. It dissects raid tactics, from small ambushes to large-scale special operations, and analyzes the decision-making processes involved. The book highlights how raids, often perceived as reckless gambles, require a thorough understanding of the operational environment and a realistic risk assessment.

 
For instance, the success of a raid often hinges not only on tactical proficiency but also on the ability to adapt to unforeseen circumstances, making risk management vital. The book uniquely examines military raids through the lens of risk management, applying principles from fields like finance and engineering to improve planning and execution. It traces the evolution of raid tactics from ancient times to modern warfare, emphasizing the influence of technological innovations.

 
By contrasting successful raids with disastrous ones, "Daring Raids" illuminates factors contributing to each outcome, such as intelligence gathering and contingency planning. Beginning with a framework for analyzing raid effectiveness, the book progresses through historical case studies, contrasting successes and failures, and concluding with ethical considerations and long-term impacts. It's valuable for military enthusiasts and professionals alike, offering insights into the complexities of modern warfare and the enduring challenges of military leadership.

    The true story of "Mob Adjacent: A Family Memoir" follows an ordinary family's extraordinary life under the protection of the infamous Chicago Outfit. Take an acid trip down memory lane with brothers Jeffrey and Michael Gentile, Jr. as they discover a parallel world hidden behind a suburban facade. For them, "The Wonder Years" collides with "The Sopranos." Hoodlums and gangsters filter in and out of their lives and home and easily as the milkman and the mailman. In their world, the guy who robs the bakery is as respected as the guy who bakes the bread. Blame it on the company they keep. Their father grew up among the next generation of post-Capone Chicago mobsters and kept them as trusted friends and honorary uncles to his children for the rest of his life. Mike Gentile, Sr. wasn’t IN the mob, but he was NEAR it – mob adjacent. "Mob Adjacent: A Family Memoir" presents a who’s who of Chicago crime bosses – Tony Accardo, Frank Nitti, Sam Giancana, Joe Lombardo, and an assortment of hoodlums, gangsters, bone breakers, loan sharks, and second-story guys, with celebrity cameo appearances by Frank Sinatra, Leo Durocher, Jackie Gleason, Art Carney, Joan Collins, Liza Minnelli, and Elizabeth Taylor. For the Gentile brothers, living mob adjacent delivers benefits and teaches lessons. Grab a front- row seat to as much real-life mob drama as a Martin Scorsese/Francis Ford Coppola movie marathon. 
    “A fascinating book…a fascinating read. Mob Adjacent will open your eyes.” – Rick Kogan, Chicago Tribune 
    “You cannot put it down. You want a Netflix series, this is it.” -- Roe Conn, WGN Radio 
    “These stories by the Gentile brothers deserve the full cinematic treatment. Mob Adjacent is the real deal.” – Gino Cafarelli, Filmmaker, Author, Actor

    *As featured in the landmark BBC2 documentary Our Falklands War: A Frontline Story*Published to mark the fortieth anniversary of the Falklands war'There was a time when we did extraordinary things.' On 28 May 1982, 450 men of the 2nd Battalion, the Parachute  Regiment - 2 Para - went into action to retake the settlement of  Goose Green on East Falkland, where more than 1,000 Argentine  soldiers were holding 119 Falkland Islanders - men, women,  children and one baby - in squalid conditions. Forty years on, Goose Green is still the biggest and bloodiest  battle the British Army has fought in modern times. This book  is the living narrative of the battle told by the very men who  fought it; not just the soldiers of 2 Para, but also the SAS, the  Royal Navy and Merchant Navy, and others, in more than a hundred exclusive and untold personal accounts.Some are extremely funny, some touching, and some heart-breaking. All were recorded face to face, the speakers' own  words adding a gritty authenticity to each account and  conveying the confusion and terror of battle, as well as the courage and selflessness of men in action.  Goose Green is a book that goes beyond the official histories and the many memoirs to bring to life the first and, as it turned  out, the decisive battle of this country's outstanding campaign  to retake the Falkland Islands from a foreign invader. This is a true story of a great victory against all the odds, told by the men who fought it.
