Sinopse

Underwater Demolitions explores the hidden world of naval demolition teams, revealing their significant impact on military history and special operations. From covert sabotage to mine removal, these specialized divers have shaped conflicts since World War II. Their ability to infiltrate enemy harbors and disable critical infrastructure underscores their vital role in military strategy. The book highlights the evolution of underwater warfare, from the initial need to overcome fortified coastal defenses to the development of advanced diving equipment and explosives.

 
This book traces the chronological development of underwater demolition, starting with the formation of pioneering units during World War II and progressing through the Cold War and into modern-day counter-terrorism efforts. Key operational theaters, such as the Mediterranean and the Pacific, are examined, detailing specific missions and their strategic consequences. It emphasizes how these small units have had an outsized influence on naval warfare and the development of underwater technologies.

 
Underwater Demolitions offers a comprehensive analysis of both the tactical execution and strategic implications of underwater demolition. By drawing on declassified military documents, operational reports, and personal memoirs, the book provides a nuanced portrayal of naval combat demolition and its enduring legacy in maritime security. Readers will gain insights into the technological advancements, ethical considerations, and the ongoing evolution of this specialized field.

    A runaway airman slaughters a family of three as they sleep in their beds. 
    A single mother murders her two young sons and hides their dismembered bodies in her refrigerator. 
    An elderly man beats his granddaughter to death with a hammer because her childish singing annoys him. 
    Those are just three of the violent crimes that rocked Galveston in one year: 1955. 
    Galveston, Texas, has a storied history marked by captains of industry and mafia bosses. Their exploits are legendary. But those now-infamous stories weren’t the only ones to make headlines over the decades. The island city’s ordinary citizens left their mark as well, often on their friends and neighbors. Their stories are just as much a part of Galveston’s history as its deadly storms and favorite sons. 
    Island Indictments recounts the tales of 25 crimes that shocked the city and left juries wrestling with justice. Some killers paid for their crimes with their lives. Others walked free. 
    Take a trip across the causeway for a true crime journey through seven decades of Galveston’s past. 
    One thing’s for sure: The good old days weren’t always so good.

    After making his debut in The Killing Floor, Jack Reacher has quickly become one of the most popular―and most enduring―fictional heroes to emerge in the past half century. Now, his creator tells the stories behind the stories. 
     
     
     
    These are the origin tales of all of the Reacher novels written solely by Lee Child, chock full of colorful anecdotes and intriguing inspirations. One by one, they expand upon each novel and place it in the context not only of the author's life, but of the world outside the books. And taken together, they chart the rise of an action icon, from 1997's The Killing Floor to 2019's Blue Moon. An afterword by crime fiction expert and bookseller Otto Penzler considers the importance of the character and novels in the canon of contemporary crime fiction. 
     
     
     
    In addition to the essays, this collection also includes an original Reacher short story―the first new Reacher appearance entirely written by Lee Child since 2019. Entertaining and enlightening, Reacher: The Stories Behind the Stories is a must-listen for fans of the Jack Reacher series and a capstone to any collection of this excellent author.

    Part catharsis, part diagnosis, this divinely wry collection from New Yorker and McSweeney's satirist Eli Grober will strike a chord with those who are dismayed by the chaos of our times. None of it will help—but a few good laughs won't hurt. Probably. 
     
     
     
    There's a lot going on, all the time. It may feel overwhelming. Don't worry. It will end. This Won't Help is here for you in the meantime—with 100 short, sharp, satirical essays that skewer a world raging with inaction, while maximizing the profits of self-destruction. As if that would help! 
     
     
     
    Eli Grober's biting, Swiftian prose spares no one—not the megalomaniacal billionaire fleeing Earth for a better life on unlivable Mars, not an extremely online family living completely off-grid, not even a fossil-fuel lobbyist insisting we all stop using straws. (Eli does spare a kind thought for the supremely intelligent listeners with the good sense to buy this book.) Maybe, just maybe, descending through the inferno of our environmental, economic, and political landscape will help us find real solutions to the hypocrisy and dysfunction that surrounds us. But probably not.

    The Scheme - How the Right Wing...

    Following his book Captured on corporate capture of regulatory and government agencies, and his years of experience as a prosecutor, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse here turns his attention to the right-wing scheme to capture the courts, and how it influenced the Trump administration's appointment of over 230 "business-friendly" judges, including the last three justices of the United States Supreme Court. 
     
     
     
    Whitehouse traces the motive to control the court system back to Lewis Powell's notorious memo, which gave a road map for corporate influence to target the judiciary, and chronicles a hidden-money campaign using an armada of front groups and helped by the infamous Citizens United Supreme Court decision. The scheme utilized the Federalist Society as an appointments turnstile, spent secret millions to support the nominees, orchestrated an "amicus brief" signaling apparatus, and propped up front-group litigants to "fast-lane" strategic test cases to the friendly justices. 
     
     
     
    Whitehouse finds the same small handful of right-wing billionaires and corporations running operations that he likens to "covert ops," ultimately enticing the Senate to break rules, norms, and precedents to confirm wildly inappropriate nominees who would advance the anti-government agenda of a small number of corporate oligarchs.
