In 2005, a four-man PsyOp team was assigned to Sadr City, a violent Baghdad neighborhood of more than 2.5 million residents. The mission? Turn the ideological tide against insurgent leader Muqtada Al Sadr and his Mehdi militia by the promotion of pro-democratic messages among the Iraqis. The means? Use of psychological operations: non-kinetic force. Written in boots-on-the-ground-real time, Boone Cutler unveils basic principles of psychological warfare, illustrating the effectiveness of real-world tactics that he and his team implemented to reach that part of the Iraqi consciousness that has long been the victim of learned helplessness. Boone's miniscule attention to detail and vivid storytelling ability allows the reader to track the effectiveness of non-kinetic warfare in Sadr City, encounter by encounter. Ultimately, Boone makes the case that non-kinetic warfare is, perhaps, the most overlooked tool in the United States' arsenal for legitimate, successful, and long-term nation-building.

The story of the supersonic fighter with “interesting insight into the period of the 1950s and early 1960s, the Cold War and of course the war in Vietnam” (Military Modelling). During the mid–1950s the United States Air Force was given its most powerful single-seat, two-engine fighter to date. The Voodoo would be deployed before the end of that decade in the tactical nuclear bomber and tactical reconnaissance roles worldwide, and in homeland defense with the two-seat, all-weather variant. In December 1957 it took the World Air Speed Record to Mach 1.6—over one and a half times faster than the sound barrier. This book looks at the evolution of the original design and its introduction into service. Chapters cover operations in Korea, Vietnam, the Cuban Crisis and in Europe during the Cold War years. Many first-hand accounts from pilots are included and the author’s own experiences with the aircraft are given with fascinating insight. The Voodoo was an elegant, mean-looking fighting machine that epitomized fast flying in the fifties and sixties. It continues to be a revered airplane. “Definitely a book that gives an in depth look at the Voodoo and the pilots who flew her.”—InScale.org

On 23 November 1977, an armada of helicopters and aeroplanes took off from Rhodesian airbases and crossed the border into Mozambique. Their objective: to attack the headquarters of the Zimbabwe African National Liberation Army, where thousands of enemy forces were concentrated. Codenamed Operation Dingo, the raid was planned to coincide with a meeting of Robert Mugabe and his war council at the targeted HQ. It would be the biggest conflict of the Rhodesian Bush War. In this fascinating account, Ian Pringle describes the political and military backdrop leading up to the operation, and he tells the story of the battle through the eyes of key personalities who planned, led and participated in it. Using his own experience as a jet and helicopter pilot and skydiver, he recreates the battle in detail, explaining the performance of men and machines in the unfolding drama of events. Dingo Firestorm is a fresh, gripping recreation of a major battle in southern African military history.
