Secret Missions by Rear-Adm. Ellis M. Zacharias Pdf

“SECRET MISSIONS” IS AN EXTRAORDINARY RECORD OF THE TWENTY-FIVE YEAR WAR OF WITS AGAINST THE JAPANESE SECRET SERVICE. This fantastic—and true—story was written by Rear Admiral Ellis M. Zacharias, the man who with one master stroke of psychological warfare broke the Japanese will to resist—before the atom bombing of Hiroshima. Long before World War II, Admiral Zacharias was sent to Japan to study the language and the country. Thrust into the world of SECRET MISSIONS, he gained an intimate knowledge of Japanese Intelligence operations and of the military’s plans to steer Japan on a course for war. Admiral Zacharias predicted Pearl Harbor, but inadequate U.S. Intelligence and the blind outlook of some of his superiors allowed the tragedy of December 7, 1941 to occur. SECRET MISSIONS takes you behind the scenes and tells you how vast Japanese spy rings sprung up on our own soil and were smashed; how Japanese codes were broken; and finally, how Admiral Zacharias broke the Japanese will to resist just before the A-bombing of Hiroshima. “An interesting and lively book”—The New Yorker “...a little frightening”—New York Times ...READS LIKE AN ADVENTURE STORY”—Booklist Index

Secret Missions by Bob Smith Pdf

The private plane rolled down the runway a little after ten o'clock. From where he stood in the departure/arrival lounge, Paul saw Shihab strut down the stairs of the jet as if he owned it. Behind him was the man who would pull the trigger in the very near future. He was a small man, slightly balding, and walked with a limp. His eyes were piercing""not necessarily evil, but the message was clear. He was not looking to make a friend. It was as if his eyes were connected to a brain that might possibly deliver emotion""but not today.

Secret Missions of the Suffragettes by Jennifer Godfrey Pdf

Over two evenings in March 1912, more than 250 women – old and young, rich and poor, strong and delicate – were arrested and charged with using hammers and stones to smash the windows of shops and offices across London. The youngest amongst them was 19-year-old teenager glass-breaker and Kent working maid, Ethel Violet Baldock, while the eldest was 79-year-old Mrs Hilda Eliza Brackenbury, owner of suffragette safe house, Mouse Castle, in Campden Hill Square. These two evenings would later become known as the Women’s Social and Political Union’s window smashing Great Militant Protest. The protest, driven by WSPU leader Emmeline Pankhurst, was against the government and their refusal to include women in their reform bill, which would give women the right to vote. Secret Missions of the Suffragettes examines these two evenings in great detail, before going on to explore 'behind the scenes' of the movement; the safe houses and rest homes used by the history-shaping women involved, together with stories of the women themselves, as well as their self defense training and use of disguises and alias names, all of which were needed to be a part of such a militant campaign. Discover their stories, motives, plans, tactics and antics as Jennifer Godfrey explores the connections, friendships and collaborations that would help change the course of history for women in Britain.

Through astute and carefully documented commentary, Stern shows how seemingly random acts of underground warfare dramatically influenced the course of the war and American history.

Spies, Saboteurs and Secret Missions of World War II by Tony Matthews Pdf

What kind of courage does it take for an ordinary married couple to confront the Nazi regime of Hitler’s vicious Third Reich? And why did two men betray their fellow secret agents after landing on American shores with the intention of carrying out sabotage attacks on a massive scale? Why did the Germans murder more than two hundred and sixty innocent men in retaliation for a botched Resistance attempt to steal a simple truckload of meat? From technical wizardry that goes disastrously wrong, to underwater warfare with a sting in its tail, this new book by Tony Matthews delves into a wide range of top-secret stories, including black propaganda missions, calamitous Resistance operations and accounts of espionage activities at the very highest level. Spies, Saboteurs and Secret Missions of World War II is a fascinating insight into some of the most astonishing clandestine activities of the Second World War.

His Secret Mission by Joy Ohagwu Pdf

Christian Inspirational Fiction Torn between love and loyalty, will he go with his heart? Former Secret Service agent Hunter Huddleston worked to keep his professional and personal lives very separate—reducing chances of being targeted and ensuring the safety of his family. Suddenly leaving his beloved job at the Secret Service, for publicly undisclosed reasons, he struggles to deal with how he fell in love with his former charge—the First Daughter Susan Wells—who is off limits, way above his class, and highly protected. Worse still, as she tries to bridge the gap between them, he finds out that there are people to whose benefit it was that she remain unattached. When a series of murders leave Hunter as the only witness—and prime suspect—will Susan's father, President Wells, accept Hunter’s innocence and allow him to marry his daughter? Or will the triple label of having an ex-convict in his family, being a suspect in murder investigations, and mixing a professional encounter with personal interests, cost him his future, the love of his life, and land him behind bars? First Daughter Susan Wells has lived most of her life securely protected behind high walls, vigilant eyes, and classy facades. She longed to meet and marry a man who was down-to-earth, God-fearing, and real. When she met agent Hunter Huddleston, beyond his handsome appearance, she knew he had everything she’d ever wanted in a man. But regulations dictating his expected professional conduct force them into a tough choice. And just then, they discover that danger—and threats to their love and union—were not far behind.

The Luftwaffe's Secret WWII Missions by Dmitry Degtev,Dmitry Zubov Pdf

“Full of mystery and intrigue surrounding the Abwehr and the Luftwaffe secret missions supporting the insertion and less frequent extraction of agents.” —Aviation News There are many vivid episodes in the operational service of the Luftwaffe’s special and secret units which engaged in the delivery of agents and saboteurs in the rear of the enemy throughout the Second World War—not just on the Eastern Front but across Asia and Europe. The activities of the pilots and crews of these squadrons, even in the Luftwaffe itself, were closed and secret. Information on the operations and missions of these units was known only to a limited number of people. It was common practice for the crew of one aircraft in these units to know nothing about the assignments of their fellow airmen. The area of activity of such units and aircraft covered the whole of Europe, North Africa, the Arctic circle, the Urals, the Caucasus, and Central Asia including Iran, Iraq, and Afghanistan. The Luftwaffe not only flew to these remote regions, but also created secret bases for their aircraft. Drawn from German and Russian sources, much of the latter only recently declassified, the authors expose for the very first time the Luftwaffe’s secret operations and reveal the fate of many of the pilots, agents and saboteurs in a story as breathtakingly dramatic as any blockbuster novel. “A most interesting account of the special Luftwaffe units that flew agents into enemy territory during WWII . . .What may surprise many readers is the extent of these operations that stretched deep into the Soviet Union and also into the Middle East and Afghanistan.” —Firetrench

Mossad by Michael Bar-Zoha Pdf

Mossad is universally recognised as the greatest intelligence service in the world. It is also the most enigmatic, shrouded in a thick veil of secrecy. Many of its enthralling feats are still unknown; most of its heroes remain unnamed. From the kidnapping of Eichmann in Argentina and the systematic tracking down of those responsible for the Munich massacre to lesser-known episodes of astonishing espionage, this extraordinary book describes the dramatic, largely secret history of Mossad and the Israeli intelligence community. Examining the covert operations, the targeted assassinations and the paramilitary activities within and outside Israel, Michael Bar-Zohar and Nissim Mishal detail the great stories of Mossad and reveal the personal tales of some of the best Mossad agents and leaders to serve their country.
