Chuck Pfarrer Orden de los libros

Philip Nolan: The Man Without a Country is Chuck Pfarrer's engaging adaptation of Edward Everett Hale's classic tale. Set against a backdrop of early 19th-century America, it follows young artillery officer Philip Nolan, who unwittingly becomes involved in Aaron Burr's conspiracy to invade territories acquired through the Louisiana Purchase. Believing he has official backing, Nolan carries a coded message for Burr, unaware of the treasonous intentions behind it. When Burr's plot is uncovered by Thomas Jefferson, both men find themselves in military custody. Burr's trial captures the nation's attention, and despite seemingly solid evidence, he is acquitted. In a twist of fate, Nolan faces expanded charges of desertion and sedition. In a moment of defiance, he renounces his country, wishing never to hear "United States" again. The court grants his wish, sentencing him to permanent exile aboard U.S. warships, severing his ties to his homeland. As years pass, Nolan becomes a stateless figure, drifting through life until he encounters Lieutenant Frank Curran. Their journey takes a dangerous turn when Barbary pirates capture an American whaleship, leading Nolan to impart vital lessons on duty, loyalty, and patriotism. This intricately plotted narrative is a poignant exploration of the human condition, blending adventure, naval history, and moral reflection.

Die Navy SEALs gelten als eine der härtesten militärischen Spezialeinheiten weltweit und sind für die Liquidation von Osama bin Laden verantwortlich. Kein SEAL hat sich je ergeben, kein SEAL wurde je gefangen genommen und keiner wurde je tot oder lebendig auf dem Schlachtfeld zurückgelassen. Der Navy SEAL Chuck Pfarrer nahm an über 200 Geheimoperationen teil. In diesem Buch erzählt er von seinen gefährlichsten Einsätzen auf allen Erdteilen, bei denen er immer wieder in Todesgefahr schwebte. Im Atlantik half er bei der Bergung von Interkontinental raketenteilen, in Südamerika unterstützte er Special-Forces-Operationen und im Mittelmeer versuchte er, eine Geisel zu befreien. Hochspannend, sehr persönlich und mit bestechender Ehrlichkeit schildert Pfarrer die Kampf- und Anti-Terror-Einsätze der SEALs. Seine Geschichten sind keine reinen Heldenepen, sondern bewegende Schilderungen von Kämpfen, bei denen Angst, Verwundung und Tod immer eine Rolle spielen.

"Since the first navy frogmen crawled onto the beaches of Normandy, no SEAL has ever surrendered," writes Chuck Pfarrer. "No SEAL has ever been captured, and not one teammate or body has ever been left in the field. This legacy of valor is unmatched in modern warfare."Warrior Soul is a book about the warrior spirit, and it takes the reader all over the world. Former Navy SEAL Chuck Pfarrer recounts some of his most dangerous assignments: On a clandestine reconnaissance mission on the Mosquito Coast, his recon team plays a deadly game of cat and mouse with a Nicaraguan patrol boat. Cut off on the streets of Beirut, the author's SEAL detachment must battle snipers on the Green Line. In the mid-Atlantic, Pfarrer's unit attempts to retrieve--or destroy--the booster section of a Trident ballistic missile before it can be recovered by a Russian spy trawler. On a runway in Sicily, his assault element surrounds an Egyptian airliner carrying the Achille Lauro hijackers.These are only a few of the riveting stories of combat patrol, reconnaissance missions, counter-terrorist operations, tragedies, and victories in Warrior Soul that illustrate the SEAL maxim "The person who will not be defeated cannot be defeated."From the Hardcover edition.
