EXHAUSTIVELY RESEARCHED, brilliantly constructed, informatively and briskly written, WAR IN THE SHADOWS is one of the most extensive works on guerrilla warfare ever published. From the charioteers of the Emperor Darius to the jungle-wise Viet Cong, the author has compiled and deftly analyzed the social, political and military factors that give rise to, sustain, and control guerrilla operations as they have been carried out through the ages.
The reader will be totally absorbed by the fast-paced narrative as Robert Asprey, author of Semper Fidelis, presents us with lucid, delving insights into:
The careers of guerrilla leaders: Villa and Zapata... Che Guevara... Francis Marion, the "Swamp Fox" of the American Revolution... Hannibal... T. E. Lawrence... General Giap of Viet Nam... Jomo Kenyatta.
Guerrilla leaders and forces that actually toppled empires and wrested control of nations: Fidel Castro... the Irish Republican Army... the Viet Minh... Mao and Ho Chi Minh... the Mau Mau... the Bolsheviks... Attila and the Huns... Tito.
Conventional leaders who adapted certain guerrilla tactics and worked successfully with guerrilla units: Alexander the Great... Caesar... George Washington... Robert E. Lee... Frederick the Great... Lord Kitchener... the Duke of Wellington.
Famous insurrections and uprisings: the Sepoy Mutiny in India... the Boxer Rebellion... the Philippine Insurrection... the Mexican Revolution... the Cyprus revolt... the Boer Wars... the Crusades... uprisings in modern Africa.
The theory of guerrilla warfare is examined in Volume I as Asprey quotes extensively from such military historians and tacticians as Jomini, Machiavelli, Clause-witz and Liddell Hart. He personally explores the use and effects of terror, adapting to terrain, controlling civilian populations and the paradox of terrorist activities; and he gives insights into many guerrilla and quasi-guerrilla bands only touched on in all but the most specific histories: the Vikings... the Japanese infantry of World War II... the Palestinians... the French OAS in Algeria... the Sinn Fein in Ireland ... the OSS... the American Indian tribes.
Volume II of this impressive work focuses on Indochina and Viet Nam, giving one of the most comprehensive, far-reaching studies of that turbulent land and its wars yet published. Read of the Vietminh and the famed battle of Dien Bien Phu... American intervention... ARVN tactics ...the roles of Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon... Viet Cong setbacks ...the air war... the Tet offensive... the role of the CIA... the facts behind American withdrawal.
An unprecedented work of monumental proportions, WAR IN THE SHADOWS, highlighted by 63 maps, an extensive bibliography and the author's brisk narrative style, is a giant two-volume reference source for every military and history buff. It is a history you will turn to again and again, for its own intrinsic value and as a supplementary guide to almost every volume on your history bookshelf.
"I regard it as excellent in every respect and as making a major contribution to the history of a sad episode in my Country's foreign relations... the writing is of conspicuously high caliber, rich in lessons learned and unlearned."
-Gen. Matthew B. Ridgeway
"...One of the most sensible and thorough discussions of the war in Viet Nam that I have yet read. It is mercifully free of the cant that usually accompanies writing about Viet Nam and it is particularly good on the military history of the war."
-Donald S. Zagoria, Research Institute on Modern Asia, Hunter College
"It is indeed a unique work. I cannot recall any other work in any language I read which treats this subject. Robert Asprey writes with power and clarity... it could easily have been episodic -a series of vignettes. Instead it reads like part of a larger work which might well be titled "Power-Its Use and Abuse; Its Attainments and Its Loss in Modern Times." On reflection it scared the hell out of me."
-John A. Harrison Editor, Journal of Asian Affairs
"I am tremendously impressed by your achievement. The breadth of your knowledge and reading is breathtaking, and you handled this amazingly rich material with great skill and discipline..."
-Philip Zeigler
"A very clear exposition of a complicated topic, and I must congratulate you on your ability to pull so many different strands together, and do it so smoothly."
-Peter Paret, Stanford University Department of History
"The author handles the overall subject of guerrilla warfare in the most comprehensive manner that I have read___I think that the book is superb and its pages should be dog-eared in every military man's library."
-James M. Gavin

Kolyma the Worst of the Gulag Archipelago
Posted: at 8:12 am
Here is a book about the most notorious of Soviet death camps in the Siberian region, 2 to 3 million people, most of them White, died under the cruel auspices of the Hammer and Sickle.
This book is about the worst camp in communism, and the people who were sent there on a one-way journey to a camp where there were more real victims than the fictional death tole at Auschwitz.
(Note: This book is now out-of-print, but now available online)
"This excellent historical work gives us a painstaking account of a subject only barely touched on in 'The Gulag Archipelago'... 'Kolyma' may well be the best place to begin an acquaintance with this appalling material."
-Hilton Kramer in The New York Times Book Review
Solzhenitsyn, in The Gulag Archipelago, calls Kolyma the "pole of cold and cruelty" of Stalin's labour-camp system, adding that it is so notorious in the USSR that he himself is only devoting a few pages to it. In this important book, first published in hardback in 1978, Robert Conquest makes it clear why Kolyma is a name comparable with Auschwitz. Its three million-odd victims perished not in gas chambers, but predominantly by cold and hunger, and, as Dr. Conquest demonstrates, these killings were the conscious result of a policy of extermination.
Kolyma is a vast area in the north-east of arctic Siberia and could only be reached by sea, during the ice-free summer months, over which the prison hulks carried their victims in appalling conditions. Drawing on a number of first-hand accounts of life in the camps, the author "has brilliantly made a pattern of the patchwork. His approach, his style, his controlled detachment all suggest a man who is not overcalling his hand" (The Listener).
"Outstanding... a moving compilation of direct experiences coupled with painstaking research to ensure accuracy."
-Deam W. Given in The Chicago Tribune
Robert Conquest's works include several celebrated books on the Soviet Union such as Russia After Khrushchev and The Great Terror.

2012 Shift of Consciousness
Posted: August 10, 2011 at 4:25 am
Spiritual electricity!
That's what happens when Barbara Marx Hubbard taps into her visionary genius and calls each of us to give our greatest gifts to the Shift on planet Earth - a jolt of soulful juice to power our inner batteries.
Yesterday, the subtle electricity coursed through the hearts and minds of all those gathered live - especially during the collective "mmmm" of our "planetary smile" at the end of the Barbara's meditation.
Here's your recording - I encourage you to listen as soon as possible: http://birth2012.com/library
Every time I dance with Barbara for these Birth 2012 Activation Events, I am reinvigorated in MY passion and purpose, which is creating The Shift Network to empower the Shift on planet earth.
You see, it is show time for the human race. We've cooked up quite a number of crises as our wake-up call to remember who we truly are and begin to work together for a more whole, healthy, sustainable, and thriving world. This doesn't have to be a grim, serious duty of being responsible global citizens and handling our "problems." It can be a delight, as Barbara demonstrates.
We CAN navigate through earth's crises and birth a new era, following our "compass of joy"and discovering potent collaborations with other kindred souls. It's really not all that hard - it only seems that way when we are isolated, discouraged, and alone, as most of us have been trained to be.
The Birth 2012 vision of a Planetary Birth Day Celebration can help us awaken as a movement, weaving the dreams of thousands, then millions, and eventually billions together to co-create a new era in human evolution. That era can be filled with grace, powered by love, and seasoned with sheer delight.
The good news is that you don't have to wait. We can create that era RIGHT NOW, in miniature, with the Agents of Conscious Evolution Training starting on August 9th, led by Barbara and Devaa Haley Mitchell and featuring renowned guest teachers like Ken Wilber and Andrew Cohen.
It's been carefully honed to empower you to SHIFT from ego to essence, FIND your vocation of destiny, UNDERSTAND your evolutionary journey, CONNECT in heart resonance with others, and CO-CREATE a new world. It has attracted some of the brightest lights in the world who are committed to make the Shift a reality and who are now part of our global team.
As we went over the feedback from the 825 ACEs who have completed the training, we were excited that 93% had experienced a personal shift in how they feel in the world, 92% are mostly or completely clear on their passion and purpose, and 91% can share the evolutionary story in a way people understand. They feel more "confident," "connected," "supported," "courageous," and "joyful."
What is clear to me is that there is no better way to charge up your spiritual batteries than 12 weeks with Barbara Marx Hubbard and those attracted to the ACE program. Plugging into the high voltage insight and energy Barbara offers via video each week is like connecting yourself to the Source power plant - it helps you turn ON to your full potential.
Who could have imagined that building a movement to change the world could be such a joyous experience?
Please join us and liberate your own creative genius in the process!

World Affairs / Conscious Evolution
Date: 08-02-11
Host: George Noory
Guests:
In the latter half, visionary, social pioneer and author Barbara Marx Hubbard discussed the idea of conscious evolution, and how humankind must evolve or face extinction. She suggested that evolution can occur by choice rather chance, and while many are focused on doom & gloom 2012 scenarios, she presented a hopeful vision of our future. "I think we're seeing the emergence of a universal species...we're going to have extended life, extended intelligence, extended contact throughout the universe, that we'll be freed up from repetitive labor...and the species itself will evolve into a co-created humanity... But if we don't, if we stay self-centered, separate, competitive, overpopulating and polluting, we won't make it," she stated.
We're seeing a breakthrough of more people becoming conscious of god, super-nature, spirit, or tendency of higher order-- a transcending impulse of higher evolution, she continued. Hubbard, now 81, shared some of the fascinating paths in her life, how she turned from a housewife into a "futurist," her relationship with Buckminster Fuller, and details of her run for Vice President in 1984 (Neale Donald Walsch recently penned a biography of Hubbard called The Mother of Invention).
