• Guns Up!: A Firsthand Account of the Vietnam War by Johnnie Clark

  https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/813752 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Guns Up!: A Firsthand Account of the Vietnam War Author: Johnnie Clark Narrator: John Fehskens Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 34 minutes Release date: December 10, 2024 Genres: Military Publisher's Summary: This gut-wrenching firsthand account of the war is a classic in the annals of Vietnam literature. 'Guns up!' was the battle cry that sent machine gunners racing forward with their M60s to mow down the enemy, hoping that this wasn't the day they would meet their deaths. Marine Johnnie Clark heard that the life expectancy of a machine gunner in Vietnam was seven to ten seconds after a firefight began. Johnnie was only eighteen when he got there, at the height of the bloody Tet Offensive at Hue, and he quickly realized the grim statistic held a chilling truth. The Marines who fought and bled and died were ordinary men, many still teenagers, but the selfless bravery they showed day after day in a nightmarish jungle war made them true heroes. This new edition of Guns Up!, filled with updated information about those harrowing battles, also contains the real names of these extraordinary warriors and details of their lives after the war. The book's continuing success is a tribute to the raw courage and sacrifice of the United States Marines.

• The War for Ukraine: Strategy and Adaptation Under Fire by Mick Ryan

  https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/812525 to listen full audiobooks. Title: The War for Ukraine: Strategy and Adaptation Under Fire Author: Mick Ryan Narrator: Grant Cartwright Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 36 minutes Release date: November 19, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 1 of Total 1 Genres: Military Publisher's Summary: The Russo-Ukraine War is a vital learning opportunity for military strategists across the globe. The first and clearest lesson to be gleaned from it is this: the soundness of a military's strategy and the nimbleness with which it can adapt to unforeseen circumstances are the two most important factors in deciding victory or defeat. The War for Ukraine analyzes the war through these twin lenses of strategy and adaptation, detailing how each army has succeeded or failed to plan for and adapt to this twenty-first century war. Author Mick Ryan examines the foundations of Ukrainian and Russian strategy for their ongoing war, looking back over several decades to reveal how both sides have evolved their military strategy and force structure. Each has undertaken institutional-level reforms of their military and national security enterprises in the decade leading up to this war. But because the emergent behavior of military forces after fighting begins cannot be fully predicted, these prewar reforms only constitute a starting point for adaptation during the war. Central to this discussion are the ways that, regardless of cutting-edge technology, human elements have remained a crucial deciding factor in Ukraine. Ryan shows how good leadership allows a nation to navigate the ambiguity and uncertainty of conflict, while poor leadership leaves it vulnerable to surprises.

• Indochina Hand: Tales of a CIA Case Officer by Barry Michael Broman

  https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/818797 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Indochina Hand: Tales of a CIA Case Officer Author: Barry Michael Broman Narrator: Joe Barrett Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 35 minutes Release date: November 19, 2024 Genres: Military Publisher's Summary: Barry Broman joined the CIA in 1971 straight out of the Marine Corps, choosing a career in intelligence largely because he wanted to spend his working life in Southeast Asia. Over the next thirty years, he had the privilege of working with brave men and women who were prepared to put their lives on the line in support of the free world during the Cold War, and he enjoyed the life of adventure he had been seeking since childhood. This book brings together tales from his career as a CIA case officer during the Cold War, giving fascinating insights into handling double agents, working in denied areas, assessing and recruiting Soviet targets, flying with Air America, acting to discredit Soviet agents with Moscow, and what happened when a case officer sets a 'scavenger hunt' around Bangkok for fellow spies—and at least one active target. A selection of stories told in engaging style proving that often the truth is more unbelievable than fiction.
