Book excerpt: The untold story of the Ya'mas, Israel's special forces undercover team that infiltrated Palestinian terrorist strongholds during the Second Intifada. It was the deadliest terror campaign ever mounted against a nation in modern times: the al-Aqsa, or Second, Intifada. This is the untold story of how Israel fought back with an elite force of undercover operatives, drawn from the nation's diverse backgrounds and ethnicities--and united in their ability to walk among the enemy as no one else dared. Beginning in late 2000, as black smoke rose from burning tires and rioters threw rocks in the streets, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and Arafat's Palestinian Authority embarked on a strategy of sending their terrorists to slip undetected into Israel's towns and cities to set the country ablaze, unleashing suicide attacks at bus stops, discos, pizzerias--wherever people gathered. But Israel fielded some of the most capable and cunning special operations forces in the world. The Ya'mas, Israel National Police Border Guard undercover counterterrorists special operations units, became Israel's eyes-on-target response. Launched on intelligence provided by the Shin Bet, indigenous Arabic-speaking Dovrim, or "Speakers," operating in the West Bank, Jerusalem, and Gaza infiltrated the treacherous confines where the terrorists lived hidden in plain sight, and set the stage for the intrepid tactical specialists who often found themselves under fire and outnumbered in their effort to apprehend those responsible for the carnage inside Israel. This is their compelling true story: a tale of daring and deception that could happen only in the powder keg of the modern Middle East. INCLUDES PHOTOGRAPHS AND MAPS

Book excerpt: Ghost Warriors takes you into the jungles of Vietnam in late 1967 to accompany the brave men of E-Company's twenty-eight Long Range Patrol teams, later re-designated as Army Rangers. While 2,600,000 U.S. military served in Vietnam, only 5,300 saw action as Army Long Range Patrol, Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol, or Rangers. No forces in Vietnam had more close-up enemy contact. Accompany teenage paratroopers as they are inserted by helicopter, Navy boats, or parachute into triple-canopy jungle, and then rely on their survival and fighting skills to provide reconnaissance for the U.S. Army's 1st Field Force. Experience the air war from the perspectives of a helicopter gunship commander and a fixed-wing pilot. Join the Ghost Warriors as they participate in a night combat jump, train with Marine Force Recon, and go on a dangerous mission to recover a top-secret scope. Discover how some of the intelligence they gathered could have minimized the impact of the enemy's Tet Offensive. Enjoy light-hearted moments, too, as humor and goofing around helps the guys cope with three grim realities of war-danger, destruction, and death.Ghost Warriors also covers stories from the home front. Take a glimpse into the hearts and minds of wives, sweethearts, and family members left in the States to cope with concern for their soldier's well-being, insufficient Army pay, job discrimination, and the prevalent public disdain for the war (and by association, their loved one in 'Nam).One Ghost Warrior, James Worth, says, "I look back at the Vietnam War with plenty of mixed feelings, but on one thing there can be no doubt. I got to fight with the best soldiers of the Vietnam War, the baddest-ass do-anything guys you could imagine. It's a great honor just to be with them, to be one one of them. I served with the best warriors America put out in that war; they were tough, dedicated fighters who were not afraid to take on the enemy's A-Team. . . . These were the epitome of paratroopers taking the war to the enemy and shoving it down their throats. Take that, motherfuckers! The U.S. Airborne was here!"
