Download and read online ebook The Neptune Strategy write by John J. Gobbell. This book was released on 2005-11-29. The Neptune Strategy available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Former naval officer John J. Gobbell brings to life marine warfare as few others ever have. Now, the author of When Duty Whispers Low, A Code For Tomorrow, and The Last Lieutenant, returns to the fiery panorama of World War II, as Commander Todd Ingram is caught in a living hell. BETWEEN THE HAMMER AND THE ANVIL... In 1944, the Allies have delivered a stunning blow to Hitler's Western front. In the Pacific, Admiral Raymond A. Spruance's Fifth fleet is poised to eviscerate the Japanese Navy--and begin a new war for the occupied islands. But in the center of this world-spanning drama, a lone Japanese submarine is on a mission of a very different kind. And on board is Todd Ingram, a prisoner of war and captive of fate. IS THE ULTIMATE ACT OF DECEPTION. Navy brass knows Ingram is on the sub, but can't reveal its ability to break Japanese code. So Ingram's friend, Captain Jerry Landa, is put in charge of a covert "Neptune Strategy" to save Ingram. But Landa can't help himself as he falls for Ingram's wife Helen while the top brass demands to know where the Japanese sub is going, who is in command--and what its astounding ultimate mission really is... "The Neptune Strategy is a fast-paced World War II story that is not only a page-turner, but managed to teach me a few things, too. I don't know of any novels set aboard a Japanese submarine but this is one, and it's an adventurous blend of fact and fiction that hooked me from the moment Commander Todd Ingram, Gobbell's realistic hero, is knocked overboard into the path of a marauding I-boat." --Homer Hickham, author of The Ambassador's Son and October Sky "A solid addition to Gobbell's developing war chronicle, as much historical fiction as military adventure." --Publishers Weekly

In 1944, the Allies have delivered a stunning blow to Hitler's Western Front. At the same time, Admiral Raymond A. Spruance's Fifth Fleet is poised to deliver a knock-out punch to the Japanese Navy in the Marianas and continue the Navy's island-hoping campaign all the way to Japan. But in the center of this world-spanning drama, a lone Japanese submarine, the I-57, headed for the U-boat pens in L'Orient, France, is on a mission of a very different kind. And on board is Todd Ingram, a prisoner of war. Ingram was given up for lost at sea but via top-secret code-breaking, the Navy brass discovers he is on the I-57. But they can't reveal how this was learned or that they even know it. So Ingram's close friend, Captain Jerry Landa, is put in charge of a covert "NEPTUNE STRATEGY" to save Ingram. But Landa can't help himself as he falls for Ingram's supposedly "widowed" wife Helen, while the top brass demands to know where the Japanese sub is going, who is in command-and what the I-57's ultimate mission really is. It's only until the I-57 makes a secret rendezvous with her sister ship, the I-49, in Madagascar's Antongila Bay, that Ingram learns this is not just a simple technical exchange mission between Germany and Japan. The I-57's mission has far more personal, and deadlier ramifications. Worst of all, Ingram discovers the sub's captain, Commander Hajime Shimada, plans to kill him before they reach L'Orient.

This book was released on 2006-01-01. In Good Faith available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. In retrospect it is difficult to accept that Western democracies have implicitly supported, or at least tolerated, the legalized system of white supremacy in South Africa known as apartheid. Renate Pratt’s new book, In Good Faith, explains why the Christian churches were among the first to publicly protest, and why they provided such cogent and determined international support for the struggle against apartheid. The Taskforce on the Churches and Corporate Responsibility is a coalition of Christian churches that for nearly twenty years was one of Canada’s leading anti-apartheid advocates. As the first co-ordinator of this Taskforce, Renate Pratt was at the centre of the early anti-apartheid initiatives in Canada and consequently is able to supply a clear and accurate view. The book traces the history of exchanges between the Taskforce and successive ministers and senior civil servants of the Department of External Affairs. It details the reluctant and weak responses offered by the Canadian government and business community right up to the time of Nelson Mandela’s release from prison. In Good Faith will be of particular interest to Canadian Christians concerned with ecumenical co-operation and with the social and political dimensions of their faith. Equally, it will appeal to those interested in the impact of public interest organizations on public policy or the relationship between politics and business interests.

Download and read online ebook Gators of Neptune write by Christopher D Yung. This book was released on 2013-09-15. Gators of Neptune available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. A research analyst for the Center for Naval Analyses offers a rare historical account of the Royal and U.S. Navies' involvement in one of the greatest amphibious assaults of modern history. It is a story of cooperation and, at times, discord, between the two navies as they planned the naval portion of the Allied invasion of Normandy. With the evolution of amphibious warfare as a backdrop, the book has sufficient technical detail to satisfy the modern day practitioner of amphibious warfare, yet is written in a style that makes it accessible to the general public. Thoroughly researched at the U.S. National Archives and the Naval Historical Center, the book takes the reader from the initial plans created by the Anglo-American Allies in 1942, through the first draft of Operation Overlord, to the final naval plan set down in 1944. It then presents a detailed description of the invasion itself. Christopher Yung covers every obstacle confronted by the naval planners, from the shifting tides of the English Channel to overcoming the European coastal defenses and dealing with the submarine threat. Despite his attention to historical detail, he brings to life the personalities of those who brought Operation Neptune from concept to reality.
