This book is open access and available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. It is funded by Knowledge Unlatched. This volume presents women warriors and hero cults from a number of cultures since the early modern period. The first truly global study of women warriors, individual chapters examine figures such as Joan of Arc in Cairo, revenging daughters in Samurai Japan, a transgender Mexican revolutionary and WWII Chinese spies. Exploring issues of violence, gender fluidity, memory and nation-building, the authors discuss how these real or imagined female figures were constructed and deployed in different national and transnational contexts. Divided into four parts, they explore how women warriors and their stories were created, consider the issue of the violent woman, discuss how these female figures were gendered, and highlight the fate of women warriors who live on. The chapters illustrate the ways in which female fighters have figured in nation-building stories and in the ordering or re-ordering of gender politics, and give the history of women fighters a critical edge. Exploring women as military actors, women after war, and the strategic use of women's stories in national narratives, this intellectually innovative volume provides the first global treatment of women warriors and their histories.

The Extraordinary Story Of The U.S. Coast Guard Since its founding more than two hundred years ago, the United States Coast Guard has rescued over a million people. On any given day, "Coasties" respond to 125 distress calls and save over a dozen lives. Yet despite having more than 50,000 active-duty and reserve members on every ocean and on our nation's coasts, great lakes, and rivers, most of us know very little about this often neglected but crucial branch of the military. In Rescue Warriors, award-winning journalist David Helvarg brings us into the daily lives of Coasties, filled with a salty maritime mix of altruism and adrenaline, as well as dozens of death-defying rescues at sea and on hurricane-ravaged shores. Helvarg spent two years with the men and women of the Coast Guard, from the halls of their academy in New London, Connecticut, to the frigid, storm-tossed waters of Alaska's Bering Sea, to the northern Persian Gulf, where they currently guard Iraqi oil terminals. The result is a masterpiece of adventure reporting---the definitive book on America's "forgotten heroes."

This book was released on 2012. Training Heroes available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Former US Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell's story of survival is well known. In his bestseller, Marcus tells the story of Operation Redwing, a mission in the mountains of Afghanistan that left him as the only living member of his team. But one part of Marcus's remarkable story has remained untold until now. In Training Heroes, Steve Hunter explores the foundation for Marcus's success as a Navy SEAL-his training in Buke-ryu, a style of traditional martial arts created by Hunter. Buke-ryu combines the best of Okinawan karate-jutsu and Japanese aiki- and ju-jutsu, along with training in modern weapons and outdoor skills such as hunting and tracking. Hunter, as the innovator of Buke-ryu, trains the whole person to develop a strong body, a sound mind, and a spirit grounded in Christian values. Hunter instilled all these qualities in his student Marcus Luttrell and provided training that proved essential to Marcus's amazing survival in Afghanistan. A powerful story of a teacher's importance in developing a warrior, Training Heroes sheds new light on Marcus's journey in Afghanistan. Hunter captures the intensity of one of his most dedicated students and shows readers how he realized his own calling to spend his life Training Heroes.
