Great Britain: Blake Publishing. Very Good/Good. 1995. 2nd Impression. Cloth. Atlas Folio - over 23" - 25" tall 1857821351 Hardcover Hardcover 2nd Impression Nemesis File: The True Story of an Execution Squad light wear and a closed tear to bottom back of Dj Paul Bruce was a tough, idealistic young trooper in the SAS when he was despatched to Northern Ireland. His top-secret mission: to execute unarmed IRA suspects in cold blood. His story, told with chilling candour, gives an astonishing insight into the role of the SAS in the bitter conflict of Northern Ireland. It is also a devastating indictment of British government policy in the Province. Bruce and three SAS comrades shot down one terrified victim after another, leaving their bodies to be buried in deep, unmarked woodland graves. The soldiers grew their hair long, wore civilian clothes and drove ordinary-looking cars. But they always carried pistols and sub-machine guns. They worked to the direct command of the Intelligence Services based at 39th Infantry Headquarters in Lisburn. Their task: to destabilise the IRA. Their orders: to kill. Their secret code sign: NEMESIS. Britain's frustrated military leaders next ordered Bruce and his squad to foment sectarian violence by shooting down young men on the streets of Roman Catholic areas. In this historic, deeply disturbing book the author describes many of his victims and produces maps to show where bodies lie secretly buried. This is not simply a breathtaking story of Special Forces soldiering, of treachery and betrayal at the highest level, but a chronicle of the mental breakdown of crack SAS troops ordered to carry out the dirtiest job in a secret war. It is also the tale of the extraordinary inner struggle of one man, a man devoted to the SAS and its fine principles of professionalism and obedience.

Thomas Jefferson thought states' rights-an idea reviled today-were even more important than the Constitution's checks and balances. The "Wild" West was more peaceful and a lot safer than most modern cities. And the biggest scandal of the Clinton years didn't involve an intern in a blue dress. Surprised? Don't be. In America, where history is riddled with misrepresentations, misunderstandings, and flat-out lies about the people and events that have shaped the nation, there's the history you know and then there's the truth. In 33 Questions About American History You're Not Supposed to Ask, Thomas E. Woods Jr., the New York Times bestselling author of The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History, sets the record straight with a provocative look at the hidden truths about our nation's history-the ones that have been buried because they're too politically incorrect to discuss. Woods draws on real scholarship-as opposed to the myths, platitudes, and slogans so many other "history" books are based on-to ask and answer tough questions about American history, including: - Did the Founding Fathers support immigration? - Was the Civil War all about slavery? - Did the Framers really look to the American Indians as the model for the U.S. political system? - Was the U.S. Constitution meant to be a "living, breathing" document-and does it grant the federal government wide latitude to operates it pleases? - Did Bill Clinton actually stop a genocide, as we're told?
