| soldiers dying at fort bragg: Old Soldiers Never Die Don Bendell, 2024-09-17 Fanatical terrorists have planted a backpack nuclear bomb at one of America’s popular tourist attractions intending to kill many innocent people. However, one arthritic old man stands in their way, along with his beautiful passionate lover who is a surgeon, a moderate Muslim police detective lieutenant friend, and a courageous loyal German Shepherd. However, wanting to kill and behead the doctor are the very same extremists who planted the bomb, and they have been chasing her and the old man, a former Green Beret Vietnam War veteran, retired martial arts instructor, and best-selling author. They have chased the pair all over the forested mountains of southern Colorado, and lakes, and cities. The pair is also being pursued by a big law enforcement task force thinking they are cop-killers, so they are trying to elude but protect the innocent but angry officers. One thing the terrorists did not think about was that the old man was also a real cowboy with a real horse, a real ranch, and real survival skills, and lived by his own Code of the West. He was also being helped by a friend he had worked with before who happened to be the surgeon’s father, a living legend in Special Forces and the CIA. Heading to the Mideast, he planned to “cut the head off the snake,” because nobody was going to hurt his little girl. |
| soldiers dying at fort bragg: No Better Place to Die Peter Cozzens, 1989-11-01 A mere handful of battlefields have come to epitomize the anguish and pain of America's Civil War: Gettysburg, Shiloh, Chancellorsville, Chickamauga. Yet another name belongs on that infamous list: Stones River, the setting for Peter Cozzens's No Better Place to Die. It was here that both the Union and Confederate armies lost over one-quarter of their forces in battle casualties. The Confederacy's defeat at Stones River unleashed a wave of dissension that crippled the army's high command and ultimately closed Tennessee to the South for two years. The loss deterred the British and French from coming to the aid of the South in the Civil War, with tragic effects for the Southern cause. In the 126 years since the guns fell silent at Stones River, few books have examined the bloody clash and its impact on the war's subsequent outcome. No Better Place to Die recounts the events and strategies that brought the two armies to the banks of this central Tennessee river on December 31, 1862. Cozzens re-creates the battle itself, following the movements and performance of individual regiments. A series of maps clarifies the combat activity. Cozzens frequently lets the men who fought the battle speak for themselves, through letters, diaries, memoirs, and battlefield communications. Here we learn about such critical moments as General Philip Sheridan's gallant defense along the Wilkinson Pike, one of the war's most tenacious stands against overwhelming odds, and the bravery in battle exemplified by Brekenridge's attack on the Union left, a doomed assault with the poignancy of Pickett's charge. Over twenty thousand Union and Confederate soldiers were killed, wounded, or captured in the bloody New Year's battle of Stone's River. The impact of their struggle extended far beyond the thousands of shattered human lives, ultimately imperiling the fortunes of the Confederacy. No Better Place to Die pays tribute to the heroes, the scoundrels, the mistakes, the bravery, and the grief at Stone's River. |

| soldiers dying at fort bragg: Murder Along the Cape Fear David T. Morgan, 2005 Murder Along the Cape Fear is the story of Fayetteville and Fort Bragg, North Carolina, during the twentieth century. Seen through the eyes of a native son, this is the tale of one - a distinguished historian - who lived through some of it and heard about much of it from friends and relatives. In this hundred-year journey the town was profoundly impacted by the establishment of Fort Bragg 10 miles to its west. Throughout this hundred-year history, murder seems to be the scarlet thread that stitched the town into infamy. The book demonstrates that Fayetteville was by no means innocent prior to the coming of Fort Bragg. Nor did all of the crime and evil emanate from Fort Bragg after 1918. As for murder, there was an abundance of killing that had no connection with Fort Bragg, but the most sensational murder case of the century involved Jeffrey MacDonald, a Green Beret Army captain and physician who received three life terms in federal prison for killing his pregnant wife and two daughters. While many other Fort Bragg soldiers were involved with murders along the Cape Fear, murders were also committed by transient civilians and local citizens like the famous inventor of the M-1 carbine, Marshall Carbine Williams, and Velma Barfield, who poisoned her mother and three other people. In all, about two dozen murder cases-some highly publicized and some not-are woven into this story about a North Carolina town in the twentieth century. Engagingly told, this book is a wonderful blend of history, lore, and murder. |
| soldiers dying at fort bragg: I Am a Soldier, Too Rick Bragg, 2003-11-11 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and bestselling author lends his remarkable narrative skills to the story of the most famous POW this country has known. In I Am a Soldier, Too, Bragg lets Jessica Lynch tell the story of her capture in the Iraq War in her own words--not the sensationalized ones of the media's initial reports. Here we see how a humble rural upbringing leads to a stint in the military, one of the most exciting job options for a young person in Palestine, West Virginia. We see the real story behind the ambush in the Iraqi Desert that led to Lynch's capture. And we gain new perspective on her rescue from an Iraqi hospital where she had been receiving care. Here Lynch’s true heroism and above all, modesty, is allowed to emerge, as we're shown how she managed her physical recovery from her debilitating wounds and contended with the misinformation--both deliberate and unintended--surrounding her highly publicized rescue. In the end, what we see is a uniquely American story of courage and true heroism. |
| soldiers dying at fort bragg: The Book of Honor Ted Gup, 2001-05-01 A national bestseller, this extraordinary work of investigative reporting uncovers the identities, and the remarkable stories, of the CIA secret agents who died anonymously in the service of their country. In the entrance of the CIA headquarters looms a huge marble wall into which seventy-one stars are carved-each representing an agent who has died in the line of duty. Official CIA records only name thirty-five of them, however. Undeterred by claims that revealing the identities of these nameless stars might compromise national security, Ted Gup sorted through thousands of documents and interviewed over 400 CIA officers in his attempt to bring their long-hidden stories to light. The result of this extraordinary work of investigation is a surprising glimpse at the real lives of secret agents, and an unprecedented history of the most compelling—and controversial—department of the US government. |
| soldiers dying at fort bragg: Dying Hard French MacLean, 2024-09-28 Of the 177 enlisted men who formed Company B in 1941, less than 7% percent were still with the unit in May 1945. Many of the absent 93% had died hard, brutal deaths in combat. In the mold of the classic Band of Brothers, Colonel French MacLean presents a dramatic, personalized history of a single company of the US Army through brutal combat in battles at locations such as Normandy, the Ardennes and Hürtgen Forests, Merode Castle, and Remagen Bridge. This is the story of the 9th Division's 39th Infantry Regiment, Company B, a true American melting pot of soldiers from diverse ethnic, religious, racial, and national backgrounds, including Black, Hispanic, White, Mexican, Lakota, Quechan, Canadian, Cuban, Hungarian, Austrian, Norwegian, Scottish, Korean, Filipino, Chinese, Italian, Irish, Greek, Polish, Jewish, Catholic, and Protestant. Of the 177 enlisted men who formed Company B in 1941, less than 7% percent were still with the unit in May 1945. Many of the 93% whose lives were lost died hard, brutal deaths in combat. Readers will learn about the heritage, upbringing, and experiences of individual soldiers along with the history of the unit. This is a personal, dramatic history. Numerous vignettes appear throughout the text, which provide contextual information about equipment, terminology, locations, and more. They function like a glossary, but with greater detail and narrative effect. In total, 40 photos and 10 maps are included, most of which are previously unpublished. French MacLean is a retired colonel in the US Army and author of more than a dozen books on the Second World War; he is a recognized expert and experienced researcher. His father, Myron, served as a private in Company B. |
| soldiers dying at fort bragg: Chosen Soldier Dick Couch, 2008-03-25 An unprecedented view of Green Beret training, drawn from the year Dick Couch spent at Special Forces training facilities with the Army’s most elite soldiers. In combating terror, America can no longer depend on its conventional military superiority and the use of sophisticated technology. More than ever, we need men like those of the Army Special Forces–the legendary Green Berets. Following the experiences of one class of soldiers as they endure this physically and mentally exhausting ordeal, Couch spells out in fascinating detail the demanding selection process and grueling field exercises, the high-level technical training and intensive language courses, and the simulated battle problems that test everything from how well SF candidates gather operational intelligence to their skills at negotiating with volatile, often hostile, local leaders. Chosen Soldier paints a vivid portrait of an elite group, and a process that forges America’s smartest, most versatile, and most valuable fighting force. |

Fayetteville has earned the nicknames of Fatalville and Fayettenam.

| soldiers dying at fort bragg: The Cue for Passion Gail Holst-Warhaft, 2000 Having set aside age-old ways of mourning, how do people in the modern world cope with tragic loss? Using traditional mourning rituals as an instructive touchstone, Gail Holst-Warhaft explores the ways sorrow is managed in our own times and how mourning can be manipulated for social and political ends. Since ancient times political and religious authorities have been alert to the dangerously powerful effects of communal expressions of grief--while valuing mourning rites as a controlled outlet for emotion. But today grief is often seen as a psychological problem: the bereaved are encouraged to seek counseling or take antidepressants. At the same time, we have witnessed some striking examples of manipulation of shared grief for political effect. One instance is the unprecedented concentration on recovery of the remains of Americans killed in the Vietnam War. In Buenos Aires the Mothers of the Disappeared forged the passion of their grief into a political weapon. Similarly the gay community in the United States, transformed by grief and rage, not only lobbied effectively for AIDS victims but channeled their emotions into fresh artistic expression. It might be argued that, in contrast to earlier cultures, modern society has largely abdicated its role in managing sorrow. But in The Cue for Passion we see that some communities, moved by the intensity of their grief, have utilized it to gain ground for their own agendas. |

| soldiers dying at fort bragg: Code Over Country Matthew Cole, 2022-02-22 A hard-hitting exposé of SEAL Team 6, the US military’s best-known brand, that reveals how the Navy SEALs were formed, then sacrificed, in service of American empire. The Navy SEALs are, in the eyes of many Americans, the ultimate heroes. When they killed Osama Bin Laden in 2011, it was celebrated as a massive victory. Former SEALs rake in cash as leadership consultants for corporations, and young military-bound men dream of serving in their ranks. But the SEALs have lost their bearings. Investigative journalist Matthew Cole tells the story of the most lauded unit, SEAL Team 6, revealing a troubling pattern of war crimes and the deep moral rot beneath authorized narratives. From their origins in World War II, the SEALs have trained to be specialized killers with short missions. As the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan became the endless War on Terror, their violence spiraled out of control. Code Over Country details the high-level decisions that unleashed the SEALs’ carnage and the coverups that prevented their crimes from coming to light. It is a necessary and rigorous investigation of the unchecked power of the military—and the harms enacted by and upon soldiers in America’s name. |
