The American intervention in Lebanon in 1958. Lebanese Muslims had pushed the government to join the newly created United Arab Republic (Egypt and Syria), while the Christians wanted to keep Lebanon aligned with Western Powers. A Muslim rebellion and the toppling of a pro-Western government in Iraq caused President Chamoun to call for US assistance. President Eisenhower authorised Operation Blue Bat on July 15, 1958 and the US deployed some 15,000 troops into the Lebanon for a period of nearly three months. Airborne and Marine units took part in a model interservice operation.

An Insider's View of the Failure to Curb Global Jihad. At the end of the Cold War the proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction replaced the Soviet Union as the west's new enemy. The author who served in the Defence Intelligence Staff, the British Ministry of Defence’s top intelligence assessment organisation, examines how Western intelligence misinterpreted every landmark event on the road to 9/11 and failed to curb global jihad. The attack provoked the ‘War on Terror’ which has yet to curb the threat of global jihad or bring Osama bin Laden to justice.

The Tusas' account of the epic siege of Berlin which started in June 1948. The Berliners and the Western Allies stood firm whilst everything the city needed was flown in. This was not just food but coal, petrol and everything else needed for the day to day existence of more than 2 million people. A relief column of a size and scale never before attempted brought the siege to an end in May, 1949, but the blockade helped shape Europe for the next 40 years or so.

The author was Admissions officer at the Korean POW Hospital in 1952. In defiance of a screening process that would asssure voluntary repariation the Communist prisoners ceaselessly demonstrated and refused medical care. In 1952 they conducted a mutiny that completely halted the operation of the hospital. In order not to jeopardise the armistice negotiations at Panmunjom the matter was downplayed and virtually ignored by the press.
