Ghosts of war : chasing my father's legend through Vietnam / by Reguly, Eric,author.;
"In the 1960s, there were few bigger journalists than the Toronto Star's Robert Reguly, who landed a series of international scoops and was right there in the Ambassador Hotel kitchen when Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated. But no story loomed larger in Reguly's life, or in the world's consciousness, than the war in Vietnam, which he covered from startlingly close range in 1967. Vietnam haunted Robert, and his family, for the rest of their lives. Half a century later, his son Eric Reguly--himself an esteemed foreign correspondent--retraces his late father's footsteps through Vietnam's combat zones. Ghosts of War is the story of Eric's emotional quest to understand the complicated and distant man who raised him and guided him into journalism, as well as a reflection on his father's complex legacy."--

Enemies and neighbors : Arabs and Jews in Palestine and Israel, 1917-2017 / by Black, Ian,1953-;
Includes bibliographical references, Internet addresses and index.Enemies and Neighbors is a big, textured, and, crucially, balanced account of over 100 years of the Israel-Palestine conflict, published on the 100th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration (the famous pledge made by the British government on Nov. 2, 1917 expressing sympathy for a national Jewish home in Palestine). 2017 also marks the 50th anniversary of the Six-Day War in June 1967, during which Israel seized its current borders. Much of the existing literature on the Israel-Palestine conflict focuses on the era post-Israeli independence (starting in 1948), has a clear bias, and/or comes at the subject from an academic angle. This is a major, engagingly written trade history covering the entire arc of the conflict up to the present, and Black has done an extraordinary job of telling it from both sides.LSC

Typhoon fury / by Cussler, Clive,author.; Morrison, Boyd,1967-author.;
Hired to search for a collection of paintings worth half a billion dollars, Juan Cabrillo and the crew of the Oregon soon find themselves in much deeper waters. The vicious leader of a Filipino insurgency is not only using them to finance his attacks, he has stumbled upon one of the most lethal secrets of World War II: a Japanese-developed drug, designed, but never used, to turn soldiers into super-warriors. To stop him, the Oregon must not only take on the rebel commander, but a South African mercenary intent on getting his own hands on the drug, a massive swarm of torpedo drones targeting the U.S. Navy, an approaching megastorm--and, just possibly, a war that could envelop the entire Asian continent.

What does Israel fear from Palestine? / by Shehadeh, Raja,1951-author.;
Includes bibliographical references."Since the formation of the state of Israel in 1948, the Nakba, or disaster as the Palestinians call it, there have been many opportunities to move towards peace and equality between Palestine and Israel. After the 1967 War, the Oslo Agreement and even the 7 October 2023 war. All of them have been rejected by Israel which is why life is unbearable in the West Bank now and there is genocide in Gaza. This book explores what went wrong again and again, and why. And how it could still be different. It is human nature to feel prejudice. But in this haunting meditation on Palestine and Israel, Shehadeh suggests that this does not mean the two nations cannot live together to their mutual benefit and co-existence. In graceful, devastatingly observed prose, this is a fresh reflection on the conflict in a time of great need"--
