Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A groundbreaking portrait reveals how a key innovator shaped modern airborne and Special Forces doctrine, training, and identity through pioneering tactics and leadership.Lieutenant General William Pelham Yarborough stands as a titan of the United States' military innovation in the twentieth-century. His name is synonymous with the development of America's airborne and Special Forces capabilities. Yet, despite his monumental influence through a career spanning four decades of pivotal global conflict and Cold War maneuvering, Yarborough remains for many a historical enigma figure whose name graces institutions but whose full, complex story resonates with an intriguing blend of mystery, myth, and speculation.Yarborough pioneered the modern American paratrooper, being instrumental in designing the iconic US Army parachutist badge, jump boots, and specialized airborne equipment (for which he held patents), effectively sculpting the image of America's Second World War airborne soldier. He commanded the 509th Parachute Infantry Battalion in key operations from North Africa (Operation Torch - America's first combat parachute mission) through Italy (Anzio) and into Southern France (Operation Dragoon). Yarborough later led the 473rd Infantry Regiment in the final victorious offensives in Italy.As Commander of the Special Warfare Center from 1961 to 1965, Yarborough tirelessly developed core Special Forces doctrine, established rigorous and innovative training programs (including the vital Language School), and spearheaded the expansion of the force. In this respect, Yarborough played the decisive role in securing President John F. Kennedy's official authorization for the Green Beret as the distinctive headgear of Special Forces, cementing their unique identity.Held also critical high-level roles, including as the U.N. Military Armistice Commission's representative in Korea, Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence during a turbulent period, Commander of I Corps in Korea, and Deputy CINC/Chief of Staff of US Army Pacific.William Yarborough was also an influential military writer, being the author of books and numerous articles on unconventional warfare, airborne operations, and military history throughout his career and active retirement.Drawn extensively on Lieutenant General Yarborough's personal and professional papers, in this meticulously researched account Christopher Mullins has produced the first biography of a remarkable man whose full, complex story has remained largely unchronicled - until now.…

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. This book is about the meanings of masculinities within the social networks of the streets of an American city (St Louis, Missouri), and how these shaped perceptions and enactments of violence. Based on a large number of interviews with offenders the author provides a rich description of life on the streets, contextualizing criminal violence within this deviant subculture, and with a specific focus on issues of gender. The book provides one of the most detailed descriptions yet of the forms masculinity takes in disadvantages communities in the United States. It establishes how street based gender identity motivated and guided men through violent encounters, exploring how men's relationships with women and their families instigated violence. One key issue addressed is why men resorted to violence in certain situations and not in others, exploring the range of choices open to them and how these opportunities were interpreted. The book makes a major contribution to the study of the relationship between masculinities and violence, making use of a much larger sample than elsewhere.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Current media and political discourse on crime has long ignored crimes committed by States themselves, despite their greater financial and human toll. For the past two decades, scholars have examined how and why States violate their own laws and international law and explored what can be done to reduce or prevent these injustices. Through a collection of essays by leading scholars in the field, State Crime offers a set of cases exemplifying state criminality along with various methods for controlling governmental transgressions. With topics ranging from crimes of aggression to nuclear weapons to the construction and implementation of social controls, this volume is an indispensable resource for those who examine the behavior of States and those who study crime in its varied forms.…
