Powell D: SAS: My Trial By Fire: True
Stories and Life Lessons from SAS Selec

SAS: My Trial By Fire: True Stories and Life Lessons from SAS Selection

Glenn C. Loury is often radically opposed to the political mainstream and delights in upending what's expected of a Black public figure. But more than the arguments themselves-on affirmative action, institutional racism, Trumpism-his public life has been characterised by fearlessness and a willingness to recalibrate strongly held and forcefully argued beliefs.
Loury grew up on the south side of Chicago, earned a PhD in MIT's economics programme and became the first Black tenured professor of economics at Harvard at the age of thirty-three. He has been, at turns, a young father, a drug addict, an adulterer, a psychiatric patient, a born-again Christian, a lapsed born-again Christian and a Black Reaganite. In Late Admissions, Loury examines what it means to chart a sense of self over the course of a tempestuous but well-considered, life.

An Instant New York Times BestsellerThe author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Saved tells the remarkable story of his harrowing recovery after surviving a deadly Russian missile attack in Ukraine, and shares the most profound lessons he learned about the power of resilience.&nbsp;After suffering horrific, nearly-fatal injuries while covering the war in Ukraine in 2022, Benjamin Hall was told he’d need to spend two years in a hospital learning how to walk again. Instead, he made it home to his family in just six months. Sustained by his positive attitude and relentless will to&nbsp;keep moving forward, Hall impressed and inspired all those who followed his story and progress, with many wondering how they could bottle his seemingly superhuman resolve.Now with a greater degree of perspective, Hall analyzes the psychological aftermath of the Russian missile attack that profoundly altered his life. A clear-eye work of journalism and personal meditation elevated by remarkable storytelling,&nbsp;Resolute&nbsp;is Hall’s probing inquiry into why he is alive and thriving today. As he confronts his own mortality, Hall analyzes the key factors that allowed him to survive the missile attack, endure multiple surgeries, adapt to new prosthetics, and cope with the psychological burdens of severe trauma.&nbsp;Each chapter features powerful stories from Hall’s arduous recovery, interwoven with expert advice and insights from the extraordinary people he encountered along the way—doctors who heal broken bodies and damaged souls; therapists who push despairing patients to discover the depths of perseverance; scientists who have studied how the body and mind are sustained under unfathomable duress; and families who exhibit exceptional strength in the face of sudden tragedy.&nbsp;Resolute&nbsp;is more than a survival story—it is a testament to the saving power of the human spirit. From embracing post-traumatic optimism to discovering untapped stores of tenacity, this book is a roadmap for those looking to discover and fortify their own powers of resilience and persevere against the odds. As Hall shares the vivid and inspiring account of his own survival, he implores us to consider that these reservoirs of strength and resolve are inherent to our humanity—and reside within each of us, too.

Trench Raiders is a wargame of skirmishes and raiding in the trenches of World War I. Gathering information and pressuring the enemy lines, as well as patrolling and trench raiding were part and parcel of the front line in World War I. Trench Raiders focuses on this core, and often overlooked, aspect of combat in the Great War. Designed to be played with forces of 10 or so figures a-side, Trench Raiders features comprehensive d6 based rules for trench based skirmishes for both competitive and solo/co-op play. A key component to these rules is the robust trench deployment system which allows players to make defences and fortifications to their exact specifications. Also included are army lists of the Western Front, a multitude of scenario types, and a campaign system so that your raiders can progress and develop over the course of the war.
