DOWNLOAD EBOOKWeapons of mass destruction are not new in the arsenal of war; there has been time for rogue groups to acquire them. These weapons can already be in the wrong hands and any homeland defense must recognize the threat. Jack lived with chronic Post Traumatic Stress Disorder for over forty years before he heard of the diagnosis but when he did, he knew he had it. With competent psychiatric evaluations he was able to know this for sure in 1999. Only since 1980 has the disorder been recognized as a separate stress injury. Jack's Veterans' Administration evaluation for his problems in 1977 was "chronic anxiety neurosis" and close enough to know it was the same disorder. This book illustrates how this stress injury can be tolerated for a long time and what damage this can do to the lives of the victim, his family, his career and to society. Early treatment can provide relief from this long-term disorder and it is important to get competent help. Military veterans mistake PTSD for only being a combat related injury. Jack never was in a combat zone but the trauma he experienced was just as harmful.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKTed Landson, a troubled oil company CEO, is thrown into a bizarre chain of events when his private plane is shot down over Colorado. Three single professional people backpacking in the mountains save his life. Heather, a Dallas programmer, finds herself thrown together with Ted. They travel to Nigeria, Africa where they must deliver secret papers to the Nigerian President. They are kidnapped and held for ransom. Their efforts to elude their captors put them in the middle of an elephant stampede as their friends in the U.S. fly in to rescue them. Back in the U.S., Ted discovers a bitter enemy as he exposes an international crime organization. Also, much to his surprise, he becomes increasingly attracted to his beautiful young companion. Lawsuits, attacks on his integrity, and a SEC investigation caused Ted to resign from Lawtex Oil Co. The loss of wealth and power cause him to reexamine his priorities in life. When a second hostage situation involving both his companion and his ex-wife, Angie takes place, Ted is forced to rethink his loyalty and love for Angie and his extended family. Ted's integrity and his love for both women tear at his heart forcing him to make a tough decision. Encouraged by Heather, Ted remarries his ex-wife in the hospital and begins a healing process with his family. Two months later Angie dies from her wounds. Heather, ignored by Ted and heart broken from the loss of her new friend, yields to her convictions and accepts a teaching position at a mission school in Nigeria. There is a heart-rending scene, as two people, deeply in love, struggle to control their feelings for each other.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFormer star correspondent for CNN, Siobhan Darrow covered the world’s hottest war zones over the last two decades, reporting from the front lines in Moscow, Chechnya, the Balkans, Albania, Israel, and Northern Ireland. Her fearless pursuit of stories placed her in countless life-threatening situations, prompting Darrow to wonder what about her character so attracted her to adrenaline, and so alienated her from the family life a part of her longed for. Darrow approaches this question with the same honesty–and seat-of-the-pants courage–that established her reputation as a premiere reporter, and the answers she arrives at form this riveting memoir of a woman assigned to cover history in the making, even as she chases down the most elusive “get” of all: her own happiness.
