The rifle had some innovative features at the time of its introduction (1956) ; it was over 1 lb (0.45 kg) lighter than most other infantry rifles, it was significantly easier to control in automatic fire, was more accurate in semi-auto mode, and arguably handled better than any other weapon of the period. The unique features of the AR-10 would eventually be developed into the U. S. Army's M16. Over its production life, the original AR-10 was built in relatively small numbers, with fewer than 10,000 rifles assembled. "; 28 pages . more information

Boulder, CO: Omega Group. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1979. Softcover. Very good. From the Wikipedia website: "Soldier of Fortune magazine, abbreviated SOF, is a periodical published by Colorado-based Omega Group Ltd. And devoted to coverage of military conflicts around the globe, including conventional war, low-intensity warfare, counter insurgency and terrorism. The motto of the magazine is "The Journal of Professional Adventurers." The magazine was founded in 1975 by Lieutenant Colonel, U. S. Army Reserve, (Ret. ) Robert K. Brown, a Green Beret who served in Vietnam. After Brown retired from active duty, he began a circular with information on opportunities for mercenary employment in Oman where the Sultan Qaboos had recently overthrown his father and was battling a communist insurgency. Brown's small circular soon evolved into a large glossy magazine. Significant in the early development of SOF was the magazine's unprecedented recruitment of foreign nationals to serve in the Rhodesian Security Forces during the Rhodesian Bush War. ~ The magazine is staunchly anti-communist. Some see SOF as a continuation of the men's adventure pulp magazines that gradually fell out of favor in the late 1960s." . more information

On investigation I came to the conclusion that this claim was unfounded. . . Gradually as I went more closely into the material available I came to the conclusion that the Egypt affair is not a regrettable exception. On the contrary it is but one more example of a systematic falsification and over-valuing of himself and his achievements which Lawrence practiced from a very early date. In other words the national hero turned out at least half a fraud. The scope of my projected book was insensibly changed and from a biography it became a biographical enquiry, the facts for which had to be tracked down with the minute care of a literary detective.

For two decades, while a fearful world prepared for nuclear winter, an elite team of Russian bioweaponeers began to till a new killing field: a bleak tract sown with powerful seeds of mass destruction--by doctors who had committed themselves to creating a biological Armageddon. Biohazard is the never-before-told story of Russia's darkest, deadliest, and most closely guarded Cold War secret. No one knows more about Russia's astounding experiments with biowarfare than Ken Alibek. Now the mastermind behind Russia's germ warfare effort reveals two decades of shocking breakthroughs...how Moscow's leading scientists actually reengineered hazardous microbes to make them even more virulent...the secrets behind the discovery of an invisible, untraceable new class of biological agents just right for use in political assassinations...the startling story behind Russia's attempt to turn a sample of the AIDS virus into the ultimate bioweapon. And in a chilling work of real-world intrigue, Biohazard offers us all a rare glimpse into a shadowy scientific underworld where doctors manufacture mass destruction, where witnesses to errors are silenced forever, and where ground zero is closer than we ever dared believe.

From Booklist: "Two historians present an incisive, provocative account of the U. S. Rise to global preeminence over five centuries. Central to their thesis is the assertion that military conflict has been essential in determining the cultural and political evolution of North America. It was imperial ambition rather than a love of liberty that led to British victory in the French and Indian War, ensuring Anglo-American supremacy in the eastern half of North America; paradoxically, that British victory led directly to the American Revolution. Similarly, our imperial ambition, which provoked the Mexican-American War, intensified our sectional rivalries, and the Civil War followed. Although the authors' views deserve to be challenged by those holding alternative visions, Anderson and Cayton have provided a well-written and important reinterpretation of our past.
