Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was selected to be the CIA's first chief of station in Sarajevo in mid-1995. The Bosnian Serbs were shelling the city around the clock from the surrounding hilltops, and random sniper fire made it impossible to walk down its cobblestone streets in safety. #2 I was required to stop off at CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, to plan the operation's specifics and update my lapsed medical clearances. I knew the country and the language, and I had a family who loved me. I was confident that I would be able to infiltrate Sarajevo. #3 In Split, we met up with two US military special operators who drove over from Zagreb in a brand-new armored Jeep Cherokee. We thought we'd decrease our odds of being shot by inserting our vehicle into a UN convoy that was scheduled to bring relief supplies to the isolated city of Sarajevo. #4 The final leg of my journey to Sarajevo began when I left Split in the early morning hours of July 10 for the sleepy farming village of Tarcin, on the Bosnian-controlled side of Mount Igman.
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Mack was flying a Chinook helicopter along with Razor 03, code-named Razor, to drop off special operations teams in the mountains on both sides of the Shah-i-Kot valley. He was tasked with delivering the SEALs to their offset LZ. #2 Slab and his teammates were stuck with a broken helicopter and the threat of daylight, which they dreaded. The other pilots in the area proposed an easy solution: a front-end swap, in which the pilots and their passengers would switch to a healthy aircraft. #3 The team was delayed in reaching the LZ by 2200 Zulu, which meant they would have to climb 2,000 feet to an upper ridge and find a defensible position in which to hide and observe the peak before taking it over. #4 The team was not able to reach the mountaintop in time, so Slab decided to push forward with the mission anyway, despite the risks. He called back to Bagram to his highest commander, Air Force General Gregory Trebon, who was deputy commander of JSOC and the commander of Task Force 11.

Bertran du Guesclin, Olivier de Clisson, Artur de Richemont. Trois hommes de Bretagne qui successivement, ont été tous les trois Connétables de France, c'est-à-dire les trois « maîtres de l'heure » durant les trois générations de la Guerre de Cent ans. De la Connétablie de France - fonction qui marche après celle du Roi - ils ont, comme trois frères, présenté une triple incarnation. Car, de la maîtrise de l'heure, au cours du dramatique conflit qui a duré un siècle, ils ont possédé en triple cette irrésistible véhémence qui contraint le Destin à ployer le genou. Sur leur terre natale en péril, ces trois frères épiques semblent s'être levés successivement de cette Table Ronde autour de laquelle la Légende Dorée du Pays d'Armor a assis, heaume en tête et glaive au flanc, les douze preux que commandait le grand Roi de la Chevalerie Celtique légendaire. Levés pour combattre et se remplacer l'un l'autre, ils ont triomphé lorsqu'à la fin sonna l'heure de la victoire.
