The story of the United States Air Force (USAF) stretches back to aerial operations prior to the First World War—well before the USAF became a separate service—and looks forward to a new era of airpower in space. Fighting from Above presents a concise account of this expansive history, offering a new perspective on how the air forces of the United States created an independent way of warfare over time. From the earliest battles of the USAF’s predecessor organizations to its modern incarnation, Brian D. Laslie identifies four distinct and observable ways of war that developed over four distinct epochs. Beginning with the development of early air power (1906–1941), he highlights the creation of roles and missions, with bombardment theory and practice ascendant. An era of strategic dominance (1942–1975) followed in which the ideas of strategic bombardment ruled the air force; when such notions were unceremoniously proven false during the Vietnam-era conflicts, a period of tactical ascendancy (1975–2019) began. Finally, Laslie considers the current environment, where much of the story of the USAF remains unwritten as it grapples with the prospects and challenges posed by drones and the U.S. Space Force. While detailing combat operations, Fighting from Above also pays close attention to technology, politics, rivalries, logistics, policy, organization, equipping, and training. Thorough, concise, and innovative in its approach, it is an authoritative, exceptionally readable history of the development of American airpower.

The story of Gen. George S. Patton’s magnificent Third Army as it advanced across Nazi-occupied Europe and into Hitler’s redoubt. Includes photos. As America’s own answer to the Blitzkrieg, Third Army’s actions from the Normandy coast across France and Germany to Austria gave a new dimension to the term “fluid warfare.” They only needed one general order—to seek out the enemy, trap, and destroy them. This they did, relentlessly overcoming every obstacle thrown in their way. Third Army’s story is one of teamwork, of armor, infantry, and aircraft working together with a perfection that amazed even the Germans, who’d always considered themselves the masters of the mobile offensive. Though Third Army is often remembered for its tank spearheads, like the 4th Armored Division, these pages also give credit to the brave infantry divisions which butted their heads against fortresses such as Metz with ultimate success. It is also the story of a triumph of administration as thousands of trucks carried forward the vital supplies to keep the army on the move and fighting. When a German counteroffensive nearly burst through the US lines in the Ardennes, it was Patton’s Third Army that turned on its heel and immediately drove in the “Bulge,” ending Hitler’s last great hope for success in the west. Afterward nothing could stop it as it crossed the Rhine and overran the Reich. Much of Third Army’s greatness, driving force, and will to win, was owed to one man—Gen. George Smith Patton Jr.—and a significant part of this book is devoted to him alone. In these pages, a renowned military historian gives a vivid impression in words and pictures of what it was like to live and fight with Patton’s men. Full of eyewitness accounts, photographs, and maps, it relates the full story of how America’s most dynamic fighting formation led the Allied effort against the Nazis’ seemingly invincible European empire.

These six stories are about women fighting in underground fight venues and are based on knowledge of real fights between women and the conditions and circumstances under which these fights actually occur. Tens of thousands of underground fights occur around the world every year. Simply put, there are three basic fight venues: above ground, underground and below ground. This description is not going to be a guide on these venues, only to make the reader aware of them. Above ground fights - boxing and MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) - have strict rules and safety considerations that are determined by and sanctioned by their governing organizations. Underground fights have fewer rules and in most cases the rules of a fight will be specific to that local venue. There are no sanctioning bodies. Wobbly and dizzy fighters can go on. There are many cases where a fighter who has been knocked out has been revived with smelling salts or ice water and gone on to knock out his or her opponent. Unlike gyms and small and large arenas that host above ground fights, underground combat takes place in many types of settings, such as in people's basements or the back of warehouses on mats designating the fight area. They have been in the back rooms of bars or in the basements. Basically, anywhere a fight area can be roped or marked off can serve as a venue for underground combat. Below ground fights do not follow any specific rules and are allowed to pursue any and all means at the disposal of the fighters. For example, if the fighters agree on using chain wrapped fists, the fight will go on using this weapon. Knock downs and knockouts do not necessarily end the fight. A fighter can be knocked out for a significant period of time, be revived and end up knocked out again and again. The six stories in this book take place in underground venues, but as with any such setting that is out of the mainstream, there is a blurring of the lines with the rules of a specific fight applying to only that fight. The ten count rule is often waived for longer counts or no count at all. An incapacitated fighter is forced to continue unless rendered completely incapable of fighting any further by being knocked unconscious to the point she cannot be easily revived. I say "she" because these stories cover only women's fights. These are not mixed fights where a man and a woman fight each other. This heinous gladiator type mentality relegates to below ground events and are rarely if ever the purview of underground fights and never with above ground settings. In these stories, two of the six events are grudge matches and one girl rendering another unconscious does not end the fight. The downed girl is revived to fight on as is the case with countless underground battles. None of the stories involve weapons of any kind as I consider them forbidden. More often than not the word "combat" more aptly applies than does boxing, because it is usually a fight to the finish. There is no winning by points and no TKOs. Despite the brutality, the winning woman often has an erotic experience seeing the loser knocked unconscious. Many women report feeling highly aroused to the point of having their clitoris swell. I won't submit further, because I do not want to ruin the stories. Just be aware they do reflect actual conditions in many underground fight venues. I could say underground/below ground because in many cases the two are combined in practice. Women often fight topless or even naked and just as often use bare or only taped fists. There is a brutality in underground combat venues that far surpasses that of above ground fights and hopefully these stories will pass beyond the level of mere entertainment to bringing an awareness of these fights to the reader. What is done with the information is up to the reader.
