24 Declassified: Storm Force (24 Declassified)

A Failed Attempt
I am giving this book by David Jacobs 2-stars because, among other reasons, this title does not fit in with the "24 Declassified" Series. This series, together with the TV series is based on fast-paced action. This book has serious flaws in the storyline as well. Some items are picked up and dropped and until the very end there is no real mention of the threat that is out there. Also, one page ...

Even better!
Wow..I just finished this book today and it was awesome. It's better than the other ones. The plot is very interesting. Instead of saving the world from terrorists in LA, Bauer gets sent to the Big Apple to fix all the problems that the CTU branch in New York has! It's very interesting and the book has kinda a twist in the middle. You think that it starts out as a book where the enemy is just a ...

Cute book with only one flaw
I purchased this book for my classroom library. As with all the books I buy, I read this one before I put it out for my students. It's a very cute, funny book, with only one flaw. There is one page missing from the book, and in its place is a duplicate of a previous page. However, since the book is a book of lists, it is not too much of a problem. I teach middle school, and all of the ...

Fast Paced Action, Great for "24" fans ...
My gripe with this book is a couple of the sexist sentences ... On page 179, Nina says to Jack Bauer "You are going to want to make out with me when I show you this". A few such bits to me were so exasperating & just plain stupid that they distracted me from the otherwise good plot. I'm no militant femnist, but come on! And I was also suprised to see former Detroit Piston's Bad Boy Bill ...

Need a "24" Fix Between Episodes?
Jack Bauer and the rest of the Counter-Terrorism Unit have 24 hours to stop a plot that would devastate the citizens of Los Angeles and the entire nation. However, no one is entirely sure what kind of threat is forthcoming. Is it a plan to shoot down dozens of domestic airliners...or something even more terrifying? The hunt for answers will take Jack Bauer to New York City where as Jack scours ...

Larry Hama returns with the original Joe crew
Most people not familiar with the G.I. Joe comic books would perhaps tend to think of it as nothing more than a toy line or cartoon. The fact is, the G.I. Joe comics of the 1980's were some of the hottest selling around, and for good reason; author Larry Hama. Hama was directly involved in the creation process of the Joe and Cobra lineups as well as the military hardware designs that created a ...

Jack Bauer: Wild Card
I'm a big fan of Kiefer Sutherland's Jack Bauer character on the television show 24. I like the way Bauer is driven to get the job done no matter what, no matter who gets hurt. It sets him up as great flawed hero among his family and peers, but all of us who love the character know the price he's paying to stop the bad guys. I also have to admit that I can't stand waiting from week to week ...

How it all began...
...And then there was no turning back! This book marks the beginning saga of how Jack joins the then-fledgeling CTU, leaving behind the overseas skulduggery of the CIA, when he realizes that he can do what he does best while in the US. The war is no more oveseas, but here and now - and he can perhaps do more here than there. This story is a particularly well-written 24-declassified mission ...

Bay Of Pigs Declassified 2
this is my second report on the book bay of pigs declassified as I don't think my first was quite fair I found fault in that he didn't say any thing about my unit of 45 people I think we were the only ones know one knew about. every one else had been given away. but that didn't help we were caught and killed any how all but myself that is. to get back to mister Peter Kornbluh's book it was a ...

National Geographic, 2008

There's always someone willing to sell out your secrets...
Secrets are the currency by which countries maintain control of their borders and war with other nations. In the book Declassified: 50 Top-Secret Documents That Changed History, Thomas B. Allen lists 50 documents, once secret but now declassified, that had large impacts on people, countries, and the world. Throughout, I kept wondering how many more documents are hidden that would have the same ...

THE MYSTERY REVEALED...SOMEWHAT...
He's been the most popular, enigmatic, and certainly most mysterious member of the G.I. Joe team...well, forever. He is Snake Eyes and in Devil's Due's latest trade paperback, his story is finally revealed...mostly. This 192 page trade paperback collects the six issue Snake Eyes Declassified mini-series and is written by Brandon Jerwa, with art by Emiliano Santalucia and Robert Atkins. What ...

"Best of the Best" from CIA Insider Think Pieces
Brad, a respected scholar in his own right, was given unique access to all past publications of the CIA's internal journal, Studies in Intelligence, and has produced an absolutely lovely collection of the best thoughts inside CIA from 1955-1992, organized into sections for imagery intelligence collection, overt human intelligence collection, clandestine human intelligence collection, human ...

This Man Can Write
Putting Jack and his CTU co-stars undercover at a casino in Las Vegas was a risky choice for this 24 novel, but it paid off. Frankly, I applaud this writer for trying something different. Vanishing Point has lots of twists and turns, high-wire threats and violent action, and I enjoyed it. As the number of 24 seasons and books mount up, repeat scenarios are a huge issue. The TV show is ...

Very Dark Time in U.S. History
After September 11th 2001 the big question on the mind of American's was, `Why do they hate us?' Although the bloody military coup of Gen. Augusto Pinochet was over 30 years ago (ironically September 11th 1973) the lessons and ramifications still resound today. The main villain of the story is Nixon National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger but more so it's the belief that a purity of ideology ...

Psywar on Cuba : The Declassified History of U.S. Anti-Castro Propaganda

4 reviews

Ocean Press, 2002

Exposing Schemes
The hours of research that the author of Psywar on Cuba must have spent in pursuit of the declassified US government documents pertinent to this book is a mission in itself. The bombardment of propaganda and psycological trickery that the CIA exercised against Cuba is all layed out thouroughly by Mr. Elliston. I recommend this book to anyone interested in Cold War madness. Additionally, the ...

The Manhattan Project - Trinity Report - Declassified

MacMay, 2008

Trinity was the first test of technology for a nuclear weapon. It was conducted by the United States on July 16, 1945, at a location 35 miles (56 km) southeast of Socorro, New Mexico, on what is now White Sands Missile Range, headquartered near Alamogordo. Trinity was a test of an implosion-design plutonium bomb. The Fat Man bomb, using the same conceptual design, was dropped on Nagasaki, Japan, a few weeks later. The detonation was equivalent ...

The Iran Contra Scandal
This is a great companion to most books about Iran-Contra. It has all the archival research nessassary from declassified sources and Freedom of Information Act requests. It's great to see this material in one place in its original texts.
