"Looking ahead into the dark, my compass, depth gauge and diving watch confirmed that we were headed towards our target in enemy waters. The mission was clear: to eliminate ships at anchor, ships that were planned to carry out an attack against civilians in Israel. Onboard them were Zodiac rubber boats, AK-47 Kalashnikov assault rifles, RPG anti-tank rockets and plenty of ammunition. The Palestinian terrorists who had been trained for their deadly mission were set to execute their attack two nights later. This was a race against time. After a stealth approach into the harbor, I identified my target and attached the explosives. For a moment, my memories took me back in time. I was hiding in a bush, an 11-year-old boy, during a terrorist attack, escaping sure death. Activating the time-controlled detonators, I felt the closure of another circle of destiny. An attack against my home, was thwarted.

""A Raid on the Red Sea" is a thrilling, real-life story of gun-running and the intelligence and military operation that foiled it"--

An “infuriating, fast-paced” (The Washington Post) account of the Navy SEALs of Alpha platoon, the startling accusations against their chief, Eddie Gallagher, and the courtroom battle that exposed the dark underbelly of America’s special forces—from a Pulitzer Prize–winning reporter WINNER OF THE COLORADO BOOK AWARD • “Nearly impossible to put down.”—Jon Krakauer, New York Times bestselling author of Where Men Win Glory and Into the Wild In this “brilliantly written” (The New York Times Book Review) and startling account, Pulitzer Prize–winning New York Times correspondent David Philipps reveals a powerful moral crucible, one that would define the American military during the years of combat that became known as “the forever war.” When the Navy SEALs of Alpha platoon returned from their 2017 deployment to Iraq, a group of them reported their chief, Eddie Gallagher, for war crimes, alleging that he’d stabbed a prisoner in cold blood and taken lethal sniper shots at unarmed civilians. The story of Alpha’s war, both in Iraq and in the shocking trial that followed the men’s accusations, would complicate the SEALs’ post-9/11 hero narrative, turning brothers-in-arms against one another and bringing into stark relief the choice that elite soldiers face between loyalty to their unit and to their country. One of the great stories written about American special forces, Alpha is by turns a battlefield drama, a courtroom thriller, and a compelling examination of how soldiers define themselves and live with the decisions in the heat of combat.

oming home from the battlefield doesn't mean the war is over. For most veterans a new battle begins. The Department of Veterans Affairs has reported that twenty-two Veterans commit suicide every day. That's one every 65 minutes. War Veterans are at very high risk of PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). Some are plagued with "Survivor's Guilt."After leaving the killing fields, even of a "Just War," every Soldier needs to heal. The title and the concept of this book, A Time To Kill and A Time To Heal come directly from the pages of ancient manuscripts that have been vetted and verified through centuries, Ecclesiastes 3:1, 3, The Bible.This vivid "Gift Book" is written for Veterans. In it they will discover the way to genuine healing. Consider gifting this book to someone you know and love or even a soldier you don't know personally but he or she has been on duty guarding your life and freedoms. I think we would all agree it is time for these soldiers to heal. Will you help them?
