Book excerpt: A riveting Vietnam War story--and one of the most dramatic in aviation history--told by a New York Times bestselling author and a prominent aviation historian Every war has its "bridge"--Old North Bridge at Concord, Burnside's Bridge at Antietam, the railway bridge over Burma's River Kwai, the bridge over Germany's Rhine River at Remagen, and the bridges over Korea's Toko Ri. In Vietnam it was the bridge at Thanh Hoa, called Dragon's Jaw. For seven long years hundreds of young US airmen flew sortie after sortie against North Vietnam's formidable and strategically important bridge, dodging a heavy concentration of anti-aircraft fire and enemy MiG planes. Many American airmen were shot down, killed, or captured and taken to the infamous "Hanoi Hilton" POW camp. But after each air attack, when the smoke cleared and the debris settled, the bridge stubbornly remained standing. For the North Vietnamese it became a symbol of their invincibility; for US war planners an obsession; for US airmen a testament to American mettle and valor. Using after-action reports, official records, and interviews with surviving pilots, as well as untapped Vietnamese sources, Dragon's Jaw chronicles American efforts to destroy the bridge, strike by bloody strike, putting readers into the cockpits, under fire. The story of the Dragon's Jaw is a story rich in bravery, courage, audacity, and sometimes luck, sometimes tragedy. The "bridge" story of Vietnam is an epic tale of war against a determined foe.

Book excerpt: Set in the context of a powerful true story, this spiritual-warfare, self-help book is designed to be a step-by-step journey to spiritual freedom and mental health. Want to recognize and effectively respond to the top two Spirits invading your Christian Home? What do you think of when you hear the word "Witchcraft"? Tarot cards? Chicken bones? Ouija boards? Witchcraft is more than the obvious. Today, witchcraft has a deceptive new face. It has been repackaged and even "Christianized". The new form of witchcraft is more dangerous. Witches and practitioners of "the craft" are trained to infiltrate the Body of Christ. Satan uses these "wolves in sheep's clothing" to destroy spiritual leaders and wreck Christian homes. This book tells the sobering account of a committed, Christian leader who was nearly destroyed by such infiltration. Through telling her powerful story, compelling Scriptures and cutting-edge research, Shauna Manfredine exposes Christianized witchcraft and identifies the two ruling spirits leading the attack against Christians today.
