Airborne Espionage International Special Duties Operations in the World Wars


Free Download David Oliver, "Airborne Espionage: International Special Duties Operations in the World Wars"
English | ISBN: 0750938706 | 2005 | 250 pages | MOBI | 441 KB
At the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, the transport of ‘spies’ across enemy lines by aircraft was not regarded as a priority. In fact, there was no formal organisation for these flights and no communications network between the air forces and their agents – apart from homing pigeons and the occasional telephone call. The situation had not improved to any great extent by the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939. Although dedicated air units had been established to fly the spies – or ‘agents’ as they were then known – their aircraft were hand-me-downs and their aircrews considered the ‘Special Duties’ (SD) role as a poor third to the more glamorous worlds of fighter and bomber operations. However, the tasks undertaken by these men and their aircraft were often more hazardous and demanding than any other type of wartime flying. The Second World War saw the rapid development of infrastructures by the Allies to support their SD operations, mirrored in other combatant nations’ activities. Operating in all weathers, invariably at night, often at low level and usually without fighter escort, the SD squadrons and units paid a heavy price in aircrew killed and missing. By their very nature, these operations went unreported in wartime and for some considerable time thereafter. The exploits of British and Commonwealth, American, Free European, Soviet, German, Italian and Japanese airmen and units are recorded in this compelling narrative account.

Religion, Human Rights and International Law A Critical Examination of Islamic State Practices


Free Download Javaid Rehman, Susan Breau, "Religion, Human Rights and International Law: A Critical Examination of Islamic State Practices"
English | 2007 | pages: 593 | ISBN: 900415826X | PDF | 21,1 mb
Freedom of religion is a subject, which has throughout human history been a source of profound disagreements and conflict. In the modern era, religious-based intolerance continues to provide lacerative and tormenting concern to the possibility of congenial human relationships. As the present study examines, religions have been relied upon to perpetuate discrimination and inequalities, and to victimise minorities to the point of forcible assimilation and genocide. The study provides an overview of the complexities inherent in the freedom of religion within international law and an analysis of the cultural-religious relativist debate in contemporary human rights law. As many of the chapters examine, Islamic State practices have been a major source of concern. In the backdrop of the events of 11 September 2001, a considerable focus of this volume is upon the Muslim world, either through the emergent State practices and existing constitutional structures within Muslim majority States or th
