Publisher: Iraq war books & military fiction
Number of Pages: 78

The four-man team comprising elite British special forces regiment 22 SAS wake up to learn that they are being summoned that lunchtime to a top secret meeting with their commanding officer As they approach the lecture theatre a distinct increase in security forewarns them of the gravity of their impending liaison

After the doors are locked and the silence inhaled they are given the news that after a long consideration on the parts of various western governments they have been selected for a mission so important it would not be superfluous to call it "once in a lifetime" Their objective: to assassinate Saddam Hussein president of Iraq Their timeframe: less than one week

As always in the SAS success is demanded as standard However the consequences of failure in "Operation Long Shadow" range somewhere between their own barbarous torture and all-out nuclear war Can they pull it off And if so at what cost Author Stuart Mills takes the reader along for every step of their remarkable journey; from the beer-banter of their down-time bonding to the arduous-in-the-extreme training exercises and eventually to their standing in the "shadow of the mosque" itself

    Binding: Paperback
    Edition: 1
    Author(s): Colleen Cummings, Alan Dyson, Liz Todd
    Publisher: Routledge
    Number of Pages: 152

    This book for the first time ever critically examines the role of full service and extended schools The authors draw on their extensive international evaluations of this radical new phenomenon to ask:
  • What do extended or full service schools hope to achieve and why should services based on schools be any more effective than services operating from other community bases
  • What pattern of services and activities is most effective
  • What does extended schooling mean for children and families who are not highly disadvantaged or for schools outside the most disadvantaged areas
  • How can schools lead extended services at the same time as doing their day job of teaching children
  • Why should schools be concerned with family and community issues
  • Beyond the advocacy of extended provision what real evidence is there that schools of this kind make a difference and how can school leaders evaluate the impact of their work
  • This book will be of interest to anyone involved in extended and full service school provision as a practitioner policy-maker or researcher
