Book excerpt: There’s popping out for a quick pint, and then there’s this – a gloriously preposterous 27,000 mile journey across 25 countries to grab a beer in pubs (bars) at opposite ends of the world. We’re talking an epic adventure, from an abandoned Soviet mine 700 miles from the North Pole, to a remote pub at South America’s southernmost tip. A journey undertaken in a TVR sports car, a car that many might consider untrustworthy just to drive to the shops. The journey packed a lot into its eight months. From braving the sheer drops of Bolivia’s Death Road, to drag racing the locals in Texas. From roaring across flooded salt flats, to sailing the straits of Magellan. From the highs of the planet’s best driving roads, to the lows of life in No-Man’s-Land, trapped between borders by red tape and bureaucracy. And from looking out for Polar Bears in the High Arctic, to dodging penguins in Tierra del Fuego. The story of the Pub2Pub Expedition is an inspirational account of where your dreams can take you if only you believe in them. Chronicling the epic journey made by Ben Coombs in his TVR Chimaera, this book is both an exciting adventure and a fascinating snapshot of the life and culture of the countries that he drove through.

Book excerpt: "...as satisfying and moving as a good novel." - Classic Cars Magazine."...a highly recommended read for any Porsche or travel fan." - PurelyPorsche.Survival of the Quickest - Across Africa. In a Porsche.15,000 miles. 26 countries. One unforgettable adventure.In autumn 2008, Laura Reddin and Ben Coombs set off to drive from England to South Africa in a classic Porsche 944. No such journey had ever been made before, and everyone said it was impossible. They said the two young adventurers would end up broken down in the middle of some baking desert, or be robbed at knifepoint. They were right on both counts. But what they couldn't predict was that through the highs and the lows, the breakdowns and the bureaucracy, the red tape and the robberies, Laura and Ben would grow closer than they could imagine, and find romance amid Africa's epic vistas.From the edgy streets of Syria to the rutted tracks of Kenya, via the war-torn sands of the Sudan, Survival of the Quickest is the first book to describe the absolute cutting edge of adventurous road trips in gritty, honest detail. At turns inspiring, absorbing and thought-provoking, it shows just what can be achieved with a tough old car, a well-worn passport and a whole heap of determination.

Book excerpt: Our unified or joint system of command is at the heart of our ability to plan and conduct the operations required to implement the national military strategy. The joint system is disciplined by the principle that allows decisions to be made at the lowest possible level so that flexibility is given, along with the necessary authority, initiative, and responsibility, to those who can use it to the best advantage - the joint commanders on the scene.Our commanders exist to be ready to fight and fight successfully. Should deterrence fail, they are the ones who will carry out our war plans. We must make sure that commanders get the forces they need and that the forces of the four services are integrated properly. We must realize the full potential of those forces by ensuring that they can work together through sensible equipment, effective joint doctrine, and exercises. Interoperability and effectively coordinated joint and combined operations will give us a payoff that is greater than the sum of the individual parts.This book addresses one important aspect of our joint doctrine for unified operations within a theater - joint warfare for airland combat. Without clearly defined and well-practiced joint tactics, techniques, procedures and an organization for airland combat, the effective employment of all arms toward a single objective is made difficult, even wasteful and dangerous.The author is well qualified to write this book. He served on the Air Staff during the important years in which the airland battle interface was developed and participated in the Air Staff contributions to the U.S. Army's Extended Battlefield and AirLand Battle Concepts. While assigned to the Organization of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Colonel Cardwell participated in the development of NATO's and SHAPE's Conceptual Military Frameworks, SHAPE's Follow-On Forces Attack Concept, the Joint Staff's Interdiction and Follow-On Forces Attack Studies, and the Joint Doctrine Development Program.Colonel Cardwell has traced for us the development of airland combat strategy since World War I, outlined current thinking on the subject, and offered prescriptions for strengthening our capabilities for joint operations. In so doing, he has built a valuable source document on airland combat and contributed to the dialogue on joint doctrine in a meaningful and useful way.John W. Vessey, Jr.General, USA, Retired
