Netta and her family have relocated temporarily from Israel to Los Angeles, and when her seventeen-year-old brother mysteriously disappears, she becomes convinced that he has been abducted by Palestinian terrorists.

Two men from opposite backgrounds fi nd themselves victims of circumstance - The Vietnam War. Brett Edwards, married, college graduate, retail executive living in suburban New York; James Curtis, single, high school dropout, youthful offender hardened by the mean streets of Newark, New Jersey. Both men receive a letter that will change their lives. James had been given a choice: join the Army or serve hard time in prison. Brett had become accustomed to years of draft deferments; unexpectedly, he receives the letter. The men forge a friendship; James credits fate with his new friendship, and attaches fearful premonitions from his past to preserving that friendship. When they enter the Vietnam War zone, there is only one priority- survival. The right to go home is earned. To earn that right, Brett and James struggle against the threat of losing their souls, the disease of Vietnam. Face of the enemy is inconceivable.

Shows how ordinary and seemingly decent people can be stirred to hate and even to kill their neighbours. The author delves between the questions of right and wrong to get at the psychological mechanism of enmity itself.

Face of the Enemy is not your run-of-the-mill memoir. The second son of a mixed-race family of mainly Asian descent was challenge enough. His father’s American values were overpowered by his mother’s enforcement of the traditional Chinese culture of her homeland. His home life couldn’t have been more dissimilar than the culture of 1960s Chicago that was just outside his front door. Out on the streets, his Asian face said, “I’m not one of you.” At home, his status as the Number Two son said, “I am a servant.” Chung, Doc to his friends, quickly learned that he had two identities, and that he was trapped in between them. He had to fight, many times with his fists, to discover where his place was in his own country. The Vietnam War was winding down when Chung joined the Air Force. As a transportation specialist for the United States Air Force in Vietnam, he made sure aircraft delivering supplies were loaded and balanced properly. How much trouble could there be? Plenty, as he discovered. Many of his American comrades in arms viewed him with suspicion. He had the face of the enemy. The Vietnamese took one look at his American uniform and knew he was not one of them. After coming home from Vietnam, Doc found his own country struggling to move on from an unpopular war. The public blamed the veterans, some of whom were struggling with the demons they had brought home with them. The only defense from the public shaming was for veterans to hide in plain sight. Uniforms were packed away. Nightmares weren’t talked about. The only thing that remained the same for Doc was the racism and bigotry. How do you overcome having the face of the enemy? How do you free yourself from the jaws of a trap that is part of who you are? Doc found the answer in saying yes. Saying yes to joining a fledgling company called Federal Express. Saying yes to joining veterans groups to help change the way Vietnam veterans were treated. Saying yes to the journey of driving the Vietnam Women’s Memorial across the country to Washington DC. Saying yes to a position in the Veterans Affairs Office in Washington DC. Saying yes to changing his own life through helping others. This is a memoir of an ordinary man with an extraordinary conviction to change the status quo, first through activism, and then through an uncanny understanding of how to navigate the bureaucratic obstacles of the United States government.

"Robbery and murder are on the increase in Britain as disputes between underworld gangs escalate in open warfare on the streets. The Master seems inextricably linked to the chaos -- despite the fact that he is safely under lock and key. Meanwhile UNIT is called in when a plane missing in strange circumstances is rediscovered -- contaminated with radiation and particle damage that cannot possibly have occurred on Earth. As the mystery deepens, what little light they can shed on the matter leads the Brigadier to believe that with the Doctor away, Earth's only hope may lie with its greatest enemy."--Page 4 of cover.

"An unnamed American city feeling the effects of a war waged far away and suffering from bad weather is the backdrop for this startling work of fiction. The protagonists are aimless young men going from one blue collar job to the next, or in a few cases, aspiring to middle management. Their everyday struggles--with women, with the morning commute, with a series of cruel bosses--are somehow transformed into storytelling that is both universally resonant and wonderfully uncanny. That is the unsettling, funny, and ultimately heartfelt originality of Saïd Sayrafiezadeh's short fiction, to be at home in a world not quite our own but with many, many lessons to offer us"--

The author’s writings are his discoveries that occurred over a period of 10 years while he was a member of a church or just visiting a church. He observed that the pastors and the leaders of some churches have turned their Sunday morning services into a fundraising event. They are using God’s house as a building to collect monies for their own personal agendas (GREED). Some of these PASTORS and leaders of these churches are trying to take over and own something that doesn’t belong to them. They are trying to take over possession of GOD’S church and treating the church as if it were their own. Many of these pastors believe that whatever the church collects,they are solely entitled to. They believe they must have more than half of the money that comes into the church if not all of it.This is not of GOD. IT IS OF THE DEVIL. It is WITCHCRAFT. To all you PASTORS and leaders of the churches that the author is speaking about, stop this practice, listen and hear. You don’t own the church because you founded the church. It is GOD’S CHURCH. The LORD will never give up possession of his church, and to you PASTORS and leaders of the churches who are practicing the LORD’S way in the church,keep up the good works and may the LORD continue to bless you and the churches that you preside over.
