Inside the Danger Zone: The U.S. Military in the Persian Gulf, 1987-1988

(My own unpublished book, Liberty Call, was used by the author by permission when researching and writing Inside the Danger Zone. This is compelling read, and it is highly recommended. At the time of this post, this book has a 5 star rating at Amazon.)

Product Description
In May 1987, an Iraqi plane fired two missiles into USS Stark, a lone U.S. Navy frigate on patrol in the Gulf. The missiles severely damaged the ship and killed thirty-seven sailors. This deadly attack, which Iraq claimed was accidental, brought heightened attention to the Persian Gulf and heralded the beginning of a new era in U.S. Middle Eastern policy. From then until the end of the Iran-Iraq War, American forces carried out an unprecedented series of military operations in the Gulf. A planned tanker protection mission evolved into a naval quasi-war with Iran and culminated in the largest sea-air battle since World War II.

Inside the Danger Zone is a history of U.S. military involvement in the Persian Gulf in 1987 and 1988--a time of burning ships, air strikes, and secret missions--the prelude to the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, Desert Storm, and the most recent U.S. invasion of Iraq. Based largely on first-hand accounts from veterans of that era, it is an up-close, detailed report from the front lines of a guerrilla war at sea. Many of the dramatic incidents of this period are told in depth, with new information and details never before seen in print.

Operation Christmas Child

What is Operation Christmas Child?

Operation Christmas Child brings joy and hope to children in desperate situations around the world through gift-filled shoe boxes and the Good News of God's love. This program of Samaritan's Purse provides an opportunity for people of all ages to be involved in a simple, hands—on missions project while focusing on the true meaning of Christmas—Jesus Christ.


It's so easy to be a part of this huge effort that takes place every year, and helps millions of needy kids around the world. Just fill a shoe box with small toys, hard candies, toothpaste, t-shirts, hand soap, etc. You can wrap it if you like, but wrap the box and the lid separately because the folks at Samaritan's Purse actually inspect the contents of each box. Toss in a $7 donation check on top of the gift items (this helps to defray the cost of processing and delivery) and drop off your box at a local collection point, or mail it to Samaritan's Purse.



National Collection Week for 2009 is November 16-23*.

For more details, visit Samaritan's Purse.

* You can take part in this wonderful program any time of year, by mailing in your shoe box, or by making contributions to cover operating costs and additional supplies delivered with the shoe boxes, such as blankets.


Samaritan's Purse is a project of the Rev. Franklin Graham, son of Billy Graham. This organization has many programs of outreach and help, from Operation Christmas Child to Disaster Relief, and many others.
