Hans Halberstadt

    Cet auteur aborde l'écriture en tant que cinéaste documentaire chevronné, dont la carrière de quinze ans dans l'industrie du film a naturellement évolué vers le monde de la littérature. Il a constaté que les techniques fondamentales de conception d'un projet cinématographique s'appliquent tout aussi bien aux livres de non-fiction, rendant la transition aisée. Le travail sur les livres s'est avéré plus agréable, plus aventureux et plus rentable que le cinéma, l'amenant à se consacrer progressivement et exclusivement aux projets de livres. Contrairement à de nombreux autres écrivains, il n'a jamais rencontré de difficultés pour obtenir des contrats d'édition ni souffert du blocage de l'écrivain ; raconter des histoires a toujours été pour lui une activité naturelle et amusante.

      On April 6th, 2003, twenty-six Green Berets, including those of Sergeant 1st Class Frank Antenori's Special Forces A-team (call sign Roughneck Nine-One), confronted a vastly superior force—one that included battle tanks and more than 150 well-trained, well-equipped, and well-commanded soldiers—at a remote crossroads near the small village of Debecka, Iraq. The rest is history… Along the way, they endured a U.S .Navy F-14 dropping a 500-pound bomb on supporting Kurdish Peshmerga fighters, the ever-present threat of WMDs, and countless other deadly obstacles. This is the never-before-told, unsanitized story of how one Special Forces A-team recruited and organized, trained and eventually fought—and won—a legendary conflict that will influence American military doctrine for years to come.

      What began as a motorized bicycle dreamed up between a young machinist named George Hedstrom and a champion cyclist named George Hendee, became one of the most popular motorcycles in the world: the Indian. Out of production for half a century, Indian retains the loyalty and admiration of motorcycle riders and enthusiasts everywhere. This book recounts the marque’s story from its earliest single-cylinder “motocycles” of 1901 through the bitter day in 1953 when the company shuttered Wigwam, its Springfield, Massachusetts, plant—with a nod to the trademark disputes that continue to this day. Text by noted Indian historian Jerry Hatfield, and more than 125 specially commissioned photographs and 25 black and white historical pictures, capture the seductive power and grace of the great models—the Scout, Chief, and Four, —and recreate the thrill the Indian generates to this day.
