It exposed American inexperience. That inexperience went from Roosevelt on down to the soldier in the foxhole. Half-trained men were pitted against Vichy France and didn't know whether to expect open arms or open fire. Later, those same inexperienced men would meet Rommel at the Kasserine Pass. This naivete was exhibited by both men and leaders. Torch was Eisenhower's first major operation--a gigantic airlift and sealift preceded by months of intrigue. The outcome of the campaign settled several air power issues and revealed many lessons. The battles fought by the United States forces during the North African Campaign of 1942 and 1943, particularly the Battle for the Kasserine Pass in February 1943, were a breaking and testing ground for much of the employment of those forces during the remainder of the Second World War. Three air power key lessons were learned on the North African battlefield. First was the need for coordination between air and ground forces. Second was the folly of sending untrained airmen into combat. Third was the importance of tactical air targeting by ground force commanders. 517 $aAir Power In North Africa, 1942-43 606 $aMilitary campaigns 606 $aAir power 615 0$aMilitary campaigns. 615 0$aAir power. 700 $aStarbuck $b Colonel F.

Stephanie Plum might not be the world's greatest bounty hunter, but she knows when she's being played. Ken Globovic (aka Gobbles), hailed as the Supreme Exalted Zookeeper of the animal house known as Zeta fraternity, has been arrested for beating up the dean of students at Kiltman College. Gobbles has missed his court date and gone into hiding. People have seen him on campus, but no one will talk. Things just aren't adding up, and Stephanie can't shake the feeling that something funny is going on at the college--and it's not just Zeta fraternity pranks. As much as people love Gobbles, they hate Doug Linken. When Linken is gunned down in his backyard it's good riddance, and the list of possible murder suspects is long. The only people who care about finding Linken's killer are Trenton cop Joe Morelli, who has been assigned the case, security expert Ranger, who was hired to protect Linken, and Stephanie, who has her eye on a cash prize and hopefully has some tricks up her sleeve"--$cProvided by publisher. 330 $a"The much-anticipated 22nd book in the #1 bestselling Stephanie Plum series. Stephanie Plum is a bounty hunter who often runs into trouble on the job, but she has family, friends, and several men to help her out of sticky situations. There's Lula, a plus-sized former hooker turned bounty hunter, and Grandma Mazur, Stephanie's outrageous grandmother who packs a gun and sometimes tags along on cases. The series couldn't be complete without a love triangle. Joe Morelli, AKA "Officer Hottie," is Stephanie's on again/off again boyfriend, and Ranger is the bad-ass private security specialist who trains Stephanie and becomes her mentor and protector. It's always a surprise where Stephanie will land next, but her adventures are guaranteed"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aStephanie Plum 606 $aWomen detectives$zNew Jersey$zTrenton$vFiction 606 $aWomen bounty hunters$zNew Jersey$zTrenton$vFiction 606 $aMurder$xInvestigation$vFiction 606 $aFICTION / Mystery & Detective / Women Sleuths$2bisacsh 606 $aFICTION / Humorous$2bisacsh 615 0$aWomen detectives 615 0$aWomen bounty hunters 615 0$aMurder$xInvestigation 615 7$aFICTION / Mystery & Detective / Women Sleuths. 615 7$aFICTION / Humorous. 676 $a813/.54 686 $aFIC022040$aFIC016000$2bisacsh 700 $aEvanovich$b Janet$01242500 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910149456103321 996 $aTricky Twenty-Two$92882171 997 $aUNINA
