Islam is a religion of peace. Islam is one of three Abrahamic faiths. Muslims peacefully coexist with Christians and Jews. Islam has been hijacked by radical Muslims. The Islamic State is not Islamic. The Islamic ideology allows freedom of religion. The liberal media lies to us. Muslims lie to us as demanded by the Islamic ideology. Muslim sympathizers lie to us. The President lies to us. My book attempts to counter these lies with the truth.

Les Casques Militaires des Etats de l'amerique LatinBy TacitusThis book covers the military helmets of every non-Anglophone country (Surinam excepted) in Central and South America and the Caribbean. The format is essentially that of the country articles in M.Plasseraud's earlier 3 volume Casques du Combat series (which the relevant articles in this book now effectively supercedes); but with more space to devoted to ceremonial as well as combat helmets. As in Casques; there is also background on each country's military and political development which gives a context to the factors governing helmet fashions (ie successive French; German and US influences.) As well as Army helmets; The articles also cover helmets issued to countries' police forces; navy and air forces as well as tank and airborne helmets; and accessories such as nets and covers (and even the types of goggles worn during Argentina's Falklands adventure). Obviously coverage varies from place to place; there is simply a lot more to say about Argentine or Brazilian helmets than about Haitian or Dominican ones; while Paraguay didn't even issue helmets to its soldiers during the Chaco War.The French;in which the main text is written; is clear and easy to comprehend; without any grammatical or vocabulary flourishes that might make it a challenge to anyone with no more than high school or undergraduate French. The English and (I assume) Spanish summaries do capture the main developments; and are referenced to the illustrations in the text (which are numerous and usually in colour.) Yves Plasseraud and his collaborators merit our vote of thanks for putting this all together.All in all this book worth getting and is a valuable refrerence for collectors; historians and military model makers.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Best reference on Latin American helmetsBy TravelerAs a collector of pre-1945 military helmets for some 40 years; I will say that this is the best and most comprehensive reference to Latin American headgear that I have come across. This is a long overdue book addressing one of the most obscure areas of militaria collecting. There is precious little information on any aspect of Latin American militaria outside of Spanish-language books published in the home countries; which are difficult to obtain. The militaria itself is also scarce and the author of this book has indeed performed incredible research to assemble so much information and good photos. I highly recommend this book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. excellent bookBy brynrhiannonThis is a great book. If you are interested in South American history; military history; military headgear especially helmets then this is a must. it is well laid out with good photos of helmets ("studio style" as well as "action shots") with some scetches and diagrams. The main text is in French with a Spanish and English summary. I am not a Francophone but even with a couple of years of schoolboy french I could follow the concise text. I would recommend it as well worth adding to the reference collection
