In the Ottoman Empire, prisoners of war did not only include soldiers captured on the battlefield, but were an important part of the slave population in the Ottoman Empire with the women, men and children taken prisoner from the region. Who were these prisoners, how were they held captive? How were they distributed to the Ottoman geography? What kind of a process was waiting for them after capturing and deciding what to do during captivity? Fatma Sel Turhan has detailed analysis of how the war prisoner issue was applied in the Ottoman Empire in the 18th century. Within this scope, from the Karchofan to the Age, the prisoners of the Ottomans in the battles subject to the treaties, from the captives in the dungeons to the captives in the slave status, the geographies in which they were separated from their identities, the owners of what they experienced in the evictions carried out by the treaties and the difficulties encountered by these processes, In the light of an archival material, it focuses on understanding the concept of captivity in the Ottoman Empire.

21st Century System for Evaluating Veterans' Disability Benefits recommends improvements in the medical evaluation and rating of veterans for the benefits provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to compensate for illnesses or injuries incurred in or aggravated by military service. Compensation is a monthly cash benefit based on a rating schedule that determines the degree of disability on a scale of 0 to 100. Although a disability rating may also entitle a veteran to ancillary services, such as vocational rehabilitation and employment services, the rating schedule is out of date medically and contains ambiguous criteria and obsolete conditions and language. The current rating schedule emphasizes impairment and limitations or loss of specific body structures and functions which may not predict disability well. 21st Century System for Evaluating Veterans' Disability Benefits recommends that this schedule could be revised to include modern concepts of disability including work disability, nonwork disability, and quality of life. In addition to the need for an updated rating schedule, this book highlights the need for the Department of Veterans' Affairs to devote additional resources to systematic analysis of how well it is providing services or how much the lives of veterans are being improved, as well as the need for a program of research oriented toward understanding and improving the effectiveness of its benefits programs.

"32 Battalion" is the gripping inside story of South Africa's most controversial fighting unit of the 1970s and 1980s. Originally formed in order to lend support to the FNLA and UNITA in the Angolan war, 32 Battalion quickly gained the reputation of being an unconventional, secretive, yet highly effective group. Written by a man who was intimately involved with the unit and served as its Regimental Sergeant Major for two years, the book aims to explode the myths surrounding the legendary 32 and set the record straight. It records how and why 32 Battalion was formed, explores its unique identity forged by the men who fought in it, details the many operations in which they participated, and concludes with its eventual disbandment at the dawn of a new South Africa. What they did, and how they did it, would earn this controversial group official recognition as the best fighting unit in the South African Army since World War II.
