MAKE THEM PAY: How to Recruit, Train, and Integrate a Civil Defense Force with Your Standing Military; Against a Much Larger Invader!

by Cork Graham

TV personality and author of the 2004 international bestselling Vietnam prison/pirate treasure hunting memoir, THE BAMBOO AN ADVENTURE IN HEALING THE TRAUMA OF WAR, Cork Graham, calls on his ten years combat experience (first as an 18-year-old combat photojournalist in Southeast Asia, and then five years as a paramilitary officer in the Central America War against communist forces during the 1980s), to educate the layman on the strategies involved in bringing about a solid civil defense force to defend your country against a much larger invasion force. In an easy to read book written for a much larger audience than military personnel, Graham introduces the reader to the idea of an effective civil defense force and how it differs from a military reserve, auxiliary unit, or a national guard. He will also show how effective a paramilitary civil defense force can be in the actual fighting of a war against a much larger regular army, but also how the implementation of a paramilitary force as your main civil defense will likely deter venturing interests into your nation. Starting with the recruitment process, the author takes the reader through the psychological and societal prepping of a nation’s population. From there he takes you to the process of training your civil defense force, teaching a variety of techniques required to create cohesion between your fighters, and a versatility that can stretch across a variety of environments and conditions. Also of great importance is how to have your civil defense recruit and train without offering a potential invader the intelligence gathering opportunities to calculate the logistics of initiating a war of invasion. Though an ideal independent civil defense force, Graham shows how to integrate and implement your paramilitary civil defense force with your regular forces and standing military during wartime. The way Cork Graham puts “I wrote this book to be small in size, but packed in useful information—this was to be my own Little Red Book, Guerrilla Warfare, and Total Resistance. The key was to have a book that wasn’t some 300-to-800-page field manual that an officer would take his first year as a Marine or Army captain to decipher and implement. This book is designed for the layman, politician, and even military man who either has no prior military or combat experience, or doesn’t understand the importance of a well-prepared paramilitary force augmentation and can’t see past the average thinker’s views on only relying on active duty and reserve military forces to be completely responsible for the defense of their nation.” Get your copy now and become properly prepared for historical events that occur at least once every 50 years to a nation…!
