  Monday, 4 September 1967 
  Marine Lance Corporal Jack Swan crested the face of a bare, rocky knoll in 
  the Que Son Valley of South Vietnam. Following Swan were the 164 Marines of 
  Mike Company, Third Battalion, Fifth Marines, First Marine Division. Their 
  mission was to locate and rescue two understrength and isolated companies 
  of felow Marines who were under attack by the North Vietnamese Armv 
  The sight of a quiet and serene rice paddy and shrub covered valley greeted 
  Swan. Too serene, he thought, as he caught sight of a trembling bush. "I think 
  I just saw that bush move!" he shouted. "If it moves again, shoot it!" his squad 
  leader commanded he bush moved Swan hired. and the hush went down 
  Then hell on earth broke loose. 
  Rocket-propelled grenades, AK-47 fire, mortars, and machine guns engulfed 
  the exposed Marines. The vaunted 2nd NVA Division, six thousand, five hundred 
  men strong and expertly camouflaged, had sprung their well-laid trap. 
  Instead of coming to the rescue of their embattled comrades, it was now the 
  men of Mike 3/5 who were about to be annihilated. Burdened with a rifle, the 
  M16, that would often malfunction, how could they hope to beat back a vastly 
  superior foe bent on their destruction? 
  Outnumbered, out-gunned, and exposed, would any of the men of Mike 3/5 survive?

  Patience is often regarded as a simple virtue, but it carries profound power in shaping our lives. It goes beyond just waiting for something to happen. True patience is the ability to endure the waiting process with grace, calm, and peace of mind. It allows us to maintain focus on our long-term goals while navigating the uncertainties of life. In today’s fast-paced world, where instant gratification has become the norm, patience has become an increasingly rare but invaluable skill. Learning to practice patience empowers us to take a step back, remain composed, and make decisions with clarity, even in the face of adversity. 
  Patience serves as a bridge between desire and fulfillment. It gives us the resilience to endure the waiting period without losing sight of what we’re striving for. Whether we’re waiting for a promotion, healing from an injury, or working toward personal growth, patience allows us to trust that things are unfolding in the right timing. It is often in the waiting process that we learn the most valuable lessons. We discover new strengths, build resilience, and deepen our understanding of ourselves and the world around us. 
  In scientific terms, patience is closely linked to emotional regulation. Studies have shown that those who practice patience tend to experience less stress and anxiety, as they are better able to cope with frustration and setbacks. Patience doesn’t mean passively sitting by and waiting for things to happen; it involves active participation in the process, understanding that timing plays a critical role in achieving our goals. It teaches us to manage our impulses, temper our expectations, and stay grounded during difficult moments.

  This book contains three topics: 
  - The Yalta Conference: The Yalta Conference, held in February 1945, was a pivotal moment in the history of the 20th century, marking the intersection of military triumph and political strategy. As World War II neared its end, the leaders of the three major Allied powers—President Franklin D. Roosevelt of the United States, Prime Minister Winston Churchill of the United Kingdom, and Premier Joseph Stalin of the Soviet Union—gathered in the Crimean resort town of Yalta to discuss the future of Europe and the post-war world. This summit was not only a negotiation of territory but a critical turning point that set the stage for the global dynamics that would shape the Cold War and the decades that followed. 
  - Nuremberg Trials: The Nuremberg Trials were a series of military tribunals held after World War II to prosecute prominent leaders of Nazi Germany for crimes committed during the war. These trials were a defining moment in the history of international law and marked the first time that individuals were held accountable on an international stage for atrocities committed by a regime. The trials took place in the city of Nuremberg, Germany, from 1945 to 1949, and were conducted by the Allied powers—the United States, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and France—who sought to bring justice to the victims of the Holocaust, forced labor, and widespread destruction caused by the Nazis. 
  - Codebreakers: The art of codebreaking has long been an essential aspect of warfare, serving as a hidden weapon that can change the course of history. During World War II, intelligence efforts were not only about gathering information; they were about deciphering the secrets encoded by the enemy to gain a strategic advantage. As technology evolved, so did the complexity of military ciphers, making the task of breaking enemy codes more challenging and more critical than ever.
