"Some Christmas Stories" is a collection of some of English author Charles Dickens's Christmas tales. This anthology contains: "A Christmas Tree," "What Christmas is as We Grow Older," "The Poor Relation's Story," "The Child's Story," "The Schoolboy's Story," and "Nobody's Story." These stories have been reproduced with every effort to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the original, which was published by Chapman & Hall, London, in 1911.

This historical document was initially published in 1944 by the then-Office of Strategic Services (now the Central Intelligence Agency). It was intended for use by OSS agents in motivating and recruiting potential foreign saboteurs. OSS operatives were permitted to circulate parts of the document as needed. It has since been declassified. This field manual explains ways civilians can inflict sabotage through ordinary means and, while doing so, minimize undue attention. The booklet contains instructions for destabilizing or reducing progress and productivity by non-violent means. According to the booklet, saboteurs were often sympathizers who were keen to disrupt the enemy's war efforts during the World War Two.

In 1907, then-Major-General Sir David Henderson, wrote this watershed military text on reconnaissance. But, perhaps because the topic of reconnaissance was a bit obscure, it never gained the circulation that Sun Tzu's "The Art of War" enjoyed. Nevertheless, militaries still have reconnaissance units and this activity has been used in every major conflict since Henderson fought in the Second Boer War (1899-1902). Although Henderson's text is grounded in a form of warfare that is no longer practiced - horse mounted operations - the principles and practices of the art can be applied in the modern context. Prunckun's analytic annotations of "The Art of Reconnaissance" shows that not only is the art that Henderson espoused over a century ago still relevant, but his scientific way of thinking on the topic has been incorporated into different aspects of present-day intelligence gathering.
