Making Do
"Making Do" is a memoir spanning the first 26 years of Johnny Becker's life. His parents had narrowly escaped the chaos of World War I and the Russian Revolution making their way to the relative safety of Harbin, China where Johnny was born in 1922. His memories begin a few years after arriving in Long Island, NY. Johnny takes us through the depression days, high school adventures and athletic achievements. World War II was a call to arms and in 1943 Johnny eagerly joined the Eighth Air Force, before being shipped to England. After an intense four months and three missions over Germany, including a crash landing, his crew was shipped back to the states. Several months later, Johnny returned to civilian life and after working various jobs in NYC moved to Savannah, Georgia to begin his career in the Army and Navy Store business. "Making Do" captures Johnny's philosophy of life, that is, to make the most of what one has, regardless of one's material circumstances.
Tales from Djakarta
Tales from Djakarta is a collection of thirteen short stories written between 1948 and 1956 - a period of bitter transition from the revolutionary era to the beginnings of military rule in Indonesia. These stories not only give us a taste of Pramoedya's earlier writings, but also lead us on a tragic tour through mid-century Jakarta with her downtrodden residents as our guides.
Why Hawks Become Doves
Investigates how leaders personalities shape important foreign policy shifts. Why do hawkish leaders change course to pursue dovish policies? In Why Hawks Become Doves, Guy Ziv argues that conventional international relations theory is inadequate for explaining these momentous foreign policy shifts, because it underestimates the importance of leaders and their personalities. Applying insights from cognitive psychology, Ziv argues that decision-makers cognitive structurespecifically, their levels of cognitive openness and complexityis a critical causal variable in determining their propensity to revise their beliefs and pursue new policies. To illustrate his point, he examines Israeli...
Netanyahu vs The Generals
Benjamin Netanyahu has carefully cultivated a self-image as Israel's 'Mr. Security' during his decades of political activity. His reputation as a security-minded leader has resonated with large swathes of the Israeli public, enabling him to become Israel's longest-serving prime minister. Yet the Israeli security community has long questioned Netanyahu's approach to national security. The Netanyahu era has seen unprecedented civil-military tensions, while retired generals and former heads of the Mossad and Shin Bet intelligence agencies, some of whom were appointed by Netanyahu, have publicly rejected both his leadership and his policies. Drawing on interviews with dozens of senior veterans of the Israeli security establishment, this book addresses this intriguing paradox. It sets out to explain the mutual distrust and intense disagreements between Netanyahu and the security community, as well as the underlying reasons behind the Israeli public's inattention to the collective judgment of hundreds of ex-generals and former spymasters.
The Second Front
Decades before al-Qaeda took shape, religious radicals in Southeast Asia were laying the groundwork for a struggle to achieve a backward-looking utopia. This is the story of Jemaah Islamiyah (JI), the secretive organization that spans no less than half a dozen nations and seeks the full implementation of their intolerant take on Islam. In The Second Front: Inside Asia's Most Dangerous Terrorist Network, best-selling author Ken Conboy pieces together the planning and execution of JI's most deadly terrorist acts from exclusive interviews and classified reports. In details never before revealed, it delves into the minds of the group's leaders - from the professorial bomb expert Azhari to the al...
