Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I had returned from Iraq in 2004, after spending a summer there as the CIA’s point person for their Iraq terrorism analysis group in Baghdad. I had volunteered for a temporary duty assignment to Iraq to find signs that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was still in Iraq. #2 The OSP seemed to utterly disregard the analytic tradecraft that the CIA holds dear. They passed along raw intelligence without context and without explaining the reliability of the source to the White House. #3 In late 2002, the Bush administration pinpointed a new bogeyman to bolster its hegemonic intent: a thirty-six-year-old former drug-dealing street thug from Jordan named Ahmad Fadil al-Nazal al-Khalayleh. He would eventually join al Qaida after the invasion. #4 The president’s assertion that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and was connected to al Qaida was a gross exaggeration. The CIA had determined that Zarqawi’s organization didn’t know about the 9/11 attacks, much less participate in them.

Making Vancouver explores social relationships in Vancouver from 1863 to 1913. It considers how urbanization structured social boundaries among Burrard Inlet's increasingly large population and is premised on the belief that, in studying social boundaries, historians must abandon single category forms of analysis and build into their research strategies the capacity to explore complexity. Robert McDonald thus traces the relationship between the two forms of identify, class and status, for the whole of Vancouver society. The book starts with the years when settlement on Burrard Inlet centred around two lumber mills, explores periods of elite dominance of city institutions and then of growing ...
