One Woman's War
"Through her portraits of Serbs of all backgrounds emerges an unusual nation with great flair: from their leaders such as the now-indicted Bosnian Serb war criminal, Radovan Karadzic, with whom she happens to share a cab ride, to the sympathetic doctor Goran Zdravkovic, who treats Eve-Ann Prentice and days later becomes a refugee, and Ivan Novkovic, a weather presenter who called for the Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic to resign in a rogue broadcast. In the great tradition of Michael Herr's famous record of the Vietnam war, Dispatches, Eve-Ann Prentice draws a definitive picture of the Balkan war's twisted psychology as only an expert with unparalleled contacts can hope to achieve."--BOOK JACKET.

Vatican disclaimers aside, Jesus comes from a brotherhood of European gods bearing similar names: Iannus, John, and Janis, to name a few. This book tells the story of these gods.
Block by Block
First published by the Combat Studies Institute Press. The resulting anthology begins with a general overview of urban operations from ancient times to the midpoint of the twentieth century. It then details ten specific case studies of U.S., German, and Japanese operations in cities during World War II and ends with more recent Russian attempts to subdue Chechen fighters in Grozny and the Serbian siege of Sarajevo. Operations range across the spectrum from combat to humanitarian and disaster relief. Each chapter contains a narrative account of a designated operation, identifying and analyzing the lessons that remain relevant today.
The Politics of Genocide
"In this brilliant expose of great power's lethal industry of lies, Edward Herman and David Peterson defend the right of us all to a truthful historical memory."--JOHN PILGER, journalist and filmmaker.
Women and Journalism
Women and Journalism offers a rich and comprehensive analysis of the roles, status and experiences of women journalists in the United States and Britain. Drawing on a variety of sources and dealing with a host of women journalists ranging from nineteenth century pioneers to Martha Gellhorn, Kate Adie and Veronica Guerin, the authors investigate the challenges women have faced in their struggle to establish reputations as professionals. This book provides an account of the gendered structuring of journalism in print, radio and television and speculates about women's still-emerging role in online journalism. Their accomplishments as war correspondents are tracked to the present, including a study of the role they played post-September 11th.

Unholy Terror
Al-Qa’ida: in the 80s they were in Afghanistan, supported by America and fighting the Russians. In the new century they have metastasized throughout the world’s geopolitical body. Where were they in the 90s? Unholy Terror provides the answer, with all its terrifying implications for our world today. This book provides the missing piece in the puzzle of al-Qa’ida’s transformation from an isolated fighting force into a lethal global threat: the Bosnian war of 1992 to 1995. John R. Schindler reveals the unexamined role that radical Islam played in that terrible conflict--and the ill-considered contributions of American policy to al-Qa’ida’s growth. His book explores a truth long hidden from view: that, like Afghanistan in the 1980s, Bosnia in the 1990s became a training ground for the mujahidin. Unholy Terror at last exposes the shocking story of how bin Laden successfully exploited the Bosnian conflict for his own ends--and of how the U. S. Government gave substantial support to his unholy warriors, leading to blowback of epic proportions.
