Uncovered is the life story of eighty-three-year-old cold war veteran John Sager. An operations officer in the Central Intelligence Agency, his postings to pre-revolutionary Iran, Gamal Abdel Nasser's Egypt, and Nikita Khrushchev' s Soviet Russia thrust him into the midst of America's most tumultuous half-century since World War II. The author's memoir reveals an up-close vision of the nitty-gritty of cold-war intelligence work: recruiting and handling agents, devising ways to insert them into the hermetically sealed Soviet Union, managing the CIA's Moscow station, and running intelligence-gathering operations in the United States. Over his fifty-plus years of service, he experienced much of...
The fierce close combat in the remote areas of South Vietnam's northern provinces in 1967-68--the battles of Hiep Duc, March 11, Nhi Ha, and Hill 406--has been a strangely underreported slice of the Vietnam War. Through the Valley brings those battles into sharp focus, chronicling the efforts of the proud units of the Americal Division and the 196th Light Infantry Brigade against a stubborn enemy in long-forgotten villages and on torturous hills. Colonel Humphries draws on both his own combat experience and the eyewitness reports of fifty former veterans to reconstruct what it was like to fight in Vietnam.

Tra il 1917 e il 1918 i due grandi imperi multinazionali asburgico e zarista si dissolsero, ridisegnando i confini dell’Europa orientale. Gli stati successori inglobarono terre dal background giuridico eterogeneo, gelose delle proprie tradizioni. La Romania non fece eccezione. Bucarest dovette armonizzare un caleidoscopio di leggi di diversa derivazione (austriaca, ungherese, russa, francese), scontrandosi con l’opposizione di quei romeni che negli imperi si erano formati e avevano costruito il loro percorso professionale. Analizzando il processo di unificazione legislativa della Romania, il presente studio mira a fornire nuove interpretazioni non solo sulla difficile transizione post-imperiale europea, ma anche sul modo in cui determinate categorie socio-professionali (avvocati, magistrati e giuristi) coniugarono la loro appartenenza etnica ad altre, e spesso più importanti, identificazioni e priorità.
