Harvey Porter is a Dallas street thug headed nowhere until he gets enrolled in the Special Alternative School, housed in the renovated Texas School Book Depository building. Harvey has never known who his parents were, and in fact isnt even sure what his name is. In the alternative school he makes two close friends who help him along the maze of his quest to learn the identity of his parents and grandparents. The chain of adventures moves him into the legacy of Lee Harvey Oswald, several Cherokee, eBay online auctions and even the Barrow gang. This is a satire/parody which delivers plenty of humor and laughter.
This book addresses two questions that are crucial to the human condition in the twenty-first century: does globalization promote security or fuel insecurity? And what are the implications for world order? Coming to grips with these matters requires building a bridge between the geoeconomics and geopolitics of globalization, one that extends to the geostrategic realm. Yet few analysts have sought to span this gulf. Filling the void, Mittelman identifies systemic drivers of global security and insecurity and demonstrates how the intense interaction between them heightens insecurity at a world level. The emergent confluence he labels hyperconflict—a structure characterized by a reorganization of political violence, a growing climate of fear, and increasing instability at a world level. Ultimately, his assessment offers an "early warning" to enable prevention of a gathering storm of hyperconflict, and the establishment of enduring peace.
