The Handbook of Latin American and Caribbean Intelligence Cultures

The Handbook of Latin American and Caribbean Intelligence Cultures explores the contemporary efforts of Latin American and Caribbean nations to develop an intelligence culture. Specifically, it analyzes these countries’ efforts to democratize their intelligence agencies (i.e. to develop intelligence services that are both transparent and effective) to convert the former military regimes’ repressive security apparatuses into democratic intelligence communities—a rather paradoxical task, considering that democracy calls for political neutrality, transparency, and accountability, while effective intelligence services must operate in secrecy. Indeed, even the most successful democracies fa...

  • Publisher: WIT Press

This is an indispensable book for anyone wanting to know more about the before, during and after the Battle of the River Plate, the naval tactics that were employed, the games of diplomacy, the honour of the captains and crews, and the ground- breaking technology involved. The book takes a balanced view of pre-war and post-war events that shaped those years and of Argentina’s willingness to take the crew of the Graf Spee in and offer them refuge, which proved to be beneficial to both communities.

Guerra Irregular

Guerra Irregular

As guerras já não são mais as mesmas. Em vez da confrontação militar formal, o mundo vem assistindo a uma série de guerras "irregulares", como terrorismo, guerrilha, insurreição, movimentos de resistência e conflitos assimétricos em geral. Alessandro Visacro, profundo estudioso do assunto, nos oferece um amplo panorama dos movimentos que alimentam essas guerras: embasamento político, estratégia, táticas e resultados obtidos. O livro mostra ainda quais os grupos que obtiveram sucesso e por que, assim como os métodos utilizados pelos Estados que derrotaram ou estão obtendo sucesso contra esses movimentos. O livro trata da Irlanda (ira) e da Espanha (eta), de Cuba e da China, da Argélia e do Afeganistão, de israelenses e palestinos, da Colômbia e do Brasil, onde, segundo o autor, já se trava uma verdadeira guerra irregular, em que o Estado está ameaçado. Obra imperdível para quem quer entender o modo como a guerra é feita atualmente. De resto, compreender melhor o combate irregular é um pré-requisito para que a sociedade se torne menos vulnerável a ele.
