The Other Alliance
Using previously classified documents and original interviews, The Other Alliance examines the channels of cooperation between American and West German student movements throughout the 1960s and early 1970s, and the reactions these relationships provoked from the U.S. government. Revising the standard narratives of American and West German social mobilization, Martin Klimke demonstrates the strong transnational connections between New Left groups on both sides of the Atlantic. Klimke shows that the cold war partnership of the American and German governments was mirrored by a coalition of rebelling counterelites, whose common political origins and opposition to the Vietnam War played a vital ...
Political Terrorism
While there is no easy way to define terrorism, it may generally be viewed as a method of violence in which civilians are targeted with the objective of forcing a perceived enemy into submission by creating fear, demoralization, and political friction in the population under attack. At one time a marginal field of study in the social sciences, terrorism is now very much in center stage. The 1970s terrorist attacks by the PLO, the Provisional Irish Republican Army, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the Japanese Red Army, the Unabomber, Aum Shinrikyo, Timothy McVeigh, the World Trade Center attacks, the assault on a school in Russia, and suicide bombers have all made the term ...
Adjust Fire
Ride with a U.S. Army battalion from First Cavalry Division in the toughest years of the Iraq War and discover what the media didn't share and could never tell you..."My objective since retirement has been to educate Americans about the war in Iraq and to tell them the 'inside story' of the Army, its soldiers, and what we have been doing since 2003 in Iraq. The news media: print, television, and radio do a very poor job of articulating what America's military is doing in Iraq. I can do better." The early years of the Iraq War looked grim. This book tells the "inside the Army story." Readers who seek to know how the Army conducted its business leading to success in Iraq will see, in graphic terms, how the work was accomplished with the successes and failures. The reader gets the unique opportunity to literally follow an Army battalion commander working in a key neighborhood of Baghdad called Al Rashid. The book walks the streets of Baghdad, rides on patrols down the IED laden "Airport Road" and let's you sit in on the councils of warriors, and walk among the people of Iraq.

Avoiding The Terrorist Trap: Why Respect For Human Rights Is The Key To Defeating Terrorism
'This book makes uncomfortable reading both in its detailed analysis of terrorism and its causes, and in the critique of state responses, particularly in modern times. It is unusual to have such a defence of a 'human rights framework' from a counter-terrorism practitioner rather than from within the legal fraternity. It is this that makes the case even more persuasive. All who are involved in counter-terrorism strategy should consider carefully the arguments put forward.'Global Policy JournalFor more than 150 years, nationalist, populist, Marxist and religious terrorists have all been remarkably consistent and explicit about their aims: provoke states into over-reacting to the threat they po...
