A Self-Fulfilling Prophecy
In recent years, the geopolitical rivalry between Saudi Arabia and Iran has dominated the headlines. Many have charted the polarization between a Saudi-led Sunni camp and an Iranian-led Shia one, assuming that a predominantly Shia state like Iraq would automatically ally with Iran. In this compelling account, Katherine Harvey tells a different story: Iraq's alignment with Iran was not a foregone conclusion. Rather, Saudi efforts to undermine Iran have paradoxically empowered it. Harvey investigates why the Saudis refused to engage with Iraq's post-2003 Shia-led government, despite continual outreach by Iraq's new leaders and considerable pressure from the United States. She finds that certai...
Armed Organizations and Political Elites in Civil Wars
This book analyses under what conditions, and with what developmental effects, armed organizations shift their ‘coercive profile’ during civil wars, with a focus on the recent conflicts in Syria and Iraq. The work begins with an operationalisation of the term ‘political settlement’, focusing on how power is organized in fragile and conflict-affected countries, and then uses this operationalization to analyse the political settlements of contemporary Syria and Iraq, including their breakdown and transformation during recent civil wars (of 2011-today in Syria and 2014-17 in Iraq).

Dangerous Impressions
"When Madison Bloom ends up at the local community college and meets the attractive, yet mysterious, Nathan Bradley, her world takes a dramatic turn. With his passion for art, especially the Impressionists, and their passion for each other, Nathan seems to be the perfect guy. But Nathan has a secret life and a dangerous connection to the underground world of art theft. What Madison doesn't realize is that the closer she gets to Nathan, the easier it is for his enemies to use her to get what they want. And it might be too late for one of them. An art thief kidnaps a college art student and ransoms her for a stolen painting, but he didn't expect her to steal it back."--Page 4 of cover.
Fighting the Truth
In the year of 1810, ten year old Gwen and her two younger brothers were orphaned when renegade Indians raided their farm, killing their parents and set fire to the cabin. They were spared from being killed because they were playing in the cornfield when the Indians struck. The children managed to rebuild a small portion of the cabin so they would have shelter in the winter months ahead. A man and his wife came to their farm and took over the cabin, making slaves of the children as they ate from the food stored in the root cellar and killed most of the chickens as well. It makes for serious, but sometimes amusing reading how the children got out of this situation.

And do they dare attempt to fight their way through the mass of infected dead to reach it? Praise for Domain of the Dead “Surprised me. . . .
