After nearly a dozen books and service as secretary of statefor presidents Nixon and Ford, Kissinger has established himself asa major thinker, writer, and actor on the world's diplomatic stage.His newest work is a remarkable survey of the craft ofinternational relations from the early 17th century to the presentera. Beginning with the 1648 Peace of Westphalia, Kissingersummarizes three centuries of Western diplomacy, giving specialattenton to the influence of Wilsonian idealism on 20th-centuryAmerican foreign policy. He is not shy about describing his owncontributions to Nixon's foreign gambits, nor is he reticient aboutoffering his own advice to the current administration on how tohandle Russia, China, or the rest of the world. From Kissinger welearn that there is really little new about the New World Order.This is an important contribution to the theoretical literature onforeign affairs and will also serve quite ably as a one-volumesynthesis of modern diplomatic history.

Ralph Waldo Emerson is the central figure in Americanpolitical thought. Until recently, his vast influence was mostoften measured by its impact on literature, philosophy andaesthetics. In particular, Emerson is largely responsible forintroducing idealism into America in the form of living one's lifeself-reliantly. But in the past few decades, critics haveincreasingly come to realize that Emerson played a key role inabolitionism and other social movements around the time of theAmerican Civil War. This selection for Cambridge Texts in theHistory of Political Thought highlights not only Emerson'spractical political involvement, but also examines thephilosophical basis of his political writings. All of the usualseries features are included, with a concise introduction, notesfor further reading, chronology and apparatus designed to assistundergraduate and graduate readers studying this greatest ofAmerican thinkers for the first time.

A stunning narrative account of the mysterious Jordanianwho penetrated both the inner circle of al-Qaeda and the highestreaches of the CIA, with a devastating impact on the war onterror. In December 2009, a group of the CIA’s top terrorist huntersgathered at a base in Khost, Afghanistan, to greet a risingsuperspy: Khalil al-Balawi, a Jordanian double agent who hadinfiltrated the inner circle of al-Qaeda. For months, he had sentsolid intelligence on Osama bin Laden’s operations center and nowpromised to help the CIA destroy the terrorist network. Instead, ashe stepped from his car, he detonated a thirty-pound bomb strappedto his chest, instantly killing seven CIA operatives, the agen?cy’sworst loss of life in decades. In The Triple Agent , Pulitzer Prize–winning reporter JobyWarrick takes us deep inside the CIA’s war against al-Qaeda. Hisaccount of the Khost attack exposes dangerous weak?nesses in anintelligence agency that has become overly reliant onremote-controlled drones, and he reveals t

One ofthe most critical battles of the Afghan War is now revealed asnever before. Lions of Kandahar is an inside account from theunique perspective of an active-duty U.S. Army Special Forcescommander, an unparalled warrior with multiple deployments to thetheater who has only recently returned from combatthere. Southern Afghanistan was slipping away.That was clear to then-Captain Rusty Bradley as he began his thirdtour of duty there in 2006. The Taliban and their allies wereinfiltrating everywhere, poised to reclaim Kandahar Province, theirstrategically vital onetime capital. To stop them, the NATOcoalition launched Operation Medusa, the largest offensive in itshistory. The battlefield was the Panjwayi Valley, a densely packedwarren of walled compounds that doubled neatly as enemy bunkers,lush orchards, and towering marijuana stands, all laced withtreacherous irrigation ditches. A mass exodus of civilians heraldedthe carnage to come. Dispatched as a diversionary force insuppo

The 'Flynn effect' refers to the massive increase in IQ testscores over the course of the twentieth century. Does it mean thateach generation is more intelligent than the last? Does it suggesthow each of us can enhance our own intelligence? Professor Flynn isfinally ready to give his own views. He asks what intelligencereally is and gives a surprising and illuminating answer. Thisexpanded paperback edition includes three important new essays. Thefirst contrasts the art of writing cognitive history with thescience of measuring intelligence and reports data. The secondoutlines how we might get a complete theory of intelligence, andthe third details Flynn's reservations about Gardner's theory ofmultiple intelligences. A fascinating book that bridges the gulfseparating our minds from those of our ancestors a century ago, andmakes an important contribution to our understanding of humanintelligence.

Remote, forbidding, and volatile, the Caspian Sea longtantalized the world with its vast oil reserves. But outsiders,blocked by the closed Soviet system, couldn't get to it. Then theSoviet Union collapsed, and a wholesale rush into the regionerupted. Along with oilmen, representatives of the world's leadingnations flocked to the Caspian for a share of the thirty billionbarrels of proven oil reserves at stake, and a tense geopoliticalstruggle began. The main players were Moscow and Washington-theformer seeking to retain control of its satellite states, and thelatter intent on dislodging Russia to the benefit of theWest. The Oil and the Glory is the gripping account of this latestphase in the epochal struggle for control of the earth's "blackgold." Steve LeVine, who was based in the region for The WallStreet Journal, The New York Times, and Newsweek, weaves anastonishing tale of high-stakes political gamesmanship, greed, andscandal, set in one of the most opaque corners of the world.

In this riveting collection, published for the first time,we follow Harry S. Truman and Dean Acheson, two giants of thepost–World War II period, as they move from an officialrelationship to one of candor, humor, and personal expression.Together they were primarily responsible for the Marshall Plan andNATO, among other world-shaping initiatives. And in these letters,spanning the years from when both were newly out of office untilAcheson’s death at the age of seventy-eight, we find them sharingthe often surprising and always illuminating opinions, ideas, andfeelings that the strictures of their offices had previously keptthem from revealing. Adapting easily to their private lives, they nonetheless felt apowerful need to keep in touch as they viewed with dismay what theyconsidered to be the Eisenhower administration’s fumbling offoreign affairs, the impact of Joseph McCarthy, John FosterDulles’s foreign policy, and the threat of massive nuclearretaliation.

From the best-selling author of The Working Poor, animpassioned, incisive look at the violations of civil liberties inthe United States that have accelerated over the past decade—andtheir direct impact on our lives. How have our rights to privacy and justice been undermined? Whatexactly have we lost? Pulitzer Prize–winner David K. Shiplersearches for the answers to these questions by examining thehistorical expansion and contraction of our fundamental rights and,most pointedly, the real-life stories of individual men and womenwho have suffered. With keen insight and telling detail hedescribes how the Supreme Court’s constitutional rulings play onthe streets as D.C. police officers search for guns in poor AfricanAmerican neighborhoods, how a fruitless search warrant turns thehome of a Homeland Security employee upside down, and how thesecret surveillance and jailing of an innocent lawyer result froman FBI lab mistake.
