Paperback. Condición: New. Ivan Molloy analyses the de-facto foreign policy strategy of Low Intensity Conflict as propagated by the United States. He recounts how LIC emerged during the Reagan Administration as a way of counteracting the legacy left by the Vietnam War, which constrained America from getting involved in direct military intervention. Part covert, part overt, LIC was developed as a low-cost and low-risk method of dealing with revolutionary movements and post-revolutionary governments (usually Marxist) considered threatening to national interests. As such, this secretive strategy was an integral component of the Iran-Contra affair, and at the heart of the Reagan Doctrine. Molloy argues that LIC was a means of civilianising and privatising America's foreign policy. He reveals that LIC was always more of a political, rather than military, tool. The United States used LIC selectively in the 1980s to combat guerrilla movements and undermine targeted regimes to achieve its foreign policy objectives. The author uses Nicaragua and the Philippines as major case studies to analyse the profile of this multi-dimensional strategy as it emerged in the 1980s. He also demonstrates - using such examples as Cuba, Yugoslavia and East Timor - that this complex strategy is still evident today and even pursued by other states.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - In a post-apocalyptic world of climate disaster and widespread human conflict, four mid age friends try to make their way from the ruins of England to the Great Southern Land (Australia) hoping to find safety. While in the foothills of the Himalayas, they find ancient scrolls of the Kanchen religious cult who believed human spirits could actually 'body jump' and increase their power to eventually dominant humankind. Not knowing the full incredible content of the scrolls, nor who else seeks them, the friends helped by a former monk continue their way across a world of massive chaos and conflict. Along the way Jack, the main character, endures attacks of a powerfully spirit of unknown origin, which seeks to absorb his power and destroy him. After weeks of travel and attacks by Nazis pirates, militant Islamic bands, warlord groups, crocodiles, Komodo dragons and female warriors known as the Amazons, among others, the group finally reach the flooded ruins of Melbourne. There among the wreckage of the former city they find 'The Dome' - a huge, inhabited fortress structure built on the top of a former massive sporting stadium. Here the group try to find sanctuary. The Dome however presets its own dangers to the travellers. The insular dome community led by the remnants of a former high-tech company survives by building (AI) androids for internal security, external defence and trade with outside warring groups. Heavily armed and constantly under attack by warring gangs, remnants of former states and others, and ruled by a pseudo dictator; it has an alliance with other similarly militarised population centres in the region. But the dome society also faces its own deadly internal threats. In this the first book of the series, the travellers with the help of others, find temporary shelter near the Dome. But now they need to gain entrance, and seek safety from the many external forces, both in human and spirit form, who seek to destroy them. And the group still need to learn the secrets of the Kanchen scrolls, and the deadly consequences of what such knowledge will bring to themselves, and those both within the dome and without.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - This is a true story! On one level it is part my autobiography. On another it deals with three generations of my family's active involvement in war, terrorism, political and social conflict; and the tragic emotional and psychological consequences my family endured as a result.In 2009 as an Australian academic with expertise in global terrorism, and a one-time aspiring federal politician, I fled to France to try and deal with clinical depression, and associated Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). I was fleeing the nightmare of a destroyed career and a shattered family. As I tried to battle the 'Black Dog' of depression, suicide was a very real option for me. But first, I decided to write a book about my research and involvement with Muslim 'terrorists' and revolutionary guerrilla groups in the Philippines. It was a way of combating a public media campaign that had destroyed my professional and private life. But to do this I needed to retrace both my own and my family's earlier experiences with conflicts elsewhere, which influenced me to choose such research. In so doing I discovered new realities about the psychological condition I was battling and how it impacted on, and haunted, my own extended family over generations, and all due to war and social conflict with horrific human consequences.Ultimately, I have concluded I'm certainly not alone in my struggle. I'm merely another casualty of a brutal primeval human phenomenon, which continually infects the psychology of the next generation. It is the phenomenon of the subconscious human struggle for the survival of the fittest. Now with a greater understanding of my condition I have, at least so far, managed a stand-off with the Black Dog. I realise it wasn't spawned by any particular condition of my own, but rather the very nature of human society. So far society still fails to take responsibility for generating such a condition and instead still promotes our innate species drive to achieve the survival of the fittest, an endgame which usually results in warfare. In the 21st century if we do not challenge and change our notion of what is needed to survive then forget the Koreas, ISIS, nuclear warfare, etc., human kind will eventually psychologically and then physically self-destruct.How did I come to this realisation It all played out in a small village called Ouroux En Morvan, in France.…
