As the guarantor of international security, the United States must commit to a long-term military presence in Iraq and Afghanistan. But what are the tools necessary to succeed on the new battlefields of the Long War? In this volume, a group of the foremost U. S. military officials and national security experts analyze the American experience in Iraq and Afghanistan thus far in order to map a way forward--not only for the military, but for diplomats, elected officials, and the American public. Thomas Donnelly, Frederick W. Kagan, and their coauthors offer several core lessons for success in The Long War. They argue that decentralizing command is the key to efficient operations on an ever-changing battlefield; that air power is the unsung hero of counterinsurgency warfare; that public opinion can influence crucial military decisions; and that the military should minimize its role in domestic affairs. Finally, although the battlefields have changed over the last fifty years, the authors contend that America's long-held counterinsurgency strategy--to foster political support at home, employ diplomacy overseas, and extend military assistance to allies--remains effective. The Long War will not soon be over. But, in the words of retired Army special forces officer Colonel Robert Killebrew, the United States already has "the tools it needs in order to prevail in the wars of the twenty-first century.".…

Cloth, 8vo, 23 cm, x, 218 pp, 10 ills. From the blurb - "This collection of essays, by two well-known critics of the novel, explores the ways in which a number of novelists - Sterne, Jane Austen, * Dickens, Thackeray, Trollope, James - have made the influence of literature on life their subject. The traditional task of the realist to imitate life takes on a further refinement when the novelist elects to imitate life imitating novels. Don Quixote, who set out on a quest to live a romance, is the ancestor of numbers of characters, like Elizabeth Bennet, Mrs Merdle, and Isabel Archer, who seek to invest their lives with aesthetic style. Juliet and Rowland McMaster show how the inevitable self-consciousness of the novelist who portrays characters acting according to literary precedent often manifests itself as an intense concern with the powers and failings of language. Words, as Sterne, Thackeray and Trollope are aware, may create their own structures that are independent of their intended use as pellucid expression. Tristram Shandy draws attention to 'tall, opake words,' which may be a barrier as often as a means to under- standing, and he weaves his doubts into the very fabric of his verbal communication with his reader. Trollope, in a concentrated study of a disintegrating marriage in He Knew He Was Right, shows similarly how his characters become entrapped in their own verbal structures ." Contents: Experience to expression in Tristram Shandy -- Pride and prejudice: acting by design -- Dickens and the horrific -- Dickens, the dandy, and the savage: a Victorian view of the romantic -- Great expectations -- Thackeray's things: time's local habitation -- The Pygmalion motif in The Newcomes -- An honourable emulation of the author of The Newcomes: James and Thackeray -- The portrait of Isabel Archer -- The turn of the screw -- The curse of words in He knew he was right.

Book is clean, tight and square. "There are several issues dominant in current critical writing about art which reveal themselves in Robert Houle?s work - the function of the artist/theorist; spirituality in art; deconstruction and reconstruction; the search for authenticity; border cultures and mediation - amongst others. For more than ten years, Robert Houle?s work has been an advance notice of these textual deliberations. Each of the essays in this publication covers some of these same issues, but each essay adds a layer of consideration to Houle?s work. Shirley Madill as curator of the exhibition addresses social and political determinants in Robert Houle?s art, while Clara Hargittay?s comments deal with artistic and personal biography. The dynamism of cultures and ethnic identities as reflected in Houle?s art are part of Jennifer Brown's analysis. Gerald McMaster contributes the bio/autobiographical perspective of a colleague and also artist/curator of First Nations heritage." - Carol Phillips in her acknowledgement.…
