Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - One of the foremost exponents of the Hindustani classical tradition, music maestro Pandit Bhimsen Joshi (1922-2011) mesmerized audiences with his soulful renditions of bhajans and khayals. A legend who amalgamated technical skill with passion and intensity, who took the kirana gharana to th…e masses, he was conferred the Bharat Ratna in 2009-the only male vocalist, so far, to have been honoured with this award. In this intensely emotional account, Bhimsen Joshi and his first wife Sunanda's son, Raghavendra, journeys from childhood to adulthood to recreate his father's life, piecing together the myriad anecdotes and revelations he gathered over the years from various family members. He reminisces the days spent with his Bhimanna, the early morning riyaz with a resonating tanpura, the drives across the country for a concert, the Bhairavi echoing in distant horizons, as well as tales of his interaction with common people and his mastery over several languages.This is a revealing account of the legendary singer's little-known personal life. This is the memoir of Bhimanna's forsaken son who lived in the shadow of his father's brilliance.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Blood Year is an unsparingly honest, self-critical analysis of the collapse of western counterterrorism strategy and the subsequent rise of Islamic State. As a soldier, counterterrorism official, and Chief Strategist in the US State Department''s Bureau of Counterterrorism, David Kilcullen…was one of the original architects of US and allied counterterrorism policy. Kilcullen''s frank assessment - that the strategy he helped design has failed, that it has not made us safer, and has contributed to new threats, including Islamic State - makes this short book mandatory reading for anyone interested in how terrorism is confronted. The most startling part of his analysis is that there may be worse dangers than ISIS incubating in various parts of the world.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - This book is the first full length political history of the Afghan Army, and as such is unparalleled in the range and depth of its analysis of this vitally important institution. Giustozzi locates the Army's development within the wider context of state-building in Afghanistan. His volume includes… a brief survey of the period to 1953, but focuses mainly on subsequent developments, over the last four decades, as the officer corps began to be politicised and later factionalised, especially during the Russian-backed regime of the Communist People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan (PDPA), which ruled the country from 1978 to 1992. Despite the stress on the politics of praetorianism, the volume describes the Afghan Army's performance on the battlefield in detail, highlighting the potential contradiction between military effectiveness and political loyalty to the ruling elite. The volume covers developments to the end of 2013 and is the result of extensive interviews conducted with both Afghan Army officers and their advisers and mentors.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The dilemmas precipitated by the unintentional killing of civilians in war, or 'collateral damage', shape many aspects of military conduct, yet noticeable by its absence has been a methodical examination of the place and role of this phenomenon in modern warfare. This book offers a fresh perspecti…ve on a distressing consequence of conflict.
