Book Description
On the eve of March 24, 1999, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) began bombing the sovereign nation of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, a poorly developed nation the size of Kentucky with a population of eleven million. Led by the United States, NATO bombed Yugoslavia for seventy-eight days and nights, with the objective of ending the repression of the ethnic Albanian population in the province of Kosovo. This book explores the numerous questions about the legality, morality, and necessity of NATO's military intervention. Colonel Rothrock probes some of the pervasive questions about the Kosovo War: - Were all alternatives short of war explored? - Were conventions of international law contravened? - Why were some provisions of the Rambouillet peace agreement nonnegotiable? - Was the proposed Rambouillet agreement written with provisions that no sovereign nation could accept? - Why did the United States insist that only a NATO implementation force inside Yugoslavia and Kosovo was acceptable? - Why was the Yugoslavian Parliament's last-minute offer to consider an international occupation force other than NATO ignored?

Book Description
The November 2010 publication of over 250,000 classified U.S. diplomatic cables by the Wikileaks organisation put the spotlight of the world's attention on American diplomats. Beyond various sensationalist headlines, perhaps the most remarkable insight these releases provide is the tale of diligent, thoughtful and professional diplomats from the United States and other nations conducting the bidding of their governments; diplomacy, often in times of acute crisis brought on by war. The forebears of those currently assigned to Kabul and Baghdad, and London and Beijing, have an equally compelling tale to tell. In 'Diplomatic Investigations' (1966) British historian Herbert Butterfield sagely remarked that "Diplomacy may include anything short of actual war, therefore, and sometimes the kindest thing that one can say of it is that it is better than having the guns actually firing." 0Also part of series: History of International Relations Library; 36.

Book Description
The recent emergence of many new states and the creation of a large number of international institutions have resulted in considerable growth in the number of persons having diplomatic status. However, an unfortunate side-effect of this growth has been a corresponding increase in the number of attacks on diplomatic personnel, as symbolic figures diplomats are targets for all types of political violence. This book provides an in-depth examination of the legal and non-legal regimes directed towards the protection of diplomatic personnel around the world. It examines the theoretical and practical justifications for the granting of special protection to such personnel and also particular recent developments in international law relating to the prevention of terrorism and the development of international criminal law, including the International Criminal Court.

Book Description
This well-researched volume examines the Sino-Vietnamese hostilities of the late 1970s and 1980s, attempting to understand them as strategic, operational and tactical events. The Sino-Vietnamese War was the third Indochina war, and contemporary Southeast Asia cannot be properly understood unless we acknowledge that the Vietnamese fought three, not two, wars to establish their current role in the region. The war was not about the Sino-Vietnamese border, as frequently claimed, but about China’s support for its Cambodian ally, the Khmer Rouge, and the book addresses US and ASEAN involvement in the effort to support the regime. Although the Chinese completed their troop withdrawal in March 1979, they retained their strategic goal of driving Vietnam out of Cambodia at least until 1988, but it was evident by 1984-85 that the PLA, held back by the drag of its ‘Maoist’ organization, doctrine, equipment, and personnel, was not an effective instrument of coercion. Chinese Military Strategy in the Third Indochina War will be of great interest to all students of the Third Indochina War, Asian political history, Chinese security and strategic studies in general.

Book Description
The world is facing a crisis of unimagined proportions. Climate collapse and Corona are presenting us with challenges that could not even have been imagined just a few years ago. Terms like "debt brake" or "black zero" seem out of time. While the world is hunting for a vaccine, long suppressed grievances suddenly become visible. We are accustomed to a world of waste and prosperity and hardly notice that in Germany eight percent of farms manage more than half of all agricultural land and thus also collect the lion's share of EU subsidies. Unequal distribution of wealth and the devaluation of savings play into the hands of the political elites and produce ever greater dependencies.

Book Description
From Lakota warrior Crazy Horse to legendary Geronimo of the Apache Wars, this sweeping history of the American West tells the story of those who defended Native American lands--and the Native American way of life--from the 1850s through the end of the nineteenth century. This majestic narrative reveals little-known tales of Native American history, setting each event in the larger historical context of the transformation of the West. In elegant National Geographic style, hundreds of illustrations, maps, photographs, and artwork lay bare the bloody conflicts between Native Americans and European encroachment. Five stirring chapters reveal the five major types of conflicts involving Native Americans: the wars of resistance, the wars between empires, the wars betweeen the tribes, the wars of conquest, and the wars of survival. Within each chapter, vivid accounts of each battle tell the gripping stories of the major players, the point of combustion, and the tragic results. Readers will also get to know each tribe as distinct people, ranging from the so-called "civilized tribes" to the more aggressive warrior cultures. Rarely seen photographs and illustrations paint a vivid portrait of the time, featuring such notable figures as Kit Carson and Sitting Bull. Filled with original National Geographic maps, informative timelines, and a complete index, this extraordinary book captures one of the most significant moments in American history.

Book Description
For over twenty years the battlecruiser HMS 'Hood' toured the world as the most iconic warship in the Royal Navy. Unmatched in her beauty and charisma, 'Hood' is one of history's greatest warships. During the twilight years of the British Empire the 'Hood 'toured the world showing the flag as a symbol of British power. As the Royal Navy's show-ship, 'Hood' came to command a special place in the hearts and minds of the British public. Such was the regard for HMS 'Hood' that her destruction in the Denmark Strait on the morning of 24 May 1941 by the German battleship 'Bismarck' created dismay across the world. Within minutes of entering battle 'the Mighty Hood' as she was affectionately known, was destroyed by a catastrophic explosion which had echoes of Jutland a quarter of a century earlier. Out of a crew of a crew of 1,418, only 3 survived. The sinking of HMS 'Hood' was the single largest disaster ever sustained by the Royal Navy. This book charts the life and death of this legendary battlecruiser in both peace and war from her early origins, through the interwar years, to her destruction.

Book Description
An inquisitive, all-American grad student abruptly ends his protracted adolescence when a graduate art program lands him in West Africa during the explosive summer of 1977. His traveling artist workshops in Ghana and Nigeria deteriorate from a summer of anticipated light-hearted cultural inquiry to a gauntlet of survival. He cavorts with fetish worshipers, challenges greedy, often stoned soldiers, and dances with death, all in the name of higher education and accelerated maturity. He quickly sheds his laissez-faire persona, realizing he is not in Maryland anymore. Blending humor and history, original pen and ink drawings, and stories that leave the reader wanting more, Initiation Rites is a fictional memoir that touches an adventurous spirit in all of us, that few have ever followed.
