Book Description
Not many people complain of parachutes failing. It is usually too late. Like parachutes, inadequate insurance programs are many times discovered posthaste following a catastrophe, often much to the surprise of management. In this book, we discuss some real-life stories of uninsured or underinsured disasters and coverage disputes. These stories are largely based upon our experiences as insurance expert witnesses in cases where an improperly designed insurance program led to years of litigation, unimaginable costs, and sometimes the bankruptcy of the business and its owner. The mission of this book is to capture the attention of executives on why the way they may be buying business insurance could be all wrong and to provide suggestions on how to improve the process. We write this book as an antivirus scanning program of sorts for the insurance buyer to use in analyzing whether a business insurance agency and insurer are properly packing the companys parachute.

Book Description
The British have never fought against the Soviet army, right? Wrong. In 1980, Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher had taken over the leadership of the West and the Soviets has invaded Afghanistan; the most crucial battle of the cold war was about to begin. In the high mountain passes of the north-west Frontier and the Hindu Kush, the CIA and its Western allies saw an opportunity to bring the mighty Soviet to its knees. Their weapon: the Islamic guerrillas of the Afghan Mujahideen. Their agent: Tom Carew, the first Western agent to link up with the Mujahideen, led a series of daring initiatives inside Afghanistan. His account covers in extraordinary and revealing detail combat action against the Soviet Spetsnaz and Afghan mercenaries; reconnaissance missions leading to the installation of the first West-sponsored training camp for the Mujahideen in Pakistan; and Carew’s attempt to hijack an aircraft during a covert arms-buying mission. During these operations, the author was accepted and befriended by the fundamentalist Mujahideen and became as close to them as any European infidel could ever get. In many ways he was a latter-day Lawrence of Arabia. Tom Carew later rejoined his unit. Wry, perceptive and sensitive, Jihad! is a fast-paced account of combat espionage and high adventure, against the backdrop of the last truly wild and lawless country on Earth. It sheds unprecedented light on the sharp edge of the cold war and the conduct of special operations in the modern era.
