Book Description
Roussel said “I am proud to be a member of B.L.A.C.K. M.A.M.B.A. It is the most powerful terrorist organization ever created, headed by some of the greatest criminal minds in history.” Conner said, “Why choose to be a criminal?” The strong, telling rhetoric of Jack Duffy’s books bring us into a world of suspense and surprise, where chance, fate, and coincidence lure. His latest gem, the B.L.A.C.K. M.A.M.B.A. delivers—the pages fly! Dr. Phil Van Auken “Author Jack Duffy has hit a literary grand slam with the outstanding spy novel B.L.A.C.K. M.A.M.B.A., a thrilling roller coaster ride that grabs you by the throat and refuses to let go! Very well written, enthralling and quite a page turner, I found B.L.A.C.K. M.A.M.B.A. very hard to put down. It reads like an excellent Hollywood script. Agents Clint Conner and Nikolai Aleksandrov come to life in the pages of this finely crafted novel grounded in contemporary times and reality. What makes B.L.A.C.K. M.A.M.B.A. extra special is the feeling that these events have actually occurred. Highly recommended!” Vince Palamara, author of five books including Honest Answers About the Murder of President John F. Kennedy: A New Look at the JFK Assassination

Warlords
Author: Kimberly Marten
Publisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 0801464587
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 279
Book Description
Warlords are individuals who control small territories within weak states, using a combination of force and patronage. In this book, Kimberly Marten shows why and how warlords undermine state sovereignty. Unlike the feudal lords of a previous era, warlords today are not state-builders. Instead they collude with cost-conscious, corrupt, or frightened state officials to flout and undermine state capacity. They thrive on illegality, relying on private militias for support, and often provoke violent resentment from those who are cut out of their networks. Some act as middlemen for competing states, helping to hollow out their own states from within. Countries ranging from the United States to Russia have repeatedly chosen to ally with warlords, but Marten argues that to do so is a dangerous proposition. Drawing on interviews, documents, local press reports, and in-depth historical analysis, Marten examines warlordism in the Pakistani tribal areas during the twentieth century, in post-Soviet Georgia and the Russian republic of Chechnya, and among Sunni militias in the U.S.-supported Anbar Awakening and Sons of Iraq programs. In each case state leaders (some domestic and others foreign) created, tolerated, actively supported, undermined, or overthrew warlords and their militias. Marten draws lessons from these experiences to generate new arguments about the relationship between states, sovereignty, "local power brokers," and stability and security in the modern world.

The Gathering Company
Author: Luo Guanzhong
Publisher: The Chinese University of Hong Kong Press
ISBN: 9882378609
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 404
Book Description
This is the third volume of a series of the new translation of the Chinese classical novel generally known as The Water Margin. In this volume, the company of outlaws on Mount Liang continues to grow a butcher, a blacksmith, a public executioner, a petty thief& and the usual generals defecting from the government forces. Lu Zhishen, the Flowery Monk, and his companions from Twin Dragon Peak reappear and finally join the company, uniting two important strands of the story. Some episodes are relatively light: a tiger is stolen, an innkeeper's favourite rooster is illicitly eaten, Iron Ox is lowered to the bottom of a well and nearly gets forgotten. But in general the mood is darker. The naked bodies of a lecherous wife is carved up, an innocent child is mercilessly dispatched to gain a reluctant recruit. Chao Gai, the leader on Mount Liang, is killed in battle. Song Jiang replaces him, but for how long can he control his unruly forces? Despite the attraction of the life on the marshes, with its rootless freedom and rough code of honour, we are not to forget how the story was launched, when 108 Demon Princes were released in a black cloud. This series of new translation by John and Alex Dent-Young is also the first English translation of the 120-chapter version of The Water Margin. The translators have made the English translation as readable to English readers as possible by finding meaningful equivalents for many local terms and proverbial expressions, while aiming to retain some flavour of other times and customs. Readers in the West, even with no specialized knowledge of Chinese, will certainly enjoy the stories and characters presented in the novel.
