Book Description
The gripping, untold story of The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and how the perpetrators of Balkan war crimes were captured by the most successful manhunt in history Written with a thrilling narrative pull, The Butcher’s Trail chronicles the pursuit and capture of the Balkan war criminals indicted by the International Criminal Tribunal in The Hague. Borger recounts how Radovan Karadžić and Ratko Mladić—both now on trial in The Hague—were finally tracked down, and describes the intrigue behind the arrest of Slobodan Milosevic, the Yugoslav president who became the first head of state to stand before an international tribunal for crimes perpetrated in a time of war. Based on interviews with former special forces soldiers, intelligence officials, and investigators from a dozen countries—most speaking about their involvement for the first time—this book reconstructs a fourteen-year manhunt carried out almost entirely in secret. Indicting the worst war criminals that Europe had known since the Nazi era, the ICTY ultimately accounted for all 161 suspects on its wanted list, a feat never before achieved in political and military history.

Borger
Author: Jane Snyder Agee
Publisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 0738585416
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 130
Book Description
When A.P. "Ace" Borger came from Oklahoma to the Texas Panhandle's high plains in 1926, he saw what others had seen: a barren landscape, populated sparsely, with cattle and wildlife. However, through the experienced eyes of a town builder, Ace envisioned a booming, growing, all-American city. They laughed when he bought 240 acres thinking the attraction of black gold would bring enough people to make a profit. Borger was a true boomtown with all the appendages--fugitives, drug dealers, gaming houses, dance halls, prostitutes, and dishonest officers--though one could say boomtown hysteria ended with the assassination of Ace. Virtuous people, each with a vision, came to Borger to start churches, hospitals, and schools, raise families, profit from honest businesses, and restrain criminals. As citizens worked together, Borger became a 1970 All-America City. Now in its 86th year, Borger is a quiet, conservative Texas city towering above its epitaph of "the wildest town in America."

Diary of an Innovator
Author: Tom Borger
Publisher: CreateSpace
ISBN: 9781492804178
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
Innovation is what every company wants to be able to do, but so few can actually do. It sounds sexy. It sounds cool. It sounds like the right thing to say: “The way to succeed in the market place is through innovation!” Every company believes that their future success depends on it. The desire is there. Why can't the actions follow the intent? What is missing?In this insider's guide to innovation, Tom Borger reveals something that most companies do not want to admit, but that innovators and entrepreneurs have always known. Innovation success is not about the process. Most companies spend a lot of time and energy refining their innovation process. Leaders want to believe that if they could just get the right process in place, the latent innovative talent of their organization would be revealed. Process is an important component but this is typically something that many companies can get right. The truth is that the process is a commodity. What companies are missing is the premium--the people. People drive the innovation process. Innovation is not something you can put on autopilot with the right process. Innovation is about the people—attracting them to the organization and inspiring them to unleash their passion to drive the business.Tom shares numerous first-hand accounts of his efforts to drive innovation—in Fortune 500 companies as well as start-up businesses. This is a revealing study of the trials and tribulations of an innovator who drove change in organizations where the comfort of the status quo ruled. He forces the reader to hold up a mirror to reflect on their own actions (and in some case, inaction) in order to recognize that they are responsible for driving innovation and change. There are no excuses for inaction. Leaders must free people in the organization to make things happen, try new things, and challenge tradition and precedent. Individuals, not processes, create the future. It is not an easy path. There is no playbook. Be prepared for a long series of trial and error as you course-correct your way to success. The path to innovation is paved with failures. Embrace this reality.Uncertainty and inexperience are powerful sources of opportunity to innovators and sources of concern to the keepers of the status quo. Diary of an Innovator provides inspiration to the entrepreneur and innovator inside us all. It provides the call to action: let the innovator inside out!
