Book Synopsis Not War, Not Peace? by : George Perkovich
Download or read book Not War, Not Peace? written by George Perkovich and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-08-04 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mumbai blasts of 1993, the attack on the Indian Parliament in 2001, Mumbai 26/11—cross-border terrorism has continued unabated. What can India do to motivate Pakistan to do more to prevent such attacks? In the nuclear times that we live in, where a military counter-attack could escalate to destruction beyond imagination, overt warfare is clearly not an option. But since outright peace-making seems similarly infeasible, what combination of coercive pressure and bargaining could lead to peace? The authors provide, for the first time, a comprehensive assessment of the violent and non-violent options available to India for compelling Pakistan to take concrete steps towards curbing terrorism originating in its homeland. They draw on extensive interviews with senior Indian and Pakistani officials, in service and retired, to explore the challenges involved in compellence and to show how non-violent coercion combined with clarity on the economic, social and reputational costs of terrorism can better motivate Pakistan to pacify groups involved in cross-border terrorism. Not War, Not Peace? goes beyond the much discussed theories of nuclear deterrence and counterterrorism strategy to explore a new approach to resolving old conflicts.

Book Synopsis No Peace, No Honor by : Larry Berman
Download or read book No Peace, No Honor written by Larry Berman and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2001-09-23 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this shocking exposé on the betrayal of South Vietnam, premier historian Larry Berman uses never-before-seen North Vietnamese documents to create a sweeping indictment against President Nixon and Henry Kissinger. On April 30, 1975, when U.S. helicopters pulled the last soldiers out of Saigon, the question lingered: Had American and Vietnamese lives been lost in vain? When the city fell shortly thereafter, the answer was clearly yes. The Agreement on Ending the War and Restoring Peace in Vietnam—signed by Henry Kissinger in 1973, and hailed as "peace with honor" by President Nixon—was a travesty. In No Peace, No Honor, Larry Berman reveals the long-hidden truth in secret documents concerning U.S. negotiations that Kissinger had sealed—negotiations that led to his sharing the Nobel Peace Prize. Based on newly declassified information and a complete North Vietnamese transcription of the talks, Berman offers the real story for the first time, proving that there is only one word for Nixon and Kissinger's actions toward the United States' former ally, and the tens of thousands of soldiers who fought and died: betrayal.
Book Synopsis But There Was No Peace by : George C. Rable
Download or read book But There Was No Peace written by George C. Rable and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a comprehensive examination of the use of violence by conservative southerners in the post-Civil War South to subvert Federal Reconstruction policies, overthrow Republican state governments, restore Democratic power, and reestablish white racial hegemony. Historians have often stressed the limited and even conservative nature of Federal policy in the Reconstruction South. However, George C. Rable argues, white southerners saw the intent and the results of that policy as revolutionary. Violence therefore became a counterrevolutionary instrument, placing the South in a pattern familiar to students of world revolution.
Book Synopsis No Peace for the Wicked by : David Rolfs
Download or read book No Peace for the Wicked written by David Rolfs and published by Univ. of Tennessee Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive work of its kind, David Rolfs' No Peace for the Wicked sheds new light on the Northern Protestant soldiers' religious worldview and the various ways they used it to justify and interpret their wartime experiences. Drawing extensively from the letters, diaries and published collections of hundreds of religious soldiers, Rolfs effectively resurrects both these soldiers' religious ideals and their most profound spiritual doubts and conflicts. No Peace for the Wicked also explores the importance of "just war" theory in the formulation of Union military strategy and tactics, and examines why the most religious generation in U.S. history fought America's bloodiest war. --from publisher description.
Download or read book No Peace, No War written by Paul Richards and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The proliferation of 'new wars' since the end of the Cold War has forced scholars to re-open the debate about 'what is war?' For most commentators, 'new war' is mindless mass action. This book takes a different approach, reflecting on a paradoxical assumption that to understand war, we must deny it a special status.
Download or read book I Found No Peace written by Webb Miller and published by Decoubertin Books. This book was released on 2011-01-27 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In one year as a journalist Webb Miller covered thirty-three murders and three hangings in Chicago, was kidnapped by an American tycoon and covered the Western Front. Later he broke news of the First World War armistice, witnessed a guillotine execution, befriended Mussolini, interviewed Hitler, rode a Zeppelin across the Atlantic, reported from the front line in the Spanish Civil War and Italy's invasion of Abyssinia and accompanied Gandhi on the Great Salt March. First published in 1935, "I Found No Peace" is a forgotten classic, written with great poignancy and elan and heavily influenced by Miller's hero Henry David Thoreau. Part-history, part-memoir this is one of the most evocative and close-to-the-action accounts ever written about the modern world's defining era.

Book Synopsis No Peace, No Honor by : Larry Berman
Download or read book No Peace, No Honor written by Larry Berman and published by Free Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NO PEACE NO HONOR takes readers inside the negotiations that lead to the agreement Nixon famously called 'peace with honour' and reveals that the entire process was a sham. Through exhaustive, meticulous research, Larry Berman provides conclusive evidence that Kissenger crafted a deal he and Nixon expected and actually wanted North Vietnam to violate because it would allow them to continue the bombing with no threat of a congressional cut-off. Their secret plans to extend the war, he argues, were aborted only with the onset of the Watergate debacle. Tracing the step-by-step deception of both the South Vietnamese and the American public from initiatives that began as early as 1969, through the disgraceful peace agreement that cost the country it's honour, this extraordinary book is a benchmark in the literature of Vietnam.

Book Synopsis The Ultimate Weapon Is No Weapon by : Shannon D. Beebe
Download or read book The Ultimate Weapon Is No Weapon written by Shannon D. Beebe and published by ReadHowYouWant.com. This book was released on 2010-09 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twenty-first century has seen millions unemployed. It has seen livelihoods undermined by environmental degradation. Middle-class cities in Europe, Asia, and Africa have become cauldrons of violence and resentment. Tribalism, ethnic nationalism, and religious fundamentalism have fl are dangerously, from Russia to Spain. The use of force is unlikely to help. What works when counter-insurgency has run its course: in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and beyond? In this book, two authors brought together from distant points on the political spectrum by their concerns about the repercussions of violent political conflict on human lives, explain and explore a new idea for stabilizing the dangerous neighborhoods of the world. They challenge head-on Condoleezza Rice's declaration that ''it is not the job of the 82nd Airborne Division to escort kids to kindergarten'' contending that, in fact, it should be. When marginalized populations are trapped in poverty and lawlessness and denied political power and justice brutality, and fascism thrive. Human security is a new concept for clarifying what peace requires and the policies and priorities by which to achieve it.
Book Synopsis The Middle East and World War III by : Michael Calvo
Download or read book The Middle East and World War III written by Michael Calvo and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-12-12 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DESCRIPTION OF THE BOOK "The Middle East and World War III - Why No Peace? by Dr. Michael A CALVO, Foreword by Colonel Richard KEMP CBE. For Colonel Richard KEMP - retired British Army officer who commanded British Forces in Afghanistan and headed the International Terrorism Intelligence Team in the UK Prime Minister's office - who wrote the Foreword, this book is "the first book that rigorously considers the critical question of why the Middle East seems unable to achieve peace. It should be read by all political leaders, academics, journalists, students and anyone who wants to understand why there is no peace and what may happen." This book is also the first multimedia book to document the terrorist and anti-Israeli Palestinian system and pattern of behavior. By multimedia, we mean that beyond reading, the readers can see and hear videos, which are on internet, on their smart phone after loading a free QR Code application. For a QR code explanation for the book, see here: https://youtu.be/ bCyX3q4Se9o This book answers the question why there is no peace in the Middle East, in spite of the active involvement of the U.S. and other major powers, and why Pope Francis said that the world has already entered World War III. Terrorists and their families receive salaries and the Europeans and the Americans continue to finance the Palestinian Jihad against the Jews in their land. Why? If there is an international criminal responsibility, there is also a lack of prosecution. The author also analyses the rise of ISIS and the alliance of anti-Semites, anti-Jewish churches and radical leftists, Radical Green and Muslims worldwide leading BDS actions against Israel. Why are these actions financed primarily by the European Union and its member states, through European, Palestinian and Christian and Muslim NGOs? Is there a joint European/Palestinian/Arab/ Muslim strategy? The author analyses the legal propaganda war against Israel covering many fields and how to answer. Are the territories of Judea Samaria (West Bank) occupied, disputed or liberated? To whom do they legally belong? The author brings us a wider perspective of the Middle East conflict. Palestinian leaders, the Muslim Brotherhood, most of the Muslim States, Saudi Arabia's Wahhabis', Iranian Mollahs and ISIS, share the same Jihadi ideology encapsulated in one sentence: "Allah is our goal, the prophet is our ideal, the Koran is our constitution, jihad is our way, and death for the sake of Allah is our aspiration". This ideology justifies the killing of the Jews and "infidels", Christians, Yazidis, Hinduists, Buddhists, non-believers, from the United States to China, from Europe to Africa, from the Atlantic to the Philippines. The World is facing terror attacks that Israel endured since Oslo in 1993 (suicide bombing attacks, shootings, stabbings, car ramming) under the same cry battle of "Allahu Akbar" (G.d is Great). In reality, the conflict is not a territorial conflict. It is a theological/metaphysical conflict of Muslims against the Jews and the non-Muslim world, with no solution in view. Is this in accordance with the Koran? What safe solutions can be proposed? After reading the book "THE MIDDLE EAST AND WORLD WAR III - Why No Peace?" you will be able to answer many such questions by yourself. For additional description of the book, see Amb. Alan Baker at : http://www.jpost.com/Opinion/ The-Middle-East-and-World-War- III-Why-No-Peace-522589 And Colonel Richard KEMP at: https://www. gatestoneinstitute.org/11748/ arab-israel-conflict-peace

Book Synopsis War No More: Three Centuries of American Antiwar & Peace Writing (LOA #278) by : Lawrence Rosenwald
Download or read book War No More: Three Centuries of American Antiwar & Peace Writing (LOA #278) written by Lawrence Rosenwald and published by Library of America. This book was released on 2016-06-14 with total page 1115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A powerful collection of essential American antiwar writings, from the Revolution to the war on terror—featuring over 150 eloquent, provocative voices for peace Library of America presents an unprecedented tribute to a great American literary tradition. War has been a reality of the American experience from the founding of the nation and in every generation there have been dedicated and passionate visionaries who have responded to this reality with vital calls for peace. Spanning from the American Revolution to the war on terror, War No More gathers the essential texts of this uniquely American antiwar tradition in one volume for the first time. Classic expressions of conscience like Thoreau’s seminal “Civil Disobedience” lay the groundwork for such influential modern theorists of nonviolence as David Dellinger, Thomas Merton, and Barbara Deming. The long arc of the American antiwar movement is vividly traced in the urgent appeals of activists, made in soaring oratory and galvanizing song, and in dramatic dispatches from the front lines of antiwar protests. The voices of veterans, from the Civil War to the Iraq War, are prominently represented, as is the firsthand testimony of conscientious objectors. Contemporary writers—including Barbara Kingsolver, Jonathan Schell, Nicholson Baker, and Jane Hirshfield—demonstrate the ongoing richness of this literature in the years since September 11, 2001. Featuring more than 150 eloquent and provocative writers in all, War No More is a bible for activists, a go-to resource for scholars and students, and an inspiring and fascinating story for every reader interested in the crosscurrents of war and peace in American history.

Download or read book Never at War written by Spencer R. Weart and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1998-01-01 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This lively survey of the history of conflict between democracies reveals a remarkable--and tremendously important--finding: fully democratic nations have never made war on other democracies. Furthermore, historian Spencer R. Weart concludes in this thought-provoking book, they probably never will. Building his argument on some forty case studies ranging through history from ancient Athens to Renaissance Italy to modern America, the author analyzes for the first time every instance in which democracies or regimes like democracies have confronted each other with military force. Weart establishes a consistent set of definitions of democracy and other key terms, then draws on an array of international sources to demonstrate the absence of war among states of a particular democratic type. His survey also reveals the new and unexpected finding of a still broader zone of peace among oligarchic republics, even though there are more of such minority-controlled governments than democracies in history. In addition, Weart discovers that peaceful leagues and confederations--the converse of war--endure only when member states are democracies or oligarchies. With the help of related findings in political science, anthropology, and social psychology, the author explores how the political culture of democratic leaders prevents them from warring against others who are recognized as fellow democrats and how certain beliefs and behaviors lead to peace or war. Weart identifies danger points for democracies, and he offers crucial, practical information to help safeguard peace in the future.
