<br>
Never before has a journalist penetrated the wall of secrecy that surrounds the U.S. Secret Service, that elite corps of agents who pledge to take a bullet to protect the president and his family. After conducting exclusive interviews with more than one hundred current and former Secret Service agents, bestselling author and award-winning reporter Ronald Kessler reveals their secrets for the first time.<br><br>Secret Service agents, acting as human surveillance cameras, observe everything that goes on behind the scenes in the presidents inner circle. Kessler reveals what they have seen, providing startling, previously untold stories about the presidents, from John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson to George W. Bush and Barack Obama, as well as about their families, Cabinet officers, and White House aides. <br><br>Kessler portrays the dangers that agents face and how they carry out their missionsfrom how they are trained to how they spot and assess potential threats. With fly-on-the-wall perspective, he captures the drama and tension that characterize agents lives.<br><br>In this headline-grabbing book, Kessler discloses assassination attempts that have never before been revealed. He shares inside accounts of past assaults that have put the Secret Service to the test, including a heroic gun battle that took down the would-be assassins of Harry S. Truman, the devastating day that John F. Kennedy was killed in Dallas, and the swift actions that saved Ronald Reagan after he was shot.<br><br>While Secret Service agents are brave and dedicated, Kessler exposes how Secret Service management in recent years has betrayed its mission by cutting corners, risking the assassination of President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, and their families. Given the lax standards, Its a miracle we have not had a successful assassination, a current agent says.<br><br>Since an assassination jeopardizes democracy itself, few agencies are as important as the Secret Servicenor is any other subject as tantalizing as the inner sanctum of the White House. Only tight-lipped Secret Service agents know the real story, and Ronald Kessler is the only journalist to have won their trust.<br><br><br><i>From the Hardcover edition.</i>

<br>
The racial gap in academic performance between whites and Asians, on the one hand, and Latinos and blacks, on the other hand, is America's most urgent educational problem. It is also the central civil rights issue of our time, say Abigail and Stephan Thernstrom. Unequal skills and knowledge are the main sources of ongoing racial inequality, and racial inequality is America's great unfinished business.A wide and tragic gap in learning is evident in affluent suburbs as well as inner cities. But great schools are scattered across the country, as described in inspiring detail by the Thernstroms. These schools are putting even the most highly disadvantaged children on the American ladder of economic opportunity.There are no good excuses for the perpetuation of long-standing inequalities, the Thernstroms argue eloquently. The problem can be solved, but conventional strategies will not work. Fundamental educational reform is needed. Carefully researched, accessibly written, and powerfully persuasive, this book offers both a close analysis of the current landscape and a blueprint for essential and overdue change.

Idiot America: How Stupidity Became a Virtue in the Land of the Free (Mobipocket)" border="0"/></a>
<br>
The Culture Wars Are Over and the Idiots Have WonA veteran journalist's acidically funny, righteously angry lament about the glorification of ignorance in the United States.In the midst of a career-long quest to separate the smart from the pap, Charles Pierce had a defining moment at the Creation Museum in Kentucky, where he observed a dinosaur. Wearing a saddle.... But worse than this was when the proprietor exclaimed to a cheering crowd, We are taking the dinosaurs back from the evolutionists! He knew then and there it was time to try and salvage the Land of the Enlightened, buried somewhere in this new Home of the Uninformed.With his razor-sharp wit and erudite reasoning, Pierce delivers a gut-wrenching, side-splitting lament about the glorification of ignorance in the United States, and how a country founded on intellectual curiosity has somehow deteriorated into a nation of simpletons more apt to vote for an American Idol contestant than a presidential candidate.With Idiot America, Pierce's thunderous denunciation is also a secret call to action, as he hopes that somehow, being intelligent will stop being a stigma, and that pinheads will once again be pitied, not celebrated.

<title>Alcaire, Fred Throwback! (Mobipocket) eBook</title>

<br>
<P>The pen-name Fred Alcaire is an anagram of free radical and this work, Throwback!, is described by the author as an historical docu-drama. He says it compares the conflicts of the 5<SUP>th</SUP> century AD between Attila the Hun and the Roman Empire with the current conflict between Shaykh Usamah Bin Muhammad ibn Ladin and the USA.</P> <P>&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The book argues the inevitability of such clashes, which it claims are invited by empires because of the very fact and nature of their existence, and postulates that it is the notion of empire which we, as a species, must abandon in order to achieve true progress.</P> <P>&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Alcaire writes : But we would be making a grave mistake if we thought that scientific knowledge and understanding, allied to technical innovation combined with industrial and commercial development, can be used to measure human progress in terms of our being more or less civilised.</P> <P>&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The only true measure of our civilisation is that indicated by our behaviour, by the way we use our knowledge and our technology in our relations with one another as individuals and as national, religious, or cultural groups.</P> <P>&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; If we behave like little children, in a self-centred, selfish way, throwing tantrums, and hurling objects at each other as we did hundreds and thousands of years ago; bullets, bombs, rockets and other missiles instead of rocks, spears and arrows, then we are not civilised; we are still savages.</P> <P>&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; In alternating chapters the thoroughly researched Throwback! catalogues the events of both eras and with damning accuracy is especially scathing of the&amp;nbsp; administration of the USA under President George W Bush.</P> <P>&amp;nbsp;</P>

<br>
First came the postwar High, then the Awakening of the '60s and '70s, and now the Unraveling.This audacious and provocative book tells us what to expect just beyond the start of the next century.Are you ready for the Fourth Turning?Strauss and Howe will change the way you see the world--and your place in it.In The Fourth Turning, they apply their generational theories to the cycles of history and locate America in the middle of an unraveling period, on the brink of a crisis.How you prepare for this crisis--the Fourth Turning--is intimately connected to the mood and attitude of your particular generation.Are you one of the can-do "GI generation," who triumphed in the last crisis?Do you belong to the mediating "Silent Majority," who enjoyed the 1950s High?Do you fall into the "awakened" Boomer category of the 1970s and 1980s, or are you a Gen-Xer struggling to adapt to our splintering world?Whatever your stage of life, The Fourth Turning offers bold predictions about how all of us can prepare, individually and collectively, for America's next rendezvous with destiny.

<title>Ifill, Gwen The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama  eBook</title>

<br>
<P>In <I>The Breakthrough</I>, veteran journalist Gwen Ifill surveys the American political landscape, shedding new light on the impact of Barack Obamas stunning presidential victory and introducing the emerging young African American politicians forging a bold new path to political power. <BR><BR>Ifill argues that the Black political structure formed during the Civil Rights movement is giving way to a generation of men and women who are the direct beneficiaries of the struggles of the 1960s. She offers incisive, detailed profiles of such prominent leaders as Newark Mayor Cory Booker, Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, and U.S. Congressman Artur Davis of Alabama (all interviewed for this book), and also covers numerous up-and-coming figures from across the nation. Drawing on exclusive interviews with power brokers such as President Obama, former Secretary of State Colin Powell, Vernon Jordan, the Reverend Jesse Jackson, his son Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr., and many others, as well as her own razor-sharp observations and analysis of such issues as generational conflict, the race/ gender clash, and the "black enough" conundrum, Ifill shows why this is a pivotal moment in American history. <BR><BR><I>The Breakthrough </I>is a remarkable look at contemporary politics and an essential foundation for understanding the future of American democracy in the age of Obama.</P>

<title>Heilbrunn, Jacob They Knew They Were Right: The Rise of the Neocons (Mobipocket) eBook</title>
<description><![CDATA[
<a href="http://www.ebooksabouteverything.com/ebooks/item/9780307472489/Heilbrunn,-Jacob-They-Knew-They-Were-Right:-The-Rise-of-the-Neocons-(Mobipocket).html"><img src="http://www.ebooksabouteverything.com/mas_assets/thumb/9780307472489.jpg" alt="Heilbrunn, Jacob They Knew They Were Right: The Rise of the Neocons (Mobipocket)" border="0"/></a>
<br>
The neocons have become at once the most feared and reviled intellectual movement in American history. Critics on left and right describe them as a tight-knit cabal that ensnared the Bush administration in an unwinnable foreign war.<br><br>Who are the neoconservatives? How did an obscure band of policy intellectuals, left for dead in the 1990s, suddenly rise to influence the Bush administration and revolutionize American foreign policy?<br><br>Jacob Heilbrunn wittily and pungently depicts the government officials, pundits, and think-tank denizens who make up this controversial movement, bringing them to life against a background rich in historical detail and political insight. Setting the movement in the larger context of the decades-long battle between liberals and conservatives, first over communism, now over the war on terrorism, he shows that they have always been intellectual mavericks, with a fiery prophetic temperament (and a rhetoric to match) that sets them apart from both liberals and traditional conservatives.<br><br>Neoconservatism grew out of a split in the 1930s between Stalinists and followers of Trotsky. These obscure ideological battles between warring Marxist factions were transported to the larger canvas of the Cold War, as over time the neocons moved steadily to the right, abandoning the Democratic party after 1972 when it shunned intervention abroad, and completing their journey in 1980 when they embraced Ronald Reagan and the Republican party. There they supplied the ideological glue that held the Reagan coalition together, combining the agenda of &amp;#8220;family values&amp;#8221; with a crusading foreign policy.<br><br>Out of favor with the first President Bush, and reduced to gadflies in the Clinton years, they suddenly found themselves in George W. Bush&amp;#8217;s administration in a position of unprecendented influence. For the first time in their long history, they had their hands on the levers of power. Prompted by 9/11, they used that power to advance what they believed to be America&amp;#8217;s strategic interest in spreading democracy throughout the Arab world.<br><br>Their critics charge that the neo-conservatives were doing the bidding of the Israeli government -- a charge that the neoconservatives rightfully reject. But Heilbrunn shows that the story of the neocons is inseparable from the great historical drama of Jewish assimilation. Decisively shaped by the immigrant exerience and the trauma of the Holocaust, they rose from the margins of political life to become an insurgent counter-establishment that challenged the old WASP foreign policy elite.<br><br>Far from being chastened by the Iraq debacle, the neocons continue to guide foreign policy. They are advisors to each of the major GOP presidential candidates. Repeatedly declared dead in the past, like Old Testament prophets they thrive on adversity. This book shows where they came from -- and why they remain a potent and permanent force in American politics.<br><br><br><i>From the Hardcover edition.</i>

<br>
In her most controversial and fiercely argued book yet, Ann Coulter calls out liberals for always playing the victim  when in fact, as she sees it, they are the victimizers. In GUILTY, Coulter explodes this myth to reveal that when it comes to bullying, no one outdoes the Left. GUILTY is a mordantly witty and shockingly specific catalog of offenses which Coulter presents from A to Z. And as with each of her past books, all of which were NYT bestsellers, Coulter is fearless in her penchant for saying what needs saying about politics and culture today.<BR><BR><BR><I>From the Hardcover edition.</I>

<br>
In this timely book, Gwyneth Cravens takes an informed and clarifying look at the myths, the fears, and the truth about nuclear energy.With concerns about catastrophic global warming mounting, it is vital that we examine all our energy options. Power to Save the World describes the efforts of one determined woman, Gwyneth Cravens, initially a skeptic about nuclear power, as she spends nearly a decade immersing herself in the subject. She teams up with a leading expert in risk assessment and nuclear safety who is also a committed environmentalist to trace the path of uraniumthe source of nuclear fuelfrom start to finish. As we accompany them on visits to mines as well as to experimental reactor laboratories, fortress-like power plants, and remote waste sites normally off-limits to the public, we come to see that we already have a feasible way to address the causes of global warming on a large scale.On the nuclear tour, Cravens converses with scientists from many disciplines, public health and counterterrorism experts, engineers, and researchers who study both the harmful and benign effects of radiation; she watches remote-controlled robotic manipulators unbolt a canister of spent uranium fuel inside a hot cell bathed in eerie orange light; observes the dark haze from fossil-fuel combustion obscuring once-pristine New Mexico skies and the leaky, rusted pipes and sooty puddles in a coal-fired plant; glimpses rainbows made by salt dust in the deep subterranean corridors of a working nuclear waste repository. She refutes the major arguments against nuclear power one by one, making clear, for example, that a stroll through Grand Central Terminal exposes a person to more radiation than a walk of equal length through a uranium mine; that average background radiation around Chernobyl and in Hiroshima is lower than in Denver; that there are no cancer clusters near nuclear facilities; that terrorists could neither penetrate the security at an American nuclear plant nor make an atomic bomb from its fuel; that nuclear waste can beand already issafely stored; that wind and solar power, while important, can meet only a fraction of the demand for electricity; that a coal-fired plant releases more radiation than a nuclear plant and also emits deadly toxic waste that kills thousands of Americans a month; that in its fifty-year history American nuclear power has not caused a single death. And she demonstrates how, time and again, political fearmongering and misperceptions about risk have trumped science in the dialogue about the feasibility of nuclear energy.In the end, we see how nuclear power has been successfully and economically harnessed here and around the globe to become the single largest displacer of greenhouse gases, and how its overall risks and benefits compare with those of other energy sources.Power to Save the World is an eloquent, convincing argument for nuclear power as a safe energy source and an essential deterrent to global warming.

<br>
&amp;#8220;It ain&amp;#8217;t so much the things we don&amp;#8217;t know that get us into trouble,nineteenth-century humorist Josh Billings remarked. &amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s the things we know that just ain&amp;#8217;t so.&amp;#8221; <BR><BR><BR>In this bold and brilliantly argued book, acclaimed author and talk-radio host Michael Medved zeroes in on ten of the biggest fallacies that millions of Americans believe about our country&amp;#8212;in spite of incontrovertible facts to the contrary. In <I>The 10 Big Lies About America</I>, Medved pinpoints the most pernicious pieces of America-bashing disinformation that pollute current debates about the economy, race, religion in politics, the Iraq war, and other contentious issues.<BR><BR>The myths that Medved deftly debunks include:<BR><BR>Myth: The United States is uniquely guilty for the crime of slavery and based its wealth on stolen African labor.<BR><BR>Fact: The colonies that became the United States accounted for, at most, 3 percent of the abominable international slave trade; the persistence of slavery in America slowed economic progress; and the U.S. deserves unique credit for ending slavery.<BR><BR>Myth: The alarming rise of big business hurts the United States and oppresses its people. <BR><BR>Fact: Corporations played an indispensable role in building America, and corporate growth has brought progress that benefits all with cheaper goods and better jobs. <BR><BR>Myth: The Founders intended a secular, not Christian, nation. <BR><BR>Fact: Even after ratifying the Constitution, fully half the state governments endorsed specific Chris&amp;#173;tian denominations. And just a day after approving the First Amendment, forbidding the establishment of religion, Congress called for a national &amp;#8220;day of public thanksgiving and prayer&amp;#8221; to acknowledge &amp;#8220;the many signal favors of Almighty God.&amp;#8221;<BR><BR>Myth: A war on the middle class means less comfort and opportunity for the average American. <BR><BR>Fact: Familiar campaign rhetoric about the victimized middle class ignores the overwhelming statistical evidence that the standard of living keeps rising for every segment of the population, as well as the real-life experience of tens of millions of middle-class Americans.<BR><BR>Each of the ten lies&amp;#8212;widely believed among elites and taught as truth in universities and public schools&amp;#8212;is a grotesque, propagandistic distortion of the historical record. For everyone who is tired of hearing America denigrated by people who don&amp;#8217;t know what they&amp;#8217;re talking about, <I>The 10 Big Lies About America </I>supplies the ammunition necessary to fire back the next time somebody tries to recycle these baseless beliefs. Medved&amp;#8217;s witty, well-documented rebuttal is a refreshing reminder that as Americans we should feel blessed, not burdened, by our heritage.<BR><BR><BR><I>From the Hardcover edition.</I>

A., Tokyo Reversal of Islamization in Pakistan (Mobipocket)" border="0"/></a>
<br>
Pakistan was carved out of India in 1947 after tremendous sacrifices of life, honor and money, as Muslims wanted to get rid of domination of Hindu majority and practice their own culture, ideology, system of life&amp;nbsp;and religion in their own country without any restrictions. Therefore, Islamic constitution was passed in 1956 and a part of Shariah was implemented in the form of Hudood Laws in 1979, as enacted by General Zia-ul-Haq.&amp;nbsp; But under American pressure against Islamic Laws, as shown by the report of the State Department in the book, the US stalwart, Gen. Musharraf abrogated them.&amp;nbsp; He aslo murdered innocent students of Lal Mosque to teach a lesson to those who call for an Islamic state in Pakistan.&amp;nbsp; He wanted to transform our country&amp;nbsp;into a secular state like Ataturk's Turkey.&amp;nbsp; After about 80 years, Secularim, which was imposed by a military dictator Mustafa Kamal Ataturk in 1923 after abolishing 600-year old Muslim Caliphate,&amp;nbsp;has failed in Turkey and an Islamist Party is ruling it for the last 5 years or more and getting greater majority in each succesive election. The&amp;nbsp;President is also an Islamist, against whose appointment Secularists demonstrated and used the power of Judiciary unsuccessfully. Gen. Musharraf tried&amp;nbsp;to impose this failed 80-year-old Turkish experiment&amp;nbsp;of Secularim in Pakistan and was forced to resign in disgrace to save himself from the impending impeachment. &amp;nbsp;The book shows how he tried to reverse the Islamization of Pakistan.

<title>Georget, Pierre Bar codes, when business invents its own language (Mobipocket) eBook</title>

<br>
<P>The story of the bar code hides a tale of human endeavour behind an invention that has been a part of our everyday lives for the past thirty years. First created in 1949, the code waited patiently in the wings until the advent of laser and microprocessor technology allowed it to take centre stage in the United States then in Europe in the early eighties, sparking a rise to worldwide acclaim. Driven by a single impetus - the belief of a few men that it could bring significant savings to distribution and every other aspect of business life - the bar code proved to be an outstanding spur for productivity and efficiency. What made it a truly popular invention, however, in the internet mould, was no doubt its ability to foster real everyday cooperation in the world of global business. It was the bar code that gave manufacturers and distributors a means to communicate, share and build through an innovative information network straddling borders. After all, isnt that what language is for ?</P> <P>&amp;nbsp;</P>

Walking behind Dr. King meant walking down the unpopular road, not the popular one. In becoming an icon, King's legacy has been used by people all over the political spectrum. He's been part of the 2008 presidential race, in which Barack Obama could be the country's first black president. Obama has invoked the emblematic King's dream in many, and Sen.

Walking behind Dr. King meant walking down the unpopular road, not the popular one.

In becoming an icon, King's legacy has been used by people all over the political spectrum.

He's been part of the 2008 presidential race, in which Barrack Obama could be the country's first black president. Obama has invoked the emblematic Kings dream in many, and Sen. John Kerry endorsed Obama by saying "Martin Luther King said that the time is always right to do what is right."

So the logic behind the candidacy of Barack Obama is not, in finality, about Barack Obama. In fact, it has little to do with his policy proposals, which are very close to his Democratic rivals and which, with a few exceptions, exist firmly within the conventions of our politics. The act of picking the next president will be in some ways a statement of Americas view of Iraq, not Americas view of African-Americans. The man who opposed the war for the right reasons is for that reason the potential president with the most flexibility in dealing with it. 

This book is a must-read to learn why Africa-Americans have really hitched their wagons behind Barrack Obama.

<title>Alcaire, Fred THROWBACK! (Mobipocket) eBook</title>

<br>
<P>The pen-name Fred Alcaire is an anagram of free radical and this work, Throwback!, is described by the author as an historical docu-drama. He says it compares the conflicts of the 5<SUP>th</SUP> century AD between Attila the Hun and the Roman Empire with the current conflict between Shaykh Usamah Bin Muhammad ibn Ladin and the USA.</P> <P>&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The book argues the inevitability of such clashes, which it claims are invited by empires because of the very fact and nature of their existence, and postulates that it is the notion of empire which we, as a species, must abandon in order to achieve true progress.</P> <P>&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Alcaire writes : But we would be making a grave mistake if we thought that scientific knowledge and understanding, allied to technical innovation combined with industrial and commercial development, can be used to measure human progress in terms of our being more or less civilised.</P> <P>&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The only true measure of our civilisation is that indicated by our behaviour, by the way we use our knowledge and our technology in our relations with one another as individuals and as national, religious, or cultural groups.</P> <P>&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; If we behave like little children, in a self-centred, selfish way, throwing tantrums, and hurling objects at each other as we did hundreds and thousands of years ago; bullets, bombs, rockets and other missiles instead of rocks, spears and arrows, then we are not civilised; we are still savages.</P> <P>&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; In alternating chapters the thoroughly researched Throwback! catalogues the events of both eras and with damning accuracy is especially scathing of the present administration of the USA under President George W Bush.</P> <P>&amp;nbsp;</P>

<br>
<P></P> <P>EYE ON THE TIMES a collection of published essays from 2006, 2007, and 2008</P> <P>These essays are arranged in mixed order, as things came to my attention in the world, I wrote about them. I tried to take the most important issue of the day and give it some life for the average person. I put a homespun slant on the worlds issues, so the general public could get the idea of what was going on. The American public likes to be spoon fed the news, so I tied a bib around their necks and sat them down with the problems of the world and made it digestible and tasty. I did not dumb it down; I just made it agreeable with the general way of seeing things. Believe me when I say, the American reader has grown more sophisticated over the years and now needs the stimulation, which brings the world to them in an interesting and palatable form. Read on America and discover that I tried to tell you the truth and I did not sugar coat the obvious dangers we face every day through out the world.</P> <P>Thank you, Thomas Emmon Pisano</P>

Imperial Grunts: The American Military on the Ground (Mobipocket)" border="0"/></a>
<br>
In this landmark book, Robert D. Kaplan, veteran correspondent for The Atlantic Monthly and author of Balkan Ghosts, shows how American imperialism and the Global War on Terrorism are implemented on the ground, mission by mission, in the most exotic landscapes around the world. <br><br>Given unprecedented access, Kaplan takes us from the jungles of the southern Philippines to the glacial dust bowls of Mongolia, from the forts of Afghanistan to the forests of South America&amp;#8211;not to mention Iraq&amp;#8211;to show us Army Special Forces, Marines, and other uniformed Americans carrying out the many facets of U.S. foreign policy: negotiating with tribal factions, storming terrorist redoubts, performing humanitarian missions and training foreign soldiers. <br><br>In <b>Imperial Grunts</b>, Kaplan provides an unforgettable insider&amp;#8217;s account not only of our current involvement in world affairs, but also of where America, including the culture of its officers and enlisted men, is headed. This is the rare book that has the potential to change the way readers view the men and women of the military, war, and the global reach of American imperialism today.<br><br>As Kaplan writes, the only way to understand America&amp;#8217;s military is &amp;#8220;on foot, or in a Humvee, with the troops themselves, for even as elites in New York and Washington debated imperialism in grand, historical terms, individual marines, soldiers, airmen, and sailors&amp;#8211;all the cultural repositories of America&amp;#8217;s unique experience with freedom&amp;#8211;were interpreting policy on their own, on the ground, in dozens upon dozens of countries every week, oblivious to such faraway discussions. . . . It was their stories I wanted to tell: from the ground up, at the point of contact.&amp;#8221;<br><br>Never before has America&amp;#8217;s overarching military strategy been parsed so incisively and evocatively. Kaplan introduces us to lone American servicemen whose presence in obscure countries is largely unknown, a
