Indonesia’s Maritime Interest Cooperation and Capacity Building

Arsyad Rear Admiral TNI (Ret) Rosihan

Editorial: LPMI

Sinopsis

This book is a compilation of various writings from seminars conducted by Admiral TNI (ret.) Rosihan Arsyad, which discussed various maritime problems in Indonesia, especially the South China Sea issue.

Historically, Indonesia wielded significant influence in Southeast Asia. This was made possible by the formidable maritime forces of the Sriwijaya Kingdom in the 7th century and the Majapahit Kingdom in the 12th century. During their peak, these two kingdoms were able to assert their sovereignty, power, and influence over a vast region that encompassed an area even larger than present-day Indonesia.

Several issues are simmering in the South China Sea, potentially making it another hotspot in Asia, alongside North Korea's nuclear program and the contentious relations between the People's Republic of China (PRC) and Taiwan. The South China Sea, a highly strategic maritime area, frequently attracts the attention of major powers vying for control. Lingering overlapping territorial claims further compound the situation, often posing threats to the peace and stability of the region.

The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) established in 1982 provides clear guidelines for determining a nation's maritime boundaries. However, the introduction of the new concepts of the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and the Continental Shelf has made it increasingly challenging and complex to accurately define these boundaries, leading to potential ambiguity. This complexity allows for the possibility of multiple interpretations of each country's EEZ and Continental Shelf boundaries.

Two primary issues dominate the South China Sea. Firstly, the issue of overlapping sovereignty claims arose following China's assertion of significant control over the region, claiming it as part of its sovereign territory. Secondly, concerns revolve around maritime security in the South China Sea. One potential scenario involves the disruption of marine traffic, which could escalate into armed conflict due to the overlapping claims. Additionally, there are latent threats to lower-level maritime security in the region.

No Place for Mercy

Davis Truman

Where empire rose, mercy fell. 
In No Place for Mercy, ancient Rome is unmasked—not as the marble-clad cradle of civilization, but as a brutal stage where sex, violence, and power played their most calculated roles. With a piercing lens, this provocative and deeply researched work reveals how sexual violence was not only a consequence of conquest but a deliberate tool of political manipulation and imperial propaganda. 
From the mythologized Rape of the Sabine Women to the whispered scandals of imperial courts, No Place for Mercy exposes how Rome’s leaders wielded control over bodies as a means to control the narrative, transforming victims into symbols and violence into spectacle. 
Drawing from primary sources, inscriptions, and visual art, this groundbreaking book explores how Roman elites exploited sexual violence to define citizenship, masculinity, and moral order. It challenges romanticized visions of antiquity and forces us to confront the uncomfortable truths beneath Rome’s glorious facade. 
Bold, unflinching, and urgently relevant, this is history that speaks to today’s conversations about power, gender, and the weaponization of sexuality. For scholars, students, and anyone who dares to ask what lies beneath the empire’s polished stone, No Place for Mercy is an essential and unforgettable read.

Little Vic and the Great Mafia War

Larry McShane

June 20, 1991. A five-man hit team waited in a car outside the Long Island home of Victor Orena, the acting crime boss of the Colombo crime family. Orena recognized the vehicle—and managed to escape with his life. Over the next year, more shots would be fired in what would become the last major mob war in New York's crime-soaked history—and one of the bloodiest. The war ended with Orena's 1992 arrest and conviction for racketeering. 
 
 
 
With shocking new revelations from Orena's son Andrew, this eye-opening account takes listeners inside the criminal underworld of New York's infamous "Five Families" from the point of view of one of its rising stars. The grandson of Sicilian immigrants, Victor Orena ingratiated himself with the local Mafiosi during his teens. Ascending the ranks, he eventually became acting boss of the family when its don Carmine "The Snake" Persico was sentenced to prison. But as Persico struggled to maintain control from behind bars, Orena decided to seize that power for himself—launching a ruthless mob war the city would never forget. 
 
 
 
Featuring a rogues gallery of legendary mobsters—from the Gallo brothers to the Gambinos and John Gotti—this riveting account sheds new light on one of the most fascinating chapters in American crime.

Grief's Second Mile - Beyond the...

Doug Manning

Most bereavement materials are focused on the first year of the grieving experience. We have often been asked, "What do you have for after the first anniversary?" In response to this need, Doug Manning has written this book, Grief's Second Mile: Life Beyond the First Year. 
Grief's Second Mile addresses some of the specific losses such as the death after extended illness, death of a child, suicide, violent or unresolved deaths, and why those may lengthen or stall the person's ability to approach the necessary transitions of grief in a healthy or complete manner. He provides insights and suggestions for developing ways to express feelings and cope with the loss and how to seek the help that is vital. Doug focuses on allowing the reader to feel "normal" in their search and to discover the answers that are right for them. 
A valuable resource for those families who are struggling or would appreciate something that speaks to their grieving beyond the first year.
