Sinossi

Compact Decisions explores how seemingly minor, rapidly-made political decisions can have profound and lasting impacts on history and politics. It challenges the notion that grand strategies alone shape historical outcomes, arguing instead that the accumulation of short-sighted choices often plays a more crucial role. For example, expedited legislative processes can unintentionally erode citizen rights, while quick-response foreign policy decisions can destabilize international relations. The book uniquely focuses on the often-overlooked area of immediate responses and their long-term consequences, rather than long-term strategic planning. It uses political science, historical analysis, and economic principles to analyze domestic policy and international relations case studies. 

 
Examining the impact of reactive governance, the book progresses from introducing the concept of compact decisions to analyzing specific historical instances. Through case studies and analysis of government documents, policy reports, and historical accounts, the author demonstrates how these decisions affect societies, economies, and international relations. 

 
The book concludes by offering a model for understanding and mitigating the risks associated with reactive decision-making, providing insights for policymakers and anyone interested in the complexities of governance.

War Victims - The Silent...

Marcus Klein

This book consists of the following two titles: 
War Crimes - The need for accountability in the face of war crimes is critical. It is not only about bringing perpetrators to justice but also about establishing a global standard that deters such crimes in the future. The introduction of international laws and institutions aimed at prosecuting war crimes marks a pivotal shift in the international community's approach to warfare. The atrocities committed during World War II, particularly the Holocaust and other acts of genocide, were a wake-up call for the global community. This led to the creation of the Nuremberg Trials, the first real attempt to hold individuals accountable for war crimes, and set the foundation for modern international law. 
Child Soldiers - The use of child soldiers in armed conflicts represents one of the most tragic and pervasive human rights violations of our time. Children, often as young as eight or nine, are forcibly recruited or manipulated into participating in violent wars, often by rebel groups or government forces. These young individuals, deprived of their innocence and forced to endure unimaginable hardships, are exploited in ways that not only strip them of their childhoods but also leave lasting scars on their bodies, minds, and spirits.

St Paul Murder & Mayhem

Ron de Beaulieu

A fledgling community in the midst of stunning natural scenes, the St. Paul of yesteryear had a well-earned reputation for beauty and danger. Whiskey made the river city a byword for peril. Men brawled over small offenses and killed one another with near impunity. As crime flourished beyond the power of police control, vigilantes patrolled the streets. Irresponsible speculation and white-collar crime wrecked the local economy, devastating families and driving thousands out of town. The remaining St. Paulites rebuilt their community and economy, stimulating immigration, but more people meant more crime. In the 1870s, vice and violence spiraled into the Bloody Fall of '74, and St. Paul regained its reputation as a "dead tough" town. Historian Ron de Beaulieu reveals the past travails of life in this turbulent city.
