  Blind Man's Bluff - The Untold...

  No espionage missions have been kept more secret than those involving American submarines. Now, Blind Man's Bluff shows for the first time how the Navy sent submarines wired with self-destruct charges into the heart of Soviet seas to tap crucial underwater telephone cables. It unveils how the Navy's own negligence might have been responsible for the loss of the USS Scorpion, a submarine that disappeared, all hands lost, thirty years ago. It tells the complete story of the audacious attempt to steal a Soviet submarine with the help of eccentric billionaire Howard Hughes, and how it was doomed from the start. And it reveals how the Navy used the comforting notion of deep sea rescue vehicles to hide operations that were more James Bond than Jacques Cousteau. 
  Blind Man's Bluff contains an unforgettable array of characters, including the cowboy sub commander who brazenly outraced torpedoes and couldn't resist sneaking up to within feet of unaware enemy subs. It takes us inside clandestine Washington meetings where top submarine captains briefed presidents and where the espionage war was planned one sub and one dangerous encounter at a time. Stretching from the years immediately after World War II to the present-day operations of the Clinton Administration, it is an epic story of daring and deception. A magnificent achievement in investigative reporting, it feels like a spy thriller, but with one important difference'everything in it is true.

  The Absent Father Effect on Daughters investigates the impact of absent—physically or emotionally—and inadequate fathers on the lives and psyches of their daughters through the perspective of Jungian analytical psychology. This book tells the stories of daughters who describe the insecurity of self, the splintering and disintegration of the personality, and the silencing of voice. 
   
   
   
  Issues of fathers and daughters reach to the intra-psychic depths and archetypal roots, to issues of self and culture, both personal and collective. Susan E. Schwartz illustrates the maladies and disappointments of daughters who lack a father figure and incorporates clinical examples describing how daughters can break out of idealizations, betrayals, abandonments, and losses to move towards repair and renewal. The book takes an interdisciplinary approach, expanding and elucidating Jungian concepts through dreams, personal stories, fairy tales, and the poetry of Sylvia Plath, along with psychoanalytic theory, including Andre Green's 'dead father effect' and Julia Kristeva's theories on women and the body as abject. 
   
   
   
  Examining daughters both personally and collectively affected by the lack of a father, this book is highly relevant for those wanting to understand the complex dynamics of daughters and fathers to become their authentic selves.

  New York, Summer of 1965. 
   
   
   
  One hot summer, two young children disappeared from their first-floor apartment in the Kew Gardens neighborhood of Queens, New York. Their mother, Alice Crimmins, reported them missing to the police. Later that day, the body of four-year-old Missy was found in a vacant lot, showing signs of having been strangled. The body of five-year-old Eddie, Jr., was found several days later. 
   
   
   
  Police were immediately suspicious of the mother. Recently divorced, with teased red hair and heavy makeup, Alice Crimmins did not fit the maternal ideal held by the predominantly Catholic police detectives on the case. Her every action was scrutinized: Was she behaving like a grief-stricken mother or like a coldhearted killer? After three years of police surveillance, Alice was charged with the murder of her children in 1968 in a highly publicized trial. Ultimately found guilty of manslaughter, Alice spent a decade in prison before being released on parole in 1977. 
   
   
   
  But was she truly guilty, or just the victim of police bias and misogynistic judgment? Journalist Anaïs Renevier revisits the case, exploring one of the most famous and divisive trials in recent American history.

  Narcissism - Excessive Self-Love...

  Narcissism is a psychological concept that has long fascinated scholars, psychologists, and the general public alike. It is often associated with excessive self-love, a heightened sense of self-importance, and a lack of empathy for others. While narcissistic traits can manifest in different ways, they generally revolve around an inflated self-image, a deep need for admiration, and difficulties in forming genuine emotional connections. The term originates from the Greek myth of Narcissus, a young man who fell in love with his own reflection, ultimately leading to his demise. This myth serves as a metaphor for the dangers of extreme self-obsession and the inability to recognize the needs of others. 
  At its core, narcissism exists on a spectrum. A healthy level of self-esteem and confidence is essential for personal development and success. However, when self-love becomes excessive and is coupled with an absence of empathy, it can lead to behaviors that harm relationships, work environments, and even societal structures. Narcissism can manifest in subtle ways, such as a tendency to dominate conversations or dismiss opposing viewpoints, or in more extreme forms, such as manipulative behavior and an inability to accept criticism. 
  The role of self-love and empathy in human behavior is a delicate balance. While a certain degree of self-appreciation is necessary for mental well-being, an overemphasis on oneself at the expense of others creates social and psychological challenges. Empathy, the ability to understand and share the feelings of others, is often lacking in those with high narcissistic tendencies. This deficiency can lead to exploitative relationships, a disregard for others' emotions, and difficulty in maintaining meaningful connections.
