Summary

Spy Networks explores the hidden world of American intelligence, revealing how covert operations have shaped U.S. history and national security. From the American Revolution to the War on Terror, the book dissects the evolution of agencies like the CIA and NSA, examining their structures and adaptation to changing global landscapes. It highlights key case studies illustrating espionage and counterintelligence, while also addressing the ethical debates surrounding intelligence gathering, such as balancing national security with civil liberties. 

 
The book argues that American national security policies are significantly influenced by intelligence networks. For example, the Cold War saw intense intelligence battles that shaped political alliances and proxy conflicts, impacting global power dynamics. Using declassified documents and scholarly analysis, Spy Networks offers a chronological account of American intelligence, examining specific operations and policy shifts in each era. 

 
This comprehensive study connects intelligence to political science, military studies, and international relations, providing a unique perspective for students, researchers, and anyone interested in understanding the hidden dimensions of American power. By focusing on publicly available information, the book provides a reliable and accessible account of American intelligence history.

    What does it truly mean to be "immoral"? Is it a flaw to be conquered, or an intrinsic part of our humanity? In this bold and expansive work, A.A. Castor embarks on a sweeping investigation into the roots of our so-called forbidden impulses. Drawing on vivid historical accounts, cutting-edge psychology, and illuminating insights from the animal kingdom, Castor unravels the stories behind behaviors that societies have labeled as taboo or deviant. From ancient rituals to modern counterculture movements, from primal instincts honed by evolution to the ever-shifting moral boundaries shaped by media and technology, this book offers a comprehensive portrait of how "immorality" has both challenged and enriched our collective journey. 
Through thoughtful analysis and engaging narrative, readers are invited to confront their own assumptions about right and wrong. Rather than condemning our darkest desires, Castor demonstrates how risk-taking, rebellion, and raw self-expression can foster innovation and self-discovery. By weaving together perspectives from philosophy, social science, and personal reflection, We Desire to Be Immoral ultimately urges a more nuanced understanding of human nature—one that embraces our imperfections, values empathy and connection, and dares us to celebrate the liberating power of authenticity. Whether you're intrigued by the hidden forces behind social norms or seeking a deeper appreciation for the complexities of the human spirit, this book is an invitation to step beyond the ordinary and revel in the full spectrum of who we are.

    « Today, in the United States, a new well is drilled every twelve minutes, and that model is what some wish to import to Europe ». 
Job creation, lower gas bills, renewed competitiveness, geopolitical upheaval, energy independence… such are the arguments used by oil and gas lobby groups to influence public opinion and impose shale gas exploitation throughout Europe. Focused on the American example and oblivious of European economic and legal specificities, lobbies fling counter-truths regarding the economic benefits that their production would generate. However, what they call an energy revolution actually is a dangerous « gold rush » with a single mission, intensive drilling, to satisfy the hunger for profit of a few at the expense of the general interest. 
Argument after argument, Thomas Porcher challenges information largely controlled by lobby groups and proposes crucial answers in the context of the current debate on shale gas in Europe.

    Who Will Defend Europe? - An...

    Who will defend Europe? The answer should be obvious: Europe should be able to defend itself. Yet, for decades, most of the continent enjoyed a defense holiday, outsourcing protection to the United States while banking an increasingly illusory 'peace dividend'. Now, after three decades of reducing armed forces and drawing down defense industries, Europe finds itself close to unprotected—while Russia is intent on continuing its war of expansion, and the United States is distracted and divided. 
 
 
 
In this urgent, vital book, Keir Giles lays out the stark choices facing leaders and societies as they confront the return of war in Europe. He explains how the West's unwillingness to confront Russia has nurtured the threat, and that Putin's ambition puts the whole continent at risk. He assesses the role and deficiencies of NATO as a guarantor of hard security, and whether the European Union or coalitions of the willing can fill the gap. Above all, Giles emphasizes the need for new leadership in defense of the free world after the United States has stepped aside—and warns that the United Kingdom's brief moment of setting the pace for Europe has already been squandered.
