Summary

Cold War Tactics explores the multifaceted strategies employed by the United States and the Soviet Union during their decades-long standoff. It examines how both superpowers navigated a world on the brink of nuclear annihilation, focusing on covert operations, propaganda, and the ever-present threat of nuclear conflict.

 
The book argues that the Cold War was not just a bipolar standoff, but rather a complex conflict fought on ideological, economic, and technological fronts. It reveals how the constant tension between ideologies shaped global events and continues to influence international relations today.

 
The book traces the Cold War’s origins from the ashes of World War II, detailing the ideological differences and geopolitical ambitions that fueled the rivalry. It then examines covert operations carried out by the CIA and KGB, analyzing their successes and ethical implications. The book also explores propaganda campaigns used to sway public opinion and undermine opponents.

 
Finally, it addresses the nuclear arms race and the doctrine of mutually assured destruction. By drawing upon declassified documents and primary sources, Cold War Tactics offers a comprehensive understanding of this pivotal period in world history.

    Ohio. A suicide, no fingerprints, no identity. 
 
 
 
In July 2002, the Eastlake police discovered a decomposed body in a modest studio apartment in Cleveland, Ohio. It appeared to be a suicide by firearm. The man was Joseph Newton Chandler III, a retiree whom neighbors and former colleagues described as quiet, secretive, and strange. But as the investigation progressed, less and less about Joseph's life and identity made sense. 
 
 
 
In 2018, thanks to scientific advances in DNA, the man's true identity was finally discovered: Robert Ivan Nichols. A veteran with a wife and three sons, Nichols eventually left his family, telling his wife "One day you will know why." A few years later, in 1965, his family reported him missing. By 1978, he had stolen the identity of Joseph Newton Chandler III, who had been killed in a car accident at eight years old. But who was this man and why did he change his name? What secret was he trying to hide? 
 
 
 
Thibault Raisse examines the case, exploring the many theories that have emerged, from the craziest to the most credible. Among these theories is a possible connection to the Zodiac Killer, whose murders date back to 1968 and 1969 in California.

    Most Americans are likely to encounter the effects of government malfeasance or neglect close to home—from their governors, mayors, town councils, school boards, police, and prosecutors. In fact, deals shrouded in darkness are regularly made at the state and local levels, often the result of closed-door discussions between governments and industry without any scrutiny whatsoever from the public. Too often, residents are intentionally kept on the outside, struggling to get information about significant issues affecting their communities—from car crashes and dirty drinking water, to failing safety gear—until the backroom deals are done and it's too late to challenge them. 
 
 
 
Backroom Deals in Our Backyards tells the story of five "accidental activists"—people from across the United States who started questioning why their local and state governments didn't protect them from issues facing their communities and why there was a frightening lack of transparency surrounding the way these issues were resolved. The secret deals, lies, and corruption they uncover shake their faith in government but move them to action. 
 
 
 
For readers of Chain of Title and Superman's Not Coming, Spivack's revealing take on a hidden dimension of American politics will outrage and educate anyone who cares about the forces shaping their own communities.

    We want to move beyond politics in which each party seeks to outmanoeuvre others and score a decisive victory. This leads to political stalemate. We want to reflect on the successes and failures of devolution and offer a series of proposals for reform that could be embraced by a broad swathe of opinion.
What were the hopes and aspirations of devolution?
To what extent has devolution been successful?
What are the challenges and opportunities ahead?
How can we meet the challenges and best take advantage of opportunities?
Where is Scotland heading on its unfinished journey?
How will changes in the rest of the UK impact on this journey?
In  1999, legislation was passed to create the Scottish Parliament and the Consultative Steering Group (CSG) issued its report on the Scottish Parliament's guiding principles. Four key principles were set out in the CSG report reflecting the hopes and aspirations of campaigners for a Scottish Parliament: sharing power between the people, legislators and government; greater accountability from government to Parliament to the people; facilitating accessibility, openness and responsiveness; and promoting equality. These principles remain as relevant today as they were at the Parliament's establishment though much has changed in the intervening quarter century.
In this book, former First Minister Henry McLeish, Minister responsible for devolution and chair of the CSG, and Professor James Mitchell of Edinburgh University consider the journey Scotland has been on – the challenges, obstacles and opportunities in seeking to achieve these hopes and expectations.
