Sinopsis

“Covert Operations” explores the intricate world of clandestine military actions and their profound impact on global politics. It examines the evolution of covert warfare, highlighting historical precedents like espionage and sabotage, while also addressing the ethical dilemmas inherent in these high-stakes missions. The book reveals how covert interventions, designed for specific strategic advantages, often lead to unforeseen and destabilizing consequences, thereby reshaping international relations in unpredictable ways. A key insight is understanding how technological advancements have significantly transformed the landscape of covert warfare.

 
The book systematically progresses through crucial aspects of covert operations. Initially, it defines these operations, outlining their objectives, and scrutinizing the legal and moral ambiguities surrounding them. It then delves into specific case studies, analyzing diverse operations from sabotage to intelligence extractions, spanning various historical periods and geographical locations to give a comprehensive overview. Finally, it assesses the long-term repercussions of these actions on international relations, domestic politics, and the laws of war.

 
What distinguishes this book is its emphasis on the lasting ramifications of covert actions, moving beyond immediate tactical gains to evaluate broader strategic and political effects. This approach offers a nuanced understanding, acknowledging both the potential benefits and inherent risks. The evidence is drawn from declassified documents, military archives, and memoirs, offering a multifaceted perspective suitable for those interested in military history, political science, and the strategies of intelligence agencies.

  • Mamerto Gueritz - A Country Catholic 1823–1912 - cover

    Mamerto Gueritz - A Country...

    This is the story of Mamerto Gueritz, a country priest in the second half of the nineteenth century. His is a fascinating tale, with the adventures of his father and grandfather in Spain and the subsequent deeds of his children, framing the story of the man himself.
    
     
    However, Mamerto Gueritz also offers an illustration of the ways in which the Catholic Revival in the Church of England, the Oxford Movement, spread and took root in the remotest corners of the kingdom. His story tells a much wider tale of the renewal of the Church, the revival of a glorious liturgical heritage and the search for holiness which, for Gueritz and many of his peers, was the driving force behind it all.
    
     
    Mamerto’s father had been an officer in the Royal Guard of Spain but his opposition to the absolutism of Ferdinand VII meant that he and his family had to flee. The period between the time of Gueritz’ arrival as an infant refugee from Spain in 1823 and his death in 1912 may indeed be seen as the time of the emergence and flowering of what became known as the Oxford Movement. However, it was also a time of great conflict and change both in the Church and in society. Such change was not without cost and Mamerto Gueritz shared in it all, both in the battles in London and in his country parish, which proved anything but a safe haven.
    
     
    The reader with a straightforward love of history will find Mamerto’s story a significant addition to their store of knowledge. Those who read widely in Church history, particularly that of the nineteenth century, may find that what seems like familiar ground can be anything but!  The student of the Oxford Movement and the catholic heritage of the Church of England may yet find some further insight from hitherto unreported events and in Mamerto Gueritz find also an encouragement for the work of today.

  • Unmasking Fear - How Fears Are Our Gateways to Freedom - cover

    Unmasking Fear - How Fears Are...

    Imagine the possibilities if instead of avoiding the things you feared, you approached them with courage and curiosity. 
      
    When we are in the grip of fear, our world can get very small and for many of us, the number of choices shrink to just four basic reactions: fight, flight, freeze, or fawn. That’s not a lot of options. On a collective level, elements of our society like governments, religions, and businesses sometimes instill fear to divide and control—to keep us feeling dependent on them instead of ourselves. On an individual level, fear can be the reason we’re living a life that’s not reflective of our truth or potential. It’s what keeps us feeling stuck and holds us back. What most of us don’t realize is that fear has much to teach us. 
      
    “Fear Technician” Guryan Tighe reframes the way we approach fear from the goal of conquering it to a goal of learning from it by providing readers three gateways to look at fear in a way that frees us: curiosity, gratitude, and purpose. She shows us how to interrupt our initial reaction, pause, check in with ourselves, and rewrite the patterns we use to respond to that which we fear. With this shift in thinking and how to engage it, readers will find new pathways forward as they shift from unintentional reactions to intentional responses. 
      
    When we change our relationship to fear, we gain valuable insights that inform our growth and development, connecting us more deeply to our truth. This different approach to fear doesn’t just transform our relationship with ourselves but can also unite us with others through empathy and shared purpose. What has the power to separate us from ourselves and each other—fear—also has the power to unite us. Unmasking Fear shows us that fear is courage unrealized and understanding our fears frees us to pursue the life we want. 
      
    “For anyone in the grip of fear, or longing for deeper connection to themselves and others, this book will propel you towards greater clarity, confidence and peace.”—Randy Taran, author of Emotional Advantage and founder/CEO of Project Happiness.org

    Democratic politics is expensive. In US presidential elections, for instance, total spending now exceeds $6.5 billion. In the US, election campaigns are largely funded by private donations from individuals and corporate entities, whereas in Germany, the state is the main funder of electoral politics through subventions to parties. In some other countries, parties have been able to raise most of what they need internally by charging membership dues or, more exceptionally, by relying on a wealthy patron. However, there have been numerous scandals and controversies involving political finance, which pose a serious challenge to fundamental democratic principles.Matteo Bonotti and Zim Nwokora analyze the nature of these democratic risks and how they differ across various models of political finance. They argue that political finance rules ought to counterbalance the weaknesses of the party system they are being used alongside. To do so, political finance rules and party systems should be assessed together, in terms of three distinctive normative dimensions—collegiality, systemic voice, and systemic accountability—which capture what parties, at their best, can contribute to democratic politics. Money, Parties, and Democracy sets out a framework for evaluating political finance systems so that they can be designed or reformed to better support good governance.
