Sinopsis

Hidden Wars explores the complex world of U.S. covert operations and their impact on global politics. It examines how these secret interventions, often justified by national security, have influenced foreign policy and ignited conflicts around the world. The book sheds light on the ethical considerations and long-term geopolitical consequences of covert warfare. Understanding these hidden wars is crucial, as they can destabilize regions and undermine democratic processes, sometimes with lasting repercussions.

Beginning with a conceptual framework, the book defines covert operations and traces their historical roots. It then delves into case studies from Latin America, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East, dissecting the planning, execution, and outcomes of specific covert actions. For example, the book touches on how military interventions during the Cold War, while aiming to contain communism, often had unintended consequences.

These case studies are then synthesized to derive broader conclusions regarding the effectiveness, ethical implications, and strategic value of covert warfare. Ultimately, Hidden Wars challenges the notion of covert action as a precise tool, arguing that it frequently produces counterproductive outcomes. It calls for greater transparency and accountability in U.S. foreign policy.

This analysis, drawing from declassified documents and academic research, aims to provide a balanced perspective and stimulate critical thinking about the role of hidden wars in shaping the global stage.

The Shortest History of the...

Don Watson

The United States was founded based on the monumental idea that everyone deserves the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Yet throughout our two hundred and fifty years as an independent country, we have faced many obstacles to these self-evident truths: slavery, wars, economic depressions. Still, the United States is one of the most powerful nations in the world and is a hub for global economics, innovation, and culture. How did a nation, which throughout its history has hardly been united, become one of the biggest global superpowers of the twenty-first century? 
 
Don Watson dissects both the flaws and triumphs of our nation's history in The Shortest History of the United States. He traces moments of liberty and justice, inequity and oppression, to show how a country at war with itself in the 1860s, and the leader of the free world less than a hundred years later, became a nation beset by wild division and turmoil in the twenty-first century. Along the way he highlights the key figures who have fought for our inalienable truths—in politics and at home, on the frontiers and in our cities, in our books and music and on our screens. A sweeping history of a profoundly multicultural country, The Shortest History of the United States shows how our country continues to stand while fighting for unity and justice for all.

Measuring the Mountain

Adrian Stadtmiller

Two brothers in conflict sire half-twin sons, as they battle to determine the fate of a property dynasty.  Intertwined conflict and humour are the lifestyle hallmarks of the relationship between 18 year old twins Aaron and Josh. Aaron, as the too-young manager of the family's large rural property, sees himself as in his rightful position. Josh (as a worker on the property) sees his own rightful position as not having to take orders from Aaron. One instance of their difficult relationship results in Josh having to take the blame for Aaron's irresponsible driving, when Aaron nearly causes a head-on collision with a Highway Patrol car. Tash (Aaron's girlfriend) becomes pregnant to both Josh and Aaron, that is with half-twin sons due to heteropaternal superfecundation and they all have to live with the consequences. Due to the untimely death of their Grandfather, Charlie, Aaron and Josh find themselves bidding against each other at a public auction for their shares of the family property. Elizabeth, Mother of Aaron and Josh, has their secret past outed to her sons. A financially over-committed Aaron is forced to sell his part of the property to Chinese investors. As the supreme irony, Josh becomes a resentful Aaron's boss. The 5 year old sons of Josh and Aaron act beyond their years to protect Tash from Aaron's excesses towards her. Aaron accepts that he has been the cause of much family conflict.
