Various Authors

Sinopse

KUBARK Counterintelligence Interrogation is a pivotal dossier dissecting the art and science of interrogation as employed in counterintelligence operations during the Cold War. This book is a complex amalgamation of practical methodologies and psychological insights, presented with a stark clarity that epitomizes the regulatory framework utilized by U.S. intelligence agencies. The content is marked by a clinical, almost detached narrative style that invites readers to critically engage with moral and ethical considerations surrounding the practice, alluding to its controversial implications during a period rife with geopolitical tensions. Crafted by multiple authors, many of whom were experienced operatives and analysts in the CIA, the text reflects a deep understanding of human behavior coupled with the exigencies of national security. The book stems from a zeitgeist where the quest for effective intelligence-gathering techniques necessitated a comprehensive approach to psychological manipulation and interrogation tactics, influenced by both historical precedents and contemporary psychological theories. KUBARK Counterintelligence Interrogation is essential for scholars, practitioners, and anyone interested in the intricate web of ethics, politics, and psychology inherent in interrogation practices. It not only serves as a manual for professionals in intelligence but also provokes critical discussions on human rights and the moral limitations of state power. A meticulous examination of this text will enrich readers' understanding of the complexities involved in the intelligence community.

Our universities are the recruitment centres for the personnel of the consumer society, certifying citizens for service, while at the same time disposing of those judged unfit for the competitive rat race.

Voices of Dissent - An Essay...

Romila Thapar

Written by one of India's best-known public intellectuals, this book is essential reading for anyone interested in India's fascinating history as well as the direction in which the nation is headed.

People have argued since time immemorial. Disagreement is a part of life, of human experience. But we now live in times when any form of protest in India is marked as anti-Indian and met with arguments that the very concept of dissent was imported into India from the West. As Romila Thapar explores in her timely historical essay, however, dissent has a long history in the subcontinent, even if its forms have evolved through the centuries.
 
In Voices of Dissent: An Essay, Thapar looks at the articulation of nonviolent dissent and relates it to various pivotal moments throughout India's history. Beginning with Vedic times, she takes us from the second to the first millennium BCE, to the emergence of groups that were jointly called the Shramanas-the Jainas, Buddhists, and Ajivikas. Going forward in time, she also explores the views of the Bhakti sants and others of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries and brings us to a major moment of dissent that helped to establish a free and democratic India: Mahatma Gandhi's satyagraha. Then Thapar places in context the recent peaceful protests against India's new, controversial citizenship law, maintaining that dissent in our time must be opposed to injustice and supportive of democratic rights so that society may change for the better.
