Hardback. Condizione: Good. Refuting the myth that America's socially conservative thinkers, journalists, and commentators tend to support the war in Iraq, this text incorporates the opinions of some of the leading figures in America's conservative movement on why the decision to go to war and the continuing occupation of Iraq was and is the wrong course of action. Twenty-five articles by influential thinkers such as former presidential candidate Pat Buchanan, syndicated columnists Sam Francis, Joseph Sobran, Eric Margolis, and Charley Reese, leading economist Jude Wanniski, social critics Tom Fleming and Paul Gottfried, and religious figures Bishop John Michael Botean and the late Alfredo Cardinal Ottaviani make the case against the Iraqi conflict using conservative arguments on geopolitics, Christian morality, and common sense. Four detailed appendices on the war teachings of the Roman Catholic Church are also provided.…

Trade Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Spine creased, light edge wear. 1987 Trade Paperback. x, 273 pp. This pioneering work, the first serious analysis of the royal household between the middle ages and the eighteenth century, examines the internal workings of the court which was key to politics, and the personnel and organisation of the private royal apartments. It presents radical reinterpretation of the period as a whole, seeing the years from 1460 to 1640 as an essential unity - the age of personal court monarchy undivided by an imaginary 'revolution in government'. …

Agent Sarah Black is back, and she's done asking permission.Scarred by the events of her first official assignment, new recruit Sarah has cut all ties with the special liaison unit known as The Pelicans. Abandoning enigmatic leader Michael on the banks of the Thames and defying all orders, she vows to finish the mission he set her . . . alone.Her dogged pursuit of the mastermind who eluded her in Georgia takes her to searing heat and civil unrest in west Africa, to a lawless land rife with war profiteering.

"MORE THAN two years after the Iraqi people were "liberated' from their internationally recognized government by an unprovoked military invasion, Iraq remains embroiled in a deadly guerrilla war, its economy and infrastructure demolished, its political life a caldron of hatred. Most tragic ~barring the human cost (both American and Iraqi) of the invasion and occupation ~ is the fact that the nations responsible for this devastation claim to be leaders of the 'free world' and defenders of Western 'civilization.' Pulling no punches, Neo~CONNED! Again examines how the Anglo~American war against Iraq results from evil intent, and is a crime of the first order. It also looks at the inadequacy of the reasons adduced for war by its promoters, and examines the hypocrisy and lawlessness of AngloAmerican conduct in terms of both the war itself and the larger, ever~expanding military response to September 11 known as the 'war on terror.' At war with the world? Much of the world sympathized with America on the morrow of the 9/11 attacks. Its aggression in the Middle East and its declaration of war on those who, if not 'for' it are 'against' it, has turned that sympathy into disgust and hostility. With contributors among the very best in their respective fields ~ journalism, political philosophy, military strategy and intelligence, international law and more ~ NeoCONNED! Again tackles the 'war on terror' and its relation to the conflict in Iraq with a candor and precision not found anywhere else. With its companion volume, Neo~CONNED!, Neo~CONNED Again is the definitive resource on the Anglo~American war in Iraq, based on a tremendous range of authors and unparalleled depth of coverage. The facts, arguments, and details in this collection ~ essential to a complete understanding of where the American government went wrong, and how ~ will benefit even readers who already see the war as a tragedy, while those who don't are certain to be persuaded. contributors = ALEXANDER COCKBURN & JEFFREY ST.
