Paperback. 2018. 272 pages. <br>Containing a new introduction from the author and updates to the text, this is a book of uncomon power. Here, an ex traordinary humanitarian gives us a bracing and uncompromising ac count of her work in some of the most devastated corners of the w orld--and a provocative vision for changing course on our growing militarization. Samantha Nutt is one of the most intrepid voice s in the humanitarian arena. Weaving gripping personal experience s with uncompromising and impassioned argument, Damned Nations di ssects war and aid, where humanitarian efforts go wrong, and what can and should be done to bring about a more just world. Drawing from nearly two decades of experiences at the frontline of confl ict, Nutt challenges many of the assumptions and orthodoxies surr ounding the aid industry. A book that is at once moving, engaging , and insightful, Damned Nations has been acclaimed by readers an d critics across North America. Editorial Reviews Review Samant ha Nutt is scrupulously consistent with her hard-nosed, direct, i n-your-face style and defiant resolve in her approach to war and the massive abuses to humanity, especially women and children. Sa mantha is telling us in no uncertain terms that humanitarianism s tarts by a 'critical reflection concerning our own actions and de eds.' And then she offers some solid proposals to consider. Well done, in a most compelling of ways. --LGen the Hon. Roméo A. Dal laire, (Ret'd), Senator This is an extraordinarily riveting book . The anecdotes are heart-wrenching; the analysis is trenchant, p rincipled, uncompromising. I never read a book in one sitting: I read Damned Nations in one sitting, and I regretted that it came to an end. It's not an easy read, but it's filled with emotional and intellectual power. --Stephen Lewis, former Canadian Ambassa dor to the United Nations, and Chair of the Board of the Stephen Lewis Foundation This book is a passionate reaction to so much o f the stupidity and calumny that leads to death and destruction, and yet, it incorporates insightful and cool headed reasons as to why. An important book for our times. --Lloyd Axworthy, Preside nt, University of Winnipeg and former Minister of Foreign Affairs A brave, eloquent, and necessary book. -Lewis Lapham, editor o f Lapham's Quarterly When I first met Sam, I was moved by her to tal and single minded dedication to justice. She thought of peopl e in far away places the way we think of relatives in disadvantag e, and she behaved like we do at our best when we care enough to do something. I have no doubt you will be moved by her stories an d her work, but I hope most of all, by her example. --K'Naan Thi s is an extraordinary book. From its opening scenes, my heart was in my throat. Samantha Nutt is a genuine hero for all of us who want to make a difference in the world. She has helped those who, through no fault of their own, find themselves trapped in terrif ying conditions of terror, injustice, oppression and extreme pove rty. All of us living in the comfort and affluence of industriali zed countries owe it to the rest of humanity to read this powerfu l book. --David Suzuki, co-founder, The David Suzuki Foundation, and Professor Emeritus, University of British Columbia Samantha Nutt drives us to the front lines of an ongoing conflict between empathy and barbarism. Her words, and the lessons she asks us to heed, come from what she herself has witnessed. The passion that Dr. Nutt has for the important work she does is reflected in the pages of this remarkable book. --Seamus O'Regan, co-host, Canada AM Dr. Nutt movingly outlines the chilling truth about war and offers us a rare, poignant glimpse into each individual's part in the process to attainable peace. An absolute must-read for every person in the developed world, and a manual for every leader. - -Chantal Kreviazuk, Juno Award-winning performer and songwriter, and Honorary Founder, War Child Dr. Samantha Nutt is a force of nature. A courageous and tireless advocate for human rights. Dam ned Nations exposes the 'underbelly' of the humanitarian movement . Her colorful, revealing and heart-wrenching first-hand accounts are a must read for anyone who's given so much as a penny to an NGO. --Raine Maida, lead singer, Our Lady Peace, songwriter, and activist About the Author SAMANTHA NUTT, M.D. is an award winni ng humanitarian, acclaimed public speaker, and an expert on the i mpact of war, international aid and foreign policy.

When war retu rned to Bukavu, in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo along the Rwandan border, I dismissed the gunfire as nothing more than a minor skirmish. A peace accord had been signed eighteen months earlier by most of the fractured parties to this hellish conflic t. Had no one read it? Maybe, I reasoned, it was just a group of boys not quite satisfied with the terms of their severance from o ne of the ever-shifting rebel groups. This isn't serious. It will pass. During my previous mission to the region a few months earl ier, there had been hushed chatter among aid workers of a third r evolution, but war zones are full of such stories - of final chap ters in battle not yet written. And, by all accounts, the rumours predated the peace process, so there was no need for concern. Th ere were 10,000 United Nations peacekeepers in the region, and I was confident it wouldn't take them long to identify the problem and contain it. I was travelling with a documentary crew, gather ing footage for an hour-long feature on the Congo's devastating w ar. Our team was set to leave the next day, so I returned to my r oom at the Orchid Hotel - a Belgian-run auberge on the sluggish s hores of Lake Kivu - and continued packing. Half of our crew, whi ch included my husband, Eric Hoskins, had not yet returned from f ilming. I did not expect to hear these words at my door: Sam, Eri c's been detained. Security officials are holding him and the res t of the team at the police station, and have confiscated their p assports and equipment. They want to see our footage. Eric was ne gotiating for the others to be released after they were stopped f or filming in the streets, and was offering himself up as collate ral until the officials obtained what they wanted. We had UN perm ission to film, and this kind of brazen harassment of independent witnesses with camera gear is too often the prelude to atrocity. It was only then that I realized the gunfire we were hearing was a call to arms. I made a list of discrete tasks: grab a few tap es of footage unlikely to be deemed sensitive and whatever cash w e had left; call our contacts at the UN; and, quickly, find someo ne at the hotel who could take me to the police station. The road s in front of the Orchid were rapidly degrading into battle lines . It was no longer just the crackle of automatic fire I heard; th ere was the pitched whistling of bullets as well. They're getting closer. It was a resurgence of violence that no one was expectin g or could explain. Even hotel guests from the American embassy i n Kinshasa, who presumably had access to sophisticated intelligen ce reports, were caught off guard and could provide little inform ation. I was on the third task, about to climb into the back of a wheezing old Peugeot, when Eric came running towards me from an other vehicle. Get behind a wall! he shouted. There are soldiers everywhere. They've started shooting. Eric had lived through a vi olent coup in Sudan, and his instincts were unquestionably better than mine. As relieved as I was to see him, it was not the time to tell him. We ran between two buildings. I was unfocused, rush ing through different scenarios in my mind, none of them useful a nd all of them compounding my mounting anxiety. I'd faced several close calls in war zones before this one - attempted car ambushe s, the sudden appearance of menacing men in berets and mirrored s unglasses - but never one in which I'd had time to think. And it' s only when you have time to think, unarmed in the midst of a fie rce gunfight, that you understand how utterly and hopelessly fuck ed you really are. During a lull in the shooting, Eric and I scr ambled to the hotel lobby to find the other members of our team, none of whom had any war experience. It was then that I learned h e and the others had escaped after convincing the security offici als to follow them to the hotel to view the footage. Once confron ted by the violence in the streets, their captors fled in the oth er direction. The team's vehicle pressed on, fearing it would be more dangerous to remain separated from the rest of us. After a torturous night of uninterrupted gunfire and sporadic shelling, a few more details emerged. The Congolese military had arrested a couple of Rwandan soldiers at the border crossing a short distanc e from our hotel, reigniting the conflict (it wasn't clear which armed group they were associated with). Residents in the area wer e now trapped between these warring factions as they took shots a t one another, and the only thing we could do was take cover and wait. By late morning, the shelling had begun to intensify. Bull ets ricocheted through the hotel kitchen window. Along with every one else, Eric and I made frantic calls to UN authorities, trying to assess the security of our location and wondering whether we should risk moving. Unbelievably, the Internet in the business of fice was still working, and I managed to send a couple of emails to my mother in Toronto: Everything okay. Departure slightly dela yed. Back in a couple of days. We have an unstated arrangement wh en I'm in the field: I don't tell her where I'm going and she doe sn't ask, so long as I send her regular emails letting her know I 'm alive. The advice we received from United Nations and Canadian government contacts over the phone was consistent: Stay where yo u are, keep your heads down, and stand by for further instruction s. Two guests from the hotel came running up from the garden area saying they'd come under fire by the water's edge. No one was in jured, but it was an ominous warning: it meant we were in the mil itias' crosshairs. Shortly afterwards, it sounded as if the rock et-propelled grenades (RPGs) were landing dangerously close - so close that I immediately dropped to the floor, prompting an unfli nching Congolese man in the lobby, who'd obviously endured much w orse, to jokingly say, I see you do not enjoy the beautiful music we play here in the Congo. It is still one of the most reassurin g things anyone has ever said to me in the midst of a crisis. A f ew of the hotel staff had access to a small but impressively rein forced panic room, while the rest of us huddled together in what we deemed to be the safest area: a cramped guest room on the lowe st level of the hotel, built into the side of a hilly ridge and p rotected on three sides. Of course, if an errant RPG were to have landed in the hotel lobby above our heads, the entire building w ould have collapsed upon us. Despite reassurances from UN officia ls that we were not the targets and therefore not likely to take a direct hit, a significant proportion of the roving armed groups were drunk and stoned teenage boys whose weapons training would have been limited to Pull here. Whether we were targets or not, t he boys' spectacularly bad aim was worth heeding. At first, we c asually mingled in the room, introducing ourselves to the other t hirty or so people who'd taken refuge along with our team - local hotel staff, guests, and others who happened to be visiting when the shooting started and the roads became impassable. UN helicop ters beat overhead and for hours it sounded as if the front line had landed right on top of us. During a momentary reprieve we fil ed out of the room, only to be forced back in by a sudden and dra matic escalation of explosions. Eric and I crouched with the oth er members of our team at the back of the room, pressed against a n armoire. People huddled together in the bathroom and under furn iture, staying low to the floor. Mortars were landing on the hote l grounds. With each forceful bang, fine fragments of plaster sho wered down on us. But the worst was about to happen: the sound of running above our heads. Urgent, confused steps were heard betwe en the eruptions of gunfire. Doors were repeatedly opened, then s lammed - whoever it was, however many there were, they appeared t o be searching for something, or someone. No one dared speak. A man by the window reached above his head and gently pulled the cu rtain closed. Eric and I looked at one another, and I could tell by the pained expression on his face that we were having the same thought: They're in the building. There was one other woman in t he room - an American embassy employee. I knew it wouldn't be lon g before she and I would be dragged outside and raped. And what w ould happen to the men? Some would be mercilessly killed as a sta tement about who's really in charge of the eastern Democratic Rep ublic of Congo. Others would be shot so that an itinerant group o f pubescent boys might feel the rush of holding absolute power ov er life and death. After what had been a decade t, Signal, 2018, 3, Harper Voyager.

SYNOPSIS: Welcome to Hotel Kerobokan, or Hotel K, Bali's most notorious jail. Its walls touch paradise; sparkling oceans, surf beaches and palm trees on one side, while on the other it's a dark, bizarre and truly frightening underworld of sex, drugs, violence and squalor. Hotel K's filthy and disease ridden cells have been home to the infamous and the tragic: a Balinese King, Gordon Ramsay's brother, Muslim terror bombers, beautiful women tourists and surfers from across the globe. Petty thieves share cells with killers, rapists, and gangsters. Hardened drug traffickers sleep alongside unlucky tourists, who've seen their holiday turn from paradise to hell over one ecstasy pill. Hotel K is the shocking inside story of the jail and its inmates, revealing the wild 'sex nights' organised by corrupt guards for the prisoners who have cash to pay, the jail's ecstasy factory, the killings made to look like suicides, the days out at the beach, the escapes and the corruption that means anything is for sale - including a fully catered Italian jail wedding, or a luxury cell upgrade with a Bose sound system.

The world's most notorious Arab terrorist, has been responsible for countless deaths and acts of destruction. Yet little is know about him or his organization. Seale tells the whole story of Abu Nidal including sources of his vast personal fortune, the comlex motives behind his often inexplicable acts of terrorism, and his ties to various Middle ?East and European governments and their intelligence agencies. this is the first thorough and authroritative accoun ot Abu Nidal's career, the structure of his worldwide organization, and the master whhom he seerves. Based extensive access to high-level defectos from Nidal's terrorist organization, Seales' account is an illuminating, often startling analysis of the intricacies of Middle East politics for the past 25 years. Seale tackkles head-on the most explosive question of all about Abu Nidal: the suspicion among PLO leaders and other Middle East observers that he is actually a tool of Israeli intelligence --- of hard-liners who fear that any settlement with the Arabs will inevitably mean returning territory to them. Whatever ties Abu Nidal may have to Israel, his main activity has been the accumulation of a vast fortune, largely through extortion and arms trading. Abu Nidal's terroist networrk is laid bare from its beginnings in Baghdad to its current and precarious home in Libya. In presenting the details of Abu Nidal's violent career, Seale proves a look at the always intense and often violent factional strife within the Palestinian movement and its complex and divided leadeership. Seale is one of Britain's most distinguished Middle Eastd specialists. . First Edition Second Printing Stated. Hard Back.

Many thought such threats ended with the Cold War or that current policies can prevent or contain nuclear disaster. They are dead wrong―these weapons, possessed by states large and small, stable and unstable, remain an ongoing nightmare. Joseph Cirincione surveys the best thinking and worst fears of experts specializing in nuclear warfare and assesses the efforts to reduce or eliminate these nuclear dangers. His book offers hope: in the 1960s, twenty-three states had nuclear weapons and research programs; today, only nine states have weapons. More countries have abandoned nuclear weapon programs than have developed them, and global arsenals are just one-quarter of what they were during the Cold War. Yet can these trends continue, or are we on the brink of a new arms race―or worse, nuclear war? A former member of Senator Obama's nuclear policy team, Cirincione helped shape the policies unveiled in Prague in 2009, and, as president of an organization intent on reducing nuclear threats, he operates at the center of debates on nuclear terrorism, new nuclear nations, and the risks of existing arsenals., Columbia University Press, 2013, 3, Coronet.

The lethal, tubby personage of "Carlos Martinez," most feared of international terrorists, has already been meticulously etched by Colin Smith (Carlos, p. 148). Dobson and Payne, two British journalists, are more glib. As a result, Carlos takes on aspects of an evil Third World James Bond. From Paris or London headquarters, he plans his death raids, dispatching a Yugoslav consul here, a Latin American colonel there; women adore him, and he uses them for "safe houses" as he moves on to mastermind the OPEC attack in Vienna and the Entebbe raid. Dobson and Payne are not much concerned with Carlos' putative KGB affiliations; they see him as the lynchpin in an international "pool of mercenaries," a veritable knighterrant of the forces of darkness. Like Smith, they follow Carlos' tangled relations with Japanese and German terrorists; also, and more interestingly, they finger Libya's Colonel Qaddafi as the "paymaster" for the hit men - claiming among other things, that Carlos was entrusted with foiling Kissinger's Middle East settlement. Ranging farther afield, the authors suggest that the tactics of terrorism were developed in Latin America (Cuba, Guatemala); the new breed, however, is the transnational entrepreneur - terror is the commodity in which men like Carlos deal. Despite obvious immersion in their subject matter, Dobson and Payne rely a great deal on secret sources and - necessarily - on much circumstantial evidence. A final chapter borrowing from Lenin's "What Is To Be Done?" raises the prospect (credited to Daniel Moynihan) of creating an organization to fight the "First Internationale of Terrorism"; the language is that of an anti-insurgency textbook, and such a solution may provoke more anxieties than it allays. - .

Most businesses are familiar with cyber-crime from the many high-profile news articles appearing in recent years. However, the majority of today’s security breaches aren’t a result of sophisticated hacker activity, but spring instead from careless organizational practices, asset misuse, or the behaviour of employees. Whether the asset is market experience itself, intellectual property or competitive intelligence, you can be sure that someone somewhere, is interested in knowing what you know. Managing Knowledge Security provides an in-depth assessment of current trends in knowledge security and shows exactly what can be done to counter both careless and deliberately rogue activities. Starting with the employees themselves, the author discusses knowledge misuse, sloppiness and leaks – accidental or otherwise – before turning his attention to the knowledge losses that can occur as a result of information and communication technologies. Subsequent chapters discuss physical security, in the contexts of strategic alliances and crises – both natural (hurricanes, fires, etc) and human (terrorism, war, etc). Whether you are a newcomer to the field and are only just recognizing the scale of the issues involved, or you’re already engaged in crafting intellectual asset security programmes, this book will provide you with critical tools with which to view, understand and implement the most effective protection strategies for your organization. The protection of a company’s intellectual property would rank highly on most companies’ list of corporate priorities, but many organizations – when actually tested by a crisis – show themselves to be woefully unprepared in terms of response, contingency or recovery. Managing Knowledge Security is a comprehensive reference work that details how to secure both the physical and intangible assets owned by a business. Citing international examples such as Hewlett Packard, Microsoft. Google, Boeing and Amazon, Kevin Desouza covers all aspects of knowledge protection – from employee retention strategies to physical security and how to respond to unexpected crises. Whatever the size of your organization, knowledge security has to be a key issue for any manager. Managing Knowledge Security will prove to be an invaluable roadmap for both the management and protection of your company’s most valuable assets.

FROM THE PUBLISHER - Sean Hughes is an award-winning Irish comic turned bestselling writer whom the British Independent has compared to the likes of Irvine Welsh, James Kelman, and Will Self. Now, the popular comedian delivers IT’S WHAT HE WOULD’VE WANTED, a brutally funny, highly charged, and moving novel about a directionless thirty-year-old man’s belated transition into adulthood. Our narrator and protagonist is Shea Hickson, a commitment-phobic just-turned-thirty-year-old with somewhat adolescent leanings. Shea lives off lottery winnings and spends his time blindly serving a secret organization whose stated duty is to ‘seek truth,’ which, though Shea doesn’t quite realize it, turns out to be a small-time terrorist gig. Shea’s parents appear to be a quintessentially comfortable, suburban middle-class couple, and when sons Shea and Orwell (named after Che Guevara and George, their father having been something of a nostalgic radical) arrive for Christmas Eve, all seems as it should be. But when Shea turns a corner to find his father, a BBC weatherman, hanging from the light fixture, the son’s disaffected existence is turned upside down. Worse, Shea’s discovery of an encoded journal his father had been keeping uncovers shocking revelations about his father’s disappointed life as a parent, husband, and disillusioned minor celebrity. Jolted from his emotional ennui, Shea determines to figure out what drove his father to his death and, in the process of unraveling the Hickson family’s increasingly distasteful secrets, comes to better understand himself. With wry humor and savage undercurrents, the story winds through the seamier side of London life - skirting the worlds of television, newspapers, and small-scale urban terrorism. inventory #28748 ISBN: 0743201590., 0, Democratic Organization Iranian Women, 1979.

Abu Sayyaf, a ruthless Muslim extremist organization, has become bolder and deadlier, increasing the frequency and severity of its brutal acts of terror, and Mac Rainey and his elite Team Dogma are being dispatched to assist the Filipino Marines in dealing with the threat. But the CIA is keeping Rainey'sgroup in the dark about their true purpose: to act as human bait in the Company's attempts to hook two enemy collaborators: a high-ranking officer and a Filipino senator. Unaware that they are walking into a trap, the men of Dogma are ambushed, and two of their number are taken prisoner by a bloodthirsty sadist. And suddenly the mission is crystal clear for the warriors remaining: go in as three, with weapons blazing, and come back out as five -- or die as one. *** Quantity Available: 1.

Fresh out of the SAS, Matt Browning is down on his luck. He owes $500,000. If he doesn't get the money soon, he dies. From nowhere, he is offered a lifeline. A hit on al-Queda, sanctioned and helped by MI5. Matt gathers a small team of former SAS men to steal $10 million in gold and diamonds from the world's most deadly terrorist organisation. MI5 will give them all the equipment and information they need. No charges will ever be pressed. Matt thinks it's the perfect crime. Safe, quick, and patriotic.

Though she is only twenty-three, Zoya has witnessed and endured more tragedy and terror than most people experience in a lifetime. Born in a land ravaged by war, she was robbed of her parents when they were murdered by Muslim fundamentalists. Devastated, she fled Kabul with her grandmother and started a new life in exile in Pakistan. She joined the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan (RAWA), an organization that challenged the crushing edicts of the Taliban government, and she took destiny into her own hands, joining a dangerous, clandestine war to save her nation. Direct and unsentimental, Zoya vividly brings to life the realities of growing up in a Muslim culture, the terror of living in a perpetual war zone, the pain of losing those she has loved, the horrors of a womans life under the Taliban, and the discovered healing and transformation that lead her on a path of resistance.

There was a time in the not-too-distant past when large companies and powerful governments reigned supreme over the little guy. But new technologies are empowering individuals like never before, and the Davids of the world-the amateur journalists, musicians, and small businessmen and women-are suddenly making a huge economic and social impact. In Army of Davids, author Glenn Reynolds, the man behind the immensely popular, provides an in-depth, big-picture point-of-view for a world where the small guys matter more and more. Reynolds explores the birth and growth of the individual’s surprisingly strong influence in: arts and entertainment, anti-terrorism, nanotech and space research, and much more. The balance of power between the individual and the organization is finally evening out. And it’s high time the Goliaths of the world pay attention, because, as this book proves, an army of Davids is on the rise. Printed Pages: 272., Pearson Education, 6, Gyan Books Pvt. Ltd., 1991.

Re-imagining India and Other Essays brings together a collection of writings that originated from annual lectures, organised at the Institute of Social Sciences, by leading economists, political and legal thinkers, sociologists, linguists and historians. Addressing a diverse array of themes, the essays are bound by a common thread—concern for humanity. This volume explores a wide range of issues as varied as—need for basic education, poverty, human development index, self-employment over wage employment, the apartheid regime in South Africa, the role of democracy in counter-striking terrorism, the function of multiculturalism in preserving solidarity of a nation, the rise of Hindutva and its ideological implications, and the relevance of Gandhian and Nehruvian ideals in shaping of modern India. Commemorating well-known economist Professor D. T. Lakdawala’s contributions in the contemporary context, the scholars emphasise on the need to replace profit maximisation by profit-making and social returns. As the global economy struggles with an unprecedented recession—which has led to millions becoming unemployed and small investors and pensioners losing their life-long savings—the contributors underline the importance of revisiting the social-political-ideological structure, which largely shapes our policy making.Printed Pages: 280..

The Advisor is the story of those twenty-five months of fighting an laughing and hoping, and of the people who shared them - Major Chau, a man who so tremendously symbolized dedication to the destruction of the Infrastructure that the Viet Cong made several attempts on his life; Lietenant Hau, Cook's Vietnamese counterpart and close friend; Colonel Anderson and Major Allen, two of Dian's senior advisors; and other American and Vietnamese colleagues who - fighting a war at its rice roots, rather than viewing it through myriad news analyses and peace demonstration demands - found it impossible to remain objective about such a conflict.More than the story of bombings, sweep operations, enemy confrontations, and hamlet pillages, The Advisor tells how one man came to see the Vietnam War as his war, how he become involved in the district villagers' struggle for their freedom from terrorism, and how he learned the true costs of that freedom., Bantam Books, 1987, 2.5, Forum, Roseville, California, 2001.

Our ways are not your ways, and there shall be to you many strange things.' Earnest and naive solicitor Jonathan Harker travels to Transylvania to organise the estate of the infamous Count Dracula at his crumbling castle in the ominous Carpathian Mountains. Through notes and diary entries, Harker keeps track of the horrors and terrors that beset him at the castle, telling his fiance Mina of the Count's supernatural powers and his own imprisonment. Although Harker eventually manages to escape and reunite with Mina, his experiences have led to a mental breakdown of sorts. Meanwhile in England, Mina's friend Lucy has been bitten and begins to turn into a vampire. With the help of Professor Van Helsing, a previous suitor of Lucy's, Seward, and Lucy's fiance Holmwood attempt to thwart Count Dracula and his attempts on Lucy and consequently Mina's life. Arguably the most enduring Gothic novel of the 19th Century, Bram Stoker's Dracula is as chilling today in its depiction of the vampire world and its exploration of Victorian values as it was at its time of publication., Barnes & Noble Audio, 1980., 0<
