Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. First Printing [Stated]. 462, [2] pages. Illustrations. Map. Glossary. Source notes. Index. DJ is in a plastic sleeve. Malcolm McConnell was born in Illinois and raised in Wisconsin. At the age of 18 he enlisted in the United States Army and was honorably discharged after one year. He attended the University of Wisconsin and after graduation he left Wisconsin at the young age of 21 to work for the State Department in Washington, DC as a Foreign Service Officer; he was placed in Africa for 8 years. At age 30 he resigned from the State Department. Mr. McConnell started his personal writing career and wrote two novels that were realistic spy stories. He states that he got his inspiration for his novels from his experience in Africa. Mr. McConnell taught creative writing at four different universities. Mr. McConnell was a roving editor/writer for Reader's Digest for 25 years. His work at Reader's Digest allowed him to travel all over the world to cover a wide variety of stories. During this time he was able to visit Asia, Europe, Russia, the Middle East, Africa and South America. Mr. McConnell has also written 24 books, covering military and scientific subjects. Malcolm McConnell is the co-author of the New York Times number 1 bestseller American Soldier with Gen. Tommy Franks and My Year in Iraq with L. Paul Bremer III. Based on exclusive access to secret Vietnamese archives and classified U.S. sources, the authors have revealed highly sensitive documentation on American POW/MIA's during the Vietnam War from the highest echelons within the Vietnamese government. Derived from a Kirkus review: A timely and well-presented work that seeks to dispel the myth that there are still American POWs held in Southeast Asia. Reader's Digest editor McConnell, who often writes on military and governmental affairs, provides another in a recent set of books that convincingly debunk the assumption that Vietnam, for reasons known only to itself, continues to hold US servicemen prisoner more than 20 years after American withdrawal. This assumption has fed a cottage industry that preys on the families of those soldiers still unaccounted for. Today more than 2,000 are officially listed as missing in action. In reality, both sides know that these persons are dead. Using research gathered by Schweitzer, the first American to gain access to Vietnamese army records concerning POWs and MIAs as part of a quasi-official ``backdoor'' intelligence operation known as ``Swamp Ranger,'' McConnell documents a truth that is far more credible than the suspect conspiracy theories peddled by MIA organizations and some members of Congress. The US is unable to declare the remaining missing as lost because of overly stringent identification standards established as a result of lobbying by some of the families of those on the MIA list. The Vietnamese government has been unwilling to officially release information in its possession that could resolve matters because it fears a loss of face, since it declared early on that it had made available a full accounting. The situation in Hanoi has been complicated by bureaucratic wrangling between civilian officials and the military over who will control the information. The reality is that truth sells less well than hopeful, provocative fiction. Access to Vietnamese records makes this the definitive closure of a sad chapter in American history and must reading for all those interested in the topic.…

"My Year In Iraq." by Paul Bremmer III, published 2006, details Bremmer's time as the Top Dog (sic) in Baghdad/Iraq after the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime. Interesting in-sigh into the many challenges he had to face, and to be notice the even more he did not recognise. As an autobiography Bremmer does not admit the full mistakes made, and by the victor, but a good insight into both USA & Bremmer's mind on Iraq.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. How has the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) affected Nicaragua and its politics since the Sandinista revolution of 1979?

Roy "Reb" Brownell is co-author of The U.S. Senate and the Commonwealth and co-editor of Magna Carta and the Rule of Law. He writes and lectures about Congress and separation of powers and has contributed to a number of books and scholarly publications on the presidency, the vice presidency, the legislative branch, foreign affairs, and sports history. Addison Mitchell McConnell III (born February 20, 1942) is an American politician and retired attorney serving as the senior United States senator from Kentucky, a seat he has held since 1985. McConnell has been the Senate leader of the Republican Party since 2007 and has served as minority leader since 2021, having previously held that post from 2007 to 2015 and was majority leader from 2015 to 2021. In 1997, he founded the James Madison Center for Free Speech, a Washington, D.C.-based legal defense organization.[218][219] McConnell was inducted as a member of the Sons of the American Revolution on March 1, 2013.[220] McConnell is on the Board of Selectors of Jefferson Awards for Public Service. Kentucky has long punched above its weight in the US Senate, as some of the nation's most distinguished senators have hailed from the Commonwealth. Despite its relatively small population for much of American history, Kentucky has produced a record two Senate majority leaders, a record three Senate majority whips, and one of the country's greatest lawmakers, Henry Clay. These Kentuckians played an important role in the evolution of leadership institutions in the Senate. Official positions such as Senate majority leader and majority whip are nowhere to be found in the Constitution or early American history, yet today these offices have essentially eclipsed the constitutionally created legislative leadership positions of vice president and president pro tempore. While Kentucky senators have played a vital role in leading the Senate and in its institutional history, no book has told the story in its entirety. The US Senate and the Commonwealth is the first book of its kind to provide a detailed, yet accessible, discussion of the US Senate's leadership throughout its 225-year history. Senator Mitch McConnell and Roy E. Brownell II weave together the history of the Senate with lively portraits of prominent Kentucky senators as well as firsthand reflections about legislative leadership by a Senate majority leader. The authors illuminate and humanize this discussion by exploring the colorful and vivid lives of fifteen Kentucky lawmakers, including Henry Clay, Alben Barkley, and John Sherman Cooper. This compelling and fascinating study is an essential resource.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. First Printing [Stated]. [12], 417, [3] pages. Illustrations. Map. Index. Inscribed by the author on the title page. The inscription reads To Jeff with my deep appreciation for your great service to our country. L. Paul Bremer 1/13/06. The author was America's proconsul in Iraq in the fourteen months following the collapse of Saddam Hussein's regime. Lewis Paul Bremer III (born September 30, 1941) is a retired American diplomat. He was the second de facto chief civilian administrator of Iraq as leader of the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) following the 2003 invasion of Iraq by the United States, from May 2003 until June 2004. He joined the Foreign Service, which sent him to Kabul, Afghanistan, as a general services officer. Bremer held various domestic posts with the U.S. State Department, including one as an assistant to Kissinger from 1972 to 1976. He was with Kissinger on shuttle diplomacy missions to Israel, Syria, and Egypt to resolve the Yom Kippur War in 1973 In vivid, dramatic detail, Bremer reveals the previously hidden struggles among Iraqi politicians and America's leaders, taking us from the ancient lanes of the holy city of Najaf to the White House Situation Room and the Pentagon E-Ring. Bremer arrived in Iraq in May 2003. On May 11 he replaced Lt. General Jay Garner as Director of the Office for Reconstruction and Humanitarian Assistance. In June, the Office was transformed into the Coalition Provisional Authority, and Bremer became the country's chief executive authority. As the holder of the "most powerful foreign post held by any American since Gen. Douglas MacArthur in Japan," he compared himself to MacArthur as well as General Lucius Clay, who was in charge of the American zone in Germany following its defeat in World War II. As the top civilian administrator of the Coalition Provisional Authority, Bremer was permitted to rule by decree. Among his first and most notable decrees were Coalition Provisional Authority Order 1, which banned the Ba'ath party in all forms, and Coalition Provisional Authority Order 2, which dismantled the Iraqi Army. On July 13, 2003, Bremer approved the creation of an Iraqi Interim Governing Council with the stated mission of "ensuring that the Iraqi people's interests are represented." The council members were chosen by Bremer from among groups and individuals which had supported the American invasion of Iraq. Bremer retained veto power over the council's proposals. The council was authorized to select a limited number of delegates to key Coalition Provisional Authority committees, like the Program Review Board. Bremer also empowered the CPA to develop and implement the Iraqi constitution. On June 28, 2004, at 10:26 am local time, the U.S.-led Coalition Provisional Authority formally transferred limited sovereignty of Iraqi territory to the Iraqi Interim Government, two days ahead of schedule. Bremer departed from the country on the same day. Jeffrey L. Ward (Map) (illustrator).…
