Trade paperback. Zustand: Very good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. xii, 783, [1] pages. Illustrations. Annexes. Contents include 12 chapters, an Epilogue, and 26 Annexes (A through Z) starting at page 299. Lieutenant Colonel Jim Nicholson has served active and reverse in the U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Army National guard, an the US Army Reserve. He did tours of duty as an Intelligence Officer in the Pentagon, Defense Intelligence Agency, US Central Command, US Forces Command, Joint Task Force Six, Ft. Bliss, TX, two multi-agency counterdrug task forces, Central America, the Middle East, and along the Mexican Border. He has also worked as a police department intelligence analyst, private investigator, political field organizer and speech writer, investigative reporter, obituary writer, cement finisher, oil rig floor hand, truck dock worker, and car salesman. Inscribed on the first page by the author: To General Petraeus Thank you for your nearly forty years of service to our nation--and for your friendship. Take care and God Bless, Dave. Jim Nicholson 30 Apr 13. Mr. Nicholson joined New Jersey's National Guard in 1982, and later transferred to the Army Reserve, rising to the rank of lieutenant colonel. It was about that time that he began leaving the Philadelphia Daily News for overseas military missions that he rarely discussed. Mr. Nicholson was sent on nearly a half-dozen missions to Panama in the late 1980s and early ?90s, and was involved in the 1989 U.S. invasion that overthrew Gen. Noriega. Other missions centered on Colombia and Venezuela. Along the way, Nicholson struck up a correspondence with Petraeus, and the two men became friendly. Retired Navy Capt. Bill Battle, a longtime friend of Mr. Nicholson's, was serving in the Iraq War when he discovered that Mr. Nicholson was still in contact with Petraeus. The general soon extended an offer: Would Mr. Nicholson consider coming out of retirement, at age 66? He couldn't say no. In 2012, Mr. Nicholson published a 783-page memoir on military analysis, Because No One Else Can: Inside the Military Intelligence Secret Sausage Factory. The title came from a Batman movie in which, after dispatching several thugs, the caped crusader is asked by a little girl, "Why do you do this?" "Because no one else can," Batman replies. In the book, Mr. Nicholson examined how smarts, focus, and determination drive the best intelligence agents, influencing the way they build facts into deductions, and how those conclusions help shape United States policy. "One of the greatest rewards an analyst can have is to know that he or she played a major role in actually directing an investigation, operation, mission or policy," he wrote. "'Did my being here make a difference?' . The analysts may never be able to answer that question. But, they do know why they do what they do. It is because no one else can." Mr. Nicholson was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize six times. Mr. Nicholson was buried at Arlington National Cemetery. Because No One Else Can is a textbook. But, some may want to read it as part textbook, part Playbook, part history book, part intelligence primer for the uninitiated and part Military Intelligence career memoir. This book is basically divided into three sections; Nicholson Sea Stories, the wisdom of some of the best analysts in the Intelligence Community as imparted in the Epilogue by The Tribal Elders and the Annexes; more than sixty Operational Plans, SOPs, Operational Security Templates, Memoranda, Concepts of Operation, Matrices and more. It is a guide for the young analyst or manager but also a look inside for those who know little of the Military Intelligence Community and always wanted a tour through the Secret Sausage Factory but were forbidden. In Post-9/11 America, everyone has a need to know. The author gives his views on how to reduce the military rape problem, his theory on what is behind the Green-on-Blue ( Insider ) deadly assaults on allied troops in Afghanistan, the SEAL book controversy, the outing of CIA undercover operative Valerie.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. 208, xx, [1] ; illustrated, 4 in color ; 21 cm. ; John Horace McFarland (1859-1948) was an American master printer and horticulturist. Throughout his career, he advocated for civic beautification, and he became a leader in the conservation movement of the early twentieth century. His wide-ranging achievements made a lasting impact on printing processes, horticulture, and environmental protection. During McFarland's early years, his father operated a nursery and a small weekly newspaper in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. McFarland worked in both of his father's businesses as a youth. These early experiences instilled the passion for horticultural beauty and the business expertise that distinguished him personally and professionally. He eventually purchased his father's press. Combining the skills learned from these early experiences, he established a successful printing company of his own. He founded the J. Horace McFarland Company/Mount Pleasant Press, specializing in seed catalogs and nursery trade publications. Over the course of his lifetime, McFarland wrote and lectured extensively on horticulture, printing methods, and civic improvement. McFarland was a prominent member of the American Rose Society.

With its richly detailed evocation of the land and the people Lawrence passionately believed in, its incisive portraits of key players, from Faisal ibn Hussein, the future Hashemite king of Syria and Iraq, to General Sir Edmund Allenby and other members of the British imperial forces, The Seven Pillars of Wisdom is an indispensible primary historical source.
