Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The war in Vietnam was not lost in the field, nor was it lost on the front pages of the New York Times or the college campuses. It was lost in Washington, D.C.'-H. R. McMaster (from the Conclusion)Dereliction Of Duty is a stunning analysis of how and why the United States became involved in an all-out and disastrous war in Southeast Asia. Fully and convincingly researched, based on transcripts and personal accounts of crucial meetings, confrontations and decisions, it is the only book that fully re-creates what happened and why.

Buch
Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Ours is an accelerated age, and thought - we presume - must keep up with the rush. Clear, crisp, businesslike, our customary ways of thinking may serve us well - when we're confronting the expected questions. But increasingly we aren't. New technology and systems of communication no longer assure the certainties that we have become accustomed to. When confronted by these new demands, we become impatient with ambiguity and uncomfortable with metaphor; our hare brains are utterly unprepared for an age where certainty is deceptive, intuition all. 272 pp. Deutsch.

Buch
Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A rich blend of history and spirituality, adventure and politics, laced with the thread of black comedy familiar to readers of William Dalrymple's previous work. In AD 587, two monks, John Moschos and Sophronius the Sophist, embarked on an extraordinary journey across the Byzantine world, from the shores of the Bosphorus to the sand dunes of Egypt. Their aim: to collect the wisdom of the sages and mystics of the Byzantine East before their fragile world shattered under the eruption of Islam. Almost 1500 years later, using the writings of John Moschos as his guide, William Dalrymple set off to retrace their footsteps. Taking in a civil war in Turkey, the ruins of Beirut, the tensions of the West Bank and a fundamentalist uprising in Egypt, William Dalrymple's account is a stirring elegy to the dying civilisation of Eastern Christianity.
