DOWNLOAD EBOOKBased on his first-hand experiences and observations of how the Department of Homeland Security is failing to make America safe, Ervin shows the real threats we face--from nuclear attack to homegrown terrorism. Pushed out by the White House for refusing to sugarcoat its failures, Ervin candidly discusses the circumstances of his departure. He takes the reader inside the decision-making councils of this newest department of the U.S. government, and shows how his team's prescriptions for urgent change were ignored--leaving the US vulnerable to another terrorist attack.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"This Council-sponsored Independent Task Force finds that Africa is of growing strategic importance to the United States in addition to being an important humanitarian concern. In a world where economic opportunity, security threats, disease, and even support for democracy transcend borders, a policy based on humanitarian concerns alone serves neither U.S. interests, nor Africa's. Furthermore, the Task Force finds that critical humanitarian interests would be better served by a more comprehensive U.S. approach toward Africa; nor is it valid to treat Africa more as an object of charity than a diverse continent with partners the United States can work with to advance shared objectives"--OCLC

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhen George W. Bush became president in January 2001, he took office with a comfortably familiar surname, bipartisan rhetoric, and the promise of calming a public shaken by the convulsions of impeachment and a contested election. Then nine months later, after the tragedy of 9/11, both the country and the world looked to him for leadership that could unite people behind great common goals. Instead, three years into his term, George W. Bush squandered the goodwill felt toward America, turned allies into adversaries, and ran the most radical and divisive administration in the history of the presidency. The Book On Bush was the first comprehensive critique of a president who governed on a right wing and a prayer. In carefully documented and vivid detail, Eric Alterman and Mark Green, two of the leading progressive authors/advocates in the country, not only trace the guiding ideology that ran through a wide range of W.’s policies but also expose a presidential decision-making process that, rather than weighing facts to arrive at conclusions, began with conclusions and then searched for supporting facts.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe war in Iraq is a divisive issue in the United States, and historians and pundits will spend decades examining the conflict's causes, conduct, and consequences. Iraq Uncensored, an initiative of the bipartisan American Security Project (ASP), is neither pro-war nor antiwar, but an effort to begin to develop collective wisdom from our experience. Cutting across gender, generational, and party lines, ASP engaged leading figures from across American society to take a fresh look at the war in Iraq and offer unique perspectives and lessons for us all to consider about the use of American power in all its forms. With thought-provoking contributions from more than two-dozen military and congressional leaders, members of the media, academics, religious thinkers, and many others, Iraq Uncensored begins an open dialogue about who we are as a people and how we can best achieve our security. Iraq Uncensored is the start of a dialogue that will shape the lessons America learns from the Iraq experience. Be part of the conversation online at www.americansecurityproject.org/IraqUncensored and share your view on the impact of the Iraq war. The American Security Project is a nonprofit, bipartisan public policy and research organization dedicated to fostering knowledge and understanding of a range of national security issues, promoting debate about the appropriate use of American power and cultivating strategic responses to twenty-first-century challenges.
