Download or read book Tracing the Eagle s Orbit written by Gautam Maitra and published by Tracing the Eagle's Orbit. This book was released on 2007 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like the Eagle, the United States roves round a definite orbit defined by its foreign policies. It has its own set of values and principles, interests and goals that form the bedrock of its foreign policies guided by the Declaration of Independence. These values and principles, serve as lodestar that help keep the United States flying towards the furthest points in that orbit through the efforts towards the completion of the still unfinished jobs of the Declaration and the War of Independence. The perimeters of these concentric circles happen to be those crucial phases that America attained through the successful conduct of its foreign policies at the various crossroads in that independent nation's journey towards the future. The combined sagacity and 'burning will' of the American founding fathers triggered off a 'political' big bang that not only caused a great upheaval in the geopolitical foundations of European monarchic powers but also made American thoughts and ideals so powerful a 'religion' as to pervade the entire landmass of our planet for quite sometime to come. With the abrupt termination of the bipolar world order in the early 1990s, the scepter of the dark and the chaotic Middle Age loomed. Instead of deciding to 'rule' the rest of the world by the power of sword that had characterized the Middle Age or instead of cornering the gains of modern scientific-technological inventions through colonial 'ploys' that had possessed several erstwhile European powers, ever-dynamic United States rather set on a post modern, neo-liberal course. As a result, 'non-imperial' United States now faces a dilemma in shaping the rest of the world in its own image. This book is unique in that it goes to the heart of that riddle.

Book excerpt: Station One is the first space station built for civilian habitation, orbiting Earth and housing its inhabitants in safety. Sixteen-year-old Geoff Anders lives among the many occupants; in order to fit in, he makes the mistake of joining a gang known as the Taurids. He builds a circle of friends, and together they have fun wreaking havoc wherever they can. But when Geoff decides he wants out, his leader finds a way to keep him in line. Chin Ho sets his sights on Geoff's little sister, Barbara, threatening to set her up as a prostitute if Geoff doesn't toe the line. In order to keep this from happening, Geoff finds himself the victim of blackmail. To save his sister, he must participate in a dance competition that could save Barbara's life and his own but will he be able to keep up with Chin and his other opponents? Torn by loyalty to his friends and a need to be free of Chin's threats and tyranny, Geoff works hard to prepare for the competition. Barbara is not yet in the clear, but he would do anything to keep his sister safe. Soon, a simple gang shoplifting goes terribly wrong, and murder is mentioned. Geoff knows he should go to the police, but if he isn't careful, he may end up leaving the gang in a body bag.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The foreign policy of the George W. Bush administration has won few admirers, and many anticipate that his successor will repudiate the actions of the past eight years. In their provocative account Lynch and Singh argue that Bush's policy should be placed within the mainstream of the American foreign policy tradition. Further, they suggest that there will, and should, be continuity in US foreign policy from his presidency to those of his successors. Providing a positive audit of the war on terror (which they contend should be understood as a Second Cold War) they maintain that the Bush doctrine has been consistent with past policy at times of war and that the key elements of Bush's grand strategy will continue to shape America's approach in the future. Above all, they predict that his successors will pursue the war against Islamist terror with similar dedication.

Download or read book Broken Arrow written by Jim Winchester and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2019-06-19 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This “unnerving exposé” of a lost American nuclear bomb “is a valuable contribution to the history of the navy, the cold war, and nuclear weapons” (Booklist). On December 5th, 1965, the USS Ticonderoga was on its way from Vietnam to Japan, practicing nuclear combat procedures along the way. A young pilot from Ohio strapped into an A-4 Skyhawk bomber for a routine simulated mission. But after mishandling the maneuver, the plane and its pilot sunk to the bottom of the South China sea, along with a live B43 one-megaton thermonuclear bomb. A cover-up mission began as rumors of sabotage began to circulate. The incident, known as a ‘Broken Arrow’, was kept under wraps for twenty-five years. The details that emerged caused a diplomatic incident, revealing that the U.S. had violated agreements not to bring nuclear weapons into Japan. Broken Arrow tells the story of Ticonderoga’s sailors and airmen, the dangers of combat missions and shipboard life, and the accident that threatened to wipe her off the map and blow US-Japanese relations apart. For the first time, through previously classified documents, never before published photos of the accident aircraft and the recollections of those who were there, the story of carrier aviation’s only ‘Broken Arrow’ is told in full.
