Download or read book Destiny Matrix written by Jack Sarfatti and published by 1st Book Library. This book was released on 2002-11 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Different Cadence is a story about the people the author has encountered as clients, judges and witnesses. It is not a story about the lawyer but about the fascinating characters he has known and represented in more than thirty years of practice. There are pimps, whores, gamblers and killers. There are witches and mental patients in chains. There are judges who take the time to care; the murder of Rocky and Curly. James Parks on trial for killing his wife's lover; a gambler's trial; and two young men accused of statutory rape on trial for their lives. It tells the story of a retired Army sergeant, locked away in St. Elizabeths Mental Hospital without due process of law. Then there is death on Grapevine Mountain, which remains a mystery today. Some are innocent, ground up in the machinery of the system. Others are not so innocent. Guilty or innocent, their stories are fascinating. This book illustrates the contrast in the legal profession of yesterday, when lawyers represented people and their problems, as opposed to today's practice with mega firms and the emphasis on the 'Billable Hour.'

Download or read book Organizations at War in Afghanistan and Beyond written by Abdulkader H. Sinno and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2011-01-15 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "After we had exchanged the requisite formalities over tea in his camp on the southern edge of Kabul's outer defense perimeter, the Afghan field commander told me that two of his bravest mujahideen were martyred because he did not have a pickup truck to take them to a Peshawar hospital. They had succumbed to their battle wounds. He asked me to tell his party's bureaucrats across the border that he needed such a vehicle desperately. I double-checked with my interpreter that he was indeed making this request. I wasn't puzzled because the request appeared unreasonable but because he was asking me, a twenty-year-old employee of a humanitarian organization, to intercede on his behalf with his own organization's bureaucracy. I understood on this dry summer day in Khurd Kabul that not all militant and political organizations are alike."—from Organizations at War in Afghanistan and Beyond While popular accounts of warfare, particularly of nontraditional conflicts such as guerrilla wars and insurgencies, favor the roles of leaders or ideology, social-scientific analyses of these wars focus on aggregate categories such as ethnic groups, religious affiliations, socioeconomic classes, or civilizations. Challenging these constructions, Abdulkader H. Sinno closely examines the fortunes of the various factions in Afghanistan, including the mujahideen and the Taliban, that have been fighting each other and foreign armies since the 1979 Soviet invasion. Focusing on the organization of the combatants, Sinno offers a new understanding of the course and outcome of such conflicts. Employing a wide range of sources, including his own fieldwork in Afghanistan and statistical data on conflicts across the region, Sinno contends that in Afghanistan, the groups that have outperformed and outlasted their opponents have done so because of their successful organization. Each organization's ability to mobilize effectively, execute strategy, coordinate efforts, manage disunity, and process information depends on how well its structure matches its ability to keep its rivals at bay. Centralized organizations, Sinno finds, are generally more effective than noncentralized ones, but noncentralized ones are more resilient absent a safe haven. Sinno's organizational theory explains otherwise puzzling behavior found in group conflicts: the longevity of unpopular regimes, the demise of popular movements, and efforts of those who share a common cause to undermine their ideological or ethnic kin. The author argues that the organizational theory applies not only to Afghanistan-where he doubts the effectiveness of American state-building efforts—but also to other ethnic, revolutionary, independence, and secessionist conflicts in North Africa, the Middle East, and beyond.
