Download or read book Terrorism Retaliation and Victory written by Brian Rees and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2003 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We could use some help. Whatever you think of the present situation in Iraq, about President Bush and our nation ́s Global War on Terror, about all the political spin that is being put on current events, we can all agree: we could use some help. The threat of terrorist attack persists; the threat of chemical warfare and/or biological warfare may even have increased. Whether or not Saddam Hussein still had weapons of mass destruction (WMD), other regimes that support terrorism do have them, and we cannot be sure that they are not sharing them with terrorists determined to hurt us. Even a single completed attack with chemical, biological or nuclear weapons will be intolerable. While we can count on our military to prevail in a stand-up fight, military history and current events teach us that we cannot defeat this enemy by force of arms alone. Indeed, despite all our prowess and strength, we remain vulnerable; it seems just a matter of time before we are struck again. How can we prevail in the battle for the hearts and minds of the populations from whence tomorrow ́s terrorists may come? Fortunately, there are things we can do. Field-tested, proven cutting edge research reveals that subtle psychological operations can disarm opponents, promote peace and inhibit attacks on our soldiers overseas and on our citizenry at home. The implementation of novel solutions will require that we abandon politics as usual, overcome our ignorance and apathy, and stop kowtowing to moneyed special interests and the agendas of corporate greed. We must demonstrate the will to be true to the most fundamental principles of America. What can you do? Read the excerpt. Get the book. Contact your representatives. Become knowledgeable. Be active. Hold people in business and government accountable. Let ́s move forward: do your part.

Download or read book Off the Books written by J. Peder Zane and published by Univ of South Carolina Press. This book was released on 2015-04-06 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Head Off the Books in this collection of newspaper columns, where J. Peder Zane uses classic and contemporary literature to explore American culture and politics. The book review editor for the Raleigh, North Carolina News & Observer from 1996 to 2009, Zane demonstrates that good books are essential for understanding ourselves and the world around us. The one hundred and thirty columns gathered in Off the Books find that sweet spot where literature's eternal values meet the day's current events. Together they offer a literary overview of the ideas, issues, and events shaping our culture—from 9/11 and the struggle for gay rights to the decline of high culture and the rise of sensationalism and solipsism. As they plumb and draw from the work of leading writers—from William Faulkner, Knut Hamsun, and Eudora Welty to Don DeLillo, Lydia Millet, and Philip Roth—these columns make an argument not just about the pleasure of books, but about their very necessity in our lives and culture.

Romero's films to the development of literary naturalism and American culture, expanding the artist's creative footprint beyond his mastery of the "splatter movie" genre.

For this second edition, Williams reads Romero's Bruiser (2000) against his more recent Land of the Dead (2005) and takes a fresh look at Diary of the Dead (2007) and Survival of the Dead (2009), two overlooked films that feature Romero's greatest achievements yet.
