Описание: The purpose of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), according to its first Secretary General, Lord Ismay, was �to keep the Russians out, the Americans in, and the Germans down.� But this is not the whole truth�the purpose of NATO was to entrench US dominance vis-�-vis the post-War liberal order by manufacturing a Russian threat, perpetuating German disunity, and advancing the argument that America must retain a military presence on the European continent in perpetuity. Built on a foundation of half-truths, lies and outright distortions of fact, NATO was a vehicle for the American-led containment of the Soviet Union, promoting a false prophesy of doom at the hands of international Communism that served to legitimize American militarism. On several occasions it nearly became self-fulfilling and nearly destroyed the world. The End of NATO looks at the history of this intergovernmental alliance with the benefit of hindsight, exposing the cause and effect relationship between NATO policies and the creation of an ongoing East-West standoff in Europe, including the proliferation of nuclear weapons that created conditions that threatened a global thermonuclear annihilation. The reunification of Germany in 1989 and the demise of the Soviet Union in 1991 marked the end of NATO�s legitimacy but not its abandonment, due to the American desire to continue its military dominance of Europe. The End of NATO tracks how at American behest, NATO deviated from its original mandate of collective self-defense to one which is violating guarantees made to Russia�s Mikhail Gorbachev not to expand eastward, fighting offensive wars of aggression on European soil, and expanding its reach to North Africa, the Middle East, and Southwest Asia. These missions have created deep divides within the expanded membership of the new NATO, prompting a debate about the primary mandate of the organization�to protect Europe and the trans-Atlantic by promoting stability and security on the European periphery, or to return to containing the regional ambitions of what is now a rejuvenated Russia. Neither mission is in the interests of greater Europe. The End of NATO explores the many fissures created through the pursuit of these competing agendas and why they will ultimately lead to the demise of an organization which has long lost its purpose and utility.

Описание: "A travel-sized history book on Alaska, with up-to-date information and historical photographs about the Last Frontier`s past and present."--
In the 21st Century no business or government will make decisions without relying on digital information. Can you trust the information you use to make decisions? Can your decisions be trusted by others?
Trust is under attack, making every decision more vulnerable. This is equally true for customers and for each of us in our daily decisions--without trust, spending and other investments shift to other options.
To achieve digital trust, Jeffrey Ritter explored the essence of trust itself. He discovered something remarkable--trust is a calculated decision, not an emotion. That simple truth required a new way to think differently about trust, especially digital trust, and ignited the author to create and build something new, rather than merely patch the status quo.
Described by executives in the opening pages as "essential reading for corporate executives," "ground-breaking," "fascinating," and a book that "will transform the dialogue about governance in a digital world," Achieving Digital Trust boldly declares risk management dead as a business discipline and offers, instead, an integrated strategy for building something new--digital trust.
Woven across a story of two fictional global competitors battling to survive and prosper, Ritter introduces a complete, integrated portfolio of tools he created to help business executives, IT strategists, and innovation leaders survive and excel in our digital world:
- A Trust Vocabulary-a shared lexicon of new phrases and terms, and new meanings for existing words, that enable discussion of trust decisions and increase efficiency of trust calculations.
- The Trust Decision Model-an integrated view of the sequential decision points and information layers that link together the steps taken when deciding whether or not to trust, and builds a bridge between human and computational trust.
- The Rules for Composing Rules-a set of fundamental principles for authoring effective rules for crossing the chasm between the ambiguity of broad, governing formal rules and the binary precision of executable software code.
- The Unified Rules Model-a new architecture for organizing the complexity of business, technology, and legal rules into unified, functional structures supporting the design and execution of digital systems that deliver compliance and earn our trust.
- The Unified Information Model-a new framework for organizing and designing digital information assets that result in more effective trust decisions and enhanced governance.
- The Digital Trust Design Principles-a framework for choosing among priorities and trade-offs to focus resources appropriately and improve desired outcomes.
- The Trust Prism-an entirely new, 3-D, visual tool for designing, building, and governing complex information systems, including in the Cloud . . . and more.
Together, these are a complete tool-kit that will change how leaders and executives make decisions that matter, build digital assets that can be trusted, and visualize and manage the complexity of their companies and the wired ecosystems in which they compete.

It's the first Secret Service book told from a spouse's perspective. Rich in emotion, Breaking Tecumseh's Curse is the heartfelt love story of a young couple's journey through some extraordinary times.
Breaking Tecumseh's Curse spotlights a dangerous period for the Secret Service-from 1972-1982. During that time, five assassination attempts took place against persons protected by the USSS, more than any other era. The book presents the historic events of the time and a rare insider's look at the Secret Service.
Join Bob Ritter and his fellow agents for fun, adventure and some sorrow too as they try to break Tecumseh's Curse.
