In Catastrophic Success, Alexander B. Downes compiles all instances of regime change around the world over the past two centuries. Drawing on this impressive data set, Downes shows that regime change increases the likelihood of civil war and violent leader removal in target states and fails to reduce the probability of conflict between intervening states and their targets. As Downes demonstrates, when a state confronts an obstinate or dangerous adversary, the lure of toppling its government and establishing a friendly administration is strong. The historical record, however, shows that foreign-imposed regime change is, in the long term, neither cheap, easy, nor consistently successful. The strategic impulse to forcibly oust antagonistic or non-compliant regimes overlooks two key facts. First, the act of overthrowing a foreign government sometimes causes its military to disintegrate, sending thousands of armed men into the countryside where they often wage an insurgency against the intervener. Second, externally-imposed leaders face a domestic audience in addition to an external one, and the two typically want different things. These divergent preferences place imposed leaders in a quandary: taking actions that please one invariably alienates the other. Regime change thus drives a wedge between external patrons and their domestic prot?g?s or between prot?g?s and their people. Catastrophic Success provides sober counsel for leaders and diplomats. Regime change may appear an expeditious solution, but states are usually better off relying on other tools of influence, such as diplomacy. Regime change, Downes urges, should be reserved for exceptional cases. Interveners must recognize that, absent a rare set of promising preconditions, regime change often instigates a new period of uncertainty and conflict that impedes their interests from being realized.

The Story of Woman - Book 1 - The Mountain, reflects the journey of all women at different times in their lives. A significant spiritual, emotional and physical journey, written as a metaphor for our own journey, is being undertaken by Woman as she learns important lessons about herself along the way up her personal mountain. Ultimately, she reaches the pinnacle of her mountain and celebrates how far she has come on this journey. The end of one journey is really just the beginning of another. A beautiful book of story and messages.
Woman is ready to begin her walk up the mountain. However, she stands in stillness for a few moments at its base as she takes in the sheer magnitude of the journey ahead. Life has been nudging her to create change for some time and willingly, or perhaps, in reality a little unwillingly, she now she finds herself standing at the base of this mountain looking upward.
She cannot see the peak of this mountain, hidden as it is in mist. She has no idea how far she needs to climb. She has no idea what is waiting for her along the trail, let alone what is at the top, but she does know that this new adventure is exciting and perhaps a little risky at times. It is probably more than a little scary in places and yet, her intuition is pushing her to take this next trail.
