Paperback / softback. New. In March 2006, both Afghan and American officials were still claiming, just before a series of particularly ferocious clashes, that 'the Taliban are no longer able to fight large battles'. This book states that in reality, as early as 2003-5 there was a growing body of evidence that cast doubt on the official interpretation of the conflict., 6, New York: New York Times, 2004. Magazine.

What was conceived as a country of peace and dignity, however, has emerged as a society of contradictions, ethnic tensions, clashes between the religious and the seculara society buffeted by extreme changes in both national and international politics. The ideals of the founders have floundered in the reality of wars and violence.In this dramatic, fair-minded portrait of Israel, Amos Elon places the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East in brilliant historic perspective. In illuminating the political and philosophical background of the State of Israel, he offers rare insight into the rise to power of Menachem Begin and the complications of the Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty, and he shows how Zionism, ironically, led to the development of its bittersweet enemy, the Palestinian nationalist movement., 6, Great Britain: Vision On Publishing, 2002. Large Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. No jacket. Scratch on front board, rear board creased, boards very lightly soiled. 2002 Large Hardcover. 247 pp. "The victor's account of history may be the one that is recorded, but photojournalism still has the power to undermine the official version. Such is the corrective testimony of this startling collection of banned, suppressed or conveniently forgotten news images depicting moments from the last century where the propaganda needs of politicians, despots and stars clashed with sometimes awkward, sometimes horrifying truths. Incorporating images and text from the Index On Censorship and the Hulton Getty Picture Collection, the images represent a reality check on alleged events from the last hundred years, documenting a power struggle with rival cultural forces of media and information. Reclaimed from the trash cans of the Second World War, Hitler's preening speech rehearsals come back to argue with his self-made myth. From the cruelty of Stalin's Russia to fundamentalist chaos in Iran, via disgruntled starlets, ecological destruction and US nuclear tests, Underexposed gathers some of the most ideologically dangerous photographs ever taken and releases them to haunt the increasingly manipulated, retouched present. With an incisive forward by Colin Jacobson, the book is a seminal work for all those curious about what lies beneath the last century's layers of spin., Vision On Publishing, 2002, 3, Wiley. New. Special order direct from the distributor, Wiley, 6, University Of Michigan, United States, 2009. Later Edition. Softcover. Good Condition. Politicians have long claimed that Western Civilization is the epitome of democratic values and international stability. Yet it is less than clear who is - or is not - part of the West. Germany, for example, was Western Europe's sworn enemy for much of the early twentieth century, but emerged as a staunch Western ally after World War II. Patrick Jackson's dense, penetrating political geneaology explains how the Marshall Plan re-invented the West to include a reconstructed Germany - a move critical to the development of the postwar world order. "Civilizing the Enemy" skillfully dissects our concepts of the West and Western Civilization, explaining how they were shaped and given weight in modern international relations, and demonstrating the puzzling persistence of these concepts in the face of contradictory realities. It will stand as a powerful tonic to simplistic notions of a clash of civilizations. All pictures shown are of the actual product offered for sale Trade Paperback. Size: 250mm - 320mm. 286 pages.
