President Obama was elected on an anti-war platform, yet targeted killings have increased under his command of the 'War on Terror'. The US thinks of itself as upholding the rule of international law and spreading democracy, yet such targeted killings have been widely decried as extra-judicial violations of human rights. This book examines these paradoxes, arguing that they are partially explained by the application of existing legal standards to transnational wars. Critics argue that the kind of war the US claims to be waging - transnational armed conflict - doesn't actually exist. McDonald analyses the concept of transnational war and the legal interpretations that underpin it, and argues that the Obama administration's adherence to the rule of law produces a status quo of violence that is in some ways more disturbing than the excesses of the Bush administration. America's interpretations of sovereignty and international law shape and constitute war itself, with lethal consequences for the named and anonymous persons that it unilaterally defines as participants. McDonald's analysis helps us understand the social and legal construction of legitimate violence in warfare, and the relationship between legal opinions formed in US government departments and acts of violence half a world away.

For twenty years, the Taliban was the number one enemy of Western forces in Afghanistan. But it was an enemy that they knew little about, and about whose founder and leader, Mullah Omar, they knew even less. Armed with only a fuzzy black-and-white photo of the man, investigative journalist Bette Dam decided to track down the reclusive Taliban chief a decade back. But in the course of what had seemed an almost impossible job, she got to know the Taliban inside out, realized how dangerously misinformed the global forces fighting it were, and made a startling discovery about the elusive Omar's whereabouts. The outcome of a five-year-long pursuit, Looking for the Enemy is a woman journalist's epic story that takes the reader deep into the dangerous mountains and war-ravaged valleys of Afghanistan as it throws up several unknowns about an organization that is now once again at the helm in one of the world's most fragile states.

A powerful memoir from the late former U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld With the same directness that defined his career in public service, Rumsfeld's memoir is filled with previously undisclosed details and insights about the Bush administration, 9/11, and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. It also features Rumsfeld's unique and often surprising observations on eight decades of history. Rumsfeld addresses the challenges and controversies of his illustrious career, from the unseating of the entrenched House Republican leader in 1965, to helping the Ford administration steer the country away from Watergate and Vietnam, to the war in Iraq, to confronting abuse at Abu Ghraib. Along the way, he offers his plainspoken, first-hand views and often humorous and surprising anecdotes about some of the world's best-known figures, ranging from Elvis Presley to George W. Bush. Both a fascinating narrative and an unprecedented glimpse into history,Known and Unknown captures the legacy of one of the most influential men in public service.

"An unnamed American city feeling the effects of a war waged far away and suffering from bad weather is the backdrop for this startling work of fiction. The protagonists are aimless young men going from one blue collar job to the next, or in a few cases, aspiring to middle management. Their everyday struggles--with women, with the morning commute, with a series of cruel bosses--are somehow transformed into storytelling that is both universally resonant and wonderfully uncanny. That is the unsettling, funny, and ultimately heartfelt originality of Saïd Sayrafiezadeh's short fiction, to be at home in a world not quite our own but with many, many lessons to offer us"--

We live in a world surrounded by different people. Some people are very logical in their way of life. Some people are intellectual in their thought pattern and way of living. Some people live the culture if the neighbourhood. They live by the traditions of the community. Others pretend to be your friend but inwardly they have a hatred for your success. It will be very dangerous to live with someone who pretends to be your lover. Inwardly they are ravening wolves. The enemy you allow into your life will destroy you at the end. Most times the enemies are the ones closest to you. They may be your close relatives. You cannot afford to live with someone who desires to destroy your purpose and progress in life. They hijack people in psychiatric hospitals. They never thought a loved one would betray them. Some people have died prematurely by the works of their unknown enemies. I believe God is about to speak to you through this book. It is good to have a positive mindset, but it is more dangerous to do away with the negative side of men. Jesus Christ was positive to his loved ones. When He came near the religious people, He discerned into their thoughts and faced them to the face. Jesus Christ was positive and negative in all His dealings because He knew what was in man. The ability to discern the voice of the enemy gives you an advantage over the wicked plans they have designed for you. Read for yourself. John 2:24 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them because he knew all men. John 2:25 And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man. In this book, you will find divine and practical keys that will enable you to discern the voice of the enemy. I have written the kinds of enemies, the ways they operate and how to deal with them. God is about to use this book to help broaden your mind in the knowledge of the Word concerning your enemies.
