'Operation Millennium' was the terrible culmination of months of pressure from 'Bomber' Harris to get this new and deadly strategy accepted. It was an extraordinary feat of organization involving 1048 bombers, over 6000 aircrew and 53 British airfields. To ensure success, 'maximum effect' was the order. The Royal Air Force waged a campaign against any airmen whom showed faltering commitment, ruthlessly trying them by court martial. The atmosphere of night bomber stations is vividly recalled - the comradeship, the pity and the fear. The raid on Cologne is remembered by the crews of Bomber Command and the unlucky citizens of Cologne who endured the night raids. Eric Taylor has interviewed Britons and Germans, whose eyewitness accounts testify to the horror and heroism on both sides.

Another Paul Cane thriller with surprises in every chapter. In this story, which is a sequel to The Millennium Conspiracy, Paul Cane is one of only a few survivors from a plane that is blown up by a terrorist bomb over the River Thames. Al-Qaeda is suspected of being responsible but intelligence reports received by the CIA and MI6 after the event indicate that a Russian terrorist group could be to blame. After recovering from his injuries, Paul Cane vows retribution for the death of his wife and the other aircraft passengers. The covert search by MI6 and the US Counter Terrorist Unit for those responsible uncovers a web of criminal and political conspiracy which lead to murder and further acts of terrorism. It also reveals an al-Qaeda plan which eventually results in devastating attacks on US buildings that will have far-reaching consequences. Who is really behind the London plane bomb? Why does the Head of MI6 take a personal interest in the search? Why has the FBI not arrested suspected al-Qaeda terrorists? What secrets do the US President and British Prime Minister share? Retribution, murder, intrigue, assassination and political conspiracy, all underpin this new exciting page-turning thriller that takes the reader up to and just beyond the destruction of the World Trade Centre in New York on 11 September 2001.

Algeria's democratic experiment is seminal in post-Cold War history. The first Muslim nation to attempt the transition from an authoritarian system to democratic pluralism, this North African country became a test case for reform in Africa, the Arab world and beyond. Yet when the country looked certain to become the world's first elected Islamic republic, there was a military coup and the democratic process was brought sharply to a halt. Islamists declared jihad on the state and hundreds of thousands of civilians were killed in the ensuing decade of state repression. Le Sueur shows that Algeria is at the very heart of contemporary debates about Islam and secular democracy, arguing that the stability of Algeria is crucial for the security of the wider Middle East. Algeria Since 1989 is a lively and essential examination of how the fate of one country is entwined with much greater global issues.

A comprehensive examination of different forms of identity theft and its economic impact, including profiles of perpetrators and victims and coverage of current trends, security implications, prevention efforts, and legislative actions. What are the common forms of identity theft? Who are the most likely targets? What is law enforcement doing to counter a crime perpetrated not only by petty thieves and sophisticated con artists, but by terrorists, money-launderers, and those involved in human trafficking, drug trafficking, and illegal immigration? Identity Theft: A Reference Handbook examines these questions and more. With the 1998 Identity Theft and Assumption Deterrence Act as its starting point, this informative volume begins by explaining the federal, state, and global definitions of identity theft and how the lack of a standardized approach masks the true pervasiveness of the problem. In addition to addressing the crime's perpetrators, methods, and victims, the book also looks at what individuals, businesses, and the government are doing—and should consider doing—to curb the growth of this crime.

Although the Year 2000 computer problem has to a large extent been solved, some unforeseen malfunctions will undoubtedly continue to occur, due to unforeseen eventualities or improper `fixes'. In the event that damage is caused as a result, who will be responsible for compensating the victims? May the software developers, vendors or licensors be held liable if their products fail to function correctly at some point after the change in the millennium? Do end-users have a duty to ensure that their software is Year 2000 compliant? These questions, among others, will not be answered fully until the courts have had an opportunity to rule upon disputes which will inevitably continue to arise. Other matters to be considered include the type of agreement that has been entered into between the parties, which rules will therefore apply, and what defenses, if any, may be available to the defendant. Insurance is also an important issue, especially as many insurance companies will not cover damage resulting from the millennium bug under existing policies, and defenses such as force majeure and act of God have been raised. This special issue of the Comparative Law Yearbook of International Business discusses the legal implications of the millennium bug in various countries. It describes the way in which agreements relating to software are viewed by different jurisdictions, and the possible attribution of liability for damage caused by the bug.

This text provides an integrated view of post-9/11 security concerns over the United States's shared border with Mexico and Canada in regards to terrorism, unauthorized migration, drug and arms smuggling, and other illegal trade. The challenges facing U.S. Customs and Border Patrol are daunting. There are 19,841 miles of American land and water boundaries to protect, and 95,000 miles of shoreline and defined air space subject to homeland security surveillance. Additionally, the booming drug trade across the U.S.-Mexico border, combined with the ever-increasing number of migrants wanting to reach our land of opportunity, has resulted in a grim death toll: more than 5,000 known migrant deaths have occurred along the U.S.-Mexico border during 1995–2008, and in 2009, an estimated 9,635 Mexicans were killed in drug-related violence, with 2,573 people killed in Ciudad Juarez alone. U.S. Border Security focuses on the contrast between border security before and after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. This text also examines the controversial topics of illegal immigration, counterterrorism, drug and weapons trafficking, human smuggling, the impact of border security on the movement of people and goods, and the effect of the war on terrorism on civil and human rights.
