The Secret Life of Becky Miller by Sharon Hinck Pdf

Since a 1994 military coup brought to power the incumbent regime of President Yaya Jammeh, the Gambia s foreign policy and democratization process greatly contributed towards shifting the dynamics of politics and security of the sub-region. Following a sanctioned developmental aid and three parliamentary and presidential elections, foreign policy in the Gambian foreign policy along the global political spectrum ushered the emergence of several new actors in region. Using contemporary political theory,this book carefully examined the military coup in The Gambia, the democratization process and the security implications of sanctioning aid for the minuscule West African nation. The book distinctively argued that sanctioning aid on resource poor small states largely determines foreign policy behavior, for reasons of survival, security and legitimacy. In the case of minuscule resource poor Gambia, the book concluded that suspending aid in the aftermath of the July 22nd, 1994 military Coup was not at all necessary,because the people needed that aid.The book outlined policy measures for the Gambia and developmental partners to progressively deal with her contradictions and challenges

The Strange Secret of Kickapoo Crossing by Donald Krist Pdf

An old Indian blessing which becomes a curse, shadows Bryce Harrington’s early life during summer stays at his stepmother’s family farm at Kickapoo Crossing in northeast Iowa. The blessing of the Kickapoo Indians follows him as a young U.S. Navy intelligence officer serving in the Soviet Union and France during World War II. But the Kickapoo blessing urns into a curse by careless actions of a 4-F guitar-playing bootlegger at Kickapoo Crossing while Bryce Harrington is gone, and destroys virtually the entire family who nurtured him in his youth. But Bryce Harrington is protected by a special talisman given him by his dying Grandma Susie; and, following his return to the U.S. for further education, he learns of the colossal Russian blunder of not recycling precious palladium pellets used in fertilizer production by former Soviet munitions make Azurite Fertilizer Works. He returns there as a businessman and also as an undercover agent for the U.S. Pentagon to learn new secret Soviet methods with codes that were shutting down U.S. surveillance of Russian military operations. Bryce Harrington’s success in this endeavor and subsequently in business, and his resolution of the Kickapoo curse, follow in a thrilling, mysterious conclusion.

Plain Speaking by Merle Miller Pdf

“Never has a President of the United States, or any head of state for that matter, been so totally revealed, so completely documented” (Robert A. Arthur). Plain Speaking is the bestselling book based on conversations between Merle Miller and the thirty-third President of the United States, Harry S. Truman. From these interviews, as well as others who knew him over the years, Miller transcribes Truman’s feisty takes on everything from his personal life, military service, and political career to the challenges he faced in taking the office during the final days of World War II and the beginning of the Cold War. Using a series of taped discussions from 1962 that never aired on television, Plain Speaking takes an opportunity to deliver exactly how Mr. Truman felt about the presidency, and his thoughts in his later years on his accomplishments and the legacy he left behind. “The values of Plain Speaking, on the whole, are those of the highest form of political communication: the bull session. As with all good bull sessions, what is said here ranges widely in quality and seriousness, as one should expect when dealing with a complex man.” —The New York Times “Plain Speaking has a nostalgic, downhome quality of good friends gossiping over the back fence, or saying their piece of a twilight eve rocking on the porch—and if those fellas back in Washington have their secret machines running, well, they won’t like what they overhear. Not one little bit.” —Kirkus Reviews
