This item is sold brand new. It is ordered on demand from our supplier and is usually dispatched within 8 - 13 working days War corrupts. Endless war corrupts absolutely. Ever since 9/11 America has fought an endless war on terror, seeking enemies everywhere and never promising peace. In "Pay Any Price," James Risen reveals an extraordinary litany of the hidden costs of that war: from squandered and stolen dollars, to outrageous abuses of power, to wars on normalcy, decency, and truth. In the name of fighting terrorism, our government has done things every bit as shameful as its historic wartime abuses?and until this audiobook, it has worked very hard to cover them up. Lincoln suspended habeas corpus. FDR authorized the internment of thousands of Japanese Americans. Presidents Bush and Obama now must face their own reckoning. Power corrupts, but it is endless war that corrupts absolutely. Features Summary War corrupts. Endless war corrupts absolutely. Ever since 9/11 America has fought an endless war on terror, seeking enemies everywhere and never promising peace...

For years UN peacekeepers have been deployed to war-torn regions of the world, from Rwanda to Serbia, Congo to East Timor.  Now it's America's turn. A crippling terrorist attack against the United States has resulted in its cities emptied, its countryside set afire, and the government shaken to its knees.  In the aftermath of this attack, civil war broke out, until the UN arrived to establish an uneasy peace. Samuel Simpson is a young, idealistic journalist from Canada who, seeking adventure, volunteers to become a record-keeper for a UN war-crimes investigation team at work in upper New York State. While Samuel and his team travel through the New York countryside, searching for evidence of war atrocities, he soon realises that death is quick to strike from any farmhouse, road corner or rest area.  Even more chillingly, he begins to suspect that there is a traitor in the group, trying not only to conceal evidence of this war crime but working to betray and kill them all... Soft cover, very good condition.  388 pages.

1990 first edition hardcover with dust jacket and 403 pages in very good condition. R50 postage in SA. Before southern Africa's peace there came war. Between August 1987 and July 1988 Fidel Castro 's Cuban Revolutionary Armed Forces, the SADF, Angolan government forces directed by Soviet officers, and an Angolan opposition guerilla army trained by Red China, France and the United States, clashed in the biggest land battles in the history of black Africa. It was a war for Africa's very soul. It culminated in a peace agreement, the New York Accords, signed on 22 December 1988, which have already proved as momentously important for Africa as the 1945 Yalta Agreement between Roosevelt, Stalin and Churchill was for post-war Europe.

The War for Africa: Twelve Months That Transformed a Continent - Fred Bridgland - Ashanti -1990- Hard cover -No dust cover - Book in very good condition. Before southern Africa's peace there came the war. Between August 1987 and July 1988 Fidel Castro's Cuban Revolutionary Armed Forces, the south African Defence Force, Angolan government forces directed by Soviet officers and an Angolan opposition guerrilla army trained by Red China, France and the United States clashed in the biggest land battles in the history of black Africa. It was a fierce collision of ideologies and of modern warplanes, missiles and tanks across one of the world's most remote and undeveloped terrains known to Angola's former Portuguese colonial rulers as the Land at the End of the Earth. Thousands of men died and thousands more were terribly maimed. Weapons and ammunition worth billions of collars were destroyed and expended. The Angolan economy was crippled. The budgets of Cuba, South Africa and the Soviet Union were subjected to terrible strains. It was a War for Africa's very soul. It culminated in a peace agreement, the New York Accords, signed on 22 December 1988,. The reader will learn what it is like to encounter an advanced Soviet MiG fighter in a French Mirage warplane 30,000 feet above the forests of Africa; what emotion grip a reconnaissance commando lying unseen inside Cuban lines within feet of enemy soldiers; how it feels in an armoured car to face a Soviet T-55 tank at just 30 feet in burning bush and swirling dust and smoke. This is, however, far more than just an account of men in battle.
