Phillip Abbott Luce (October 17, 1935 – December 9, 1998) was an American author, lecturer and political organizer who had earlier taken leadership roles in communist organizations, mostly the pro-Red Chinese Progress Labor Movement (PLM), only to repudiate them by early 1965. He was indicted in 1963 as one of the main leaders and spokesman for an unauthorized trip to communist Cuba that arranged an audience with Fidel Castro and Che Guevara. He was later acquitted in a 1967 U.S. Supreme Court decision, which ruled that "Crimes are not to be created by inference." After his split from PLM, Luce became a leading campus activist in the conservative Young Americans for Freedom (YAF), gravitating towards libertarianism by 1970, and produced a pamphlet called The Pink Sheet On The Left speaking at the "Left-Right Festival of Liberation" conference in 1970, later known as part of the libertarian Future of Freedom Conference series. During his anti-communist years, Luce appeared frequently on television and radio, spoke on college campus across the country, wrote five books, penned articles for nationally known journals, and engaged in almost legendary debates with Tom Hayden and Jerry Rubin in his efforts to decry the radical Left. He joined Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) and participated in campus speaking tours for local YAF chapters and conservative youth organizations. Luce wrote for National Review, Human Events, Reason, The Saturday Evening Post, and others. More

Notes in ink on rep. Some pencil marks to text noted. Preface, Notes, and Index.

Ian Steven Lustick (born 1949) is an American political scientist and specialist on the modern history and politics of the Middle East. He held the Bess W. Heyman Chair in the department of Political Sciences at the University of Pennsylvania. He completed his Ph.D. at the University of California, Berkeley in 1976 with a dissertation titled Arabs in the Jewish State, later adapted for a book of that title. He spent 1979-1980 as an analyst for the Bureau of Intelligence and Research of the Department of State. He was subsequently a professor at Dartmouth College, where he taught for 15 years. Lustick became more broadly known with the publication of his book Trapped in the War on Terror in which he argues that the War on Terrorism is an irrational policy for fighting America's enemies. He argues that this policy was initially conceived of by a neo-conservative cabal at the Project for a New American Century who were determined to shift the direction of U.S. foreign policy towards unilateralism. Given a number of political features unique to the US system, Lustick concluded, the War on Terror has ultimately turned into something beyond anyone's control. More

I hope you enjoy this historical narrative, and, at times, critique of a great organization--the CIA Melissa Boyle Mahle. As this book was going to press, the CIA insisted on a number of changes to the typeset pages. The published chose to indicate the parts of the book so censored by blacking out the relevant passages. Previous CIA redactions resulted in rewritten pages or a note in the book that the Agency had requested the change. Melissa Boyle Mahle is a writer and former Central Intelligence Agency officer. She graduated from University of California, Berkeley and went on to acquire fluency in Arabic. Mahle worked as a CIA "field officer" (spy) for the CIA from the mid-1980s until 2002 in the Middle East. She was involved in US intelligence operations in the Middle East, Central Asia, and Africa. Her service spans the presidencies of Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, to the beginning of George W. Bush. Since leaving the CIA, Mahle has worked as a commentator, movie consultant, author, and publisher. In 2004, after leaving the CIA, Mahle published Denial and Deception, in which she criticized in detail the CIA as rudderless and adrift in a post-Cold War world up to 9/11. She also described the challenges of being a married woman field agent (in a covert career that overlapped with Valerie Plame). More

Long Walk to Freedom is an autobiographical work written by South African President Nelson Mandela, and first published in 1994 by Little Brown & Co. The book profiles his early life, coming of age, education and 27 years in prison. Under the apartheid government, Mandela was regarded as a terrorist and jailed on the infamous Robben Island for his role as a leader of the then-outlawed ANC. He later achieved international recognition for his leadership as president in rebuilding the country's once segregated society. The last chapters of the book describe his political ascension, and his belief that the struggle still continued against apartheid in South Africa. Mandela dedicated his book to "my six children, Madiba and Makaziwe (my first daughter) who are now deceased, and to Makgatho, Makaziwe, Zenani and Zindzi, whose support and love I treasure; to my twenty-one grandchildren and three great-grandchildren who give me great pleasure; and to all my comrades, friends and fellow South Africans whom I serve and whose courage, determination and patriotism remain my source of inspiration."
