This publication is an argument and a suggestion-The argument is that what Shakespeare had to say about human behavior in the political and leadership realms is worth reading, and hearing, today. The suggestion is that analysts concerned with understanding the behavior of important individuals-leaders, commanders, supporters, family members, enemies, rivals, inner circle members, opposition figures-should do so. It is perhaps an "out of the box" idea; but I would contend that Shakespeare should be part of the canon of intelligence literature, a fundamental addition to the works that...

Common Sense and Nuclear Warfare
ISBN: 9781138146181 / Angielski / Twarda / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Written at the height of the Cold War in 1959, Common Sense and Nuclear Warfare was published in an effort 'to prevent the catastrophe which would result from a large scale H-bomb war'.

Russell s argument, that the only way to end the threat of nuclear war is to end war itself, is as relevant today as it was on first publication."
