Book Description
Adam Hume is a security guard on the overnight shift in San Antonio, Texas. When his coworker is mysteriously murdered, he finds his childhood interest in detective work--as well as his childhood interest in the Christian religion--reignited. He sets out to find the murderer, hopefully with the help of world-famous private investigator Douglas Tent. Adam also enlists the help of the murdered man's pastor, Baptist preacher Moses Lacuna (who doesn't seem to have any clues to the case, but who possesses fascinating arguments in favor of Christianity). Now Adam is on a mission, to solve the mystery of the murdered security guard, as well as the deeper mysteries of life after death, and the existence of God. What truth, what villainy, will he uncover?

Japan's Sea Lane Security
Author: Euan Graham
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134250916
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 360
Book Description
This is the first major English-language study to explore the broad and longstanding connections between Japan’s national security and the safety of its sea lanes. Tracing issues from pre-and post-1945 eras, the book explores how Japan’s concerns with sea lane protection have developed across such diverse fields as military strategy, diplomacy, trade policy, energy security, and law enforcement. Drawing upon case study material and primary research including interviews with officials and security analysts, the book presents a chronological analysis of Japan’s sea lane security. While Japan’s security policies have recently undergone relatively rapid change, a historical treatment of sea lane security issues reveals long-term continuity in security policymakers’ perceptions and responses regarding Japan's defence and foreign policy. Revealing a neglected but important aspect of Japan’s military and economic security, the book investigates why officials and analysts continue to portray the defence of Japan’s sea lanes as ‘a matter of life and death’.

Death Orders
Author: Anna Geifman
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 0275997537
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
This fascinating study shows how terrorism as developed and practiced in Romanov Russia has, over the past century, manifested itself as the template for modern and postmodern terrorism as a universal sociocultural, psychological, and existential experience, irrespective of particular political causes, ethnic distinctions, and ideological boundaries. Arguing that Russia is the birthplace of modern terrorism, Death Orders: The Vanguard of Modern Terrorism in Revolutionary Russia uses the nation as a case study of psycho-historical patterns of worldwide terrorist activity during the past century. Key features of early-20th century Russian political extremism serve as models for terrorist experiences in other periods and regions as author Anna Geifman builds a typology of a universal phenomenon. The book shows how, in Russia and elsewhere, terrorists' objectives have degenerated from punishment of individual adversaries and attempts to intimidate political elites to indiscriminate acts of political violence. It shifts attention from ideology to practices that had been previously hidden, ignored, or rationalized, demonstrating that what terrorists say about their motives may not be what actually drives them to brutality. By looking closely at Russian precedents for the general experience of modern political violence, the book helps illuminate many obscure aspects of terrorism today.
