Weapons of Misfortune
Author: Josh Luberisse
Publisher: Fortis Novum Mundum
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 349
Book Description
In the aftermath of more than seven decades of U.S. interventions in the Middle East, the region remains a complex web of proxy wars, fragile alliances, and entrenched conflicts. From the covert operations that toppled Iran’s Mohammad Mosaddegh in 1953, to the ill-fated invasion of Iraq in 2003, and the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021, U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East has been marked by a recurring pattern of short-term victories at the cost of long-term stability. Yet, time and again, the United States has engaged in conflicts driven by a mixture of geopolitical ambitions, strategic miscalculations, and ideological commitments, often leaving the region more unstable than before. From the Cold War’s ideological struggles to the War on Terror's fight against jihadism, Weapons of Misfortune critically examines the global implications of U.S. interventions—how the decisions to arm insurgents, back proxy forces, and topple regimes have inadvertently created power vacuum that birthed insurgencies, extremist movements, hostile regimes and enduring instability. The focus is on how U.S. actions, whether driven by ideological goals, the desire for geopolitical dominance, or securing immediate security interests, have often backfired, empowering adversaries from al-Qaeda to ISIS, and allowing other global players like Russia and China to expand their influence in regions once dominated by the U.S. This book provides a detailed analysis of pivotal events—such as the Iranian Revolution of 1979, the rise of ISIS, the civil war in Yemen and Syria, the fall of Muammar Gaddafi in Libya, and the post-9/11 invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq —to illustrate how the U.S.'s reliance on military force and proxy alliances has frequently undermined its long-term strategic objectives. It also delves into the humanitarian consequences of these interventions, highlighting how U.S.-backed wars have contributed to refugee crises, sectarian violence, and the destabilization of entire regions. Weapons of Misfortune reveal the recurring flaws in U.S. strategy: a tendency to prioritize immediate tactical victories over the nuanced political, social, and economic realities of the countries it seeks to influence. Through a meticulous analysis of the historical context of U.S. actions, this book offers a clear-eyed reflection on the failures of regime change, the pitfalls of arming proxy forces, and the unintended consequences of creating power vacuums that allow insurgent groups like al-Qaeda, ISIS, and the Taliban to thrive. The book’s critical reflection on U.S. interventions offers not only a sober assessment of past mistakes but also lessons for the future. It suggests potential strategies for how the U.S. can re-engage in the Middle East—and other volatile regions—without repeating the same errors. By embracing diplomacy, multilateral cooperation, and a deeper understanding of local dynamics, the book argues that the U.S. can move away from its over-reliance on military solutions and instead promote stability, good governance, and sustainable development in a region that remains pivotal to global security. Weapons of Misfortune is a must-read for policymakers, scholars, and anyone interested in understanding the long-term implications of U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East. The book does not shy away from confronting uncomfortable truths, but rather aims to equip readers with the insights needed to craft a more thoughtful, sustainable, and effective path forward. As the U.S. faces a shifting global order, marked by the rise of China, Russia, and other regional powers, Weapons of Misfortune serves as a timely reminder that the choices made in distant capitals have real and lasting consequences on the ground. By reflecting on the lessons of the past, this book offers a roadmap for a more nuanced, responsible, and contextually informed approach to U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East and beyond.

Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 711
Book Description
This groundbreaking book delivers the definitive exploration of assassination as a tool of power, control, and statecraft. The Killing Doctrine goes beyond a historical recounting of targeted killings to offer a profound analysis of the human, political, and societal impacts of assassination across centuries. A must-read for historians, political analysts, intelligence professionals, and those interested in international relations, this work unravels the mechanics, ethics, and consequences of state-sanctioned killing in meticulous detail. Drawing from a comprehensive range of case studies—from medieval Hashshashin operations to modern drone strikes—the book examines how assassination shapes political systems, suppresses dissent, protects economic interests, and influences international stability. Readers are guided through key moments in history, such as the assassinations of Patrice Lumumba, Salvador Allende, and targeted operations during the War on Terror, highlighting how these actions perpetuate cycles of violence, destabilization, and moral ambiguity. With an interdisciplinary approach spanning history, political science, intelligence studies, and ethics, The Killing Doctrine provides: In-Depth Case Studies: Analysis of high-profile assassinations and covert operations led by the CIA, Mossad, KGB, SDECE, and more. Tactical and Strategic Insights: A detailed look at the methods and motivations behind state-sponsored killings.

Book Description
This groundbreaking book delivers the definitive exploration of assassination as a tool of power, control, and statecraft. The Killing Doctrine goes beyond a historical recounting of targeted killings to offer a profound analysis of the human, political, and societal impacts of assassination across centuries. A must-read for historians, political analysts, intelligence professionals, and those interested in international relations, this work unravels the mechanics, ethics, and consequences of state-sanctioned killing in meticulous detail. Drawing from a comprehensive range of case studies—from medieval Hashshashin operations to modern drone strikes—the book examines how assassination shapes political systems, suppresses dissent, protects economic interests, and influences international stability. Readers are guided through key moments in history, such as the assassinations of Patrice Lumumba, Salvador Allende, and targeted operations during the War on Terror, highlighting how these actions perpetuate cycles of violence, destabilization, and moral ambiguity. With an interdisciplinary approach spanning history, political science, intelligence studies, and ethics, The Killing Doctrine provides: In-Depth Case Studies: Analysis of high-profile assassinations and covert operations led by the CIA, Mossad, KGB, SDECE, and more. Tactical and Strategic Insights: A detailed look at the methods and motivations behind state-sponsored killings.

Pages : 570
Book Description
Fear Factor: Weaponizing Panic in Asymmetric Conflicts is a comprehensive, analytical guide to understanding and leveraging the strategic power of panic in modern warfare. Written with the precision of a military field manual and the rigor of a psychological operations textbook, this book dissects how irregular forces—guerrillas, insurgents, and terrorists—use fear as a weapon to destabilize superior adversaries. Through case studies, scientific models, and proven tactics, this book provides a detailed roadmap for inducing, sustaining, and exploiting panic on the battlefield and in civilian populations. This is not theoretical. This is a practical manual on how fear can be weaponized to cripple operational efficiency, disrupt command structures, and demoralize entire societies. Key features of this book include: A thorough analysis of panic as a psychological weapon in both historical and contemporary conflicts. Tactical methods for identifying vulnerabilities, launching fear-based attacks, and sustaining panic in military and civilian targets. Case studies from the Vietnam War, the Soviet-Afghan conflict, and modern insurgencies, demonstrating the real-world application of these tactics. Step-by-step breakdowns of disinformation campaigns, cyber warfare, and psychological operations designed to create chaos and disarray in the enemy’s ranks. Insights into how modern technologies—AI, cyberattacks, and autonomous systems—are transforming the battlefield by amplifying the psychological impact of panic. Strategies for turning individual fear into widespread organizational collapse. With a unique focus on the psychological dimension of asymmetric warfare, Fear Factor offers commanders, intelligence analysts, and strategic planners an in-depth look at how to effectively integrate psychological operations into broader military campaigns. Drawing from cutting-edge research on cognitive load theory, stress-response models, and collective behavior, this book provides the scientific and operational rigor needed to turn panic into a force multiplier. Fear Factor is not just an exploration of panic—it is a field-tested guide to using fear as a strategic tool to outmaneuver, disorient, and defeat larger, conventional forces. It is an essential resource for anyone engaged in the planning and execution of modern warfare.

Book Description
This groundbreaking work provides an unprecedented, in-depth examination of the global arms trade as a sophisticated business enterprise, uncovering the logistical, financial, and strategic mechanisms that underpin one of the world’s most resilient industries. Moving beyond traditional narratives that cast arms dealing in purely moral or political terms, The Merchants of Death repositions the arms trade industry as a complex economic ecosystem defined by adaptability, alliances, and logistical prowess. Through meticulously researched case studies and incisive analysis, this work reveals how arms dealers navigate an intricate web of regulations, circumvent embargoes, and leverage state and non-state alliances to expand their influence across volatile regions. Positioned to become a seminal work on the subject, The Merchants of Death bridges international relations, business strategy, and security studies as it presents the arms trade not merely as a shadow economy but as an industry with a sophisticated structure and resilience that rivals global corporations. Scholars, policymakers, security analysts, and business professionals alike will find the book’s insights invaluable, challenging traditional frameworks and introducing a powerful new perspective on how illicit markets thrive within legal boundaries. The Merchants of Death’s revelations hold the potential to reshape policymaking and regulatory approaches by equipping policymakers with a nuanced understanding of why traditional controls often fail. For academics, it opens fresh avenues for research, encouraging cross-industry comparisons and new inquiries into how high-risk, high-stakes markets operate within the global economy. Professionals in logistics, finance, and international business will find its lessons on adaptability and network resilience equally compelling, with applications that extend beyond the arms trade. By reframing the arms trade as a complex business ecosystem, The Merchants of Death offers lasting value across multiple fields of study and sectors, establishing itself as an essential reference for understanding the intersection of commerce, strategy, and global security. It is a definitive resource that demystifies the world of arms dealing, revealing the structural realities that sustain it and prompting readers to rethink their understanding of one of the most enduring, controversial industries of our time.
