Six-Gun Caballero
Author: L. Ron Hubbard
Publisher: Galaxy Press LLC
ISBN: 159212299X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 148
Book Description
He's handsome. He's charming. He's a total gentleman ... and he's totally outgunned and outnumbered. He's Michael Patrick Obanon. Obanon's lost his inheritance--a 100,000-acre New Mexico spread--and he could lose his life if he's not careful. A ruthless band of renegades have seized his land, and he's determined to get it back.. Obanon's got one secret weapon: his fierce intelligence. He can't outshoot the outlaws, so he'll have to find a way to outwit them.... Part Irish, part Mexican, Michael Patrick Obanon is as American as they come--crafty, confident, and cool under fire. It may be one man against the world, but before he's done the world will know how the West will be won. Ride a trail of fast guns and quick wit to the western frontier as Six-Gun Caballero brings American history to life. "Hubbard uses the traditional Western form to tell a challenging and unpredictable story, where the hero outwits his attackers instead of merely having to outshoot them. Intelligent and suspenseful." --SomebodyDies.com

Book Description
Gambling, prostitution, drugs, arms trading, oil smuggling, and trafficking in people -- these six illegal businesses are large and getting larger. They distort the economy and victimize people. They are increasingly linked together through networks of protection and organized crime. They help to fund Thailand's corrosive 'money politics' and to sustain corruption in the police. In this sequel to Corruption and Democracy in Thailand, the authors argue that control of the illegal economy, especially through reform of the police, is vital for the development of a modern economy and functioning democracy.

Nasser's Gamble
Author: Jesse Ferris
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691155143
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
Nasser's Gamble draws on declassified documents from six countries and original material in Arabic, German, Hebrew, and Russian to present a new understanding of Egypt's disastrous five-year intervention in Yemen, which Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser later referred to as "my Vietnam." Jesse Ferris argues that Nasser's attempt to export the Egyptian revolution to Yemen played a decisive role in destabilizing Egypt's relations with the Cold War powers, tarnishing its image in the Arab world, ruining its economy, and driving its rulers to instigate the fatal series of missteps that led to war with Israel in 1967. Viewing the Six Day War as an unintended consequence of the Saudi-Egyptian struggle over Yemen, Ferris demonstrates that the most important Cold War conflict in the Middle East was not the clash between Israel and its neighbors. It was the inter-Arab struggle between monarchies and republics over power and legitimacy. Egypt's defeat in the "Arab Cold War" set the stage for the rise of Saudi Arabia and political Islam. Bold and provocative, Nasser's Gamble brings to life a critical phase in the modern history of the Middle East. Its compelling analysis of Egypt's fall from power in the 1960s offers new insights into the decline of Arab nationalism, exposing the deep historical roots of the Arab Spring of 2011.
