HarperCollins Publishers Inc The Lion and the Fox
Book SynopsisTrade Review“The complex Confederate conspiracy to fabricate a navy in secret, and the equally energetic Union efforts to stymie it, form the backdrop for Alexander Rose’s entertaining and deeply researched account of the espionage battle that took place among the Liverpool docks, with a rich cast of spies, crooks, bent businessmen and drunken sailors…Rose relates the tale with gusto.” — New York Times “With the contest of wits and bribes between Confederate special agent James Bulloch and American consul Thomas Dudley, Alexander Rose has proven that true history is indeed stranger than fiction. This account of Confederate machinations in Liverpool to get Rebel warships built in British shipyards is peopled by a colorful array of special agents, detectives, spies, dockyard toughs, and a Southern mole in the British Foreign Office.” — James M. McPherson, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of War on the Waters: The Union and Confederate Navies, 1861–1865 “Intrigue lovers and Civil War buffs are in for a treat! The Lion and the Fox guides its readers through the shadow war between Confederate and Union agents in England—one trying to procure ships for the Rebel Navy, the other determined to thwart his rival. It is a little-known corner of history but one that is a pleasure to explore in this author’s skilled hands.” — Nicholas Reynolds, New York Times bestselling author of Writer, Sailor, Soldier, Spy: Ernest Hemingway’s Secret Adventures, 1935–1961 “Historian Rose delivers an entertaining chronicle of the battle of wits between a Confederate spy and a Union agent in England during the early years of the Civil War. . . . Rose’s indelible character sketches and firm grasp of the industrial and political milieu of 19th-century Britain enrich the contest of wills between Bulloch and Dudley. This spy-versus-spy tale delights.” — Publishers Weekly “A very interesting and informative story that follows the machination, maneuverings, and politics that influenced what went on behind the scenes…For those wishing to be engaged and even better informed on this Civil War maritime give-and-take, look no further than this well-written and researched volume.” — New York Journal of Books “Historian Rose (Washington’s Spies: The Story of America’s First Spy Ring) masterfully delivers an exciting tale of plots and schemes among the shipyards, docks, and government offices of Liverpool and London.” — Library Journal

HarperCollins Publishers Inc The Secret Life of John Le Carre
Book SynopsisThe extraordinary secret life of a great novelist, which his biographer could not publish while le Carré was alive. Secrecy came naturally to John le Carré, and there were some secrets that he fought fiercely to keep. Adam Sisman''s definitive biography, published in 2015, provided a revealing portrait of this fascinating man; yet some aspects of his subject remained hidden.Nowhere was this more so than in his private life. Apparently content in his marriage, the novelist conducted a string of love affairs over five decades. To these relationships he brought much of the tradecraft that he had learned as a spy - cover stories, cut-outs and dead letter boxes. These clandestine operations brought an element of danger to his life, but they also meant deceiving those closest to him. Small wonder that betrayal became a running theme in his work.In trying to manage his biography, the novelist engaged in a succession of skirmishes wi

Oxford University Press Inc Monsters to Destroy Understanding the War on
Book SynopsisTerrorism kills far fewer Americans annually than automobile accidents, firearms, or even lightning strikes. Given this minimal risk, why does the U.S. continue expending lives and treasure to fight the global war on terror? In Monsters to Destroy, Navin A. Bapat argues that the war on terror provides the U.S. a cover for its efforts to expand and preserve American control over global energy markets. To gain dominance over these markets, the U.S. offered protection to states critical in the extraction, sale, and transportation of energy from their terrorist internal and external enemies. However, since the U.S. was willing to protect these states in perpetuity, the leaders of these regimes had no incentive to disarm their terrorists. This inaction allowed terrorists to transition into more powerful and virulent insurgencies, leading the protected states to chart their own courses and ultimately break with U.S. foreign policy objectives. Bapat provides a sweeping look at show how the loss of influence over these states has accelerated the decline of U.S. economic and military power, locking it into a permanent war for its own economic security.Table of ContentsAcknowledgements Chapter 1.

Oxford University Press China and Cybersecurity Espionage Strategy and Politics in the Digital Domain
Book SynopsisA comprehensive analysis of China's cyberspace threats and policies, emphasizing the vantage points of China and U.S. on cyber exploitation and the possibilities for more positive coordination.Trade Review"Given the high stakes and enormous gaps between Chinese and American understandings and agendas on cybersecurity, and with the above two chapters as examples, Lindsay and Reveron are certainly justified in concluding that the book "exemplifies" cooperation to improve understanding. It will be worthwhile reading not only for China scholars and cyber-security experts, but also for international relations and communications scholars." --Pacific Affairs "This book's contributors argue that China is not the electronic supervillain it is often thought to be. Despite the regime's hefty investment in digital espionage and cyberwar capabilities, its networks are less secure than those in the United States, the Chinese agencies that make cybersecurity policy are more fragmented than their U.S. counterparts, and the country suffers losses worth close to $1 billion a year because of weak policing of online theft and fraud. China conducts a great deal of industrial espionage, but its enterprises have a hard time filtering and applying the vast amount of data their hackers steal. Looking only at the Chinese side of the relationship, the book does not detail the digital threats that the United States poses to China. But Chinese thinkers believe they are significant, and given China's strategic doctrine of striking first and massively, this creates the risk that in a crisis, Beijing might launch a preemptive cyberattack. The fact that Chinese and Western experts cooperated in this pathbreaking book shows that there is a potential for working together. But there are many obstacles, including the inherent secrecy of the field." -- Foreign Affairs "The US-China relationship is probably the most important in determining the future of cyberspace. Yet despite all the media reporting about Chinese hacking and cyber espionage, we lack a comprehensive picture of what it is China hopes to accomplish in cyberspace and how it copes with its own vulnerability. This is an extremely useful study not only because it brings international relations, intelligence, military, computer science, and China experts together, but also is one of the rare works that includes the contributions of Chinese academics, analysts, and practioners. This book should be read by all who want a greater understanding of China's cybersecurity situation." -- Adam Segal, Maurice R.

Oxford University Press Inc Defending Frenemies Alliances Politics and
Book SynopsisThe United States maintains defense ties with as many as 60 countries, which not only enables its armed forces to maintain command globally and to project its force widely, but also enables its government to exert leverage over allies'' foreign policies and military strategies. In Defending Frenemies, Jeffrey W. Taliaferro presents a historical and comparative analysis of how successive US presidential administrations have employed inducements and coercive diplomacy toward Israel, Pakistan, South Korea, and Taiwan over nuclear proliferation. Taliaferro shows that the ultimate goals in each administration, from John F. Kennedy to George H. W. Bush, have been to contain the Soviet Union''s influence in the Middle East and South Asia and to enlist China as an ally of convenience against the Soviets in East Asia. Policymakers'' inclinations to pursue either accommodative strategies or coercive nonproliferation strategies toward allies have therefore been directly linked to these primary objectives. Defending Frenemies is sharp examination of how regional power dynamics and US domestic politics have shaped the nonproliferation strategies the US has pursued toward vulnerable and often obstreperous allies.Trade ReviewThe great strength of this book lies in the well-written and well-sourced narratives detailing relations between each frenemy state and the US. Taliaferro places these narratives in the context of four theoretical frameworks, concluding that neoclassical realism offers the most compelling explanation of US behavior. * T.C.

Oxford University Press Inc SemiState Actors in Cybersecurity
Book SynopsisThe universe of actors involved in international cybersecurity includes both state actors and semi- and non-state actors, including technology companies, state-sponsored hackers, and cybercriminals. Among these are semi-state actors--actors in a close relationship with one state who sometimes advance this state''s interests, but are not organizationally integrated into state functions. In Semi-State Actors in Cybersecurity, Florian J. Egloff argues that political relations in cyberspace fundamentally involve concurrent collaboration and competition between states and semi-state actors. To understand the complex interplay of cooperation and competition and the power relations that exist between these actors in international relations, Egloff looks to a historical analogy: that of mercantile companies, privateers, and pirates.Pirates, privateers, and mercantile companies were integral to maritime security between the 16th and 19th centuries. In fact, privateers and mercantile companies, Trade ReviewIt is well known that digital technologies are radically transforming the landscape of world politics, but theorists of international relations have struggled to catch up. In this wide-ranging and sophisticated study, Egloff digs deep into the newly emerging terrain of mercenary spyware companies, hackers-for-hire, and other 'semi-state' actors to examine the changing nature of sovereignty, state power, and cyber security. With thought-provoking historical analogies and carefully detailed case studies, Semi-State Actors in Cybersecurity is essential reading. * Ron Deibert, Director of the Citizen Lab, University of Toronto's Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy *At last an analysis of cyberspace that moves beyond 20th century analogues. Egloff's thorough and insightful recovery of 16th, 17th, and 19th century piracy and privateering dynamics is a truly pioneering study in capturing what continually escapes most of the current thinking on cyberspace and the myriad of actors empowered by it. By reading cyberspace through these eras, Egloff not only gives agency to non-state actors, he brings greater sophistication to contemporary debates over information-sharing and public private partnerships in cybersecurity. It is a fresh and welcome addition to the scholarship in the field. * Nina A. Kollars, Associate Professor, Cyber and Innovation Policy Institute, Naval War College *Cybersecurity is full of swashbucklers and scallywags, but the piracy analogy has not been fully drawn on until now. In this important contribution to the international relations literature on cybersecurity, Florian Egloff compares the twenty-first century to the golden age of sail to explain why, when, and how governments partner with contractors, criminals, and vigilantes. With its rich bounty of empirical detail, this book will reward hackers, hornswogglers, and landlubbers alike. * Jon R. Lindsay, author of Information Technology and Military Power *Privateers at sea were once a common practice. Should private companies and groups today be allowed to 'hack-back' against cyber criminals and governments? Egloff's pathbreaking work makes good use of history and security studies to explore some of the most pressing problems we face in cybersecurity. * Joseph S. Nye, author of Do Morals Matter?

Book SynopsisThe ethics of changemaking and peacebuilding may appear straightforward: advance dignity, promote well-being, minimize suffering. Sounds simple, right? Actually acting ethically when it really matters is rarely straightforward. If someone engaged in change-oriented work sets out to do good, how should we prioritize and evaluate whose good counts? And, how ought we act once we have decided whose good counts? Practitioners frequently confront dilemmas where dire situations may demand some form of response, but each of the options may have undesirable consequences of one form or another. Dilemmas are not merely ordinary problems, they are wicked problems: that is to say, they are defined by circumstances that only allow for suboptimal outcomes and are based on profound and sometimes troubling trade-offs.Wicked Problems argues that the field of peacebuilding and conflict transformation needs a stronger and more practical sense of its ethical obligations. For example, it argues against posiTrade ReviewUnderexplored are the ethics of such approaches and whose interests are served by their successes. This edited collection of 17 short essays, along with an introduction, begins filling this lacuna. Readers will encounter a highly diverse set of chapters covering subject matter that touches on American Black nationalism, LGBTQ+ issues, human trafficking, sanctions, transitional justice, and more...The book is best used for individual chapters for scholarly and teaching purposes. * Choice *This comprehensive survey of the wicked ethical problems created by struggles for peace, rights, and justice is elegant and fast-paced. It weaves together different perspectives, contexts, and dilemmas to provide readers with a vivid, diverse, and sometimes provocative set of insights. This collection will surely become the go-to text for all those wanting to better understand the moral complexities of movements for peace and justice. * Alex J. Bellamy, The University of Queensland, Australia *Wicked Problems is refreshing, forward looking, and engaging. It pushes the peace and conflict studies field into new directions and frames many of its most difficult challenges around the ethical implications for the various areas of this vast field of practice. * Pamina Firchow, Associate Professor of Coexistence and Conflict, Brandeis University, and author of Reclaiming Everyday Peace: Local Voices in Measurement and Evaluation After War *Peace, rights, and justice advocacy has a wicked problem: an aspiration for the good that demands change and therefore entails conflict small, large, and sometimes even violent. Bringing together a diverse group of scholars and practitioners who have thought deeply about and grappled with such ethical dilemmas, this volume offers important insights, lessons learned, and possible paths forward. As such, Wicked Problems is a must-read for anyone involved in normative fields like peace studies, transitional justice, human rights, atrocity prevention, and social justice. * Alex Hinton, Rutgers University, and author of It Can Happen Here: White Power and the Rising Threat of Genocide in the US *A really valuable volume full of real-world dilemmas, rich personal experience, and practical advice from a wide range of activists. Wicked Problems is a major addition to the reading list of students studying human rights activism, social movements, political resistance, conflict transformation, and the struggle for peace. * Hugo Slim, Senior Research Fellow, Las Casas Institute for Social Justice at Blackfriars Hall, University of Oxford *Although other books examine ethics in changemaking, this one stands out in the diversity of the contributors' backgrounds, experiences, and assumptions about changemaking... [It collects] a stunning array of authors write short, punchy chapters that offer a visceral kick in the gut by describing the trade-offs and tensions involved in addressing these problems outside the realm of normative academic posturing. * Perspectives on Politics *Table of ContentsAcknowledgments Contributors Introduction: Wicked Problems - The Ethics of Action for Peace, Rights, and Justice Austin Choi-Fitzpatrick, Douglas Irvin-Erickson, and Ernesto Verdeja I: VIOLENCE 1.

Oxford University Press Inc Wreckonomics
Book SynopsisThe United States'' ignominious exit from Afghanistan in 2021 topped two decades of failure and devastation wrought by the war on terror. A long-running fight against migration has stoked chaos and rights abuses while pushing migrants onto more dangerous routes. For its part, the war on drugs has failed to dampen narcotics demand while fueling atrocities from Mexico to the Philippines. Why do such failing policies persist for so long? And why do politicians keep feeding the very crises they say they are combating?In Wreckonomics, Ruben Andersson and David Keen analyze why disastrous policies live on even when it has become apparent that they do not work. The perverse outcomes of the fights against terror, migration, and drugs are more than a blip or an anomaly. Rather, the proliferation of wars and pseudo-wars has become a dangerous political habit and an endless source of political advantage and profit. From combating crime to the war on drugs, from civil wars to global wars and even covid wars, chronic failure has been harnessed to the appearance of success. Over a wide variety of spheres, problems have persisted and worsened not so much despite the wars and fights waged against them as thanks to these floundering endeavors.Covering a range of cases around the world, Wreckonomics exposes and interrogates the incentive systems that allow destructive policies to flourish in the face of systemic failurewhile offering strategies for tackling our addiction to waging war on everything.Trade ReviewSomething's terribly wrong with our public policy. Tasked with managing migration, countering terrorism, and protecting us from pandemic disease, among other things, our institutions seem to thrive amid the wreckage. Ruben Andersson and David Keen explain why. Lively and cogent, Wreckonomics provides us with the lens and the language to make sense of how failure can be success, over and over again. * Alex de Waal, Executive Director, World Peace Foundation *To understand the perverse logic of why failing policies are nevertheless politically successful-ranging from the war on drugs to the war on terror-I cannot think of a better introduction than Wreckonomics. In this highly accessible and engaging book, Andersson and Keen provide a damning dissection of our extraordinarily costly and counterproductive addiction to militarized interventions. As we've reached the 20th anniversary of the 2003 invasion of Iraq and continue to live with its disastrous consequences-with the perpetrators not only not held accountable but highly rewarded-the book could not be a more timely and important contribution. * Peter Andreas, Brown University *Elegantly written, thought-provoking and persuasively argued. Andersson and Keen offer a powerful and incisive critique of the conventional narratives that have tended to dominate debate about the motives, dynamics, and effects of contemporary "wars and security interventions", forcing the reader to discard lazy assumptions and drawing their attention instead to mechanisms and logics that have served to perpetuate rather than meaningfully address many of the most urgent challenges facing humanity. * Mats Berdal, King's College London *Applying a sophisticated systems approach to issues spanning the globe, Wreckonomics makes major contributions to international relations and policy analysis. * Clifford Bob, author of Rights as Weapons, The Global Right Wing, and The Marketing of Rebellion *Based on outstanding original research, thought provoking in its conclusions and challenging in every chapter. * Harry Verhoeven, School of International and Public Affairs, Columbia University and author of Why Comrades Go To War: Liberation Politics and The Outbreak of Africa's Deadliest Conflict *[A] deeply-researched and wide-ranging account of how, despite manifest failings, the wars on terror, drugs and migration are entrenched in Western policy as a kind of perma-crisis for which its principal architects are never held responsible. * Samuel Rutter, The Telegraph *Provocative and thought-provoking ... the authors make their important case made with verve and style. * Paschal Donohoe, Irish Times *A remarkable new book [that] paints a searing portrait of our era of sham politics and fake wars... couldn't be more timely as the world stumbles into 2024. * Richard Lofthouse, QUAD *Wreckonomics is not only an extensively researched argument against the war on everything; at its heart, it is a manifesto against simplicity ... it truly is a challenging read in the best sense of the word: we could all to with thinking more deeply about how to move beyond the war on everything. * Irish Independent *Table of Contents1.Crime Scene Investigation 2.Wreckonomics 101: How Failure Became the New Success 3.Cold War Games: When War Is a Self-Licking Ice-Cream Cone 4.A Life of Its Own: The "War on Terror" as Frankenstein's Monster 5.Double Games: Fear and Fraud in the Fight against Migration 6.Warriors on Drugs: How States Got Hooked on Narcotics and Crime 7.The Hall of Mirrors: The Distortion of Disastrous Interventions 8.Wreckonomics Goes Viral?

Oxford University Press Inc Internal Security in India Violence Order and the
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewIndia's internal security is a subject of such immediate political and social relevance that it is not often the subject of rigorous academic study. That gap has been filled by this volume edited by Amit Ahuja and Devesh Kapur, two scholars with outstanding credentials, covering the institutional, doctrinal, organizational, and other aspects of this contentious subject. The volume thus takes an integrated view of India's internal security. Its strength lies in its reliance on data, the coherence of its arguments, and the reliance on academic disciplines honed in other contexts. All in all, a significant book on an important subject that will become ever more relevant as the pace of change in India accelerates in years to come. * Shivshankar Menon, Former National Security Advisor and Foreign Secretary, Government of India *The carefully researched essays in this book document the decline in many measures of internal violence in India but also disturbing changes in the use of force by the state. It should be read by any person interested in India today. * Stephen Peter Rosen, Harvard College Professor and Beton Michael Kaneb Professor of National Security and Military Affairs, Harvard University *This is an extraordinarily good volume, bringing together experts on all aspects of India's internal security: from its expanding private security businesses, to its overstretched police forces, to the complex structures through which India's political, military, and intelligence leaders respond to internal security challenges. This volume goes far beyond description, to analyze the larger strategies behind these responses, and the ways in which India's internal security state affects Indian democracy, federalism, and the rights of all its citizens.

Book SynopsisThe most detailed and comprehensive examination to show how tiny Israel grew to be a global civil and military cyber power and offer the first detailed proposal for an Israeli National Cyber Strategy.Israel is the subject of numerous cyber attacks from foreign adversaries. As a consequence, it has built an extremely sophisticated cyber security system. Indeed, Israel is now regarded as one of the top cyber powers in the world. In Israel and the Cyber Threat, Charles D. (Chuck) Freilich, Matthew S. Cohen, and Gabi Siboni provide a detailed and comprehensive study of Israel''s cyber strategy, tracing it from its origins to the present. They analyze Israel''s highly advanced civil and military cyber capabilities and organizational structures to offer insights into what other countries can learn from Israel''s experience. To achieve this, they explore how and why Israel has been able to build a remarkable cyber ecosystem and turn itself, despite its small size, into a global cyber power. TTrade ReviewCyber has become the equivalent of a silent nuclear weapon, the ultimate weapon that can simply take countries apart. Israel has a remarkable story to tell in the cyber realm, civil and military, and this ground-breaking study tells it better than any other. A must read for anyone interested in cyber and Israel. * Tamir Pardo, former Head of Mossad *Cyber has become one of the top threats facing Israel today and it has built a remarkable civil cyber ecosystem and strong military capabilities in response. This book is the most comprehensive, exhaustive and up-to-date analysis of the issue, with critically important conclusions and recommendations for policy. Highly recommended. * Gadi Eisenkot, former Chief of Staff, Israel Defense forces *This book is the result of detailed research about Israel's cyber arena, from its early steps to its current global lead, a story about people, strategies and politics. As one who led part of this story, wrote about it and supported this research effort, it is essential reading for scholars. * Eviatar Matania, founding head of Israel National Cyber Directorate and co-author of Cybermania *This is a startling, comprehensive, and deeply researched look at one of the top cybersecurity programs in the world. Israel is easily among the top five countries in terms of capability and depth of research, and this volume is a gold standard of accuracy and judgement. * Admiral James Stavridis, 16th Supreme Allied Commander at NATO and author of 2034: A Novel of the Next World War *This book is a pioneering contribution to the nascent field of comparative cyber studies.
