Congressional Government: A Study in American Politics

The rivetingly tense and timely conclusion to the Arkady Renko series - an iconic character from a titan of the political crime thriller genre. When Arkady Renko is charged with investigating the murder of Alexei Kazasky, the Deputy Minister of Defence, he knows he has to tread carefully. Alexei Kazasky is a high-profile politician and has a complicated relationship with Putin. This investigation clearly has Kremlin approval, but, as with everything in Russia, things are not always what they seem. Already preoccupied with his developing Parkinson's, Arkady finds he has more to worry about. The war in Ukraine is gaining momentum, and his adopted son Zhenya has become involved with the Black Army, a Russo-Ukrainian group of hacktivists. Moreover, as Arkady digs deeper into Kazasky's murder, he realizes that the man's death may have been more politically motivated than he first assumed. Now it seems that the people behind the killing have him firmly in their crosshairs - but this time Arkady's life is not the only one on the line. PRAISE FOR MARTIN CRUZ SMITH: 'Does more on a page than most writers manage in a chapter. He is unique and irreplaceable' MICK HERRON 'Among the first of a new generation of writers who made thrillers literary' GUARDIAN 'One of those writers that anyone who is serious about their craft views with respect bordering on awe' VAL McDERMID¿ 'The undisputed master of the political crime thriller' ABIR MUKHERJEE 'One of the finest writers of our age' CHARLOTTE PHILBY&nbsp;

Gunnar Hering Lectures

Istanbul's population greatly suffered during WWI. Sanitary problems, pauperization, mortality rise deteriorated everyday life. The flows of refugees and military mobilization were major issues. Paradoxically, its Greek orthodox community increased in 1914-1918. After the Mudros Armistice (October 1918), it could hope for the Ottoman Empire's dismemberment and the return of Constantinople to the Greek fold. The events that followed and led to the birth of the Republic of Turkey would put an end to their expectations. The deterioration of everyday material life, the loyalty of Istanbul Greeks to the Ottoman State in wartime, ordinary people's position towards Hellenic irredentism are the main themes explored through the archives of Greek Orthodox parishes of the city and those of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople.

The Fallen Gods Trilogy

Faithbreaker

This book re-examines the origins and development of the laws of war and human rights law and exposes an overlooked provision of the European Convention on Human Rights which permits the use of lethal force where absolutely necessary to quell an insurrection. When civilian casualties occur in internal armed conflicts, questions are asked about how civilians can be better protected against the use of force by armed insurgents and state security forces. The laws of war include protection against the targeting of civilians but permit the use of force based on 'military necessity' and allow 'proportionate' civilian casualties. Where those laws do not apply, the use of force is generally seen as being limited to self-defence. This creates paradigms of armed conflict and law-enforcement with very different rules. The paradigms are then treated by governments and other actors as being separate and divided by a threshold of violence, when, in practice, they overlap, both in the conduct of military operations and, this book argues, as a matter of law. Revisiting the law provides the opportunity to reassess the benefits and risks of the existing paradigms and consider how applying the provision permitting the use of lethal force in quelling an insurrection would affect them. The book concludes that it offers a middle way based on the existing law, but it requires wider recognition and development in order to achieve a more appropriate balance between human rights and collective security.

Was als Sehnsucht nach Freundschaft beginnt, entwickelt sich zu einer Spirale aus Täuschung, Obsession und Schuld. Ein intensiver Psychothriller über die dunklen Seiten der Einsamkeit und die Frage, wie weit ein Mensch gehen kann, um nicht allein zu sein.

Jack Ryan, Jr.

Pre-order the pulse-racing new Jack Ryan, Jr. thriller, TOM CLANCY PRESSURE DEPTH, now! __________ The discovery of an oil field off the coast of Guyana plunges Jack Ryan, Jr. into a cauldron of lies in the latest entry in this internationally bestselling series. It starts with the destruction of a US Coast Guard cutter and the loss of her entire crew. But the USCG Claiborne was on an innocuous mission to open a sea lane between an oil field off the coast of Guyana and the refineries of southern Louisiana. The destruction of the ship, tragic as it is, won't stop that mission from continuing. So who would sacrifice twenty-two men and women just to slow down the plan? That's the question plaguing Jack Ryan Jr. He's in Guyana to work a deal to get his company, Hendley Associates, in on the ground floor of this new discovery, but the destruction of the Claiborne and the kidnapping of the Guyanese Interior Minister make it clear that there's a malignant force working to destroy Guyana's oil industry. It's up to Jack to identify the killers before they draw a bead on him, but how can he do that when the line of demarcation between friend and foe is constantly shifting? __________ Reader reviews for LINE OF DEMARCATION 'This book might be my favorite of the Jack Ryan Jr. series. A complete thriller start to finish with a satisfying ending' 'Another great read in the Clancy legacy. A fun fast paced read that you won't want to put down' 'An action-packed, hardcore Tom-Clancy-worthy geopolitical thriller with great pacing and cinematic depth. M.P Woodward does a terrific job' 'The action is high adrenaline. I flew through this one. Highly recommended for fans of thrillers' 'If you like drug lords, Russians, communism and the good guys battling to take them down, you are going to love this book'

Jack Ryan, Jr. is caught in a deadly web of lies in this thrilling addition to the No.1 bestselling series

Tom Clancy Line of Demarcation

How people have reimagined the story of the ten plagues of Egypt, from antiquity to our own era of relentless catastrophe People have been telling and retelling stories about disasters for as long as they have been telling stories. One of the oldest of such stories is the ten plagues in the book of Exodus, the series of disasters that forced the Egyptians to liberate the Israelites. These plagues packed enough catastrophe to fill a series of summer blockbusters—rivers of blood, invasions of frogs and insects, mass disease, fiery hail, smothering darkness, and a midnight massacre of the firstborn. The story of the ten plagues resonates today, as we try to make sense of such calamities of modern life as pandemics, climate change, and war. In Disasters of Biblical Proportions, Steven Weitzman explores how people of later ages—artists, writers, activists, philosophers, believers and unbelievers alike—have reshaped the story of the ten plagues to give expression to their own trauma, outrage, guilt, humor, and hope. Tracing the interpretation and retelling of each plague across time and space, Weitzman uncovers how this ancient tale found new meaning among Jews, Christians, and Muslims and continues to shape how people today understand the present and envision the future. Even as it recounts the history of how the ten plagues have been reimagined, Disasters of Biblical Proportions is also a history of people’s search for shelter from the calamities of their own times—and of humanity’s striving for justice, freedom, and redemption.
