In the days following September 11, the most powerful people in the country were panic-stricken. The decisions about how to combat terrorists and strengthen national security were made in a state of utter chaos and fear, but the key players, Vice President Dick Cheney and his powerful, secretive adviser, David Addington, used the crisis to further a long-held agenda to enhance presidential powers to a degree never known in U.S. history.

The Dark Side is a riveting narrative account of how the U.S. made terrible decisions in the pursuit of terrorists, decisions that not only violated the Constitution, but also hampered the pursuit of Al Qaeda.

In gripping detail, acclaimed New Yorker writer and best-selling author Jane Mayer relates specific cases, shown in real time against the larger tableau of Washington, looking at the intelligence gained - or not - and the price paid. In all cases, whatever the short-term gains, there were incalculable losses in terms of moral standing, our country's place in the world, and its sense of itself.

The Dark Side chronicles one of the most disturbing chapters in American history, one that will serve as the lasting legacy of the George W. Bush presidency.

Польша была первой страной, павшей жертвой нацистской агрессии в годы Второй мировой войны. Несмотря на это, ее армия продолжала сражаться на разных фронтах все пять военных лет. К концу войны она была четвертой по численности среди армий союзных держав. Польские солдаты участвовали практически во всех крупнейших кампаниях на европейском театре военных действий. Судьба была жестока к полякам в течение всех этих лет, и особенно жестока к польским солдатам.

Marc Morris - A Great and Terrible King; Edward I and the Forging of Britain (2009).jpg

This is the first major biography for a generation of a truly formidable king – a man born to rule England, who believed that it was his right to rule all of Britain. His reign was one of the most dramatic and important of the entire Middle Ages, leading to war and conquest on an unprecedented scale, and leaving a legacy of division between the peoples of Britain that has lasted from his day to our own.
Edward I is familiar to millions as ‘Longshanks’, conqueror of Scotland and nemesis of Sir William Wallace (‘Braveheart’). Yet this story forms only the final chapter of the king’s astonishingly action-packed life. Earlier Edward had defeated and killed the famous Simon de Montfort in battle; travelled across Europe to the Holy Land on crusade; conquered Wales, extinguishing forever its native rulers, and constructing – at Conwy, Harlech, Beaumaris and Caernarfon – the most magnificent chain of castles ever created. He raised the greatest armies of the English Middle Ages, and summoned the largest parliaments; notoriously, he expelled all the Jews from his kingdom. The longest-lived of all England’s medieval kings, he fathered no fewer than fifteen children with his first wife, Eleanor of Castile, and after her death he erected the Eleanor Crosses – the grandest funeral monuments ever fashioned for an English monarch.
In this book, Marc Morris examines afresh the forces that drove Edward throughout his relentless career: his character, his Christian faith, and his sense of England’s destiny – a sense shaped in particular by the tales of the legendary King Arthur. He also explores the competing reasons that led Edward’s opponents (including Llywelyn ap Gruffudd and Robert Bruce) to resist him, and the very different societies that then existed in Scotland, Wales and Ireland. The result is a sweeping story, immaculately researched yet compellingly told, and a vivid picture of medieval Britain at the moment when its future was decided.

Martin Sixsmith - The Litvinenko File; Politics, P olonium and Russia's war with itself (2007).jpg

Subtitle varies, (which hinders crossreferencing) MacMillan, London: The Litvinenko file : the true story of a death foretold St. Martin's, NY: The Litvinenko file : the life and death of a Russian spy Pan Books, London: The Litvinenko file : politics, polonium and Russia's war with itself Aleksandr Litvinenko died by a most unusual method, possibly unprecedented: alpha radiation from ingested Polonium-210 killed him, in London in 2006. The poison might not have been identified, had special military detectors not been brought into the hospital. A city-wide investigation was then launched. In this book, Martin Sixsmith fingers former KGB agent Andrei Lugovoy as the most likely suspect. Shortly after publication, that theory was officially adopted by the British prosecution (reportedly much to the relief of the original publisher). Back in Russia, Lugovoy became a folk hero, was elected to parliament (the Duma) and thereby enjoys legal immunity. The question of his extradition has become a diplomatic issue. Compared to this murder, relatively little attention has been paid to the allegations which made Litvnenko a target in the first place: that the wave of terrorist apartment bombings which helped bring Putin to power initially, were not the work of Chechnyan rebels, but perpretrated rather by pro-Putin elements within KGB/FSB itself.

David Brock - The Republican Noise Machine; Right- Wing Media and How it Corrupts Democracy (2004).jpeg

The author, once notorious as a conservative attack-journalist trashing the likes of Anita Hill and the Clintons, repudiated his past in the confessional Blinded by the Right. In this blistering j'accuse, Brock mounts a less gossipy and more systematic assault on the right-wing media juggernaut of think tanks, publishers, talk radio shows, Web sites and cable networks. He treats it as a disciplined political movement, inspired by Communist subversion techniques, bankrolled by a handful of right-wing zillionaires through corporate and foundation spigots, tightly yoked to the Republican policy agenda and masterminded by arch-conservative Grover Norquist at weekly strategy meetings. By Brock's account, it constitutes a seamless propaganda machine conveying dubious scholarship, Republican talking points and antiliberal smear campaigns from think tanks and Internet rumor mills to the FOX News and talk radio echo chambers and thence through a network of conservative pundits into the quality press. Meanwhile, Brock charges, the mainstream media, cowed by spurious charges of "liberal bias," have abandoned their role as objective arbiters of truth in favor of an uncritical airing of partisan ideology in the name of "balance." The result, he says, is a public discourse in which the line between fact and opinion is blurred, poorly funded liberal voices get shouted down, "no issue can be honestly debated and no election can be fairly decided." Brock's critique echoes that of other liberal media critics like Eric Alterman and Al Franken, and cannot be accused of nonpartisanship. He is dismissive of the conservative nostrums whose purveyors he pillories, and his biting takedowns of Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly and their ilk show he hasn't lost his taste for blood. But Brock's incisive, well-supported analysis and his street cred as an apostate from the conservative press make this a spirited challenge to the contemporary mediascape.

Ha-Joon Chang - Bad Samaritans; The Myth of Free T rade and the Secret History of Capitalism (2007).jpg

In the 1950s, South Korea was one of the poorest countries in the world, suffering the aftereffects of decades of brutal Japanese colonialism and war with its northern counterpart. During his childhood, Chang (Kicking Away the Ladder), a respected economist at the University of Cambridge, witnessed the beginnings of Korea's postwar economic miracle as Gen. Park Chung-Hee's dictatorship (despite its corrupt machinations) set the economic groundwork that would lift Korea out of poverty. Though Korea's strategies are heretical to first world, free-market economists, Chang argues that the world's wealthiest nations historically relied on the same heavy-handed protectionist approaches in their quests for economic hegemony. These wealthy, first world economies, which preach free market and free trade to the poor countries in order to capture larger shares of the latter's markets and to pre-empt the emergence of possible competitors are Chang's bad Samaritans. Chang builds his outsider stance through a history of capitalism and globalization and stories of other struggling countries' economic transformations. The resulting polemic about the shortcomings of neoliberal economic theory's belief in unlimited free-market competition and its effect on the developing world is provocative and may hold the key to similar miracles for some of the world's most troubled economies.

Marc Headley - Blown for Good; Behind the Iron Cur tain of Scientology (2009).jpg

Nominated by Foreword Magazine as 2009 Book of the Year Award Finalist. Marc Headley provides an insider's view of life as a member of Scientology's "Sea Organization". Marc worked at Scientology's secret desert compound, which houses all Scientology management, for 15 years. The 500 acre property is located deep in the California desert. The local townspeople were told lectures and films were made there. But is that all that was happening? It is the location of a multi-million dollar home for L. Ron Hubbard, built two decades after his death. It is the home of Scientology's current leader, David Miscavige. So what really happens at the Int Base? Are the stories on the internet true? How does Scientology conduct management of its day to day operations? Could stories of armed guards, weapons, staff beatings, and razor wire fences be true? If so, how could a facility like this exist in modern day America? Hundreds of staff tried to escape over the years. Some succeeded but were never seen or heard of again, most failed. Why were people kept here? What really went on at the headquarters of Scientology? This is the story of what happened behind the Iron Curtain of Scientology. "...the Scientology cult, is I guarantee you, a thousand times more bizarre than you could have ever imagined."

Dogrywka (2002) 01.avi

W skromnym mieszkaniu pary emerytów z robotniczego blokowiska w Budapeszcie zjawia się pewnego dnia niecodzienny gość: mężczyzna z amerykańskim paszportem, który chce się widzieć z panem domu. Twierdzi, że w styczniu 1957 r., w okresie masowych aresztowań przeciwników jedynie słusznego ustroju, ten ostrzegł go w nocy o planowanym aresztowaniu. Przez obóz dla uchodźców w Austrii mężczyzna dostał się do USA, tam zdobył zawód inżyniera, założył rodzinę, zrobił karierę. Teraz jednak rozwiedziony, samotny, już właściwie na emeryturze, zapragnął zrealizować swe wieloletnie marzenie o tym, by wrócić do kraju i odwdzięczyć się człowiekowi, który go uratował.
Jego wybawca reaguje jednak agresją na te słowa. Zaprzecza, jakoby kiedykolwiek widział gościa, a tym bardziej mu pomógł. Jest przekonany, że to nasłany przez nową władzę agent, który ma go zdemaskować - jego, byłego milicjanta, który robił, co mu kazano. Głęboko zresztą wierzył w słuszność tych działań. Komunista z przekonania nie ma słów na wyrażenie swej nienawiści do kapitalizmu i kapitalistów, którzy - jego zdaniem - zniszczyli dorobek wielu pokoleń, rozkradają kraj, wysługują się obcym rządom i nieprzyzwoicie bogacą. On nigdy nie robił nic z chęci zysku, był wierny idei i taki pozostał. Z maniackim uporem powtarza, że gość musiał go z kimś pomylić. Ku rozpaczy dorosłej córki, która wpadła do rodziców z krótką wizytą, tylko po to, by wziąć przygotowane przez matkę jedzenie, oświadcza, że nic od niego nie chce: ani pieniędzy, ani ofiarowanego mu samochodu, ani zaproszenia do Ameryki. Nie chce, bo - jak w końcu niemal mimowolnie wyjawia - wstydzi się tego, co zrobił. Nie zdradził wtedy, gdy przywdział milicyjny mundur, ale gdy w chwili słabości zastukał nocą w okno młodego chłopaka. I wciąż nie może sobie tego darować.

Tariq Ali - Iran in the Eye of Storm, Why Gobal Wa r Has Begun (2007).jpg

The Iran crisis has become a synonym for escalation dangerously tending towards confrontation. Tehran therein is accused by the U.S.-led West of developing nuclear weapons. This in fact is an alerting highlight in the tense history of U.S.-Iranian relations since World War Two, as we clearly hear the war bells ring. What lies behind that present Irano-Western conflict has to be seen in a broader historical and political context: Beginning with the 1953 coup d’etat against Iran’s democratically elected Mossadegh government till recent wars in the Iranian periphery, American interventionist foreign policy in the world economy’s most crucial region, the Middle East, proves a great deal of bitter continuity in its push for controlling this part of the world for the sake of global hegemony. The new U.S. preventive war doctrine provides the political legitimacy for such an agenda. The major battlefield of this militaristic agenda of America’s grand strategy seems to be focused on the ‘Greater Middle East.’ Besides having to cope with a considerable security dilemma due to tremendous trembles in her environment, Iran now sees herself targeted as an exclusive member of the ‘Axis of Evil.’ This paper will attempt to clarify the interests at stake for the sole remaining superpower. It will thus argue that the only meaningful way to perceive the present conflict is through considering its politico-strategic background and implications. The Iran crisis is indeed a significant symptom of a unilateral world order on the verge of collapse. To prevent a catastrophic conflagration, an unbiased engagement by the European Union is indispensable in order to decrease the regional security dilemma by ultimately establishing a nuclear-free Near and Middle East zone. Europe should assume responsibility vis-a-vis her neighboring region, for surrendering to New Order fantasies { l’Americaine will heavily harm her own interests.

Asgeir Jonsson, - Why Iceland; How One of the Worl d's Smallest Countries Became the Meltdown's Bigge st Casualty (2009).jpg

Sarmatian - Asgeir Jonsson, - Why Iceland How One of the Worlds Sm...t Countries Became the Meltdowns Biggest Casualty 2009.jpg

As late as the mid 1980s, Iceland’s economy revolved around little else than a semi-robust cod-fishing industry. By the end of the century, however, it had transformed itself into a major player in world finance, building an international banking empire worth twelve times its GDP. The tiny island nation of 300,000 was one of the global economy’s great success stories.

And then everything came crashing down.

Why Iceland? is the inside account of one of the economic meltdown’s most fascinating and far-reaching tragedies. As Chief Economist of Kaupthing Bank, the country’s largest bank before the collapse, Ásgeir Jónsson is perfectly suited to examine Iceland’s collapse in painstaking detail. He witnessed behind-the-scenes events firsthand, such as an intriguing meeting in January 2008 when a group of international hedge fund managers gathered in a bar in Reykjavik to discuss Iceland’s economy—an informal affair that eventually became the center of a criminal investigation by the country’s Financial Supervisory Authority.

This inside account examines the pressing issues behind history’s biggest banking collapse:

* How did Iceland transform itself from one of Europe’s poorest to one of its wealthiest countries?
* What happened to cause the destruction of the nation’s banking industry during a single week of October 2008?
* Was it the result of a speculation “attack” by hedge funds on the nation’s currency?

Iceland remains the biggest casualty of the economic downturn, and the ramifications of its catastrophic failure reach deeply into the economies of Europe, the United States, and other global markets. Ásgeir Jónsson offers a unique perspective and an expert’s insight into the rise and fall of this once-proud banking giant.

Why Iceland? provides the who, what, where, and when of Iceland’s demise, serving as a fascinating read and providing the understanding necessary for forecasting when and where the aftershocks will shake up markets in other parts of the world.

"Fearsome Vikings discovered Iceland. Hedge funds knocked it down. It was a humiliating tumble for the former financial powerhouse, which was proud of its status in Europe. A late bloomer, Iceland had been the last country in Europe to be settled, the Nordic nation rapidly caught up with its wealthier relations. It was all fine until October 2008, when country's banking system collapsed in a week. Written by an Icelandic economist, Why Iceland? chronicles the meltdown, in the context of the nation's history."--New York Post (A "Required Reading" Selection)

George W. Bush - Decision Points (2010).jpg

In this candid and gripping account, President George W. Bush describes the critical decisions that shaped his presidency and personal life. George W. Bush served as president of the United States during eight of the most consequential years in American history. The decisions that reached his desk impacted people around the world and defined the times in which we live. Decision Points brings readers inside the Texas governor's mansion on the night of the 2000 election, aboard Air Force One during the harrowing hours after the attacks of September 11, 2001, into the Situation Room moments before the start of the war in Iraq, and behind the scenes at the White House for many other historic presidential decisions.
For the first time, we learn President Bush's perspective and insights on:
-His decision to quit drinking and the journey that led him to his Christian faith
-The selection of the vice president, secretary of defense, secretary of state, Supreme Court justices, and other key officials
-His relationships with his wife, daughters, and parents, including heartfelt letters between the president and his father on the eve of the Iraq War
-His administration's counterterrorism programs, including the CIA's enhanced interrogations and the Terrorist Surveillance Program
-Why the worst moment of the presidency was hearing accusations that race played a role in the federal government’s response to Hurricane Katrina, and a critical assessment of what he would have done differently during the crisis
-His deep concern that Iraq could turn into a defeat costlier than Vietnam, and how he decided to defy public opinion by ordering the troop surge
-His legislative achievements, including tax cuts and reforming education and Medicare, as well as his setbacks, including Social Security and immigration reform
-The relationships he forged with other world leaders, including an honest assessment of those he did and didn’t trust
-Why the failure to bring Osama bin Laden to justice ranks as his biggest disappointment and why his success in denying the terrorists their fondest wish—attacking America again—is among his proudest achievements
