In 1947, to support its new global status, it created the CIA to analyse foreign intelligence. But within a few years, the Agency was engaged in other operations: bolstering pro-American governments, overthrowing nationalist leaders, and surveilling anti-imperial dissenters at home. The Cold War was an obvious reason for this transformation - but not the only one. In The CIA, celebrated British intelligence historian Hugh Wilford draws on decades of research to show the Agency as part of a larger picture: the history of Western empire. While young CIA officers imagined themselves as British imperial agents like T. E. Lawrence, successive US presidents used the covert powers of the Agency to hide overseas interventions from postcolonial foreigners and anti-imperial Americans alike.

Dosud nevyprávěný, vášně vzbuzující investigativní příběh o honu na krtka KGB zahrabaného v nejvyšších patrech CIA.*****Za soumraku studené války a po jejím skončení odhalila CIA ve spolupráci s FBI tři prominentní špiony KGB působící v ruských operacích amerických zpravodajských služeb: Roberta Hanssena, Aldricha Amese a Edwarda Lee Howarda. Dlouho se však šířily spekulace o dalším krtkovi, který mohl způsobit mnohem vetší škody.*****Tři nejlepší lovkyně špionů CIA, ženy, které zasvětily svůj život kontrarozvědce, byly pověřeny vyšetřováním, jehož cílem bylo zjistit, zda v řadách CIA neškodí další dvojitý agent. Závěr, k němuž dospěly, by od základu otřásl americkými zpravodajskými službami a měl by devastující důsledky na všechny země, s nimiž Amerika sdílela tajné informace, včetně Velké Británie.*****Jejich šokující odhalení by vysvětlovalo, proč byl Západ slepý vůči jedné z největších politických změn v moderní historii k vzestupu Putina. Čtvrtý neznámý špion měl podle výsledku šetření na svědomí nejen „oslepení“ Spojených států na území Ruska, ale v důsledku také pomohl Putinovi nepozorovaně vzkřísit KGB a převzít moc.*****Tato kniha je napínavým příběhem o vyšetřování jednoho z největších špionážních případů a zabývá se také jednou z nejdůležitějších otázek národní bezpečnosti naší doby.

Continuously available in print since 1969, this novel has become embedded in progressive anti-racist culture with wide circulation of the book and hotly debated film. A literary classic, The Spook Who Sat by the Door is a strong comment on entrenched racial inequities in the United States in the late 1960s.Dan Freeman, ''the spook who sat by the door'', is enlisted in the CIA''s elitist espionage program after a white senator decries the lack of Black officers in the agency. The first Black man in the Central Intelligence Agency, Freeman is given a desk job. Despite excelling, promotions are hard to come by as the token black in the CIA. Deciding he''s had enough, Freeman uses the tactics he learns in the CIA to foment violent rebellion in Chicago, in a mirror image of the coups wrought around the world by the Agency itself.With its focus on the militancy that characterised the Black Power movement of the 1960s and 1970s, this is the story of one man''s reaction to ruling-class hypocrisy in ways that make the novel autobiographical and personal. As a tale of a reaction to the forces of oppression, this brilliant and funny satire by Sam Greenlee proves ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The astonishing story of the ten million books that were smuggled across the Iron Curtain during the Cold WarThe astonishing story of the ten million books that were smuggled across the Iron Curtain during the Cold War.For almost five decades after the Second World War, Europe was divided by the longest and most heavily guarded border on earth. The Iron Curtain, a near-impenetrable barrier of wire and wall, tank traps, minefields, watchtowers and men with dogs, stretched for 4,300 miles from the Arctic to the Black Sea. No physical combat would take place along this frontier: the risk of nuclear annihilation was too high for that.Instead, the conflict would be fought in the psychological sphere. It was a battle for hearts, minds and intellects.No one understood this more clearly than George Minden, the head of a covert intelligence operation known as the 'CIA books programme', which aimed to win the Cold War with literature.From its Manhattan headquarters, Minden's global CIA 'book club' would infiltrate millions of banned titles into the Eastern Bloc, written by a vast and eclectic list of authors, including Hannah Arendt and Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, George Orwell and Agatha Christie.

In 1960, five young men arrived at the imposing gates of Parkminster, the largest center of the most rigorous and ascetic monastic order in the Western world: the Carthusians. This is the story of their five-year journey into a society virtually unchanged in its behavior and lifestyle since its foundation in 1084. An Infinity of Little Hours is a uniquely intimate portrait of the customs and practices of a monastic order almost entirely unknown until now. It is also a drama of the men''s struggle as they avoid the 1960s -- the decade of hedonism, music, fashion, and amorality -- and enter an entirely different era and a spiritual world of their own making. After five years each must face a choice: to make "solemn profession" and never leave Parkminster; or to turn his back on his life''s ambition to find God in solitude. A remarkable investigative work, the book combines first-hand testimony with unique source material to describe the Carthusian life. And in the final chapter, which recounts a reunion forty years after the events described elsewhere in the book, Nancy Klein Maguire reveals which of the five succeeded in their quest, and which did not.

In recent years, heat pumps have emerged as a promising new form of technology with a relatively low environmental impact. Moreover, they have presented householders with an opportunity to reduce their heating bills. Heat pumps can heat a building by 'pumping' heat from either the ground or the air outside: an intriguing process which utilizes principles that are somewhat analogous to those employed in the domestic refrigerator. Armed with the practical information contained in these pages, homeowners will have the necessary knowledge to take advantage of this potentially low-carbon technology to heat their properties. Now in an updated new edition, Heat Pumps for the Home describes what a heat pump is, how it works, the different methods of pumping heat and the importance of an appropriate and well-planned installation. It also provides you with the information that you need in order to make up your own mind about whether a heat pump might be appropriate to your own circumstances, and also demonstrates what you need to do to in order to make the system work efficiently.

How do we carefully consume these cases and what can they teach us about what makes victims and their murderers our collective responsibility?RedHanded rejects the outdated narrative of killers as monsters and that a victim ''was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.''

Toni Maguire''s memoir tells the deeply moving story of an idyllic childhood that masked a terrible truth. Underneath her mother''s gentility and her father''s roguish charm lay horrifying secrets, which eventually led to their only child''s near destruction. The first time her father made an improper advance on Toni, she was six years old. Her father warned her not to tell her mother, or anyone else, because they would blame her and wouldn''t love her any more. It had to remain "our secret." When she finally built up the courage to tell her mother what had happened, she was told never to speak of the matter again. With no one to turn to, isolated and alone in rural Ireland, the abuse continued unhindered. At 14 Toni fell pregnant by her father, and when her state was discovered she was made to have a late abortion which almost killed her. The truth of her childhood could no longer be kept hidden but, just as her father predicted, Toni found herself judged and rejected by her family, teachers, and friends. The blame and anger she was treated with only worsened when her father was sent to prison as a result of his ... Unknown localization key: "more"
