Brother Hamid, Asadi s torturer, stopped at nothing to extract his confessions . Asadi was a spy for Russia, for Britain, for anyone or anything. Hamid became an ambassador; Asadi a fugitive, haunted by nightmares and persisting pain. His feet lashed till lame, he was grilled until he could no longer answer a simple question. In these letters,...

How to Win a Cosmic War: God, Globalization, and the End of the War on Terror

By: Aslan, Reza

Price: $7.95

Publisher: Random House: April 2009

Seller ID: 319754

ISBN: 1400066727

Binding: Hardcover

Condition: Used - Very Good

A cosmic war is a religious war. It is a battle not between armies or nations, but between the forces of good and evil, a war in which God is believed to be directly engaged on behalf of one side against the other.
The hijackers who attacked the United States on September 11, 2001, thought they were fighting a cosmic war. According to award-winning writer and scholar of religions Reza Aslan, by infusing the United States War on Terror with the same kind of religiously polarizing rhetoric and Manichean worldview, is also fighting a cosmic war-a war that can't be won.

The Open Society Paradox: Why the Twenty-First Century Calls for More Openness--Not Less

Price: $6.95

Publisher: Potomac Books: November 2004

Seller ID: 264889

ISBN: 1574889168

Binding: Hardcover

Condition: Used - Very Good

How do we ensure security and, at the same time, safeguard civil liberties? The Open Society Paradox challenges the conventional wisdom of those on both sides of the debate--leaders who want unlimited authority and advocates who would sacrifice security for individual privacy protection. It offers a provocative alternative, suggesting that while the very openness of American society has left the United States vulnerable to today's threats, only more of this quality will make the country safer and enhance its citizens' freedom and mobility.Uniquely qualified to address these issues, Denn...

ISBN: 0345383044

Binding: Trade Paperback

Condition: Used - Very Good

Jihad vs. McWorld is a groundbreaking work, an elegant and illuminating analysis of the central conflict of our times: consumerist capitalism versus religious and tribal fundamentalism. These diametrically opposed but strangely intertwined forces are tearing apart--and bringing together--the world as we know it, undermining democracy and the nation-state on which it depends.

On the one hand, consumer capitalism on the global level is rapidly dissolving the social and economic barriers between nations, transforming the world's diverse populations into a blandly uniform market. On the...

Condition: Used - Very Good

In 1987, Allan Bloom s The Closing of the American Mind was published; a wildly popular book that drew attention to the shift in American culture away from the tenants that made America and Americans unique. Bloom focused on a breakdown in the American curriculum, but many sensed that the issue affected more than education. The very essence of what it meant to be an American was disappearing.
That was over twenty years ago. Since then, the United States has experienced unprecedented wealth, more youth enrolling in higher education than ever before, and technology advancements far b...
