This book on Bout is basically a case study on what global crime has evolved into today. Drug cartels, traffickers, counterfeiters, terrorists and basically every illicit business uses a organizational structure such as is described in this book.

Customer Review:
I am going to order the udated version - I had this as textbook in Pol. Science years ago - fantastic. It succinctly summarizes and gives a great 'starting point' to understanding major world wars. A must-have on all bookshelves. | 4.0 / 5.0

| 4. | ![]() | Tragedy of Great Power Politics
from W W Norton & Co Inc (Np)
Price: $29.85
Customer Review:
John Mearsheimer's Tragedy of Great Power Politics is a disappointing work and the title itself is somewhat anachronistic. It is easy to indulge in self prophesy and to see the wood (the already verifiable truth that nations understand the language of force) but it is not wise to miss the trees,... more info | 3.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
Lippman is sadly under-appreciated these days, I hadn't even heard his name until the past year, when, while working on my dissertation, I came across this book. Written in lucid, clear prose, yet dealing with incredibly complex theoretical and philosophical issues, Public Opinion argues that not... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I haven't made any of the items described, but it surely seems like they'd work. As the author suggested, walking through hardware stores you'll notice a lot of things that will break up a firearm's propellant shock wave. | 3.0 / 5.0
