Week the World Stood Still Stanford University Press

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

The Cuban missile crisis was the most dangerous confrontation of the Cold War and the most perilous moment in American history. In this dramatic narrative written especially for students and general readers, Sheldon M. Stern, longtime historian at the John R Kennedy Library, enables the reader to follow the often harrowing twists and turns of the crisis. Based on the author's authoritative transcriptions of the secretly recorded ExComm meetings, the book conveys the emotional ambiance of the meetings by capturing striking moments of tension and anger as well as occasional humorous intervals. Unlike today's readers, the participants did not have the luxury of knowing how this potentially catastrophic showdown would turn out, and their uncertainty often gives their discussions the nerveracking quality of a fictional thriller. As President Kennedy told his advisers, "What we are doing is throwing down a card on the table in a game which we don't know the ending of." Stern documents that JFK and his administration bore a substantial share of the responsibility for the crisis.Covert operations in Cuba, including efforts to kill Fidel Castro, had convinced Nikita Khrushchev that only the deployment of nuclear weapons could protect Cuba from imminent attack. However, President Kennedy, a seasoned Cold Warrior in Public, was deeply suspicious of military solutions to political problems and appalled by the prospect of nuclear war. He consistently steered policy makers away from an apocalyptic nuclear conflict, measuring each move and counter-move with an eye to averting what he called, with stark eloquence, "the final failure."

'Of course I'm a f**king hooligan, you pr**k. I am a hooligan ...there I've said it...I'm a hooligan. And, do you know why? Because that's my f**king job.' In 1995, a film called I.D., about an ambitious young copper who was sent undercover to track down the 'generals' of a football hooligan gang, achieved cult status for its sheer brutality and unsettling insight into the dark and often bloody side of the so-called beautiful game. The film was so shocking it was hard to believe the mindless events that took place could ever happen in the real world. Well, believe it now...Almost twenty years on, the man behind the film has explosively revealed that the script was largely a true story. That man, James Bannon, was the ambitious undercover cop. The football club was Millwall F.C. and the gang that he infiltrated was The Bushwackers, among the most brutal and fearless in English football. In Running with the Firm, Bannon shares his intense and dangerous journey into the underworld of football hooliganism where sickening levels of violence prevail over anything else.He introduces you to the hardest thugs from football's most notorious gangs, tells all about the secret and almost comical police operations that were meant to bring them down, and, how once you're on the inside, getting out from the mob proves to be the biggest mission of all. A disturbing but compelling read, this is the book that proves fact really is stranger than fiction.

Mayhem in the Morra by Marc Esserman (miękka okładka)

Szachy > Debiuty

Wersja językowa książki - angielska. Miękka okładka.   Mayhem in the Morra  offers a complete fighting repertoire for White against the Sicilian with 1.e4 c5 2.d4 cxd4 3.c3. The Morra Gambit is a popular weapon at club level, but can it be effective at GM level? Marc Esserman believes so and he has 2700-rated scalps to back up his view.Esserman is the world's leading expert on the Morra Gambit and he shares all his secrets and many novelties in a lively witty style. The Morra leads to exciting gambit play, so some players decline the offer with 3...Nf6 - Esserman also shows how White can attack this cautious defence.Don't be afraid of the Sicilian - unleash Mayhem in the Morra!#8226; A complete anti-Sicilian repertoire  #8226; Ideal for attacking players #8226; Hundreds of novelties and improvements Marc Esserman  is an IM from the USA who has played and analysed the Morra Gambit for most of his life.Published 13 July 2012 - 360 pages - ISBN 978-1-907982-20-0 Foreword by GM Larry Christiansen: "In 2011, when preparing for the US Championship, I decided to employ the Morra Gambit as a surprise weapon if given the chance. Marc supplied me with a vast amount of analysis and novelties for that tournament and I became convinced that the gambit was not only dangerous, but perfectly sound. There is no greater authority in the world on this line than Marc Esserman and he lays it all out there in this book."Reviews"A quick glance at the cover and you just know that Mayhem in the Morra is going to be lots of fun. And it proves to be so... The imaginative Marc Esserman actually has a real talent for writing." GM Glenn Flear , New in Chess"Rarely has one person had so much influence on reviving a variation long thought to be dead. Esserman has advocated the Smith-Morra for many years as a player and now he does so as a writer and theoretician...Mayhem in the Morra is useful not only for the many new ideas and theoretical novelties it offers but also for the strategic explanations. Easerman believes the Morra is not just about cheap tricks but has a deep positional underpinning. He does an excellent job of explaining the intricacies of this opening that goes well beyond just presenting the state of theory as he sees it." IM John Donaldson "While the Morra doesn't refute the Sicilian, as the cover of the book cheekily suggests, it will definitely make Black's life difficult; especially if he doesn't enjoy defending complicated and passive positions. I love everything about the present book: the passion, the enthusiasm, the original input, the writing, and the many entertaining games and variations. It is a true labor of love and I heartily recommend it to anyone who wants to sharpen their game against the Sicilian or perhaps just have a truly fascinating alternative to the mountain of theory in the conventional main lines of the Sicilian Defense." Carsten Hansen , ChessCafe (full review)"Mayhem in the Morra! is one of the best and funniest opening books I#8217;ve ever read, and there#8217;s hardly anything to criticize. Even his sometimes revengeful-sounding style is usually compensated by realistic goals, such as when he acknowledges the strength of the 'Improved Siberian' move order for Black (1.e4 c5 2.d4 cxd4 3.c3 dxc3 4.Nxc3 e6 5.Nf3 Nc6 6.Bc4 Nf6!), commenting that in this line 'the battle rages fierce' still.Esserman#8217;s book is an outstanding example of out-of-the-box thinking, profound enthusiasm for a subject and a lot of hard, hard work. It#8217;s hilarious as well as ambitious; arrogant as well as amiable. It describes how an opening can make you sad and happy at the same time, depending on the way it is treated and how it treats you.Marc Esserman has written a celebration of chess in all its imaginative richness.

The Art of the King's Indian: New Edition, with a Foreword by Garry Kasparov

Szachy > Inne wydawnictwa

This book is a comprehensive 2014 update of the classic manual on the King#8217;s Indian Defence by Eduard Gufeld. The King's Indian is one of the most exciting ways for Black to play against 1.d4. It has been a regular feature in the games of great attackers like Mikhail Tal, Bobby Fischer and Garry Kasparov, all of whom have used it to create the type of unbalanced positions which every aggressive player likes. The KID remains a very popular choice at club level as well. Variations covered in this book include Sämisch Variation, Classical Variation, Four Pawns Attack, as well as many sidelines. This is by far Gufeld's best book ever, and it offers one of the best explanations avalaible of the principles, the ideas, the strategies and the tactical patterns of the Kings Indian. This NEW edition has been improved, expanded and updated thoroughly by IM Stetsko.   With a Foreword by Garry Kasparov.  Eduard Gufeld  made a valuable contribution to the theory of sharp opening systems including in particular the King's Indian Defence and the Dragon Variation of the Sicilian Defence. He seconded the outstanding GM's Leonid Stein and Yefim Gelle, and he trained the women's world champion Maya Chiburdanidze. Oleg Stetsko  is a Soviet chess master, senior trainer of the USSR national team during its last appearances in 1985-1989, a journalist, and since 1993 a contributor to the magazine 64. He has written a number of topical chess books, including one on the games of Magnus Carlsen. IM Andrew Martin, ChessPublishing: "Gufeld is one of the finest King#8217;s Indian practicioners, his games should be thoroughly studied (..) Unusually for a chess book, this is a first-class read." GM Glenn Flear, co-author of 'Dangerous Weapons: The King's Indian': "Stetsko isn't necessarily seeking to give the ultimate theoretical word, but in the lines that I checked, he's nevertheless on the ball (..) One can think of [the book] as model games with reasonable theory, rather than model theory with reasonable games. These are analysed in such a way that the key moments in the middlegames are discussed with feeling. It is even arguable that the reader would learn more about that phase of the game than any new twists from the opening." Wil Liburn-Quick, CHESS Magazine: "The annotations are done in a way whioch should help club players to gain an understanding of the opening, whilst those who already play it will gain a deeper understanding."

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Jack Reacher is back in a brand-new page-turning thriller from acclaimed #1 bestselling authors Lee Child and Andrew Child.Digging graves had not been part of my plans when I woke up that morning. Reacher goes where he wants, when he wants. That morning he was heading west, walking under the merciless desert sun until he comes upon a curious scene. A Jeep has crashed into the only tree for miles around. A woman is slumped over the wheel. Dead? No, nothing is what it seems. The woman is Michaela Fenton, an army veteran turned FBI agent trying to find her twin brother, who might be mixed up with some dangerous people. Most of them would rather die than betray their terrifying leader, who has burrowed his influence deep into the nearby border town, a backwater that has seen better days. The mysterious Dendoncker rules from the shadows, out of sight and under the radar, keeping his dealings in the dark. He would know the fate of Fenton s brother. Reacher is good at finding people who don t want to be found, so he offers to help, despite feeling that Fenton is keeping secrets of her own. But a life hangs in the balance. Maybe more than one. But to bring Dendoncker down will be the riskiest job of Reacher's life. Failure is not an option, because in this kind of game, the loser is always better off dead.
