The product of painstaking research and countless interviews, A High Price offers a nuanced, definitive historical account of Israel's bold but often failed efforts to fight terrorist groups. Beginning with the violent border disputes that emerged after Israel's founding in 1948, Daniel Byman charts the rise of Yasir Arafat's Fatah and leftist groups such as the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine--organizations that ushered in the era of international terrorism epitomized by the 1972 hostage-taking at the Munich Olympics. Byman reveals how Israel fought these groups and others, such as Hamas, in the decades that follow, with particular attention to the grinding and painful struggle during the second intifada. Israel's debacles in Lebanon against groups like the Lebanese Hizballah are examined in-depth, as is the country's problematic response to Jewish terrorist groups that have struck at Arabs and Israelis seeking peace. In surveying Israel's response to terror, the author points to the coups of shadowy Israeli intelligence services, the much-emulated use of defensive measures such as sky marshals on airplanes, and the role of controversial techniques such as targeted killings and the security barrier that separates Israel from Palestinian areas. Equally instructive are the shortcomings that have undermined Israel's counterterrorism goals, including a disregard for long-term planning and a failure to recognize the long-term political repercussions of counterterrorism tactics.

Triumph Over Terror is a 200-year look at American's fight against terrorism. This review shows extensive victories in the war on terrorism and the tools to win.

Since September 11 2001, the battle lines have been drawn. The US President, George Bush, has accepted the challenge on behalf of himself, the United States, the Western world, and indeed the entire world. In America s War on Terror, Steve Itugbu paints a vivid, insightful picture of terrorism vis-a-vis the war on terror and the wrong moves made by the West. The treatise neither exculpates nor indicts, but reveals the prominent aspects of the bold new war on terrorism via a historical perspective and a thorough investigation into patterns, the grudge against the West, counter-terrorism measures, the dispute over the rightness or otherwise of terrorist acts, and finally the policies and politics of the West that help foster terrorism. Steve Itugbu, a masters degree holder of Politics is a well-travelled journalist. He also has to his credit several radio and television documentaries, especially Options before the Third World and Tackling Africa s Underdevelopment. He is presently working on two books, The Triumph of Genocide and Organized Confusion.

A true story of rebuilding and remembrance in the wake of tragedy The September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center devastated investment banking and brokerage firm Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. (KBW) in every way possible. KBW's headquarters were located on the eighty-eighth and eighty-ninth floors of 2 World Trade Center and as a result of the attacks, the company lost one-third of its staff. The enormity of KBW's plight raises the question about how much a single company can lose and still conjure the strength and resources to regenerate itself. Triumph over Tragedy is the story of a group of people with indomitable spirit who literally fought their way out of the collapsing building to revive their company, support each other, and care for the victims' families. This inspirational book captures the experiences of KBW's survivors, including that of author and KBW CEO John Duffy who lost his son, Christopher, and longtime partner, co-CEO and Chairman Joseph Berry. Triumph over Tragedy introduces readers to the individuals behind the news stories: those representing a nation of people and businesses struggling to cope. This book also provides valuable lessons on rebuilding, which are reflected in the personal stories told by the KBW staff and the choices made at KBW regarding leadership, support for the families of those missing or dead, and methods for reestablishing the business.
