Public diplomacy - the uncertain art of winning public support abroad for one's government and its foreign policies - constitutes a critical instrument of U.S. policy in the wake of the Bush administration's recent military interventions and its renunciation of widely accepted international accords. Wilson Dizard Jr. offers the first comprehensive account of public diplomacy's evolution within the U.S. foreign policy establishment, ranging from World War II to the present. Dizard focuses on the U.S. Information Agency and its precursor, the Office of War Information. Tracing the political ups and downs determining the agency's trajectory, he highlights its instrumental role in creating the policy and programs underpinning today's public diplomacy, as well as the people involved. The USIA was shut down in 1999, but it left an important legacy of what works and what doesn't in presenting U.S. policies and values to the rest of the world. Inventing Public Diplomacy is an unparalleled history of U.S. efforts at organized international propaganda.

With Teboho Achebe and his Russian supporters in the wind, Blitz and the team, along with the FBI are in pursuit. The current ambassador wants them apprehended as well as the State Department. Achebe killed MI6 agents to free his daughter and they also want his head for their deaths. He is now one of the most wanted men on the planet. With this dangerous mission the top priority, Blitz needs to keep his head in the game, but that’s difficult when he’s distracted by FBI Agent Bree West who is driving him crazy without even trying. Then add into the mix, his former lover Geneve Bonnet who’s here for the beginning of the G5 Sahel Partnership Conference hosted by the United States Embassy in conjunction with the Niger Government. In addition to providing security for the conference and finding and eliminating any threat from Achebe, Blitz has his hands full. When things heat up with Bree, Blitz’s main priority is to protect the heart he’d gotten broken a long time ago or if he lets her, will Bree mend it whole? Bree is here to do a job, and that’s her focus. She’s never had a problem keeping on track, but she never had to deal with major trouble in the form of a former college football player who turned down the NFL to join the Navy. It wouldn’t be such an issue if she didn’t want to know everything about this man, intrigued by his sacrifices and integrity. She needed to keep her vigilance sharp, as she’s now the target of Anya Olenska. Bree killed her brother, and Anya wants vengeance. Then add into the mix that someone else wants Blitz to herself and it’s a recipe for some intense drama. As everything gets more complicated, Bree finds herself willing to take the chance and fight, not only for Blitz, but for the justice that is owed to the former ambassador and his family, regardless of the threat to herself. Can they navigate the difficulty of falling in love in a hostile environment and keep to their commitments and principles, or will it be all out chaos?

During the 2003 war that ended Saddam Hussein's regime, coalition forces captured thousands of hours of secret recordings of meetings, phone calls and conferences. Originally prepared by the Institute for Defense Analyses for the Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Policy, this study presents annotated transcripts of Iraqi audio recordings of meetings between Saddam Hussein and his inner circle. The Saddam Tapes, along with the much larger digital collection of captured records at the National Defense University's Conflict Records Research Center, will provide researchers with important insights into the inner workings of the regime and, it is hoped, the nature of authoritarian regimes more generally. The collection has implications for a range of historical questions. How did Saddam react to the pressures of his wars? How did he manage the Machiavellian world he created? How did he react to the signals and actions of the international community on matters of war and peace? Was there a difference between the public and the private Saddam on critical matters of state? A close examination of this material in the context of events and other available evidence will address these and other questions.
