Описание:
The continued spread of democracy into the twenty-first century has seen two-thirds of the almost two hundred independent countries of the world adopting this model. In these newer democracies, one of the biggest challenges has been to establish the proper balance between the civilian and military sectors. A fundamental question of power must be addressed—who guards the guardians and how?
In this volume of essays, contributors associated with the Center for Civil-Military Relations in Monterey, California, offer firsthand observations about civil-military relations in a broad range of regions including Latin America, Africa, Asia, and Eastern Europe. Despite diversity among the consolidating democracies of the world, their civil-military problems and solutions are similar—soldiers and statesmen must achieve a deeper understanding of one another, and be motivated to interact in a mutually beneficial way. The unifying theme of this collection is the creation and development of the institutions whereby democratically elected civilians achieve and exercise power over those who hold a monopoly on the use of force within a society, while ensuring that the state has sufficient and qualified armed forces to defend itself against internal and external aggressors. Although these essays address a wide variety of institutions and situations, they each stress a necessity for balance between democratic civilian control and military effectiveness.

Описание: Thuy thinks war is glorious and heroic. But he's about to discover that heroism and glory are not as simple as they seem. The Vietnamese village Thuy grew up in is surrounded by the American conflict. At sixteen, he feels he's ready to join the Viet Cong, despite his mother's qualms. When he does, Thuy is catapulted almost immediately into something he never imagined-reconnaissance missions into the heart of an American camp, privation, and battles with high costs. Then, wounded and hungry, he must set out alone through the jungle toward home, a village he's not even sure still exists. . . . In this story of loyalty, courage, and endurance, former U.S. Marine and Vietnam veteran G. Lowell Tollefson pays homage to the strength and heart of his one-time adversaries. "Tollefson does an amazing job of getting into the minds and hearts of the enemy and making them human. " David Willson, Books in Review II. The VVA Veteran magazine.
