Описание:
The International Criminal Court remains a sensitive issue in U.S. foreign policy circles. It was agreed to at the tail end of the Clinton administration, but with serious reservations. In 2002 the Bush administration ceremoniously reversed course and unsigned the Rome Statute that had established the Court. But recent developments in Washington and elsewhere indicate that the United States may be moving toward de facto acceptance of the Court and active cooperation in its mission. In Means to an End, Lee Feinstein and Tod Lindberg reassess the relationship of the United States and the ICC, as well as American policy toward international justice more broadly.
Praise for the hardcover edition of Means to an End Books of this sort are all too rare. Two experienced policy intellectuals, one liberal, one conservative, have come together to find common ground on a controversial foreign policy issue.... The book is short, but it goes a long way toward clearing the ideological air. -- Foreign Affairs A well-researched and timely contribution to the debate over America's proper relationship to the International Criminal Court. Rigorous in its arguments and humane in its conclusions, the volume is an indispensable guide for scholars and policymakers alike. --Madeleine K. Albright, former U.S. Secretary of State
Two of our nation's leading authorities on preventing atrocities have joined to make a convincing argument that closer cooperation with the International Criminal Court will help promote human rights and the values on which America was founded. --Angelina Jolie, co-chair, Jolie-Pitt Foundation
Reconnect with Judaism's most important contribution to humanity--and redeem our world.
"The gift of Judaism is an understanding of what it means to be a human being--what we can do, what we can hope for, how we can live with purpose, what is expected of us. It is a celebration of human freedom, human possibility and human responsibility. Judaism is a way to live a heroic life, to construct a life devoted to values that are eternal, values of ultimate significance. The reward of a Jewish life is walking the world with a profound faith that you matter, your life matters, your dreams matter. I call this chutzpah."
--from the Introduction
In this clarion call for a new way to "do Judaism," award-winning spiritual leader Rabbi Edward Feinstein urges us to recover this message of Jewish self-empowerment--or chutzpah--to reshape our world. He walks us through the history of chutzpah--from the early chapters of Genesis, Jewish biblical law and the Rabbis of the Talmud to the mystics of medieval Spain and the European Hasidic tradition, Zionism and post-Holocaust thought. By showing us the ever-presence of chutzpah in Judaism he reveals the inner story of the Jewish People's soul as well as the meaning that Judaism's deepest purpose and most precious treasure has for us today.

Описание: Defending the Promised Land
Antonio Bastone lives a double life as an entrepreneur with both dark and illustrious connections and as a member of the covert operation Swords of David. His objective: to eliminate or neutralize those who seek the destruction of Israel, thus threatening world peace.
The SOD operation takes Antonio and his cohorts-intelligent and sexy Ziva, bodyguard Benjamin, and Fran oise, a beautiful Mon gasque woman with a shadowy secret-into the world of European aristocracy, international society, and high-stakes gambling. Though dedicated to the quest for peace in Israel, each is willing to take risks that could prove fatal in order to accomplish their goal.
With unexpected help from some Turkish bandits, the team returns to Italy, thinking their mission is completed-only to be summoned back to Israel for a new assignment. The fate of the world hangs in the balance.
"A gripping, intricately plotted novel-an adventure thriller that's highly in tune with reality." -Avi Lugashi, former sergeant major in the Israeli Defense Forces
"Swords of David is a definite all-nighter, recommended to anyone who enjoys electrifying exploits mixed with international intrigue. Mr. Feinstein's book has all the drama and glamour of a major motion picture." -Robert Bloom, former military Chinese interpreter during the Korean War
