"A four-man crew - two men and two women - were sent to space to study the effects of an unknown territory, as well as a year's seclusion, to the probability of conception outside Earth's atmosphere. Facing the church's and society's wrath, this top-secret voyage was supposed to mark another milestone in the history of space exploration - a desperate attempt to find hope for mankind. But something went wrong"--page [4] of cover.

Amid the turmoil, the country's aging autocrat, President Namono, looks to Beijing for support, raising fears in Washington of a new superpower rivalry emerging in Africa.When President Namono is nearly killed in a mysterious assassination attempt, news of the attack sends his rivals scrambling for advantage, each hoping to occupy the executive mansion. Will it be the president's power-hungry wife and handbag connoisseur Charity, his hard-drinking playboy son Fabrice, or ambitious defense minister Mugaba Odongo? With the country's future hanging in the balance, spies, diplomats, and soldiers race against time and each other to get their own candidate into power.

Early August, 1943 - The War Department, Washington, DC: "Mother of God!" I don't believe what I just saw." General "Hap" Arnold, USAAC exclaims. He had just watched captured German film of a test flight of the most lethal weapon of World War II, the first combat jet fighter plane in aviation history, the Messerschmitt 262! "My God! With the Me 262s, Hitler can put an aerial umbrella over Europe that could win the war for them...No, not could, but would win! How do we stop them!?" Operation Hermes is the story of how a small group of Allied Intelligence agents developed and executed a plan to convince the Germans to delay the mass production of the Me 262. They knew the final answer rested with Adolph Hitler. How would or could they get to Hitler to influence his decision on mass producing the Me 262, the one weapon the Allies knew could guarantee Germany's victory in World War II. From Washington to London, Lisbon to Berlin, Dublin to Stockholm, the Operation Hermes team tried to infiltrate the highest offices of the German war machine to raise questions among the leaders on what the Me 262 should be. Germany had over one million troops in Europe and their leaders were confident that their troops could thwart any invasions the Allies would attempt. The Allies agreed, especially if Hitler produced the Me 262 in great numbers. The success or failure of the efforts of Operation Hermes would determine the fate of the world. Beginning on the Sixth of June 1944, the Allies and Hitler had their answers.

The principal aim of this book is to address the international legal questions arising from the 'right of visit on the high seas' in the twenty-first century. This right is considered the most significant exception to the fundamental principle of the freedom of the high seas (the freedom, in peacetime, to remain free of interference by ships of another flag). It is this freedom that has been challenged by a recent significant increase in interceptions to counter the threats of international terrorism and WMD proliferation, or to suppress transnational organised crime at sea, particularly the trafficking of narcotics and smuggling of migrants. The author questions whether the principle of non-interference has been so significantly curtailed as to have lost its relevance in the contemporary legal order of the oceans. The book begins with an historical and theoretical examination of the framework underlying interception. This historical survey informs the remainder of the work, which then looks at the legal framework of the right of visit, contemporary challenges to the traditional right, interference on the high seas for the maintenance of international peace and security, interferences to maintain the 'bon usage' of the oceans (navigation and fishing), piracy j'ure gentium'and current counter-piracy operations off the coast of Somalia, the problems posed by illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing, interdiction operations to counter drug and people trafficking, and recent interception operations in the Mediterranean Sea organised by FRONTEX.

Armed with an eighth-grade education, an inexhaustible imagination, and an innate talent for dancing, Hermes Pan (1909-1990) was a boy from Tennessee who became the most prolific, popular, and memorable choreographer of the glory days of the Hollywood musical. While he may be most well-known for the Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers musicals which he choreographed at RKO film studios, he also created dances at Twentieth Century-Fox, M-G-M, Paramount, and later for television, winning both the Oscar and the Emmy for best choreography. In Hermes Pan: The Man Who Danced with Fred Astaire, Pan emerges as a man in full, an artist inseparable from his works. He was a choreographer deeply interested in his dancers' personalities, and his dances became his way of embracing and understanding the outside world. Though his time in a Trappist monastery proved to him that he was more suited to choreography than to life as a monk, Pan remained a deeply devout Roman Catholic throughout his creative life, a person firmly convinced of the powers of prayer. While he was rarely to be seen without several beautiful women at his side, it was no secret that Pan was homosexual and even had a life partner. As Pan worked at the nexus of the cinema industry's creative circles during the golden age of the film musical, this book traces not only Pan's personal life but also the history of the Hollywood musical itself. It is a study of Pan, who emerges here as a benevolent perfectionist, and equally of the stars, composers, and directors with whom he worked, from Astaire and Rogers to Betty Grable, Rita Hayworth, Elizabeth Taylor, Sammy Davis Jr., Frank Sinatra, Bob Fosse, George Gershwin, Samuel Goldwyn, and countless other luminaries of American popular entertainment. Author John Franceschina bases his telling of Pan's life on extensive first-hand research into Pan's unpublished correspondence and his own interviews. Pan enjoyed one of the most illustrious careers of any Hollywood dance director, and because his work also spanned across Broadway and television, this book will appeal to readers interested in musical theater history, dance history, and film.

The years 1921–57 marked a period of immense upheaval for Australia as the nation navigated economic crises, the threat of aggressive Japanese expansion and shifting power distributions with the world transitioning from British leadership to that of the US. This book offers a reassessment of Australia’s foreign policy origins and maturation during these tumultuous years. Successive Australian governments carefully observed these global and regional forces. The policy that developed in response was an integrated one—that is, one that sought to balance Australia’s particular geopolitical circumstances with great power relationships and, in assessing the value of these relationships, ensure that the nation’s trade, security and diplomatic interests were served. Amid the economic and strategic uncertainty of the interwar years, the Australian government acknowledged the shifting power distributions in the global and Asia-Pacific orders and that neither the policies of Britain nor the US completely served the national interest. The nation, accordingly, sought to intervene within the policies of the great powers to ensure its particular interests were secured. This geopolitically informed, interventionist approach, which had its genesis in the 1930s, is traced throughout the 1940s and 1950s, highlighting Australia’s gradual and uneven transition from the British world order to that of the US and the frank assessments made about which relationship best served Australia’s interests. The Genesis of a Policy identifies a comprehensive and pragmatic approach—albeit not always effectively executed—in Australian foreign policy tradition that has not been previously examined.
