Decision-making has always influenced everyday life and today, more than ever, it's present within selections, award ceremonies, public speeches, auctions, judgments and consensus making. As if pointing out the elephant in the room, this publication is the first artist's book focusing entirely on the object of decision-making and the visual representation of authority par excellence: the gavel. Examined through the lens of a peculiar group of gavels owned by the International Institute of Social History (IISH) in Amsterdam, ones that had belonged to revolutionary and emancipatory movements from the 19th century up to recent times, these objects are questioned through their silence and their shifting symbolic meanings. 'The President's Hammers' investigates these modern sceptres of power both from an artistic point of view - following artist Diego Tonus towards the process of substituting the IISH's original gavels with their replicas, in the attempt to show them for the first time to the public as a collection outside of the Archive - and from their anthropological, psychoanalytical and socio-political perspectives in dialogue with selected authors, contributing to repositioning the gavel within today's cultural landscape. In this Catalogue Raisonnè, gavels are observed as tools of power able to canalise a message and that, articulating a language of their own, are used as tools for creation or destruction within a specific discourse. The unknown histories and derivations of IISH's silent gavels open a space of artistic investigation that allows Diego Tonus, in dialogue with the other contributors, to question the paradoxical implications of the decision-making 'hammer' in a broad sense and the fetishist attraction towards these objects, the history of which is quite blurred and ranges from secret societies to recent parliaments.

Centering on the events of 1963 in Vietnam that led to the assassinations of South Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem and his brother Ngo Dinh Nhu, Ellen Hammer's riveting in-depth study demonstrates how this military coup transformed the Vietnam War into an American war. Having visited the embattled nation many times during the period and having interviewed key characters in the drama, she chronicles the series of misunderstandings between Vietnam and representatives of Western societies that preceded the events of 1963. Hammer's compelling account will provide readers with a fuller understanding of American involvement in Vietnam.

"Freedom...this is what being an American is all about. It is the single most important philosophy that has driven America's success since the beginning. Freedom, however, is an expensive luxury to secure, and that is why America strives to be the leading force in military might and power. Americans are accustomed to this luxury and in ways they have taken it for granted. The dreaded day of 9/11 opened the eyes of millions of Americans when the US homeland was attacked. Its enemies exploited a weakness in general security and utilized that weakness to promote fear and chaos! The enemy took decisive action against its American foe; lending to the shocking realization that America is not immortal. Imagine if America's other weaknesses were exploited...Imagine if the next attack wasn't targeted at civilians but at the American government... Pentagon's Hammer is a story following a highly intelligent group of terrorists that have infiltrated the core of America's defense structure and are now utilizing this great wealth of knowledge against its sworn nemesis. This hostile takeover is led by an individual known only as "The Serpent" -- an individual sworn to the destruction of the United States of America. In twelve days, the lives of millions of American's will be changed forever. In twelve days, America will be thrown into disarray as its enemies have found a vulnerable weakness within its space-based Defense GRID! In twelve days, The Serpent executes a series of attacks that virtually cripples the America the world has come to know! BUT, there's one complication - ALEX BAUER, a highly recognized defense systems engineer and expert within the US government.

From NY Times Bestselling Author, Amazon top 25 Author, former Green Beret and West Point Graduate, Bob Mayer. What if US Army Green Berets led by Dave Riley must take on not only criminal drug traffickers but also betray their own government? A US Army Special Forces team carrying sterilized weapons and unmarked uniforms is on its way to Colombia. The mission: conduct covert, unilateral raids to destroy cocaine processing laboratories. Of course nothing is as it seems especially once the CIA gets involved. Throw in an Israeli mercenary, betrayal and double-dealing in Washington and the team soon finds itself wondering what the real mission is. “A scorcher of a novel. Mayer had me hooked from the very first page.” Stephen Coonts From Publishers Weekly When Colombia secretly requests U.S. aid against the drug cartel, a Special Forces A-Team becomes the "eyes" guiding gunships and helicopters--the "hammer"--against jungle cocaine-processing labs. Then treachery leaves four Green Berets dead and one in the hands of the "Ring Man," deadliest of the drug lords. Special Forces warrant officer Riley and CIA agent Kate Westland are sent in to kill the Ring Man and rescue the prisoner. Their slim chances sink to near-zero when Washington pulls the plug on the mission. But before his people are abandoned, a veteran Special Forces colonel still has a few cards to play. In his first novel (launching a series), former Green Beret Mayer successfully establishes the nuanced differences among U.S. Special Operations units: rangers, Delta Force and Special Forces. But his story line jumps unconvincingly from covert infiltration mission to secret agent-type assassination to commando raid. Descriptions of the tools of unconventional warfare are static, and characters, with the exception of agent Westland, never achieve full dimension. Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Library Journal A thriller that delivers in all areas--plot, suspense, authenticity, and pace. Riley, a Special Forces man, is sent to one of a series of invasions of Colombia to destroy cocaine processing plants. After two successes and one failure, he is assigned to terminate a drug lord. His companion is a woman, Westland, a CIA agent. The intrigue and plotting of the military and various government agencies, in the United States and Colombia, and the incredible Colombian corruption are interwoven into a minor masterpiece of technology and suspense. The climax will have the reader yearning for more nails to bite. A first novel by a former Green Beret, this is not to be missed by fans of the genre. - Robert H. Donahugh, formerly with Youngstown & Mahoning Cty. P.L., Ohio Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc.

STONY MAN Dedicated to fighting terror wherever it's found, the warriors of Stony Man do not consider failure to be an option. But the men and women of this top secret unit remain ever vigilant in the knowledge that some day a threat so enormous may arise that nothing can stop i t…not even the hardest commandos on the planet. That day may be now…. SKY HAMMER It is brilliant technology from the space race days, shelved long ago in favor of more sophisticated weaponry. No nukes, no warheads, just simple rods of stainless steel corralled in space and sent jetting into Earth's atmosphere at Mach 2 to hit selected targets with white-hot balls of molten metal. Cheap to make, impossible to stop, and easy to deploy, it has fallen into hostile hands. Across the globe, a demonstration of the accuracy of Sky Hammer leaves little doubt that this could be the endgame for Stony Man…and the world.
