In While England Slept Winston Churchill revealed in 1938 how the inadequacy of Britain's military forces to cope with worldwide responsibilities in a peaceful but tense era crippled its ability to deter or even adequately prepare for World War II. In While America Sleeps, historians Donald and Frederick Kagan retrace Britain's international and defense policies during the years after World War I leading up to World War II, showing in persuasive detail how self-delusion and an unwillingness to face the inescapable responsibilities on which their security and the peace of the world depended cost the British dearly. The Kagans then turn their attention to America and argue that our nation finds itself in a position similar to that of Britain in the 1920s. For all its emergency interventions the U.S. has not yet accepted its unique responsibility to take the lead in preserving the peace. Years of military cutbacks-the "peace dividend" following the buildup and triumph over Communism of the Reagan years-have weakened our armed forces and left us with too few armed forces to cover too many possible threats. This has caused us to bank everything on high tech "smart" weapons - some of which have not yet been invented and others that we are not acquiring or deploying - as opposed to the long-term commitment of money, fighting men and women, and planning that the deterrence of a major war would require. This failure to shape a policy and to commit the resources needed to maintain peace has cost valuable time in shaping a peaceful world and has placed America's long-term security in danger. The policies of the Bush and Clinton administrations have left us in a position where we cannot avoid war and keep the peace in areas vital to our security. Neither have the post-Cold War policies sent clear signals to would-be aggressors that the U.S. can and will resist them. Tensions in the Middle East, instability in eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, the nuclear confrontation between India and Pakistan, the development of nuclear weapons and missiles by North Korea, and the menacing threats and actions of China, with its immense population, resentful sense of grievance and years of military buildup, all hint that the current peaceful era will not last forever. Can we make it last as long as possible? Are we prepared to face its collapse? While America Sleeps is a sobering, fascinating work of history that poses a thoughtful challenge to policy-makers and will interest military buffs as well as readers interested in history and international relations.

Former senator Russ Feingold looks at institutional failures, both domestic and abroad, since the 9/11 terrorist attacks and proposes steps to be taken—by the government and by individuals—to ensure that the next ten years are focused on solving the international problems that threaten America. In While America Sleeps, Russ Feingold details our nation’s collective failure to respond properly to the challenges posed by the post-9/11 era. Oversimplification of complicated new problems as well as the cynical exploitation of the fears generated by 9/11 have undermined our ability to adjust effectively to America’s new place in the world. This has weakened our efforts to protect American lives, our national security, and our constitutional values. Ranging from institutional failures to “get it right” by Congress, the executive branch, and the media to the way we have spoken of the war on terror, the nature of Islam, and American exceptionalism, too often we have not made the best choices in confronting, in Churchill’s words, the “new conditions under which we now have to dwell.” Senator Feingold explores the way in which the American public has been fed inadequate information or mere slogans to explain 9/11, Al Qaeda, and related events. This compares unfavorably with the candor often associated with, for example, FDR’s fireside chats during World War II. Lumping Al Qaeda into a catch-all category known as “bad guys,” failing to make it clear that Islam itself is not a threat to our way of life, and underestimating the extreme difficulty of fully invading individual countries as a way to root out international terrorism are examples of this misdirection. Moreover, our general inability to keep our eyes on the international ball seems to have grown even worse in the years following 9/11. More than ten years after one of the greatest wake-up calls in human history, our nation seems to have again grown complacent about the issues that suddenly seemed so urgent immediately after 9/11. While America Sleeps suggests ways in which we can awaken a new national commitment to engage with the rest of the world and one another in a less simplistic and more thoughtful way. Feingold’s hope is that when the history of this era is written, it will be said that our country was taken off guard at the height of its power at the turn of the century and stumbled for a decade in an unfamiliar environment, but in the following decade America found a new national commitment of unity and resolve to adapt to its new status and leadership in the world.

This book describes the practices and propaganda that are preparing the fall of America and guaranteeing that nothing will be done to stop it. Other books focus on one aspect of the problem; this book tells you the whole story. Other books give you rants and unsupported claims. This book presents documented facts but also tells the victims' stories, bringing you face to face with the human costs. When presenting misguided practices and anti-American ideology, the book lets the perpetrators hang themselves in their own words.

For well over a century, both political parties and a long succession of U.S. leaders have failed to embrace countless opportunities across a variety of areas to make a major contribution to society or the world at large. Those failures haunt U.S. society and the world today, and this book examines several of the areas where America has fallen short. In each area - whether it is arms limitation and disarmament, economic development, or the denial of social rights domestically and abroad - the failure to grasp opportunities constitutes a form of sleep. One area the author examines is education, which has replaced the self-making, truth-seeking person committed to doing social good with the consumer focused on material things.

While America Sleeps brings forth dispensational endtime truths with the boldness of an ancient watchman crying out a warning to the unprepared and slumbering people. The correlation of Old Testament and New Testament scripture proves the end of Gentile World Dominion is coming to the appointed time of completion. It uses prophecy as an avenue to establish God's great and wondrous plans for The Nation Israel and for The Church. It shares revelation knowledge that Jesus Christ's birthplace was by divine design. A stable is the appropriate and proper place for a baby lamb to be born. Jesus Christ was, and is, ""The Lamb of God."" Deity donned flesh and blood and was laid in a manger and named Jesus. His sinless, sacrificial blood was pre-ordained to take away the sins of the world. It shares God's love and concern for His creation, mankind, and shows that God's plans for man are good and not evil. This book is unique in form, for it was written for both Jew and Gentile.

For over 50 years now, there has been a sinister plan to take over America. What was once a strong and mighty nation, is just a few short years from falling if something doesn't change quickly. These haters of America were once located in countries like Russia and China, but sadly, not only are they within our country, but some are even in our government. Their dream is to take the power of the people and give it to the government where they can control every aspect of our life, thus abolishing freedom all together. Their tactic has been silent and methodical. They have infiltered every part of society. They have been slowly brainwashing our citizens to believe their lies and has caused a great division in the land that once was "One Nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all". It is time for America to awaken from its slumber and take back control from these ruthless, heartless, deceitful, power-hungry people, and put the power once again back in the Citizens of the United States. If this isn't done soon, it is my fear that our freedoms and way of life will change for the worse and never be able to regain its strength again. In the pages of this book, you will find out how they have quietly invaded America, "While America was Sleeping".

This book describes the FBIas counterintelligence and counterterrorism efforts from an insideras experience. Hopefully, it will bring the reader some understanding as to what really goes on inside the FBI and why there is a need for oversight and accountability within our government. It offers an explanation on why the FBI has had so many problems and what little changes have been made since the September 11th attacks. It should be an eye-opener for many who are curious to see what really goes on inside the FBI. If changes are not made, our country and civil rights are in jeopardy.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A gripping, complexly plotted thriller set within the halls of the U.S. Supreme Court, where a young law clerk finds herself embroiled in a shocking mystery crafted by one of the most preeminent judges in America—from celebrated national leader and bestselling author Stacey Abrams. "Abrams follows in Dan Brown’s footprint with this masterfully plotted thriller that unfolds like the ultimate chess match—bold move to bolder move with lives hanging in the balance."—Lisa Gardner, author of Before She Disappeared "A first-class legal thriller, favorably compared to many of the best, starting with The Pelican Brief, which it brings to mind. It’s fast-paced and full of surprises—a terrific read."—Scott Turow, author of Presumed Innocent Avery Keene, a brilliant young law clerk for the legendary Justice Howard Wynn, is doing her best to hold her life together--excelling in an arduous job with the court while also dealing with a troubled family. When the shocking news breaks that Justice Wynn--the cantankerous swing vote on many current high-profile cases--has slipped into a coma, Avery's life turns upside down. She is immediately notified that Justice Wynn has left instructions for her to serve as his legal guardian and power of attorney. Plunged into an explosive role she never anticipated, Avery finds that Justice Wynn had been secretly researching one of the most controversial cases before the court--a proposed merger between an American biotech company and an Indian genetics firm, which promises to unleash breathtaking results in the medical field. She also discovers that Wynn suspected a dangerously related conspiracy that infiltrates the highest power corridors of Washington. As political wrangling ensues in Washington to potentially replace the ailing judge whose life and survival Avery controls, she begins to unravel a carefully constructed, chesslike sequence of clues left behind by Wynn. She comes to see that Wynn had a much more personal stake in the controversial case and realizes his complex puzzle will lead her directly into harm's way in order to find the truth. While Justice Sleeps is a cunningly crafted, sophisticated novel, layered with myriad twists and a vibrant cast of characters. Drawing on her astute inside knowledge of the court and political landscape, Stacey Abrams shows herself to be not only a force for good in politics and voter fairness but also a major new talent in suspense fiction.
