"While many have tried, few have succeeded in telling such a complete and thorough history of my dad's greatest triumph: the downfall of the Soviet Union. A fascinating read - with all of the passion, intrigue, and fairness he would have wanted - The Crusader is unlike any other book about him." - Michael Reagan. "The Crusader is a masterpiece, painstakingly researched, filled with new evidence on Reagan no one has seen, including shockers from Soviet files, freedom-of-information requests, and freshly declassified, heretofore unknown documents." - Michael Novak, author and United States Ambassador to the United Nations Human Rights Commission 1981-1982. "Although I served as Reagan's Soviet adviser in 1981 and 1982, there is information here of which I had been ignorant. Highly recommended as the story of one of the most dramatic episodes of modern history." - Richard Pipes, professor of Russian history, Emeritus, Harvard University. "A groundbreaking reassessment of Ronald Reagan's life and presidency, exploring his lifelong struggle - and ultimate victory - against the tyranny of Communism. In this dramatic meditation on the life of Ronald Reaagan, historian Paul Kengor presents an account of the fortieth president that has never been written - one that details Reagan's campaign against the Soviet Union, which lasted for more than forty years. Tracing Reagan's anti-Communist sentiment to his days as president of the Screen Actors Guild, Kengor illuminates how this experience first emboldened the actor to speak out against the oppression of the Soviet Union and describes Reagan's multifaceted efforts to prevent Communism from taking hold in Hollywood. Ultimately hs SAG tenure paved the way for his burgeoning political career, which, from its inception, had but one purpose: the end of Communism. Utilizing reams of recently declassified documents, Kengor assembles a striking mosaic of Reagan's words and actions that toppled the Soviet Union. From Reagan's covert support of the rebels who defeated the Soviets in Afghanistan to his secret oil collusion with Saudi Arabia that devastated the Soviet economy, Kengor reveals how Reagan's eight years in office did more to bring down the Soviet Union than any single administration in the history of the Cold War. With painstaking detail, he also explains Reagan's crucial move to escalate the arms race with the Kremlin, a decision that, though politically unpopular, proved vital to the Soviets' eventual downfall. Revisiting many of the administration's principal characters, Kengor speaks with the individuals who helped shape foreign policy under Reagan. These testimonies give unfettered access into the hearts and minds of those closest to Reagan, revealing how this group translated Reagan's ideas into a comprehensive strategy to destroy the Soviet Union. In addition, Kengor delves into never-before-studied Soviet documents and propaganda, uncovering how the other side perceived Reagan's advances and attempted to counter his progress with its unique brand of disinformation. Also told here is an incendiary revelation of the liberal American politician who reportedly reached out to the Soviets to derail Reagan's 1984 bid for reelection. With unparalleled research, this fascinating book tells the story of a man who believed that it was his responsibility to save the world from Soviet oppression. It's a story that demonstrates how one American's fight ended the 20th century's longest war. It's a story of one man who changed history. It's the story of a crusader." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A systems perspective is beginning to permeate doctrine. This perspective calls for an analysis of the key systems of an adversary. PMESII is an acronym that stands for political, military, economic, social, infrastructure, and information systems. Analyzing the adversary's PMESII systems can lead to the identification of key nodes, links, and vulnerabilities, which can then be targeted kinetically or non-kinetically to achieve desired effects. The PMESII systems construct applies well when the adversary is a state. All of these systems will be present, and mature, with many of them possessing tangible infrastructure, which can easily be identified by Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance, and then targeted with precision weaponry. However, when the adversary is non-state actor, these same systems will be noticeably missing. Non-state actors are organized fundamentally different than states, and manifest themselves in completely different ways. The utility of the PMESII construct is significantly diminished when the adversary is a non-state actor. To apply the systems perspective to non-state actors, such as Al-Zarqawi, the Al Qaeda leader in Iraq, a different construct is required. The author maintains that identifying the critical requirements of non-state actors leads to a more relevant construct. The author, using the nonstate actor Zarqawi, identifies four systems that the typical non-state actor requires to remain viable. These systems are funding, recruitment, information and support, or (FRIS). The FRIS construct provides the same level of utility for the non-state actor, as PMESII does for states. The author recommends incorporating the FRIS construct as a corollary to the PMESII construct in the doctrinal manuals and publications that discuss the systems perspective.
