Stephen Budiansky is an American writer, historian, and biographer. He is also the author of a number of scholarly publications about the history of cryptography, military and intelligence history. Budiansky joined the staff of the science journal Nature as Washington correspondent and later served as its Washington editor. In 1985-86 he was a Congressional Fellow at the U.S. Congress Office of Technology Assessment, where he co-authored a study of advanced conventional weapons technologies as a means for reducing NATO's reliance on nuclear deterrence. In 1986 Budiansky joined the staff of U.S. News & World Report, where he worked for twelve years in a variety of writing and editing positions, covering science and national security issues. He ultimately served as the magazine's deputy editor, the No. 3 editorial position. Since 1998 Budiansky has been a full-time author and free-lance contributor to publications including the Atlantic Monthly, the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Economist. His writing has focused on intellectual biography and military history. From 2007 to 2008 he was the editor of World War II magazine, where he oversaw a complete redesign and brought in well-known writers and historians to contribute to the publication. He is also a member of the editorial board of Cryptologia, the scholarly journal of codes and codebreaking. In this book, Stephen Budiansky tells the rousing story of the underdog coterie of American seamen and their visionary secretary of the navy, who combined bravery and strategic innovation to hold off the legendary royal Navy. The author vividly demonstrates that far from an indecisive Dan unnecessary conflicts historians have lon;g dismissed the war of 1812--this "forgotten war" had profound consequences that would change the course of naval warfare, America's place in the world, and the rules of international conflict forever. Above all, the war of 1812 would be the making of the United States Navy. After the war, Americans would never again doubt that their might, respect, and very survival depended upon a permanent and professional navy. Derived from a Kirkus review: This early entry in the likely flood of books on the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812 focuses on the naval action. Journalist and military historian Budiansky notes that 1812 has as good a claim as any American war to the title "the forgotten war"-understandably, considering that it was at best a draw for the United States. In Jefferson's administration, the government wasn't sure it needed a navy at all; only the Barbary pirates seemed to justify keeping a few warships. Attitudes changed when Britain, embroiled in its war against Napoleon, began raiding American ships for sailors. A British ban on American merchants trading with France also gave the U.S. a casus belli. Britain's refusal to concede these points resulted in open conflict, during which America was effectively forced to invent a navy from bare bones. American sailors gave a good account of themselves in the early going. But William Jones, recruited to serve as Secretary of the Navy, recognized that single-ship duels were a losing strategy and issued orders to concentrate on commerce raiding. Consequently, for the majority of the war, American privateers and commerce raiders preyed on British ships, from the Pacific whaling grounds to the Irish Sea. Budiansky gives a solid account of all major naval actions and a fine picture of the personalities of the key figures-especially the proud American captains William Bainbridge, Stephen Decatur and Isaac Hull, and their British counterparts. The author also looks at the fate of American prisoners of war and at the larger political issues behind the war. The Treaty of Ghent brought the war to an end early in 1815, with Britain formally conceding none of the American demands. In practice, the impressments of American sailors ceased, ending the major bone of contention. Budiansky sees the result as an early example of asymmetric war, in which a weaker power prolongs the conflict by choosing to fight only on favorable terms until its opponent grows tired of the exercise. Highly readable and especially useful as an overview of the early days of the U.S. Navy.

Bizarro Comics! Trade Paperback. Cover by: Matt Groening & Nathan Kane. Bizarro, an imperfect duplicate of Superman who does everything backwards, tries drawing comics, concocting thirty stories including one in which Wonder Woman participates in a poetry slam, and in baby Superman torments his baby-sitter. A host of comics' most innovative writers and artists contribute their unique takes on the characters populating the DC Universe. Under the premise that Bizarro, Superman's moronic blockheaded doppelganger, has decided to publish his own comic book stories, this hardcover edition presents an irreverent collection of spiteful super hero tales. Taking shots at Batman, Wonder Woman, and the Green Lantern, this rare and hilarious sarcastic look at the super hero world includes comical tales of the search for a babysitter for a young Superman, Supergirl and Mary Marvel's troubles finding a good man, and the Man of Steel's hopeless battle with a Superman-hating creature dwelling on an orbiting space station.

A Choice outstanding academic title from one of the premier nonproliferation research teams. The new edition addresses the recent, dramatic developments in Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, and the nuclear black market, analyzing strategic and policy implications. In the three years since the first edition of Dearly Arsenals, the field of nonproliferation has been through a period of breathtaking change--all of which is reflected in this new volume. North Korea's violation of its commitments and subsequent announced withdrawal from the Non-Proliferation Treat (NPT), and its declaration that it had acquired nuclear weapons, underlined the treaty's Achilles heel that allows a state to exploit NPT membership to become a nuclear state. With the first edition of Deadly Arsenals, the authors set out to produce the most complete and authoritative resource available anywhere from nonclassified sources on the spread of nuclear, chemical, and biologicals weapons and their means of delivery. The widespread use of that volume and the warm feedback the authors have received from scholars, government officials, and experts from around the world have reinforced their belief that this project, while highly labor intensive, is well worth the efforts. The authors hope that this second edition will earn the same reputation for comprehensive coverage, accuracy, clarity, and meticulous attention to detail. Although its content differs substantially from that of the first volume, reflecting the extraordinary pace of change in this field, users will find it to be the same reliable guide that its predecessor proved to be.
