Bobby Jacobi was once San Francisco's finest until he lost his hand
rescuing a kidnap victim. Retired and divorced he finds love and a
new career working as a life insurance fraud investigator. When
what appears to be a clear cut case suddenly turns suspicious,
Bobby's old cop mind wakes up. The deeper he digs the stranger the
case becomes, until he trusts nothing, not even himself. By the end
of his search Bobby finds himself lost between the truth and what
hides behind the veil of fog rolling in off the bay. There he tries
to answer the question - what is the value of a man's life?
Strategic mobility, the capability to transport military forces
rapidly across intercontinental distances into an operational
theater, lies at the heart of US military strategy. Nowhere has the
importance of strategic mobility been more evident than in
Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm, the military response to the
Iraqi seizure of Kuwait that began in August 1990 and ended in
March 1991. This study presents a detailed analysis of how the
Defense Transportation System (DTS)--the United States
Transportation Command, its service components, and the civilian
transportation industry--provided the strategic mobility that
enabled the United States and its allies to assemble an
overwhelming military force to defeat Iraq and free Kuwait. It is
also a tribute to the hard work and dedication of the military and
civilian personnel who ran the DTS during the operation.
This is the follow up to Volume I with more photos and prices of
petroleum and automobile related advertising pieces. In this book
we focused on tire, battery, and accessory advertising.
This book of Petroliana collectables has been written with everyone
in mind from the novice collector, just getting started, all the
way to the seasoned collector with hundreds of items already in
his/her repertoire. This book can help those new to the hobby by
giving them and idea of what is actually out there, how to identify
their items, and how much they are worth. On the other end of the
spectrum, I believe that for advanced collectors, they can use this
book to refine their collecting skills. They can get a better idea
of how to rate items and how condition and rarity can greatly
affect value.

This volume is the first major history of a joint operation to be published by the Joint History Office and supports the efforts of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to promote a greater understanding of the joint system. I recommend it to military planners, operators, and logisticians, as well as to readers interested in joint and combined operations." John M. ShaliksahviliChairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
"What is government itself but the greatest of all reflections on
human nature? If men were angels, no government would be
necessary."
The ever wary James Madison viewed his fellow citizens as
anything but angelic. In this radically new interpretation, Richard
Matthews portrays a much less optimistic (and yet more liberal)
Madison than we've seen before. Neither civic humanist nor
democrat, this Madison is a distrusting, calculating, and pragmatic
Machiavellian Prince.
Hardly an imposing figure, Madison was barely
five-feet-six-inches tall, pale complected, a poor speaker, a
perpetual hypochondriac and secret epileptic, pursued by bouts of
depression and given to dressing in black. And yet his political
achievements and intellectual legacy are monumental. Revered as the
"Father of the Constitution," Madison was also architect of the
"Virginia plan"; one of the two principal authors of The
Federalist; leader of the inaugural House of Representatives;
reluctant champion of the Bill of Rights; cofounder of the
Republican Party, Washington's ghostwriter; Jefferson's Secretary
of State; and president and commander-in-chief during America's
second war of Independence.
Nevertheless, Madison's preeminence in the rise of the modern
American state has not always been so widely recognized. And,
Matthews contends, what has been written about Madison's political
thought has been limited in scope and skewed in interpretation.
Unlike previous authors, Matthews goes well beyond Madison's
work on the Constitution to reconstruct the complete range of
Madison's political thought and intellectual development over the
course of his extensive life. In the process, he provides a
powerful critique of Madisonian politics. It is possible, he shows,
to applaud the energy, design, and intellect that went into
Madison's thought and simultaneously challenge the assumptions and
values upon which that thought rests.
Matthews's Madison understood the potentially fatal problems of
a weak, divided state; saw salvation in a strong central government
astride an expanding commercial republic; drafted that government's
fundamental charter; ran the infant regime as an advisor to two
presidents before becoming president himself; and, in retirement,
strove to control and manipulate historical interpretations of
these efforts. From "The Legislator" to chief executive to keeper
of the past and controller of the future, Madison adjusted his
political posture to suit the moment. . . . just as Machiavelli's
ideal Prince would have done. Madison's system achieved the
stability he desired, but at a price Americans should have refused
to pay.
Provocative and controversial, Matthews's study revises our
understanding of this central figure in American history. It
illuminates his profound impact upon the America imagined by the
Framers, his ongoing influence on the nation we have become, and
the tragedy of his success in foreclosing the possibility of a
radical Jeffersonian America that never was, but might have
been.
