199988394London: Pluto Press 1999. Presumed First Edition First printing. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. ix 1 276 pages. Maps. Notes. Appendix I and II. Index. Inscribed by the author on the fep. The inscription reads: "Washington D.C. June 16 1999 For Phyllis & Bob Oakley in friendship - & with many memories. John Cooley". Robert Bigger Oakley March 12 1931 – December 10 2014 was an American diplomat whose 34-year career 1957–1991 as a Foreign Service Officer included appointments as United States Ambassador to Zaire Somalia and Pakistan and in the early 1990s as a special envoy during the American involvement in Somalia. In January 1995 he joined the Institute for National Strategic Studies at the National Defense University. John Kent Cooley November 25 1927 – August 6 2008 was an American journalist and author who specialized in islamist groups and the Middle East. Based in Athens he worked as a radio and off-air television correspondent for ABC News and was a long-time contributing editor to the Christian Science Monitor. Cooley was one of only a handful of Western journalists widely regarded and trusted in the Middle East as an expert on the area's history and politics. He interviewed several of the region's heads of state and was personally acquainted with the senior leadership of the PLO. His many awards include the Council on Foreign Relations' Fellowship for American Foreign Correspondents and the coveted George Polk Award for distinguished career achievement in international reporting. He was a part of the ABC News Prime Time Live team that won a 1990 Emmy for its investigation into the December 21 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103. The book presents Cooley's account of United States policies and alliances from 1979 to 1989 in the Middle East the flaws and the lacunae inherent in US handling of the affairs and their contribution into the emergence of a form of terrorism which continues to affect several regions of the World. Cooley has spent decades in the Middle East and the book is the result of his studies of the subject matter and his interaction with a number of administrators diplomats politicians and the common people. To oppose the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 the US formed an extraordinary anti-communist alliance with militant Islamic forces in Central Asia. In this controversial book John Cooley provides a behind-the-scenes account of this alliance and of how the CIA planned and ran the "holy war" in Afghanistan. Cooley describes the development of US foreign policy and CIA covert activity in the 1980s which facilitated the training and arming of almost a quarter of a million Islamic mercenaries drawn from across the Arab world. Cooley marshals evidence to demonstrate the devastating consequences of this training once the mercenaries returned to their own countries - from the assassination of Sadat the destabilization of Algeria and Chechenya and the emergence of the Taliban to the bombings of the World Trade Center and the US embassies in Africa. Cooley examines the crucial role of Pakistan's military intelligence organization; uncovers China's involvement and its aftermath; the extent of Saudi financial support; the role of "America's most wanted man" the guerrilla leader Osama bin Laden; the BCCI connection; and the CIA's cynical promotion of drug traffic in the Golden Crescent.

1953016583Boston Massachusetts U.S.A.: Little Brown & Co 1953. Book. Good. Hardcover. Signed by Authors. 1st Edition. Hard cover copy of the first edition some damp staining along the lower boards front and rear interior gutters are darkened else a good tight square copy with some offsetting from the binders glue that darkens the gutters of the front and rear endpapers. This copy is inscribed by General John K. Herr who "was a career American soldier. Herr served for 40 years in the United States Cavalry and participated in the final battles of World War I as chief of staff of the 30th Division but is best remembered for being the last Chief of U. S. Cavalry in history. In March 1938 Major General Herr was appointed Chief of Cavalry and became a fierce advocate of traditional horse cavalry troops. He defended cavalry as an independent branch of service and opposed conversion of mounted troops into mechanized or armored units. Herr's affection to horse "somewhat quixotic" for the period temporarily made him "a hero and a standard bearer" to generations of officers indoctrinated in cavalry tactics" Signed copies of this title and quite uncommon. What makes this copy of special interest is that the full page inscription by Herr is to a supporter of the Army Polo team and speaks to their great victory over the British team at Meadow Brook in 1923. At that time polo was very popular in the US and the 1923 match would only increase the popularity. "The four selected for the Army Team included two prominent cavalry officers of the day Captain of the Team Major Arthur H. "Jingles" Wilson a 6th Cavalry Medal of Honor recipient from "knocking out the Moros" in 1909 and Major John K. Herr a highly rated five-goal player who became the last Army Chief of Cavalry in 1938. Although a strong squad and the best the U.S. Army had to offer the British were heavily favored to win being rated some 14 goals higher per match than the U.S. team." "The opening match for the best of three series was held on 12 September 1923 amidst great excitement. Before some ten thousand spectators the British Army Team scored only 30 seconds after the beginning of play but the U.S. squad battled back to win an upset 10-7 led by Team Captain Wilson and "Herr and Beard stroking splendidly saving many points by their courage in checking the British attack."15 Secretary of War Weeks and "officers and buck privates" in the stands celebrated the victory as the Americans at a gallop style of play seemed to baffle the slower moving British.16 Four days later the Empire struck back with a 12-10 win against the American officers with "Black Jack" Pershing and the U.S. Military Academy First Class in attendance as spectators on a Saturday.17 Thus a third and decisive match was to determine the first ever International Military Polo Championship. Major Herr wrote home on 18 September that "Today we must do battle with our backs against the wall" before heading to the field to ride polo ponies Liggett Starlight Meld and Spaghetti against the UK.18 Continuing their hurry up offensive style of play the Americans attempted to score quickly before their mounts were exhausted. Herr and Brown were the offensive stars of the Army squad with four goals apiece as the American officers ran away with a 10-3 decisive victory over the best of United Kingdom international polo.".
