The Limits of U.S. Military Capability: Lessons from Vietnam and Iraq

In The Limits of U.S. Military Capability, Lebovic shows how political and psychological factors trumped U.S. military superiority in Vietnam and Iraq, where inappropriate strategies, low stakes, and unrealistic goals mired the United States military in protracted, no-win conflicts.
Lebovic contends that the United States is at a particular disadvantage when fighting a counterinsurgency without the full support of the host government; when leveraging various third parties (the adversary's foreign allies, societal leaders, and indigenous populations); when attempting to build coalitions and nations while involved in combat; and when sustaining government and public support at home when costs rise and benefits decline.
Lebovic cautions against involving the U.S. military in operations without first considering U.S. stakes and suggests that the military take a less-is-more approach when choosing to employ force. Ambitious goals bring higher costs, unexpected results, diminished options, and a greater risk of failure.
Rejecting the heavy-handed approach that is typical of most comparisons between the Vietnam and Iraq wars, The Limits of U.S. Military Capability carefully assesses evidence to develop lessons applicable to other conflicts

Financial Business Intelligence

From the Publisher
Being competitive in the Information Age demands that organizations not simply collect data, but that they excel using that data to drive better decisions, faster. Financial Business Intelligence: Trends, Technology, Software Selection, and Implementation serves as a good starting point for finance aspects of leading edge business intelligence efforts, efforts that are necessary to win in today's competitive markets." (Bob Lokken, CEO ProClarity Corp.)
This book is a must-have reference for any company that is serious about creating value through business intelligence. Like his previous books on finance, Mr. Rasmussen's approach is straightforward, comprehensive, and objective. Companies that choose not to learn the language of financial business intelligence will be illiterate and unable to communicate value to its shareholders and business community. Mr. Rasmussen's book is the ultimate lexicon for financial and business professionals interested in establishing a dialogue.
Mr. Rasmussen is keenly aware of the revolution that is coming in financial business intelligence. Today, his book is a must-read for financial and IT professionals, but tomorrow, his book will be a survival guide for all business executives.
Mr. Rasmussen has put a roadmap into the hands of every financial professional who has been lost or wanted guidance in conceiving a system and strategy for financial business intelligence.
Mr. Rasmussen has the gift of genius in distilling the complex and abstruse into the simple and obvious. His practical book on financial business intelligence leverages the power of organized thinking and processes into corporate value creation.
This book is a significant milestone in business intelligence and a must-have reference for any business professional interested in developing financial business intelligence tools that can be readily adopted by an organization. (Edward Hwang Director of Financial Planning Earthlink, Inc.)

Hamilton Bean Ph.D, "No More Secrets: Open Source Information and the Reshaping of U.S. Intelligence"

Since 9/11, U.S. intelligence organizations have grappled with the use of "open source" information derived from unclassified material, including international newspapers, television, radio, and websites. They have struggled as well with the idea of sharing information with international and domestic law enforcement partners. The apparent conflict between this openness and the secrecy inherent in intelligence provides an opportunity to reconsider what intelligence is, how it is used, and how citizens and their government interact in the interests of national security. That is the goal of No More Secrets: Open Source Information and the Reshaping of U.S. Intelligence. http://www.filesonic.com/file/2638296344/0313391556NoSecrets.pdf or http://www.wupload.com/file/467203051/0313391556NoSecrets.pdf
