Product Description
This ringbound book provides a reproduction of Judge Advocate General Law of War Deskbook, with coverage of the history and framework of the law of war, the legal basis for the use of force, Geneva Conventions on the wounded and sick in the field, Prisoners of War, Civilians in the Battlefield, Occupation and Post-conflict governance, means and methods of warfare, war crimes and command responsibility, human rights, and comparative law. Military operations involve complex questions related to international law. This body of law provides the framework for informed operational decisions, establishes certain limitations on the scope and nature of command options, and imposes affirmative obligations related to the conduct of U.S. forces. Commanders rely on Judge Advocates to understand fundamental principles of international law, translate those principles into an operational product, and articulate the essence of the principles when required.This Law of War Deskbook is intended to replace, in a single bound volume, similar individual outlines that had been distributed as part of the Judge Advocate Officer Graduate and Basic Courses and the Operational Law of War Course. Together with the Operational Law Handbook and Law of War Documentary Supplement, these three volumes represent the range of international and operational law subjects taught to military judge advocates. Our audience is the beginning and intermediate level practitioner; our hope is that this material will provide a solid foundation upon which further study may be built. ... Read more

Product Description
Kate O’Beirne is fed up with women who make the world worse.

Fueled by their persecution fantasies, modern feminists have been calling for radical social engineering to eliminate any differences between the sexes. They insist that any sex differences are the result of social construction, not biology. So they want boys and men to be reprogrammed and treated for their “pathology.”

Many of these women are public figures who use their notoriety in acting, pop music, television, or politics to spout unfounded bad ideas and harebrained schemes: Jane Fonda, Whoopi Goldberg, Hillary Clinton, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Maureen Dowd, and many more.

Kate O’Beirne captures the radical feminists in their own words, explains why they’ve got it all wrong, and shows why they have to be stopped—before they do even more damage to our schools, families, workplaces, and sports. BACKCOVER: “Anyone still operating under the delusion that ‘feminist’ is synonymous with ‘pro-woman’ should find this [book] a useful reality check.”
—The Wall Street Journal

“Thank you, Kate O’Beirne! With wit and smarts she drives a stake through the heart of radical feminism, naming names, and takes down the modern sisterhood in a fearless, funny, and factual way. And it’s long overdue. Know your enemy. Buy this gutsy book!”
—Rush Limbaugh

“What a romp of a book. Funny and smart and typical of the shrewd, informed analysis we relish from Kate O’Beirne.”
—Peggy Noonan, author of John Paul the Great

“Once again, Kate O’Beirne’s insights on politics and the culture make us think, laugh, and stand “up and cheer. Rolling back the influence of the false prophets of feminism and ‘grrrrrl power’ takes facts, passion, and intellect—all of which we find in this important book.”
—Laura Ingraham, author of Shut Up & Sing

“Some women protest,‘I’m a feminist, just not a radical feminist.’ Kate O’Beirne is impatient with such qualifications. She is not any kind of feminist, and when you finish her sparkling new book, Women Who Make the World Worse, you won’t be one either.”
—Mona Charen, syndicated columnist

“Women Who Make the World Worse is, to be sure, an entertaining, often humorous exposé of the modernist feminist movement, but at the same time, it’s a sober wake-up call.”
—David Limbaugh, syndicated columnist

“O’Beirne brings wit and common sense to bear on the weird and rancorous world of orthodox feminism… she has written a rousing, scintillating, and badly needed book.”
—Christina Hoff Sommers ... Read more

Same old stuff -- boring
Anyone reasonably engaged in current events these last ten years will not find much interesting or new in this book.

quite poignant
She is quite thorough in explaining much of the damages that resulted because of the women's lib movement.We have become a "two income necessary" society only because we have allowed it to happen.It's great that there are women in the workforce, but the women's lib movement really seemed to think that this was the only way in which women should participate in society and sadly sadly overlooked how necessary and essential motherhood is.The authoress (I'm sure just using this term has already bristled the hair of a femi-nazi somewhere reading this) quite nobly defends motherhood and its utmost and paramount importance to our life as a culture and society.Thankfully, most of my generation (especially the females) has seen the damage done by these over-zealous few that have made growing up for so many children very difficult.One might argue that our children, as a whole, would be better off educationally, psychologically and even spiritually if they had the time and attention only a mother can give.

LADIES DON'T NEED HIGH TESTOSTERONE WOMEN
I can't rate this highly enough. A succinct, accurate, honest analysis; a still small voice of reason and sanity against all that old feminist nonsense that unfortunately remains a gravy train for high testosterone/low integrity women.

Wake up crazy governments. Read some respectable research and get with the times and the majority. With these humourless harridans off everyone's back, we can be free to love men and children, and women too, and care for them. It is the most beautiful, powerful and fulfilling thing on earth.

Fora beautiful and erudite account of feminine life, see Domestic Tranquility: A Brief Against Feminism.

Let's have world peace, at home.

A Must Read for Oprah's Book Club
It's an excellent review of the impact the "feminist movement" has had to society over the last 35 years, especially when it comes to boys, and the overall worldwide decline in education, sports, science, and technology.For readers who have not lived through events such as Tailhook, Title IX, and feminist misdirection and false data amplified by media hype, this is a good way to understand the ripples that sometimes turn into unwanted tsunamis.It's extremely noteworthy that the original "feminists" around the turn of the century viewed abortion as "the ultimate exploitation of women".It's also interesting to see how feminists got hysterical over Lawrence Summers words in 2005, but now that he's a member of President Obama's administration, he's a genius.Of course the Clinton episode with Monica Lewinski had nothing to do with sexual intimidation in the workplace by a supervisor!!!There are some humorous events, like Maxine Waters explaining that, "I have to march because my mother could not have an abortion" or when MIT professor Nancy Hopkins explained that, "I would have blacked out or thrown up" when Lawrence Summers suggested that there might be differences in males and females, thereby confirming an innate difference, or the projection that "the last male to earn a bachelor's degree will walk across the stage at final ceremonies in 2144".If equal opportunity is something more than a nodding moment for an Oprah audience, this book should be a must read.

Humanism vs. Feminism
In the Sixties I supported my girlfriend's (and eventual wife's) interest in and support for feminism. Since then both she and I - no longer married but still friends - wonder how feminism was changed from an essentially humanist improvement in society to the divisive, hate-filled, attack on men, families, and children. The word "feminist" needs to be discarded and feminists shunned. Then, perhaps, can our American Society mature and re-assert our humanist roots.
Kate O'Beirne, with this book, helps us in this endeavor. She speaks in support of all humans. ... Read more

Product Description
Readers familiar with the James Hilton novel, Goodbye, Mr. Chips, about the life of a loveable and venerated British boarding school professor of Latin, would find much to compare with W. D. Mooney, except Mooney was real, more versatile and more venerated. The comparison was apparent to one writer for the Memphis Appeal when, in 1938, he wrote about a most unusual retirement party given by former students of Mooney and titled the article, "No More Goodbye, Mr. Chips." Mooney had just completed over 50 years of teaching, coaching and being several schools' headmaster...and did it without missing a single day of school for illness. Those present or sending telegrams included the very top of business and military leaders from around the country. He was among the earliest graduates of the famed Webb School before it was removed from Culleoka to Bell Buckle, Tennessee. He was founder of Battle Ground Academy in Franklin, Tennessee, the Mooney School of Murfreesboro and subsequently Harriman, Tennessee, and for many years the Academic Headmaster of Riverside Military Academy, Gainesville, Georgia. He was a scholar of the highest order; author of a widely used Greek textbook, national lecturer on Latin and Greek, professor of mathematics in college before beginning the line of preparatory boys' schools that he founded. His students were accepted on his recommendation alone into such prestigious universities as Vanderbilt, Princeton, Yale, Harvard, and West Point. Yet Mooney also had a lifelong love of sports. He introduced football to the secondary schools of Tennessee, and coached a prep school team that beat many college teams of the day. He played championship tennis, was an excellent swimmer, and shot his age in golf when 80 years old!Hardback with dust cover, 194 pages. ... Read more

Product Description
With the outbreak of War in 1914, many of those who had been pupils or members of staff at Bablake in the years leading up to the declaration of war enlisted. The Cadet Corps had already been formed giving those involved an appreciation of military training. Staff and pupils from the Cadet Corps naturally moved from playing soldier to the real thing. Coventry was a centre of munitions' production and most admirable efforts were made in assisting in the production of shell cases for munitions and pupils also attended local war factories to render help. Collections enabled comforts to be sent to the serving Old Boys and one of the school's soccer pitches was turned over to growing produce.Throughout the war the school endeavoured to carry on as usual; Christmas concerts were still held, the main difference being the attendance of wounded soldiers. Sports continued during the war and reports took on a new flavour making reference to military terminology: footballers needed "heavy artillery" and cricketers need to "reconnoitre" the ground. In the four years of the war 867 Old Boys and staff served, 96 of these fell.The school war memorial was dedicated on the 10th February 1921 as a constant reminder to the "greatest act of devotion which Bablake has ever recorded". This book explores the school's role during this pivotal period and traces the stories of those who died in the Great War. ... Read more
