Kim Jong Un and the bomb : survival and deterrence in North Korea / by Panda, Ankit,author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 321-360) and index.Part one: Survival. A new emperor ; History's trials ; Deterrence -- Part two: Testing, testing. Building the bomb ; Deterrence close to home ; Fire from the sea ; To Guam and beyond ; Going intercontinental ; Fear, command, control -- Part three: Nuclear coexistence?. The arsonist and the firefighter ; A dangerous coexistence -- Appendix: Complete list of U.S. intelligence community designations for North Korea."In September 2017, North Korea shocked the world by exploding the most powerful nuclear device tested anywhere in 25 years. Months earlier, it had conducted the first test flight of a missile capable of ranging much of the United States. By the end of that year, Kim Jong Un, the reclusive state's ruler, declared that his nuclear deterrent was complete. Today, North Korea's nuclear weapons stockpile and ballistic missile arsenal continues to grow, presenting one of the most serious challenges to international security to date. Internal regime propaganda has called North Korea's nuclear forces the country's 'treasured sword,' underscoring the cherished place of these weapons in national strategy. Fiercely committed to self-reliance, Kim remains determined to avoid unilateral disarmament. Kim Jong Un and the Bomb tells the story of how North Korea, once derided in the 1970s as a 'fourth-rate pipsqueak' of a country by President Richard Nixon, came to credibly threaten the American homeland by November 2017. Ankit Panda explores the contours of North Korea's nuclear capabilities, the developmental history of its weapons programs, and the prospects for disarming or constraining Kim's arsenal. With no signs that North Korea's total disarmament is imminent over the next years, or even decade, Panda explores the consequences of a nuclear-armed North Korea for the United States, South Korea, and the world"--Adapted from jacket flap.

Never in finer company : the men of the Great War's lost battalion / by Lengel, Edward G.,author.(CARDINAL)272735;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 339-342) and index.Prologue: Four men -- Playing the game -- War's story -- The country awakens -- The adventure begins -- First blood - Through the forest gate -- Into the pocket -- Surrounded -- Friendly fire -- The test -- The quality of courage -- The crisis -- Heroes -- Unknown soldiers -- Homecomings."It was one of the most heroic events in American military history. Here is the larger-than-life story of World War I's "Lost Battalion" and the men who survived the ordeal, triumphed in battle, and fought the demons that lingered. In the first week of October 1918, six hundred men attacked into Europe's forbidding Argonne Forest. Against all odds, they surged through enemy lines--alone. They were soon surrounded and besieged. As they ran out of ammunition, water, and food, the doughboys withstood constant bombardment and relentless enemy assaults. Seven days later, only 194 soldiers from the original unit walked out of the forest. The stand of the US Army's "Lost Battalion" remains an unprecedented display of heroism under fire. Never in Finer Company tells the stories of four men whose lives were forever changed by the ordeal: Major Charles Whittlesey, a lawyer dedicated to serving his men at any cost; Captain George McMurtry, a New York stockbroker who becomes a tower of strength under fire; Corporal Alvin York, a country farmer whose famous exploits help rescue his beleaguered comrades; and Damon Runyon, an intrepid newspaper man who interviews the survivors and weaves their experiences into the American epic. Emerging from the patriotic frenzy that sent young men "over there," each of these four men trod a unique path to the October days that engulfed them--and continued to haunt them as they struggled to find peace. Uplifting and compelling, Never in Finer Company is a deeply moving and dramatic story on an epic scale."--provided by publisher.
