America's Strategic Blunders: Intelligence Analysis and National Security Policy 1936-1991
University Park PA: Penn State University Press 2001. 367pp. The book begins with a look back at the role of U. S. intelligence during World War II from Pearl Harbor through the plot against Hitler and the D-day invasion to the unconditional surrender of Japan and reveals how better use of the intelligence available could have saved many lives and shortened the war. The following chapters dealing with the Cold War disclose what information and advice U. S. intelligence analysts passed on to policy makers and also what sometimes bitter policy debates occurred within the Communist camp concerning Vietnam the Bay of Pigs the Cuban missile crisis the turmoil in Eastern Europe the Six-Day and Yom Kippur wars in the Middle East and the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan. In many ways this is a story of missed opportunities the U. S. government had to conduct a more responsible foreign policy that could have avoided large losses of life and massive expenditures on arms buildups. Previous owner name crossed out on ffep. Text otherwise clean. 1st Edition. Cloth. Near Fine/Very Good. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Penn State University Press Hardcover

CONTENTS: Prologue; PART ONE The Crime; PART TWO The Investigation; PART THREE The Arrest and the Death List; PART FOUR The Trial; Afterword; Acknowledgments. SYNOPSIS: A spellbinding true-life story of greed sexual obsession manipulation and murder. In the dark hours before dawn on March 19 1985 in a quiet house on a quiet street in Garden Grove California 23-year-old Linda Marie Brown died a most unquiet death. Beautiful and blond she was the wife of a millionaire computer genius the mother of an infant daughter a woman who apparently possessed everything she ever dreamed of. And yet someone fired two bullets between her breasts as she slept in her own bed unaware of the danger around her. The cruel crime seemed to offer no rational explanation. The only two people in the house were Linda's 17-year-old sister Patti Bailey and her 14-year-old stepdaughter Cinnamon Brown. David Brown Linda's husband who was absent at the time of the murder wept bitter tears when he learned he had lost the woman he had loved since she was fifteen. Detectives questioned all three and one was convicted of the crime. The case was closed. Still hard questions went unanswered. Veteran investigators Fred McLean and Jay Newell had seen the bleakest aspects of human behavior in their years in law enforcement. They knew that things were seldom what they appeared to be. Even so they had never encountered an investigation as challenging as the Linda Brown murder case. Who had wanted her dead And why And who had actually pulled the trigger of the death gun Each path they took led to another more circuitous trail. As they disentangled lies and truths they found that Linda Brown had lived and died in a world of perverse love dark secrets and evil machinations hidden behind a blandly normal fa�ade. They unearthed proof of sexual obsession greed lust and unimaginable mind games. At length their investigation resulted in arrests. In gripping courtroom testimony the terrible truth behind Linda Brown's murder finally emerged. Even so it was a perilous game. Newell and Orange County Deputy District Attorney Jeoffrey Robinson targeted by a sociopathic killer who would stop at nothing to escape punishment came close to losing their own lives. If You Really Loved Me is a chillingly detailed re-creation of a true story with not one but many dimensions of evil a convoluted tale of desire and death as only Ann Rule can tell it. It is also the story of law enforcement officers discovering that the apparently motiveless crime they were determined to solve hid motives as horrifying as the crime itself. Ann Rule has no equal in the delineation of the criminal mind. Her book is a chilling look at the darkest side of human nature as well as a revelation of the courage it takes to combat evil. Ann Rule author of the best-selling The Stranger Beside Me Possession and Small Sacrifices is one of the foremost true-crime writers in America today. A former Seattle policewoman she has published 1400 articles and seven books on homicide cases.
