Enter the Past Tense
My Secret Life as a CIA Assassin
by Roland W. Haas
ISBN: 9781597970860
$24.95 Hardcover
Potomac Books
While at Purdue University on an NROTC
scholarship in 1971, Roland Haas was recruited
to become a CIA deep clandestine operative.
Enter the Past Tense recounts Haas's
adventures. A true story that pulls no punches,
this book also chronicles the author's descent
into, and recovery from, alcoholism that
resulted from the stress of this extraordinary
life. It is an eye-opening look at the dark, but
many would argue necessary, side of intelligence
work. |

Kremlin Rising, Updated Edition
Vladimir Putin's Russia and the End of
Revolution
by Peter Baker & Susan Glasser
ISBN: 9781597971225
$18.95 Paperback
Potomac Books
With the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union,
Russia launched itself on a fitful transition to
Western-style democracy and a market economy.
But a decade later, Boris Yeltsin's handpicked
successor--Vladimir Putin, a self-described
childhood hooligan turned KGB officer--resolved
to end the revolution. Kremlin Rising
goes behind the scenes of contemporary Russia to
offer a sobering picture of its leader and the
direction in which the country is now headed. |

Why Insurgencies Win
by Jeffrey Record
ISBN: 9781597970907
$24.95 Hardcover

Beating Goliath examines the phenomenon
of victories by the weak over the strong--more
specifically, insurgencies that succeeded

insurgent wars from 1775 to the present and

His persuasive logic and clear writing make this
timely book a must read for scholars,
policymakers, military strategists, and anyone
interested in the Iraq War's outcome. |

Red Partisan
Memoirs of a Soviet Resistance Fighter on the
Eastern Front
by Nikolai E. Obryn'ba
ISBN: 9781597971256
$26.95 Hardcover
Potomac Books
The epic World War II battles between Nazi
Germany and the Soviet Union are the subject of
a vast literature, but little has been published
in English on the experiences of ordinary
Soviets who were sucked into a bitter conflict
that marked their lives forever. This is why
Nikolai Obryn'ba's unforgettable, intimate
memoir is so valuable. His perceptive,
uncompromising account lays bare the everyday
reality of war on the Eastern Front. |

The Forgotten Terrorist
Sirhan Sirhan and the Assassination of Robert F.
Kennedy
by Mel Ayton
ISBN: 9781597970792
$29.95 Hardcover
Potomac Books
Mel Ayton profiles Sirhan Sirhan and presents a
wealth of evidence about his fanatical
Palestinian nationalism and his hatred for
Robert F. Kennedy that motivated the
assassination in the summer of 1968. Ayton
convincingly shows Sirhan was the lone assassin
whose politically motivated act was a forerunner
of present-day terrorism. The Forgotten
Terrorist is the definitive book on the
assassination that rocked the nation. |
