Produktbeschreibung
As the first self-help book on national security, 'Searching for True Community' is an entertaining introduction that leaves the reader better informed on world events today, and what may be in the news tomorrow. Our goal is to spark an interest, through creative storytelling, by turning what many of us see as a dry subject into one that is relatable to all of us. For most of us national security is boring. We hand national security over to the Sunday morning talk shows because it's the perfect place for boring people, in boring gray suits, to discuss a boring topic. When the subject comes up, we start flopping and flailing around like a fish out of water. It's not our fault. Most of us haven't served in the military or some government agency. We're not spies of Navy SEALs. We're accountants and deliveryman, and students and homemakers. But you know that even if national security doesn't touch you today, it can touch you tomorrow. You know in your gut there is a cost to burying our heads in the sand because there are men and women representing our values around the world. And you know our values mean little if we can't express them. So, you picked up this book for a little help and here's your first tip - you are already a national security expert. No, after reading this book, Anderson Cooper isn't going to use you as his national security analyst, and you most likely won't be invited as a consultant to the Joint Chiefs of Staff. But you will discover you can trust yourself to not only engage in the national security debate, but also challenge the so-called experts CNN keeps in speed dial. We hope you enjoy it!
