The Kennedy tapes : inside the White House during the Cuban missile crisis by Ernest R May( Book )

25 editions published between 1997 and 2002 in English and held by 2,465 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

"October 1962: the United States and the Soviet Union stood eyeball to eyeball, each brandishing enough nuclear weapons to obliterate each other's civilization. It was one of the most dangerous moments in world history. Day by day, for two weeks, an executive committee formed around elements of President Kennedy's National Security Council debated what to do, twice coming to the brink of attacking Soviet military units in Cuba--units equipped for nuclear retaliation. And through it all, unknown to any of the participants except the President himself--and possibly his brother Robert--tape was rolling, capturing for posterity the deliberations that might have ended the world as we know it. These are the full and authenticated transcripts of those audio recordings."--Jacket

Why people don't trust government( Book )

14 editions published between 1997 and 1998 in English and held by 1,024 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

"Bringing together essays by leading Harvard scholars, this book explores the roots of mistrust. It first examines government's current scope, its actual performance, and citizens' perceptions of its performance. It then assesses many possible explanations that have been offered for the decline of trust, including the end of the Cold War, elevated expectations following World War II, a weakened economy, the effects of globalization, resentment over political scandals, and incompetence of bureaucrats."--Cover

Dealing with dictators : dilemmas of U.S. diplomacy and intelligence analysis, 1945-1990( Book )

10 editions published between 2005 and 2006 in English and held by 449 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

"This book illustrates the chronic dilemmas inherent in U.S. dealings with dictators under conditions of uncertainty and moral ambiguity. The authors' insights shed new light on critical episodes in U.S. foreign policy and provide a basis for understanding the dilemmas that U.S. decision-makers confronted. The chapters do not focus on whether U.S. leaders made the "right" or "wrong" decisions, but instead seek to deepen our understanding of how uncertainty permeated the process and whether decision-makers and their aides asked the right questions. This approach makes the book invaluable to scholars and students of government and history, and to readers interested in the general subject of how intelligence analysis interacts with policymaking."--Jacket

The DHS must empower nationally coordinated local efforts to provide a networked, decentralized information system. The Department of Justice and the FBI should be the lead agencies for law enforcement, but the DHS should be the lead agency for shaping domestic intelligence products to inform policymakers. The president is accountable for creating guidelines for agencies to provide a balance between developing domestic intelligence and preserving civil liberties

Making democracy work : a brief history of twentieth-century federal executive reorganization by Brian Balogh( Book )

2 editions published in 2002 in English and held by 23 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

"Making Democracy Work" is the first working paper in the Miller Center of Public Affairs series in American Political Development. It seeks to inform the current discussion of the proposed Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through a better understanding of past efforts at executive reorganization and by identifying patterns that recur over time. This historical approach also identifies distinctions between the Homeland Security plan and past instances of reorganization. In short, it is the objective of this report to place what President George W. Bush has called "the most extensive reorganization of the Federal government since the 1940s" in historical context. We believe that a better grasp of history will allow participants in the debate to formulate a set of questions that engage past experience and expand the nation's ability to plan for a future that nobody can predict with any degree of certainty
