From the capture of Sidney Reilly; the "Ace of Spies;" by Lenin's Bolsheviks in 1925 to the deportation from the U.S. of Anna Chapman; the "Redhead Under the Bed;" in 2010; Kremlin and Western spymasters have battled for supremacy for nearly a century. Edward Lucas persuasively demonstrates that "for most of the past decades; the Kremlin's spymasters have run rings around their Western adversaries"-and continue to do so well after the Cold War ended. Lucas reveals unknown triumphs and disasters of Western intelligence; providing the background for the new world of industrial and political espionage. Once the threat from Moscow was international communism; now it comes from the siloviki; Russia's ruthless "men of power." "The outcome;" argues Lucas; "will determine whether the West brings Russia toward its standards of liberty; legality; and cooperation; or whether Russia will shape the West's future as we accommodate (or even adopt) the authoritarian crony capitalism that is the Moscow regime's hallmark."

An invaluable resourceBy Judy KayeVerna Myers takes key points and tips from her awesome book; Moving Diversity Forward: How To Go From Well-Meaning to Well-Doing; and condenses them into a concise; informative; insightful and entertaining pocket guide. Using personal stories; business examples; and psychology research; she addresses all the diversity challenges that can arise in the workplace; around the family table; or even in the supermarket. Myers offers cogent analyses of how racism and prejudice influence all of us; and offers positive and practical suggestions for being effective in our culturally diverse world. I bought 10 copies to give to colleagues and clients; and I'm sure I'll order more.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Awesome BookBy Brenda BeasleyThis book made me take a second look at myself and want to make changes in my thinking when it comes to different types of people and situations. I suggested this book for my book club; the discussion was about our different isms and biases that we weren't even aware we had. I especially enjoyed the historically advantage and disadvantaged chart which will allows you to determine which group you belong to. The author choose one-up and on-down for each category which I found interesting. This is a book I can refer back to for help in my daily walk in life. What if I say the Wrong Thing is a book for everyone and I have suggested it to family and friends.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
