“Matthew Levitt is a recognized authority on Hezbollah and its activities, both in the Levant and globally. Hezbollah: The Global Footprint of Lebanon’s Party of God fills a vital gap in understanding the international dimensions of Hezbollah, its reach, and its capacities for terrorism worldwide.”

Charles Allen, former assistant director of central intelligence for collection, CIA

“Hezbollah is perhaps the world’s most capable group. terrorism expert Matthew Levitt offers a comprehensive and fascinating assessment of Hezbollah’s network outside the Lebanese theater, exposing its operations and fundraising apparatus in Asia, Latin America, europe, and even the united states.”

daniel Byman, professor, Center for Security Studies, Georgetown University

“Matthew Levitt has made a significant contribution to public understanding of Hezbollah’s worldwide operations. He has shone a bright light into some of the darkest corners of the group’s activities overseas.”

richard Barrett, former head of MI6/SIS/British Intelligence’s Counter Terrorism Department and coordinator of the United Nations Al-Qaeda-Taliban Monitoring Team

Hezbollah: The Global Footprint of Lebanon’s Party of God is the first thorough examination of Hezbollah’s covert activities beyond Lebanon’s borders, including its financial and logisti-cal support networks and its criminal and terrorist operations worldwide. Based on extensive research and declassified intel-ligence, Matthew Levitt traces the development of Hezbollah’s global terrorist network, from the bombings of US and French military forces in Beirut in the early 1980s to plots in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and the Americas from the 1990s through the present, providing a needed assessment of the threat posed by Hezbollah today.

MAttHeW LevItt is a senior fellow and director of The Washington Institute for Near East Policy’s Stein Program on Counterterrorism and Intelligence. Previously, Levitt served as the deputy assistant secretary for Intelligence and Analysis at the US Department of the Treasury, as an FBI counterterrorism analyst, and as an adviser on counterterror-ism to the US State Department. Levitt has taught at Johns Hopkins University/SAIS, held fellowships with the Combating Terrorism Center at the US Military Academy and the Homeland Security Policy Institute at George Washington University, and is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. He is the author of Hamas: Politics, Charity, and Terrorism in the Service of Jihad (Yale University Press, 2006).

intelliGenCe and sUrprise attaCkFailure and success from pearl Harbor to 9/11 and BeyondErik J. Dahl

How can the United States avoid a future surprise attack on the scale of 9/11 or Pearl Harbor, in an era when such devastating attacks can come not only from nation states, but also from ter-rorist groups or cyber enemies?

Intelligence and Surprise Attack examines why surprise attacks often succeed even though, in most cases, warnings had been available beforehand. Erik J. Dahl challenges the conventional wisdom about intelligence failure, which holds that attacks suc-ceed because important warnings get lost amid noise or because intelligence officials lack the imagination and collaboration to “connect the dots” of available information. Comparing cases of intelligence failure with intelligence success, Dahl finds that the key to success is not more imagination or better analysis, but better acquisition of precise, tactical-level intelligence combined with the presence of decision makers who are willing to listen to and act on the warnings they receive from their intelligence staff.

The book offers a new understanding of classic cases of conventional and terrorist attacks such as Pearl Harbor, the Battle of Midway, and the bombings of US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. The book also presents a comprehensive analy-sis of the intelligence picture before the 9/11 attacks, making use of new information available since the publication of the 9/11 Commission Report and challenging some of that report’s findings.

erIk J. dAHL is assistant professor of national security affairs at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California. He is also a faculty member of the Center for Homeland Defense and Security (CHDS) at the Naval Postgraduate School. Previously, he was a fellow at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at Harvard University, an instructor of joint military operations at the Naval War College, and served as an intelligence officer in the United States Navy.

aMeriCan spiesespionage against the united states from the Cold War to the presentMichael J. Sulick

What’s your secret?

American Spies presents the stunning histories of more than forty Americans who spied against their country during the past six decades. Michael Sulick, former head of the CIA’s clandestine service, illustrates through these stories—some familiar, others much less well known—the common threads in the spy cases and the evolution of American attitudes toward espionage since the onset of the Cold War. After highlighting the accounts of many who have spied for traditional adversaries such as Russian and Chinese intelligence services, Sulick shows how spy hunters today confront a far broader spectrum of threats not only from hostile states but also substate groups, including those conduct-ing cyberespionage.

The book is the sequel to Sulick’s popular Spying in America: Espionage from the Revolutionary War to the Dawn of the Cold War. Together they serve as a basic introduction to understand-ing America’s vulnerability to espionage, which has oscillated between peacetime complacency and wartime vigilance, and continues to be shaped by the inherent conflict between our nation’s security needs and our commitment to the preservation of civil liberties.

MICHAeL J. suLICk is a retired intelligence operations officer who was director of the CIA’s National Clandestine Service (2007–10), chief of CIA counterintelligence (2002–04), and chief of the Central Eurasia Division (1999–2002), among other assignments during his twenty-eight-year career. He holds a PhD in comparative literature from the City University of New York.

“this and sulick’s first volume describe some of most damag-ing spies in our history with gripping accounts of their motives, espionage, and the temper of the times. the detailed, often compelling accounts fascinate. But more important, they sound a loud warning buzzer to once again challenge our near chronic disbelief—even today—about the extent of spying directed against America and the perennial readiness of some to betray it.”

peter earnest, executive director, International Spy Museum

“In this, his second volume of Spying in America, retired intel-ligence officer and historian Michael sulick presents vividly to readers how America, as a primary intelligence target of foreign countries and groups, protects against these attacks within the competing democratic challenges of national security and civil liberties. sulick’s extensive research gives a professional’s up-to-date analysis of russsian, Chinese, Cuban successes, and introduces us to the newer threats from terrorist organizations and cyber espionage.”

waterAsia’s new BattlegroundBrahma Chellaney

winner of the Asia Society’s bernard Schwartz 2012 book Award

The battles of yesterday were fought over land. Those of today are over energy. But the battles of tomorrow may be over water. Nowhere is that danger greater than in water-distressed Asia. Asia is home to many of the world’s great rivers and lakes, but its huge population and exploding economic and agricultural demand for water make it the most water-scarce continent on a per capita basis.

Water: Asia’s New Battleground is a pioneering study of Asia’s murky water politics and the relationships between freshwater, peace, and security. In this unique and highly readable book, Brahma Chellaney expertly paints a larger picture of water across Asia, highlights the security implications of resource-linked ter-ritorial disputes, and proposes real strategies to avoid conflict and more equitably share Asia’s water resources.

BrAHMA CHeLLAney, one of India’s leading strategic thinkers and analysts, is a professor at the Centre for Policy Research in New Delhi. He has served as a member of the Policy Advisory Group headed by the foreign minister of India, and as an adviser to India’s National Security Council. He has held appointments at Harvard University, the Brookings Institution, Johns Hopkins University, and the Australian National University. He is the author of five previous books, including Asian Juggernaut: The Rise of China, India, and Japan.

Its main con-tribution is in synthesizing the many trickles of the internation-al discussion on Asia and water into one single current.”

vyinG for allah’s voteunderstanding Islamic parties, political violence, and extremism in pakistanHaroon K. Ullah

What is driving political extremism in Pakistan? How should the US and other Western nations engage with Islamist politi-cal parties in nations where they hold both political and moral authority? Haroon K. Ullah analyzes the origins, ideologies, bases of support, and electoral successes of the largest and most influ-ential Islamic confessional parties in Pakistan. He assesses what drives them and what separates the moderates from the extrem-ists. Pakistan’s current democratic transition will hinge on how well Islamic parties contribute to civilian rule, shun violence, and mobilize support for political reform.

HAroon k. uLLAH’s work focuses on democratization, secu-rity studies, and political party dynamics. He was trained at Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government, where he served as a Senior Fellow at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs and completed his MPA in International Development. He holds a PhD in political science and public policy from the University of Michigan. Ullah is currently a staff adviser to the US State Department and was a member of the late Ambassador Richard C. Holbrooke’s policy team on Pakistan and Afghanistan.

JUst warAuthority, tradition, and practiceAnthony F. Lang Jr., Cian O’Driscoll, and John Williams, Editors

The just war tradition is central to the practice of international relations, in questions of war, peace, and the conduct of war in the contemporary world, but surprisingly few scholars have questioned the authority of the tradition as a source of moral guidance for modern statecraft. Just War: Authority, Tradition, and Practice brings together many of the most important contemporary writers on just war to consider questions of authority surrounding the just war tradition. The chapters in this collection offer a compelling reassessment of the authority issue’s centrality in how we can, do, and ought to think about war in contemporary global politics.

“In the complex, multi-polar international environment of the twenty-first century, who has authority to wage war? this book offers a fascinating, varied, and thought-provoking set of answers to this difficult but immensely important question.”

david Fisher, Kings College London

“the question of authority has sat at the heart of questions about the morality of war and peace for centuries. Combining forensic understanding of the history and complexity of this question with keen awareness of contemporary political chal-lenges, this volume builds understanding of past traditions and sheds new light on today’s moral dilemmas. It is essential reading for all those concerned about the moral questions posed by war.”

work and the welfare statestreet-Level organizations and Workfare politicsEvelyn Z. Brodkin and Gregory Marston, Editors

Work and the Welfare State places street-level organizations at the analytic center of welfare state politics, policy, and manage-ment. This volume offers a critical examination of efforts to change the welfare state to a workfare state by looking at on-the-ground issues in six countries: the US, UK, Australia, Denmark, Germany, and the Netherlands. An international group of schol-ars contribute organizational studies that shed new light on old debates about policies of workfare and activation. As a major contribution to expanding the conceptualization of how organi-zations matter to policy and political transformation, this book will be of special interest to all public management and public policy scholars and students.

oil and wilderness in alaskanatural resources, environmental protection, and national policy dynamics

George J. Busenberg

Colliding environmental and development interests have shaped national policy reforms supporting both oil development and environmental protection in Alaska. Oil and Wilderness in Alaska examines three significant national policy reform efforts—the development of the Trans-Alaska pipeline, the establishment of protected natural areas through the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act, and the reform of the marine oil trade in Alaska after the Exxon Valdez disaster—through a theoretical framework that illuminates the processes and consequences of these reforms at the state, national, and international levels.

“the conjunction of oil, wilderness, and politics has defined civic, economic, and political life in Alaska since the late 1960s. george Busenberg draws on the rich history of oil production in Alaska to better understand the political dynamics of oil and of natural resource policy in a state regarded as our nation’s

‘last frontier’ and as a land ripe for development.”

thomas Birkland, William T. Kretzer Professor of Public Policy and Associate Dean for Research, Extension, Engagement and Economic Development, North Carolina State University

“this book presents the results of years of archival research supplemented with interviews to present a well-informed and empirically rich history of several substantial policy develop-ments: the construction and steady operations of the trans-Alaska pipeline; the decision in the late 1970s to put aside a huge amount of land in the largest single extension of wilder-ness protection in us history; the impact of the exxon valdez catastrophe on subsequent policymaking regarding maritime shipment of oil; the politics of the Arctic national Wildlife refuge; and efforts to protect polar bears on the north slope of Alaska in the face of climate change through an innovative use of the endangered species Act. It will be seen for years as the most comprehensive treatment of environmental politics in Alaska and as an excellent study of the nature of policy change more generally.”

UsinG nUMbers in arabiCJamal Ali

Using Numbers in Arabic is an invaluable reference for the inter-mediate to advanced learner of Arabic. The proper use of num-bers can often be perplexing for students of the Arabic language. While most Arabic grammars and textbooks include a chapter or discussion on the topic, that coverage is inadequate for serious students, scholars, and researchers.

This guide shows the reader, using clear explanations and examples, exactly how to use cardinal and ordinal numbers in Arabic, from one to the billions and beyond. Each entry features a brief description in English followed by examples in Arabic from actual written and recorded texts; each example is also accompanied by an English translation. All information is based on real-world practice, with helpful citations from literature and media to illustrate each principle. In a second section, the author covers useful number-related topics, such as dates, times, and many mathematical expressions and functions, while focusing on Modern Standard Arabic, the volume also covers Classical Arabic and describes and illustrates differences between classical and modern practice. The volume’s glossary, bibliography, and index will also be useful to students.

Using Numbers in Arabic is a handy addition to the reference shelf of every serious student of the Arabic language, and it will be welcomed by native speakers with fluency in English interested in a reference on how to render numbers correctly.

JAMAL ALI is associate professor of Arabic at the University of Southern California. He has taught Arabic at numerous American universities, is the author of Language and Heresy in Ismaili Thought, and is coauthor of Arabi Liblib, a three-volume reference series aimed at the advanced learner of Colloquial Egyptian Arabic.

This authorized version of Sayyidi wa Habibi will be warmly embraced by college and university students of Arabic as well as by independent learners of Arabic.

LAILA FAMILIAr is a lecturer in Arabic at the University of Texas at Austin, has taught language and content-based courses in sev-eral renowned programs of Arabic, and was director of the Arabic Summer Institute at the University of Texas at Austin, 2012–13. She has a master’s degree in Teaching Arabic as a Foreign Language from the American University in Cairo.

HodA BArAkAt is a contemporary Lebanese-born novelist writing in the Arabic language. She worked as a teacher, translator, and journal-ist during the Lebanese Civil War, and it is during this war that her later novels are set. Her works have won several awards, including the Naguib Mahfouz Medal for Literature.

“If this book had only contained the abridged novel Sayyidi wa Habibi it would have represented that rare literary text that one could teach to students of Arabic at the advanced low level. With all of the additional materials (cultural and historical) and exercises (to be done before, during, and after reading the text itself), however, it becomes an indispensible tool for Arabic instructors who want to expose their students to literature in their first few years of study. I would also recommend it highly to independent learners of Arabic who have already achieved the appropriate level.”

Christopher stone, associate professor of Arabic, Department of Classical and Oriental Studies, Hunter College

handbook of roMan CatholiC Moral terMsJames T. Bretzke, SJ

The Handbook of Roman Catholic Moral Terms contains more than 800 moral terms, offering concise definitions, historical context, and illustrations of how these terms are used in the Catholic tradition, including Church teaching and documents.

James T. Bretzke, SJ, places Catholic tradition in a contemporary context in order to illuminate the continuities as well as dis-continuities of Church teaching and key directions of Catholic thought. The author also provides extensive cross-referencing and bibliographic suggestions for further research.

Designed to serve as a vital reference work for libraries, students and scholars of theology, priests and pastoral ministers, as well as all adults interested in theological enrichment or continuing education, the Handbook of Roman Catholic Moral Terms is the most comprehensive post–Vatican II work of its kind available in English.

JAMes t. BretZke, sJ, is professor of moral theology at the Boston College School of Theology and Ministry. Previously, he was department chair at the University of San Francisco and taught at Jesuit universities and theologates in Rome, Seoul, Manila, Berkeley, and Milwaukee. He is the author of several books, including A Morally Complex World: Engaging Contemporary Moral Theology; his “A Burden of Means: Interpreting Recent Catholic Magisterial Teaching on End-of-Life Issues” won the 2007 College Theology Society’s Best Article Award.

“this much-needed reference work for students and scholars of all stripes is a resource that can guide research and clarify discussions of complex issues often confused by the misuse of key concepts.”

richard M. gula, ss, Emeritus Professor of Moral Theology, Franciscan School of Theology

“Bretzke’s Handbook of roman catholic Moral Terms is a unique guide to the often arcane infrastructure of Catholic moral theology, whose premises, principles, and conclusions can seem impenetrable to the student and whose developmental history can elude even the most diligent scholar. this book is an invaluable point of entry to a worldview and logic that survives still as the scaffolding of official roman Catholic pronouncements on sexual and biomedical ethics. Anyone who needs to teach, counsel, or write in these areas will pull Bretzke’s book frequently off the shelf.”

the developMent of Moral theoloGyFive strands

Charles E. Curran

Charles Curran brings a unique historical and critical analysis to the study of Catholic moral theology in his newest book, The Development of Moral Theology: Five Strands. These strands, differentiating Catholic moral theology from other forms of Christian ethics, include sin and the manuals of moral theology, the teaching of Thomas Aquinas and later Thomists, natural law, church teaching in moral areas, and Vatican II. Curran’s study is the first to analyze in one volume how these strands have devel-oped and changed our understanding of moral theology both in the past and at the present time.

tHeoLogy

”today the field of Christian ethics is thoroughly ecumenical yet it remains true that Catholic moral theology has distinctive, even unique roots, when compared to other traditions that make up the field. In this book Charles Curran, an ecumeni-cal theologian par excellence, focuses on his own tradition to examine the five elements that differentiate Catholic moral theology from the rest of Christian ethics. His study is a measured analysis of the development and impact of the five factors that have shaped the way Catholic moral theology has evolved. this is a mature and insightful work by one of the most respected scholars within the discipline.”

kenneth r. Himes, oFM, Boston College

ContentsPreface • Strand One: Sin, Reconciliation, and the Manuals of Moral Theology • Strand Two: Thomas Aquinas and the Thomistic Tradition • Strand Three: Natural Law • Strand Four: Papal Teaching Office • Strand Five: Second Vatican Council • Conclusion: Where Do We Stand Today? • Index

CHArLes e. CurrAn, a Roman Catholic priest, is Elizabeth Scurlock University Professor of Human Values at Southern Methodist University. He was president of the Catholic Theological Society of America, the Society of Christian Ethics, and the American Theological Society, and is the author of numerous books, includ-ing Catholic Moral Theology in the United States: A History, which won the 2008 American Publishers Award for Professional and Scholarly Excellence in Theology and Religion.

“this book is a significant contribution to our understanding of the development of moral theology. By Curran’s wise choice of five critical historical strands in the history of moral theol-ogy, he provides needed background, particularly for those new to the field. His presentation of the history of the various understandings of natural law alone makes the book a valuable contribution. this book will be particularly valuable for those too young to remember the pre-vatican II church as well as the Council itself because Curran deftly presents the currents of thought that led us to the Council, through it, and to our cur-rent debates in moral theology.”

thomas shannon, professor emeritus of Religion and Social Ethics, Worcester Polytechnic Institute,

“once again, Charles Curran demonstrates the importance of understanding developments in moral theology within their historical context. . . . Accessible to students and to a general audience in its broader narrative, Curran’s volume also offers professionals an insightful analysis of recent history and events. this book is a valuable addition to any theological library.”

the fUtUre of ethiCssustainability, social Justice, and religious CreativityWillis Jenkins

The Future of Ethics interprets the big questions of sustainability and social justice through the practical problems arising from humanity’s increasing power over basic systems of life. What does climate change mean for our obligations to future genera-tions? How can the sciences work with pluralist cultures in ways that will help societies learn from ecological change?

Traditional religious ethics examines texts and traditions and highlights principles and virtuous behaviors that can apply to particular issues. Willis Jenkins develops lines of practical inquiry through “prophetic pragmatism,” an approach to eth-ics that begins with concrete problems and adapts to changing circumstances. This brand of pragmatism takes its cues from liberationist theology, with its emphasis on how individuals and communities actually cope with overwhelming problems.

Can religious communities make a difference when dealing with these issues? By integrating environmental sciences and theological ethics into problem-based engagements with phi-losophy, economics, and other disciplines, Jenkins illustrates the wide understanding and moral creativity needed to live well in the new conditions of human power. He shows the significance of religious thought to the development of interdisciplinary responses to sustainability issues and how this calls for a new style of religious ethics.

WILLIs JenkIns is associate professor of religious studies at the University of Virginia. He is the author of Ecologies of Grace: Environmental Ethics and Christian Theology, which won the 2009 Templeton Prize for Theological Promise.

Moral evilAndrew Michael Flescher

The idea of moral evil has always held a special place in philoso-phy and theology because the existence of evil has implications for the dignity of the human and the limits of human action. Andrew M. Flescher proposes four interpretations of evil, draw-ing on philosophical and theological sources and using them to trace through history the moral traditions that are associated with them.

The first model, evil as the presence of badness, offers a tradi-tional dualistic model represented by Manicheanism. The second, evil leading to goodness through suffering, presents a theological interpretation known as theodicy. Absence of badness—that is, evil as a social construction—is the third model. The fourth, evil as the absence of goodness, describes when evil exists in lieu of the good—the “privation” thesis staked out nearly two millen-nia ago by Christian theologian St. Augustine. Flescher extends this fourth model—evil as privation—into a fifth, which incor-porates a virtue ethic. Drawing original connections between Augustine and Aristotle, Flescher’s fifth way emphasizes the formation of altruistic habits that can lead us to better moral choices throughout our lives.

Flescher eschews the temptation to think of human agents who commit evil as outside the norm of human experience. Instead, through the honing of moral skills and the practice of attending to the needs of others to a greater degree than we currently do, Flescher offers a plausible and hopeful approach to the reality of moral evil.

AndreW MICHAeL FLesCHer is associate professor of preventive medicine at Stony Brook University and the director of the masters program in Compassionate Care, Bioethics, and Medical Humanities. He currently serves on the Stony Brook Hospital Ethics Committee and Organ Donor Council, as well as the university’s Humanities Institute. He is the author of Heroes, Saints, and Ordinary Morality.

etHICs

“In this very important and penetrating study, Flescher explores ‘the resources for thinking about evil in a manner conducive to human flourishing.’ Weaving together sources ranging from Aristotle and Augustine to contemporary fiction and films, from Leibniz to Levinas, Flescher offers a subtle and incisive analysis of evil that is compelling, insightful, and ultimately calls us to cultivate those virtues that alone can protect us from the force of evil in human life.”

restored to earthChristianity, environmental ethics, and ecological restorationGretel Van Wieren

Restored to Earth provides the first comprehensive examina-tion of the religious and ethical dimensions and significance of contemporary restoration practice, an ethical framework that advances the field of environmental ethics in a more posi-tive, action-oriented, experience-based direction. Van Wieren brings together insights and examples from restoration ecology, environmental ethics, religious studies, and conservation and Christian thought, to propose a new restoration ethic grounded in the concrete, hands-on experience of humans working as partners with the land.

greteL vAn WIeren is assistant professor in the Department of Religious Studies at Michigan State University. She received her MDiv and PhD in Religious Studies from Yale University, where her dissertation was awarded a Louisville Institute Fellowship. She has served as a pastor and worked on environmental issues in the Reformed Church in America.

“For a planet that, like ecological restoration itself, is pitched between lament and hope, van Wieren’s work builds the needed bridges, bridges that let moral and spiritual dimensions join scientific ones. the result is a multifaceted culture of restoration in which we, too, are ‘restored to earth.’ Moreover, the writing is clear and accessible, wholly capable of reaching the wide audience it deserves.”

Larry rasmussen, Reinhold Niebuhr Professor Emeritus of Social Ethics, Union Theological Seminary

“gretel van Wieren’s book is a powerful and eloquent articula-tion of the mental and spiritual impacts of ecological restora-tion. Far more than just physical healing, van Wieren reveals how repairing environmental damage can also restore our spirit, our hopes, our connection to place, and our commonality with life and its regenerative processes. this is a noble, inspiring, and beautiful book.”

stephen kellert, Tweedy Ordway Professor Emeritus, Yale University School of Forestry and Environmental Studies and author of Birthright: People and Nature in the Modern World

“this ground-breaking, interdisciplinary book skillfully explains the ethical debates over ecological restoration and then con-nects them to religious ideas of restoration in ways that deepen civic, theological, and scientific conversations. It will be helpful not only to scientists and ethicists, but anyone who is interest-ed in practical and hopeful responses to ecological degradation.”
