TY - GEN T1 - White House special handbook : how to rule the world in the 21st century A1 - Kryzhanovskiĭ, M. (Mikhail), 1958- LA - English PP - New York PB - Algora Pub.

In fact, the strategies and mindset recommended in these pages are essential tools for capturing the presidency as much as wielding it. The international scene today is either a madhouse or the product of extraordinarily cynical techniques such as these, applied with cold cunning, by our nations leaders. This manual outlines some of the resources, strategies and mechanisms at their disposal and some of the concerns and countervailing concerns that the Commander-in-chief needs to have in mind. This handbook provides a comparison of the world's premier intelligence agencies, discusses tactics of surveillance, war and public persuasion; and it gives practical advice on political maneuvering at the local, national and international levels. A rational, results-based handbook, it is destined to be a secret favorite of politicians, agents of the special services, C.E.O.s and corporate boards and everyone else who needs to be "ready to lead." And for the many other ambitious contenders in the world of winner-take-all bare-knuckles capitalism. The author, who cites decades of insider knowledge at both the K.G.B. and the C.I.A., says he originally compiled this book upon a request from Washington anonymous, of course CN - JK1976 .K79 2007eb SN - 9780875865171 SN - 0875865178 SN - 0875865151 SN - 9780875865157 SN - 087586516X SN - 9780875865164 SN - 9786611398507 SN - 6611398503 SN - 1281398500 SN - 9781281398505 KW - USA : Präsident KW - USA : Präsident.
