Examples of unintended consequences from covert policies are retaliation attacks directed at civilians or military personnel, the erosion of international law, the destruction of politician’s credibility, or the destruction of alliances. His newest book is Dismantling the Empire: America’s Last Best Hope (Metropolitan Books). Blowback : The Costs and Consequences of American Empire. Chalmers Johnson is the author of Blowback (2000), The Sorrows of Empire (2004), and Nemesis: The Last Days of the American Republic (2006), among other works.

It's the little things in life, right? □□ For the most part, I found this story terrific. ![]() Not to mention its additional grumpy x sunshine trope that I also find delightful and have been reading a lot of lately. It was humorous, sweet, emotional, and delightfully romantic in that specific haters-to-lovers trope kind of way. The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy may have a pretty simple yet straightforward plot, but its execution was very well done. Another blessing is that I deeply enjoyed all three of these ARCs even if they weren't all 5 ⭐ reads. I don't know how I managed to pick three different ARCs, all of them great, and all of them including adorable pet dogs that made the stories 100x better. ⚠️ Trigger Warning: Various depictions of death⚠️ ❗ This is a spoiler-free ARC review from NetGalley❗ I feel very strongly that you deserve a friend more worthy of you than I am in reality. ![]() ![]() ![]() The switch to making more traditional music surprised many.

Duffy regrouped with his brother Nick and their friend Michael Weston to record some new songs inspired by their shared love of folk and country music. ![]() His second solo album Because We Love You, was a commercial flop and his record label, the Virgin subsidiary, 10, hardly enamoured with the plans he had for its follow up, proceeded to dispense with his services.
