Bertrand de Jouvenel (1903-1987) was known in the United States primarily as a political scientist. His best-known works -- On Power, Sovereignty, and The Pure Theory of Politics -- all made distinctive contributions to our understanding of the modern state, and to the creation of a political science capable of civilizing that state.

In this definitive history of the evolution of the Communist Party in America - from its early background through its founding in 1919 to its emergence as a legal entity in the 1920s - Theodore Draper traces the native and foreign strains that comprised the party. He emphasizes its shifting policies and secrets as well as its open activities. He makes clear how the party in its infancy "was transformed from a new expression of American radicalism to the American appendage of a Russian revolutionary power," a fact that Draper develops in his succeeding volume, American Communism and Soviet Russ

Peter Drucker is best known, especially in the United States, as a writer on management, but, in fact, management was neither his first nor has it been his foremost concern. Most of his books on management deal less with strategy and results than with the nature of the corporation as human effort and social institution. From the time of his intellectual apprenticeship to the present, Drucker’s primary subject has been community, in which the individual has status, and society in which the individual has function.

Two modern cases of genocide and extermination began in Southeast Asia in the same year. Pol Pot’s Khmer Rouge regime ruled Cambodia from 1975 to 1979, and Indonesian forces occupied East Timor from 1975 to 1999. This book examines the horrifi c consequences of Cambodian communist revolution and Indonesian anti-communist counterinsurgency. It also chronicles the two cases of indigenous resistance to genocide and extermination, the international cover-ups that obstructed documentation of these crimes, and efforts to hold the perpetrators legally accountable.
