Book Synopsis Nation Builders by : Benard Etta

Download or read book Nation Builders written by Benard Etta. This book was released on 2013-06-19. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No nation was born great. Nations are built by men of passion, vision and wisdom. A poor nation is not necessarily a nation without money, but a nation void of men of ideas. Nation Builders are not necessarily politicians; for a politician to become a Nation Builder, he or she must experience real heart and soul conversion. Most politicians are merely opportunists, clamoring for greater portion of their national cake for self aggrandizement. True Nation Builders are treasures in every nation; and their absence is one of the greatest deprivations a nation can ever experience. Who are Nation Builders? How are they prepared for their mission? History is full of ordinary individuals whose passion, vision and wisdom expressed in the nation building story of their nations was superior to that of their peers. These breed of individuals are the true makers of history in every nation. They have their names written in the hearts of their people and the world. Researching on these special breed of individuals and uncovering the attributes, which made them the builders of their nations is what has made this work possible. In this extraordinary classic on Nation Builders, Dr. Benard Etta shares light on the qualities of Nation Builders. The book 'Nation Builders' provide answers to the question of who Nation Builders are and how they are prepared for their mission. This book takes the subject nation building from the palaces of politics into the streets, prison houses, schools, marketplaces, etc, with the aim of inspiring just everyone to become a nation builder in their respective nations. Dr. Benard Etta believes everyone is supposed to be a nation builder in the best way possible based on each individual's potential. No nation can progressively develop without the contribution of its people in nation building. Serving one's nation and contributing to its development is the greatest achievement of one's citizenship. Citizenship is not just a privilege for one to demand from his or her country, but a responsibility to contribute in making a difference in one's nation. I see this book inspiring a fresh passion and involvement in the hearts and minds of people the world over for the building of their nations.

Book Synopsis Armed Humanitarians by : Nathan Hodge

Download or read book Armed Humanitarians written by Nathan Hodge. This book was released on 2011-02-15. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In May 2003, President George W. Bush declared victory in Iraq. But while we won the war, we catastrophically lost the peace. Our failure prompted a fundamental change in our foreign policy. Confronted with the shortcomings of "shock and awe," the U.S. military shifted its focus to "stability operations": counterinsurgency and the rebuilding of failed states. In less than a decade, foreign assistance has become militarized; humanitarianism has been armed. Combining recent history and firsthand reporting, Armed Humanitarians traces how the concepts of nation-building came into vogue, and how, evangelized through think tanks, government seminars, and the press, this new doctrine took root inside the Pentagon and the State Department. Following this extraordinary experiment in armed social work as it plays out from Afghanistan and Iraq to Africa and Haiti, Nathan Hodge exposes the difficulties of translating these ambitious new theories into action. Ultimately seeing this new era in foreign relations as a noble but flawed experiment, he shows how armed humanitarianism strains our resources, deepens our reliance on outsourcing and private contractors, and leads to perceptions of a new imperialism, arguably a major factor in any number of new conflicts around the world. As we attempt to build nations, we may in fact be weakening our own. Nathan Hodge is a Washington, D.C.-based writer who specializes in defense and national security. He has reported from Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Russia, and a number of other countries in the Middle East and former Soviet Union. He is the author, with Sharon Weinberger, of A Nuclear Family Vacation, and his work has appeared in Slate, the Financial Times, Foreign Policy, and many other newspapers and magazines.
