About This Item

Name in ink on fep. In notations and underlining observed in a number of locations. Cover has some wear and soiling. Neil C. Livingstone (born August 3, 1946) is an American business executive, author, political candidate, television commentator and security and terrorism expert. He was the founder, chairman, and CEO of GlobalOptions Inc., an international risk management company that he took public in 2005. He is the author of ten books and hundreds of articles on terrorism, intelligence, and national security. He is a frequent commentator on national security issues. In summer 2001, he and two other security specialists filming an MSNBC special predicted the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York, saying that both buildings would be destroyed and that Osama bin Laden would be behind the attacks. Livingstone ran unsuccessfully for the Republican nomination for Governor of Montana in the 2012 election. Because of his background, Livingstone received significant attention and was dubbed "The Most Interesting Gubernatorial Candidate in the World. In 1973, Halevy fought and was injured in the Yom Kippur War. He is still a lieutenant colonel in the Israeli defense force reserve. Halevy turned to journalism and first worked as a freelance stringer before becoming Time's Jerusalem correspondent in 1976. Derived from a Publishers Weekly report: The authors here gather an impressive array of new information about the Palestine Liberation Organization, its origins, governing structure, internal power struggles, covert foreign relations, funding and operations. Livingstone, a former Time correspondent, and Halevy, an Time correspondent and an acknowledged antiterrorist authority, analyze the PLO's recent policy change involving recognition of Israel and formal renunciation of terrorism, and warn that this posture of compromise should be viewed with skepticism: `The eventual destruction of the State of Israel still appears to be . . . the PLO's ultimate goal.' The elusive figure of Yassir Arafat, chairman of the PLO and commander-in-chief of its largest faction, Fatah, is brought into focus in his various roles as spokesman, roving ambassador and `chief energizer of the Palestinian movement.' The authors convincingly argue that the intifada uprising has resuscitated the PLO but has also probably accelerated its decline by forcing into the political arena a younger generation of Palestinians with goals different from those of Arafat and other PLO leaders.
