Covert Cadre: Inside the Institute for Policy Studies

S. Steven Powell

Greenhill Books, 1988

Is this real? Read for yourself. Research the biblio.
Documentation galore. While the book is a bit outdated, the material still holds much truth with respect to current politics. Good luck trying to find a copy, this has been out of print for some time. According to Powell, this supposed non-profit think tank and its ...

Ready, Okay!

Adam Cadre

HarperCollins, 2000

A personal favorite
I really loved this book. It had its faults, certainly, but they did not - at least for me - ruin the overall effect. The characters are unrealistic in action and speech, each with what amounts to expertise and college degrees in oration, science, philosophy, ...

Cadres, Bureaucracy, and Political Power in Communist China (Studies of the East Asian Institute (Columbia ...

Doak A. Barnett

Columbia University Press, 1967

One of the classic studies of Chinese Communism
This book was one of the first to look closely at how Chinese Communism really worked, rather than guessing based on readings of Mao's works and Party propaganda. Barnett interviewed at great length emigres who had just come from China to Hong Kong to form a picture ...

Cadres for Conservatism: Young Americans for Freedom and the Rise of the Contemporary Right

Valuable history of a key conservative political group

Colonels & Cadres: War & Gender in South Africa (Contemporary South African Debates)
Jacklyn Cock

Oxford University Press, USA, 1994

If most people have a strong impulse for self-preservation, why do individuals fight wars? The author believes the answer lies in gender relations--the way in which femininity and masculinity are defined--and the power of the military in society. She explores the link between war and gender in South Africa during the last decade. Through ...

Cadres and Corruption: The Organizational Involution of the Chinese Communist Party
Xiaobo Lu

Stanford University Press, 2002

The most up-to-date and comprehensive analysis of corruption and change in the Chinese Communist Party, Cadres and Corruption reveals the long history of the party?s inability to maintain a corps of committed and disciplined cadres. Contrary to popular understanding of China?s pervasive corruption as an administrative or ethical problem, the ...

Night Cadre (Poets, Penguin)

Robert Hunter

Penguin (Non-Classics), 1992

Robert Hunter connects with the reader in Night Cadre
No other poet has connected to me as Robert Hunter did in his poetry book, Night Cadre. His use of imagery and choice of diction makes his poems chilling. The meanings are deep yet driven through to the reader. Hunter just has a different way of saying things. My ...
