The Mission


'No one has opened up the CIA to us like Weiner has, and The Mission deserves to win him a second Pulitzer' JOHN SIMPSON, GUARDIAN The epic successor to Tim Weiner’s National Book Award-winning classic, Legacy of Ashes: a gripping and revelatory history of the CIA in the 21st century, reaching from 9/11 through the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq to today’s battles with Russia and China – and with the President of the United States. At the turn of the century, the Central Intelligence Agency was in crisis. The end of the Cold War had robbed the agency of its mission.More than thirty overseas stations and bases had been shuttered, and scores that remained had been severely cut back. Many countries where surveillance was once deemed crucial went uncovered. Essential intelligence wasn’t being collected.At the dawn of the information age, the CIA’s officers and analysts worked with outmoded technology, struggling to distinguish the clear signals of significant facts from the cacophony of background noise. Then came September 11th, 2001. After the attacks, the CIA transformed itself into a lethal paramilitary force, running secret prisons and brutal interrogations, mounting deadly drone attacks, and all but abandoning its core missions of espionage and counterespionage.The consequences were grave: the deaths of scores of its recruited foreign agents, the theft of its personnel files by Chinese spies, the penetration of its computer networks by Russian intelligence and American hackers, and the tragedies of Afghanistan and Iraq. A new generation of spies now must fight the hardest targets – Moscow, Beijing, Tehran – while confronting a president who has attacked the CIA as a subversive force. From Pulitzer Prize winner Tim Weiner, The Mission tells the gripping, high-stakes story of the CIA through the first quarter of the twenty-first century, revealing how the agency fought to rebuild the espionage powers it lost during the war on terror – and finally succeeded in penetrating the Kremlin.The struggle has life-and-death consequences for America and its allies. The CIA must reclaim its original mission: know thy enemies. The fate of the free world hangs in the balance.A masterpiece of reporting, The Mission includes exclusive on-the-record interviews with six former CIA directors, thirteen station chiefs, and scores of top spies who served undercover for decades and have never spoken to a journalist before.

V bezpečí


Doktor Amir Levine, spoluautor prelomového medzinárodného bestsellera Pripútaní (o tom, ako naše väzby z detstva ovplyvňujú partnerské vzťahy a ako nám ich rozpoznanie môže pomôcť nájsť a udržať si lásku), prichádza s odvážnym tvrdením, že každý dospelý človek s neistým štýlom pripútania, ho dokáže zmeniť na bezpečnejší. Vo svojej knižnej novinke ponúka najmodernejšie nástroje, ako tento cieľ uskutočniť. Roky po tom, čo verejnosti predstavil štýly vzťahovej väzby (časť ľudí má bezpečné pripútanie a časť neisté – buď úzkostné, vyhýbavé, alebo ich kombinácie) a navždy zmenil naše chápanie toho, ako sa vytvárajú vzťahy, prichádza psychiater a neurovedec Dr. Amir Levine s brilantnou knihou V bezpečí. Táto kniha prináša zásadný posun vo vnímaní bezpečného pripútania. Ako autor vysvetľuje, ľudia s bezpečnou vzťahovou väzbou sa cítia prirodzene nielen vo vzťahoch, ale sú vyrovnaní aj sami so sebou. Najnovšie výskumy navyše potvrdzujú prekvapivý fakt: bez ohľadu na mieru prežívanej neistoty sa každý dokáže naučiť vybudovať si stabilné a bezpečné vnímanie života. Výhody života v „bezpečnom režime“ sú ohromujúce. Takíto ľudia bývajú zdravší, lepšie komunikujú a aj v prípade choroby čelia miernejším symptómom a lepšej psychickej kondícii. Pri hľadaní práce sú efektívnejší a ich sebaúcta zostáva stabilná. Sú odolnejší voči konzumnému tlaku a zdravšie pristupujú aj k sociálnym sieťam, čím eliminujú ich negatívne dopady. Vo svojej najnovšej knihe Dr. Levine predstavuje svoj priekopnícky prístup – terapiu a koučing nalaďovania sa na bezpečné pripútanie. Ponúka praktické, vedecky podložené metódy, ktoré čitateľom pomôžu budovať a upevňovať si pocit bezpečia. Ide o kľúčový návod pre každého, kto túži po lepšom emocionálnom zdraví, hlbších vzťahoch a naplnenejšom živote.
