THE LONGEST WAR: THE ENDURING CONFLICT BETWEEN AMERICA AND AL-QAEDA by Peter L. Bergen (New York, NY: Free Press, 2011, 496 pages)
Bergen, a print and television journalist and author of Holy War, Inc: Inside the Secret World of Osama bin Laden and The Osama bin Laden I Know: An Oral History of Al Qaeda’s Leader, looks into the history of the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan in his lat-
est release. Bergen draws from internal documents from al-Qaeda and the U.S. offices of counterterrorism, first-person interviews with top-level jihadists and senior Washington officials, and his own experiences in the Middle East, which include a face-to-face interview with bin Laden in 1997 as part of a CNN team. He examines the conflict’s successes and failures on both sides, how al-Qaeda has evolved since 9/11, and how the U.S. government has responded. Bergen goes a step further, looking beyond the evolution of the conflict to project the future.
CHANGE LEADER: LEARNING TO DO WHAT MATTERS MOST by Michael Fullan (San Francisco, CA: Jossey-Bass, 2011, 192 pages)
Fullan, an internationally acclaimed authority on organizational change and a best- selling author, focuses this book on the core practices of leadership that are vital to leading in the complexity of today’s world. Change Leader explores seven core practices that are essential for current leaders. From motivation and collaboration to confidence
and simplexity (Fullan’s concept of complexity and simplicity combined), the seven core practices make the difference between a powerful leader and a competent one. The key to becoming a powerful leader, as Fullan explains, lies in the ability to identify a few things that matter most and in leveraging personal skills that benefit the entire organization, which leads to long-term success.
GREEN LOGISTICS: THE ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY OF LOGISTICS by Alan McKinnon, Sharon Cullinane, Michael Browne, and Anthony Whiteing (Philadelphia, PA: Kogan Page, 2010, 384 pages)
With growing concerns about the environment, companies and logisticians must not only move products through the supply chain in a way that meets customer require- ments at minimum cost, but they must also take environmental concerns into account.
From climate change and air pollution to noise, vibration, and accidents, the authors—a team of leading logistics academicians—consider the environmental repercussions of logistics and analyze ways to reduce these impacts to achieve a more sustainable balance among economic, environmental, and social goals. Green Logistics’ key areas of focus include the role of the U.S. government in promoting sustainable logis- tics, developing greener transport options, and improving fuel efficiency.
