In de uitgestrekte geschiedenis van de kunstwereld steken bepaalde werken als getuigen van een tijdperk, die de essentie van een cultuur vastleggen en tegelijkertijd de tijd overstijgen. De kunstdruk van Myron Timothy Herrick - William Orpen past in deze traditie en biedt een boeiend inzicht in de fijnheid en complexiteit van figuratieve kunst uit het begin van de 20e eeuw. Dit werk, dat zowel emotionele gevoeligheid als technische virtuositeit oproept, nodigt de kijker uit om onder te dompelen in een universum waar elk detail betekenis draagt. Bij het bekijken van dit stuk voelt men een diepe connectie met universele thema's zoals identiteit, herinnering en menselijkheid. Stijl en uniekheid van het werk De stijl van Myron Timothy Herrick onderscheidt zich door een benadering die zowel realistisch als expressief is. In dit kunstwerk slaagt de kunstenaar erin om minutieuze precisie te combineren met een emotioneel geladen sfeer. De kleuren, subtiel getemperd, creëren een visuele harmonie die het oog en de geest aanspreekt. Elke penseelstreek lijkt een verhaal te vertellen, elke schaduw en elk licht speelt een rol in het visuele verhaal. Deze capaciteit om diepe gevoelens op te roepen via picturale elementen getuigt van Herrick’s vaardigheid om de codes van zijn tijd te manipuleren, terwijl hij zijn eigen artistieke visie toevoegt. De compositie, zorgvuldig georkestreerd, leidt de blik van de kijker door een meeslepende ervaring, waarin men oog in oog komt te staan met de emoties van de afgebeelde personages. De kunstenaar en zijn invloed William Orpen, een iconische figuur in de Britse kunst, staat bekend om zijn uitzonderlijk talent in portret en zijn vermogen om de menselijke ziel vast te leggen. Zijn invloed op Myron Timothy Herrick is onmiskenbaar, omdat hij een generatie kunstenaars heeft geïnspireerd om de diepten van menselijke emoties te verkennen via hun werk. Orpen, door zijn toewijding aan authentieke representatie en zijn verkenning van sociale en politieke thema's, heeft de weg geopend voor een diepere reflectie op kunst en haar rol in de samenleving. De relatie tussen deze twee kunstenaars, zowel mentor als leerling, creëert een boeiend dialoog over de evolutie van kunst in de 20e eeuw. Herrick, door de lessen van Orpen te integreren en tegelijkertijd zijn eigen stem te ontwikkelen,Shipping Notes

The Details of the Height of British Naval Power
Format: Hardcover
This is the final volume in Rodger's three part series. This coves a lot of ground that includes Britain's height of imperial/naval hegemony and then its exhaustion after two world wars. Read this book if you want to learn about the details that actually go into an important national organization like the Royal Navy. Things like politics, administration, logistics, ship design, talent pipelines, engineering difficulties, etc. Rodgers goes deep. Things like:
1) Fire control on big guns on warships is a very hard technical challenge and wasn't really solved until the 2nd World War with more advanced electronics.
2) In the coal fired age of ships, most of the navy were coal stokers. The limit of range was actually their exhaustion, not how much coal was on board.
3) Twice the number of bombs were dropped on Malta in WW2 as on London during the Blitz!
4) Britain's naval dominance was tied to economic dominance and was sea power/trading based. Sea based trade is so powerful and economical that it was cheaper to ship a ton of coal by sea than train within Britain itself!
5) Britain had a monopoly over undersea cables for global communications. They used this as a weapon to spy on enemy communications and to cut off others access to the network. Sound familiar to the SWIFT banky network today?
6) Welsh coal was the best coal. So good that the Austo-Hungarian navy stockpiled before the war enough that they used it exclusively throughout WW1.

A clear and concise book
Format: Hardcover
Fascinating book. Berntsen provides some interesting insights and recommendations on how we should fix problems at the CIA and in the national security apparatus. At a time when most critics want to destroy the Agency, Berntsen provides some plain spoken sanity. Human Intelligence, Counterterrorism and National Leadership needs to be read by anyone entering into defense, foreign affairs or intelligence - and anyone else with an interest in how the CIA works.
It is a fast and enjoyable read.

Skimming the Surface
Format: Hardcover
The essence of this book is to succinctly explain the role of CIA's National Clandestine Service (Directorate of Operations) in formulating and more importantly executing a coherent counter-terrorism strategy. Gary Berntsen is a retired CIA intelligence officer (clandestine service) with an impressive record of field assignments to his credit. He also clearly knows the ways of Washington D.C. in that this book is designed for those suffering from attention deficit disorder. While he raises several interesting point in the book, he also reveals an astonishing narrowness of view and tendency to reduce everything to its simplest terms.
In his introductory `background' chapter Berntsen makes the dubious claim that the collection of intelligence from human sources (HUMINT) is the "primary mission of CIA." Apparently he is unaware that CIA was originally founded to produce all source finished intelligence and that the National Intelligence Council (NIC), until recently under CIA, was the final word in the U.S. Intelligence System. Nothing reveals the sorry state of CIA's Directorate of Intelligence better than this claim. In the same manner Berntsen is apparently oblivious to the availability and uses of intelligence collected by technical means. To his credit he does recognize that the best intelligence is more often available from open (non-classified) sources than from secret sources. Yet he neither expands nor follows up this observation.
Berntsen more or less follows this pattern through out this book. For example he provides a brief discussion of the traditional Islamic Banking System called Hawalla, but is apparently unaware that the system is based on a recognized credit not cash and that money does not move across international borders. The system is widely trusted and is widely used by Muslim expatriates in the West and Saudi Arabia to send money home. For this reason Hawalla credit transfers providing money to terrorists are easily lost in a world wide mass of transactions. Yet it is possible to track Hawalla transactions and it has been done without "intensive manpower" allocations.
Berntsen deserves a good deal of respect and credit for his obvious service to the U. S. and his dedication to the cause of clandestine intelligence operations and its hand maiden covert operations. Yet this book is a terminally superficial and ill-considered work by someone who not only should know better, but could have produced a first rate `practical guide' to a counter-terrorism strategy.
