Terry Woods has no direction in life. Not only is he a college dropout at twenty-two, but he's also living at home and constantly between jobs. Stuck working at the Quality Sausage Company is definitely not how he envisions his future. Despite his mother's suggestions, Terry is unable to find his niche and starts to become frustrated. Then the unthinkable happens. One night, Terry is robbed at gunpoint by two men and shot in the chest. Although he recovers, his life is forever changed. Terry finally has a purpose: he wants to become a police officer and save others from ever having to endure the same horror. The police academy is tough, but despite his rocky start, Terry graduates and finds himself working the inner-city beat of his hometown of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Being African American and a cop isn't easy, but Terry is determined to fix the system that some in his family think is broken. With hard work and newfound respect for his fellow officers, Terry is willing to put his own life on the line to make a difference in his community and fight for those who have felt disenfranchised. On his watch, justice will be served.

"Surprise" is a familiar term in military writings: the achievement of tactical surprise has such obvious benefits that it is enshrined in the military doctrine of most nations. Surprises that emerge in tactics, however, can also operate at the strategic and operational levels. These surprises are particularly dangerous, because they can test the relevance and adaptability of military forces and the "institutional" defense establishments that create, develop, and sustain them. A military establishment that is too slow to recognize and respond to such surprises places its nation's interests at grave risk. In the bipolar strategic environment of the Cold War, deep knowledge of a known adversary reduced the likelihood of such surprises. The same is not true now. This monograph thus comes at an important time, as Western nations contemplate major reductions in defense spending with consequent limitations on force structure. The range of enemy capabilities that a force will be able to match, qualitatively and quantitatively, will become smaller; hence the potential for operational and strategic surprise will increase. In this monograph, Brigadier Andrew Smith uses the improvised explosive device threat as it manifested itself in Iraq between 2003 and 2009 as a case study of such a surprise and how defense establishments responded to it. He argues that, although tactical in itself, this threat posed an operational and strategic threat in a modern "war of discretion" that demanded institutional responses from both the U.S. and Australian institutional militaries, including major equipment, training, and budgetary changes within iv time frames that circumvented the normal peacetime force development cycles of those countries. There are disappointments in the way both countries met this challenge. A key conclusion from this analysis is the critical role of strategic leadership in recognizing the scale of surprise and in forcing the necessary institutional response. At a time when budgets will not allow surprise to be addressed by maintaining large and technically diverse forces at high readiness, the ability to recognize and respond adroitly to operational and strategic surprise may be a critical requirement for a modern defense establishment.

Periodically, governments across the world find them selves hosting major peacetime events, often of an international nature, on their sovereign territory. Examples of these events include international sporting and cultural activities, such as the Olympic Games, the Soccer World Cup, and international expositions; and political gatherings, such as the G8 summit and World Trade Organization meetings. For a number of reasons, the successful conduct of these events is a matter of considerable national importance. To ensure the international community experiences these events at the appropriate standard, governments are inclined to support them even if, technically, they are not themselves conducting them. Frequently, the resources needed to achieve that standard exceed those available to the domestic authorities normally responsible for such events. This lack of resources creates a need for governments to surge briefly to higher levels of capability. To do so co st effectively, governments m ay need to engage the full range of national public and private sector agencies and capabilities, including their national defense establishments (DE),1 to support the major peacetime domestic events their countries host. For the purposes of this paper, the defense activities associated with that support are termed "domestic event support operations" (DESO).

These deeply theological poems are the howling prayers of an anarchist-pacifist antiracist queer-affirming Christian fighting against the creeping Christocratic nationalism of his region, the stolen Cherokee land of Tenasi. These rants and chants chart the author's journey through religious deconstruction into the defiant redemption of the Christ who haunts the Bible Belt with an underground solidarity and witness of grief, hope, and human liberation. "In Broken Megaphones, Andrew Smith is the reincarnation of Lawrence Ferlinghetti. Ferlinghetti, who died in 2021, lived to be 101, but he didn't live long enough. Fortunately, Smith picks up the story where Ferlinghetti left off, after Ferlinghetti's Christ climbed down from the cross, and Smith takes us to the places Christ is going today. A Christian in spite of himself, Smith has seen the glory, and his poems are a reminder that once we've seen it, we don't un-see it, even when we close our eyes. He is a prophet for our own times." -Martha Highers, editor of Under The Sun "I don't know many poets and mystics, but Andrew William Smith is the genuine article. His poetry exudes passion, and his vulnerability on these pages is nothing short of stunning. There is a deep religious fervor in these pages, unafraid of the call to abandon idols and name the violence inherent in religion as a weapon. Poets are often feared because their deep vulnerability can expose our dangerous illusions. Mystics find themselves marginalized because they see through our artifices. But we need them and their honesty. Broken Megaphones is witness and testimony, fire and love. It is a gift. Take. Read. Receive." -Rick Quinn, writer at PopMatters and Ordinary Space "America is facing a mass exodus from churches everywhere as a result of the ongoing abuse, bigotry, homophobia, racism, sexism, idolizing nationalism, and plain hate that the mainstream American church has clung to for decades. Andrew explores these reasons and more as he walks, runs, and plummets us into his own deconstruction journey. Jesus has left the church, and if that bothers you, infuriates you, unsettles your soul, this collection is for you." -Chelsea Meeks, advisor and instructor

"From internationally bestselling author and journalist Andrew Smith, an immersive, alarming, sharp-eyed journey into the bizarre world of computer code, told through his sometimes painful, often amusing attempt to become a coder himself. Throughout history, technological revolutions have been driven by the invention of machines. But today, the power of the technology transforming our world lies in an intangible and impenetrable cosmos of software: algorithmic code. So symbiotic has our relationship with this code become that we barely notice it anymore. We can't see it, are not even sure how to think about it, and yet we do almost nothing that doesn't depend on it. In a world increasingly governed by technologies that so few can comprehend, who-or what-controls the future? Devil in the Stack follows Andrew Smith on his immersive trip into the world of coding, passing through the stories of logic, machine-learning, and early computing, from Ada Lovelace to Alan Turing and up to the present moment, behind the scenes into the lives-and minds-of the new frontierspeople of the twenty-first century: those who write code. Smith embarks on a quest to understand this sect in what he believes to be the only way possible: by learning to code himself. Expansive and effervescent, Devil in the Stack delivers a portrait of code as both a vivid culture and an impending threat. How do we control a technology that most people can't understand? And are we programming ourselves out of existence? Perhaps most terrifying of all: Is there something about the way we compute-the way code works-that is innately at odds with the way humans have evolved? By turns revelatory, unsettling, and joyously funny, Devil in the Stack is an essential book for our times, of vital interest to anyone hoping to participate in the future-defining technological debates to come"--]cProvided by publisher.
