In fact, the UK's careless'humanitarian' interventions, grandiosity and greed havehelped to fracture the global order built after World War II.Why is the world sodangerous now?How Britain Broke the Worldis by former senior British diplomat Arthur Snell.It critically assesses UK foreign policyover the past 25 years, from Kosovo in1998 to Afghanistan in 2021, while alsoscrutinising British policy towards thepowerhouses of the USA, Russia, India,and China.Far from being unimportant, Snellreveals, Britain has oftenplayed a pivotal role in world affairs.For instance, London supplied the falseintelligence that justified the Alliedinvasion of Iraq and plugged Russia'scorrupt elite into Western economies.Then come the bungled humanitarianinterventions in foreign states.Without the UK's marginal but key role,the author argues, it's likely that warswould not have blighted the Balkans,Iraq, and Libya, hundreds of thousandsof lives would have been saved, and theworld would be a safer place in the 2020s.Taking in Russia's full-scale invasionof Ukraine in 2022, Snell charts the keypolitical, economic and geographicfactors that drive the behaviour of themost powerful and populous countries.Like a diplomatic version of Prisoners ofGeography by Tim Marshall, How BritainBroke the World reveals the ignominiousreality of UK foreign policy and the truestate of world affairs. It is a must-read for anyone interested in Britain's role in international affairs.Review'In this engrossing and frankly deeply troubling book,former senior British diplomat Snell explains howBritain's often incompetent, inconsistent and sometimesdownright greedy foreign policy has played a pivotalrole in rendering the world a more dangerous place.'Not only in regard to Russia, where successive British governments have helped to plug Putin's oligarchy into the Western economic system, but also when it comes to the wars in Kosovo, Iraq, Libya and more'Caroline Sanderson, awarding an 'Editor's Choice' for Non-fiction, The BooksellerAbout the AuthorAfter graduating from Oxford with a firstclass degree in history, Arthur Snell joinedthe Foreign and Commonwealth Office.A fluent Arabic speaker, he served inAfghanistan, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Yemen,and Iraq.He headed the international strand ofthe UK Government's Prevent counterterrorismprogramme.He is currently a geopolitical consultantand host of the hit podcast DoomsdayWatch.ExtractThere was a brief silence after the bomb blast. Then shouting,and nervous laughter. The Iraqi official gestured to the shatteredwindow and stammered: 'Shay 'aadi,' a 'normal thing.' We wereboth uninjured, but I learned later that several guards had diedoutside the office where we were meeting. It was 2005 and I was inBaghdad, working as a British diplomat. Car bombs were normal.As I left the building I noticed a charred hand on the ground,probably the bomber's....That day, in the bombed building,I could no longer deny to myself that the Allied powers hadunleashed a terrible whirlwind. Now, as I write in the early 2020s,the existence of Islamic State is a direct consequence of the 2003invasion. But the impact of that terrible mistake stretches farwider: from regional chaos in the Middle East, to shredding thecredibility of Western governments, to the renewed power ofautocratic countries, chiefly Russia and China.A FAILING WORLD ORDERThe unsteady rules-based international order finally collapsed on24th February 2022, when Russia launched a full-scale invasionof Ukraine. Under stress for some time, this system - internationallaw, accepted national borders, with the United Nations as globalpolice chief - had delivered peace and security for most Westerndemocracies from World War II into the 1990s. Admittedly, manycountries, particularly in the Global South, missed out on theupsides. But a world without this framework is volatile. We areliving in a period of global disorder, conflict and uncertainty.As I write in 2022, major conflicts are laying waste to the largeand geopolitically sensitive states of Ukraine, Libya and Yemen,and civil wars are raging in the large countries of Ethiopia andSyria. In addition, an arc of instability runs across the entireSahel region of Africa and widespread civil strife continuesin Myanmar, Afghanistan and Iraq.

    UNCOVERED: 1 in 4 EXAM GRADES IS WRONG'An important contribution to our thinking.' Sixth Form Colleges Association'An uncomfortable but important read.' Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference'Everyone in UK education should reflect upon the problems identifiedin this powerful book' -Higher Education Policy InstituteEvery summer one million GCSE and A-Level candidates receiveresults that define their school years and set them up for their life.But those results aregravely unreliable.In fact, about one grade in four in England is WRONG. That is 1.5 million grades every year.An A-Level grade B might havebeen an A, or even a C, had a different examiner marked thescript. Similarly, a GCSE grade 7 might have received a grade 8 ora 6.For a decade, young people and their friends and families havebeen unable to grasp the full extent of this randomness. Now, in this definitive and easy to follow book, DennisSherwood explains why so many pupils receive finalgrades that don't do them justice. And he suggests ways to regaintrust, which apply to essay-based exams throughout the world.Reviews'Know an A Level student who you were absolutely sure should nail an A* butended up with a B? Well, they probably should have got that A* but were a victimof this scandal. Sherwood's work changed my outlook. Let him change yours too.' Robert Campbell, former Chief Executive, Morris Education Trust'Dennis has been challenging our thinking about assessment and the awarding ofgrades for many years, combining detailed research with an engaging mannerand clear explanations... this is an important contribution to our thinking.' Bill Watkin, Chief Executive, Sixth Form Colleges Association'Dennis Sherwood asks the questions about exam grades that no one really wantsto answer. His analysis suggests that much of what we think we know about schoolexams is based at best on wishful thinking and at worst on wilful misrepresentationof statistics. But he also has some positive suggestions for improvement. Missingthe Mark is an uncomfortable but important read.' Melvyn Roffe, Chair, Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference'Missing a grade can result in university or college applications being rejected.Dennis Sherwood asks the $64,000 question: 'Are grades reliable enough for thepurposes they are supposed to serve?' This book presents an insightful analysis ofthis important matter, including the rules introduced in 2016 to reduce the numberof appeals, the controversial grading processes in 2020 and 2021 when examswere cancelled, why 'real' grades are so unreliable, and some solutions too.' Huy Duong, parent'Everyone in UK education should reflect upon the problems identifiedin this powerful book - and then decide what to do about them.' Nick Hillman, Director, Higher Education Policy InstituteAnyone with an interest in how examinations are assessed, from those in government, regulators, schools, colleges, universities to employers, teachers, parents and students, should read Dennis Sherwood's incisive analysis. His conclusions will have a profound impact on our idea of the accuracy, reliability and fairness of examinations. -Mike Larkin,Emeritus Professor Queen's University of Belfast and Total Equality For Students'Dennis provides a clear, step-by-stepoutline of what is going so terribly wrongand the easy ways to remedy this.' Ollie Green, A-level studentAbout the authorDennis Sherwood is a management consultant withexperience of solving complex problems. He has aPhysics Masters from the University of Cambridge,an MPhil in Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistryfrom Yale University and a PhD in biology from theUniversity of California in San Diego.After being a consulting partner at Deloitte Haskins+ Sells, and Coopers & Lybrand, he became anexecutive director at Goldman Sachs. He nowruns his own business, The Silver Bullet MachineManufacturing Company Limited, specialising inorganisational creativity and innovation. He is authorof 14 books.Extract - ForewordGold standard! Well, maybe not! For many years England's GCSEand A-level qualifications have enjoyed an international reputationas world-leading. They have frequently been cited as 'gold standard'examinations. In this book Dennis Sherwood applies forensic analysis,in an accessible format, to one aspect of those qualifications - the gradesawarded to each student on results day. His expert commentary leavesus in no doubt that the architecture of reliability is nothing more than afancy faade on a house that's built on sand.This is not a book about whether examinations are the best way toassess authentic learning. That's a different debate, although there'sevidence here that excessive reliance on end-of-course examinationsexacerbates the great grading scandal.This is also not a book about whether the content of our examination-driven school and college curriculum is well-designed, fit for purposeor sufficiently visionary for the future needs of students. That too is a longoverdue discussion which should inform public policy, but Dennis retainshis focus on one pressing issue. Are the grades awarded to students atthe end of the examination process a reliable indicator of their performanceand ability? Can those grades be trusted to determine suitabilityfor advanced academic study or access to employment? Do they serve todifferentiate authentically between one student and the next?We are all familiar with the results day photographs that accompanythe headlines in August. Enthusiastic celebrations with beaming smiles.Images that are carefully contrived to align with the supporting text as'Camelia' (or whoever) progresses to a top university with her four A*grades or 'Daniel' revealed to be a prodigy as he attains twelve grade 9'sin his GCSEs.Their results may well be impressive and will certainly open doorstowards privileged academic opportunities. But what if the student withAAB is actually no better, in any meaningful sense, than the student withBAC? What if these grades lack the precision that they appear to convey?Is there an element of unreliability in how they are awarded - such thattwo otherwise identical candidates may as well roll a dice alongside completingtheir examination paper to determine which, say, of two adjacentgrades they may ultimately be awarded?If Dennis is right - and I think he is - then a great grading scandalunfolds before our eyes every summer...[Buy the book to continue reading the foreword]Dr Robin Bevan,Headteacher, Southend High School for Boys andNEU Past National President, 2020-21

    'Most books on persuasion teach the few how to sway the many. With wit and vim, Guy has given us something else: an X-ray into the tactics of those trying to change our minds and behaviour.' - Stephen Krupin, former speechwriter for Barack ObamaWhen Winston Churchill spoke in Parliament, he convinced an empire to go to war. When Martin Luther King spoke in Washington, he convinced millions to open their hearts to change. When Oprah Winfrey said: 'Do what you have to do until you can do what you want to do,' she also used rhetoric. As we have here, by deploying the rule of three to stress a point.Rhetoric - the art of persuasive speaking and writing - often gets a bad rap. In this dazzling, fast-paced guide, speechwriter Guy Doza rescues rhetoric from the shadows and showcases its immense power to change lives, for good and bad.Highlighting punchy sayings from Ancient Rome to modern marketing, he shows how leaders, businesses and even our own friends use rhetorical techniques every day to make convincing arguments.What's more, this guide to rhetoric will show you how to learn to use this persuasive language in your own life:How to convince an investor to back your ventureWhat to say to a potential lover in a barAnd, the six rules of apology you should use if you ever accidentally run over the next-door neighbour's cat...How to Apologise for Killing a Cat is a quick read, humorous and highly practicable. It decodes the tricks and techniques of rhetoric for everyday readers.It's theonly book you need to make a convincing marketingpitch.It's the only book you need to give a rousing speech.It's theonly book you need to write persuasively.It's the best book to explain the technique we've just used here. After reading this book, you will start to see the trick of rhetoric used everywhere.After reading this book, you will never see the worldthe same way again!About the authorGuy Doza is a speechwriter and trainer. He has a Master's degree in Rhetoric from the University of London and uses rhetoric in the speeches he writes for senior politicians and business leaders. He trains government speechwriters in logic and rhetoric.IntroductionHave you ever had that unpleasant anxiety of taking your carto the mechanic and feeling like you're being swindled? Mostof you will probably know exactly what I am talking about.We don't know how cars work, we don't know what the partsare called and we don't know how to fix them ourselves. Thislack of knowledge makes us vulnerable and susceptible toexploitation, and we know it. So does the mechanic.Now, most mechanics are honest individuals, not rogues,but can we say the same of people who run countries andbig companies? When it comes to ordinary life away fromthe car engine or central heating boiler, most of us don'teven realise just how vulnerable we are. People can usepersuasive language to swindle us, cheat us, and exploit usto the hilt. And the worst part is that we are not even awarethat it is happening.Welcome to rhetoric, the art of persuasion. Rhetoric is asuperpower. It can alter the way we think, the way we behaveand sometimes even the way we live our lives. And its most explosive charge lies in its subtlety. We need to be aware ofhow such persuasive language is used, not only so that wecan be more persuasive ourselves, but defend ourselves against the rhetorical advances of thosewho would seek to exploit us.A Dark Art?For too long, rhetoric has been a dark and ancient artconfined to the secretive circles of politics and academia.This mystery and misunderstanding has often led tothe public to consider it to be the tool of crooks, spindoctors and villains. But no more! The time has come tobring rhetoric out of the darkness and show it for what itis: a mighty linguistic tool. Whether it is a conversationbetween friends in a caf a pathetic attempt to flirtat a bar, or a meaningful conversation with a world renownedphilosopher, rhetoric is everywhere. It is howwe invoke authenticity, how we convey meaning, andhow we convince.So as well as looking at the grand speeches of eloquentorators and established speakers, this book will delve intothe street rhetoric that we encounter in our everydaylives. Whether it's a cheap use of ethos or a dodgy use ofoccultatio, rhetoric is thriving in our offices, dwelling inour pubs and lurking in our very homes. We are goingto look at some of the forms that rhetoric can take as itattempts to twist our thoughts and muddy our reasoning.Sadly, reading this book will not turn you into an eloquentmillionaire who is able to close billion dollar business deals,perform Jedi mind tricks, and convince anyone of anything.There are plenty of gimmicky books out there if that is whatyou are looking for. Rather, this book is designed to helpyou become more aware of the role that rhetoric plays inthe world around us: the good, the bad and the ugly. And,with a certain amount of caution, you will be more preparedto use it yourself while simultaneously being conscious ofhow it might be used against you, whether for morality, formanipulation, money, or malice.Buy the book and carry on on reading!

    Gulbahar Haitiwaji is the first Uyghur woman survivor China's barbarous re-education camps to give a personal account of life inside their walls.The camps - redolent of Stalin's gulag - are 'home' to one million Uyghurs, a Turkish-speaking Muslim ethnic group in the western region of Xinjiang. The Chinese Communist Party covets Xinjiang because it is on the 'new silk roads,' the flagship project of President Xi Jinping.The Chinese Communist Party says the camps are part of 'the total fight against Islamic terrorism, infiltration and separatism.' The US Government says that China's treatment of the Uyghurs amounts to 'genocide.'Gulbahar recounts how she was tricked into returning to China and thrown into a nightmare of brainwashing and forced sterialisation, that is wiping a culture off the face of the Earth. Very unusually, she made it out to the West, and has decided to tell her story. This rare account of life in China's gulag is visceral and internationally important.
