Revised edition
Synopsis
One of the most influental political science works written in the post World War II era, the original edition of Essence of Decision is a unique and fascinating examination of the pivotal event of the cold Cold War. Not simply revised, but completely re-written, the Second Edition of this classic text is a fresh reinterpretation of the theories and events surrounding the Cuban Missle Crisis, incorporating all new information from the Kennedy tapes and recently declassified Soviet files. Essence of Decision Second Edition, is a vivid look at decision-making under pressure and is the only single volume work that attempts to answer the enduring question: how should citizens understand the actions of their government?

    An amazing assortment of music from around the world, and at an equally amazing price! One of the best ways to get a taste of culture from just about anywhere. The condition of the CDs are varied from great to "good," as the seller describes. I received the package quickly, and only very little of the jewel cases were slightly damaged during transit. I highly recommend this seller!

    I purchased several used Blu-Ray movies and was blown away by the quality. Every disc and case arrived in pristine condition, exactly as described. Shipping was fast, packaging was secure, and everything played perfectly. You can really tell the seller takes pride in what they offer. I’m extremely happy with this purchase and will definitely buy from them again.
