The monumental statues of Easter Island, both so magisterial and so forlorn, gazing out in their imposing rows over the island’s barren landscape, have been the source of great mystery ever since the island was first discovered by Europeans on Easter Sunday 1722. How could the ancient people who inhabited this tiny speck of land, the most remote in the vast expanse of the Pacific islands, have built such monumental works?

On June 23, 2000, the iron-ore carrier MV Treasure, en route from Brazil to China, foundered off the coast of Cape Town, South Africa, spilling 1,300 tons of oil into the ocean and contaminating the habitat of 75,000 penguins. Realizing that 41 percent of the world's population of African penguins could perish, local conservation officials immediately launched a massive rescue operation.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 147
For the last half century, as administrations have come and gone, the fundamental assumptions about America's military policy have remained unchanged: American security requires the United States (and us alone) to maintain a permanent armed presence around the globe, to prepare our forces for military operations in far-flung regions, and to be ready to intervene anywhere at any time. In the Obama era, just as in the Bush years, these beliefs remain unquestioned gospel.

Should be required for all politically ambitious..
Revisado: 12-28-11
Would you listen to Washington Rules again? Why?
Absolutely...the great amount of research would enlarge with more than one reading.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, but it took several sittings and many repeated sections to resassure myself of what I was learning and/or getting clarified. The book is THAT transformational of the way citizens of the US think!
Any additional comments?
This book put many pieces I already knew into a whole picture, along with facts I never knew...I will insist that all friends read or listen to this book. The book is especially credible because it was written by a person with a military career. Every voter should read/listen...every politically ambitious candidate and/or adviser should be required to read/listen. This is a VERY IMPORTANT BOOK.
