The U.S. Press and Iran

Foreign Policy and the Journalism of Deference

By: William A. Dorman,Mansour Farhang

No one seriously interested in the character of public knowledge and the quality of debate over American alliances can afford to ignore the complex link between press and policy and the ways in which mainstream journalism in the U.S. portrays a Third World ally. The case of Iran offers a particularly rich view of these dynamics and suggests that the press is far from fulfilling the watchdog role assigned it in democratic theory and popular imagination. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1988.

The Changing Face of Military Power

Joint Warfare in an Expeditionary Era

By: A. Dorman,M. Smith,M. Uttley

With the end of the Cold War, perceptions of the role of armed forces in the international environment changed dramatically and have led to a critical re-evaluation of defence budgets, defence bureaucracies and defence roles. The Changing Face of Military Power brings together some of the most eminent scholars in the field of defence studies to assess the changing dynamics of military power. It focuses in particular on the move towards joint service cooperation as a way of minimising costs and increasing efficiency.

The Longwood Reader

By: Edward A. Dornan,Charles W. Dawe

This composition reader is organized by the common patterns of rhetorical development. It is particularly distinguished by its selection of readings, all of which have been class-tested, and chosen for their ability to stimulate interest. The book draws a strong connection between active, critical reading and careful, thoughtful writing. Two introductory units offer step-by step suggestions for sound reading strategies and for writing as a process. Each unit begins with an introduction to a rhetorical pattern and provides an abundance of illustrative examples to help writers understand the methods and purposes used in employing the pattern. Annotated essays in each unit introduction illustrate thought processes in working with each rhetorical strategy. Extensive post-reading apparatus with each selection includes questions on Meaning and Purpose, Strategy and Structure, Style and Language, and Writing Tasks. For anyone interested in composition.

Defence Under Thatcher

By: A. Dorman

Drawing upon a wide range of interviews with many of the key actors, Andrew Dorman examines how defence policy was formulated and implemented during the premiership of Margaret Thatcher. This period witnessed major transformations in international and domestic politics, with defence emerging from its traditional postwar position of relative insignificance to become one of the key issues at the 1983 and 1987 general elections. Dorman provides a new understanding of policymaking by analysing defence policy in terms of three constituent parts: declaratory policy; military strategy and procurement policy.

Captain Talbot's Reckoning

By: A. Dorman Leishman

Captain Nathan Talbot lost just about everything in the late Civil War, including his self respect and his honour. But he had begun to think that his days of notoriety were over, his life in a quiet backwater unremarked until an unexpected bequest brought him to the Saville ranch, to a family in deep trouble.
