Empire of Terror

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps

By: Mark D. Silinsky

In Empire of Terror Mark D. Silinsky argues that Iran is one of the United States’ deadliest enemies. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, known as the Guards, bring Iran’s sway over much of the greater Middle East and pose a growing existential threat to Western security. Providing insights gained from his thirty-eight years as an analyst in the U.S. defense intelligence community, Silinsky argues that Iran’s political leaders and Guards are animated by aggressive, unforgiving, and totalitarian principles. He draws historical parallels to the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany to compare the intelligence and security services of states with totalitarian aspirations and to illustrate ideological points of intersection—a collectivist mindset, intolerance for political deviation, strongly defined sex roles and hypermasculinity, and a ruthless determination to ferret out and destroy their enemies. Silinsky offers biographies and explanations of the ideology that propels some of Iran’s leaders, with global implications. Profiling the perpetrators, victims, heroes, villains, and dupes, Silinsky shines light on the human and inhumane elements in this distinctly Iranian drama. Although the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany have been defeated and belong to history, the Iranian threat is very much alive.

The Manager’s Guide to Terrorism, Risk, and Insurance

Essentials for Today’s Business

By: David J. Smith, MSM, CPCU,Mark D. Silinksy, MPhil (Oxon.), Ph.D

As a manager, you’re aware of terrorist acts, are considering the risks, but sense that you need more background. How might terrorism occur? How is it part of risk and threat planning? What insurance strategies might protect your company from financial loss? In a few short chapters, The Manager’s Guide to Terrorism, Risk, and Insurance: Essentials for Today’s Business fills in the blanks for you. What does it take to weigh the likelihood of a terrorism exposure and protect all the assets of your company? The answer to this question involves understanding the nature of terrorists and their behavior, evaluating the risk of potential damage and business interruption, and exploring ways to use insurance – such as programs covered by the US Terrorism Risk Insurance Act – to protect against severe financial harm. Authors of this book, David J. Smith and Mark D. Silinsky, give you the benefit of their decades of professional experience in risk management, insurance, physical and cyber security, and anti-terrorism. Topics covered will help you to better understand: Characteristics that could make your company the target of terrorism. The most costly terrorist acts that have brought about fatalities and insured property loss. . How to anticipate the probability of maximum loss and foreseeable loss from terrorism. . The psychological picture of the typical terrorist – the warning signs and pre-attack indicators. . Tactics used by terrorists, such as bombings, assassination, and kidnapping. . Safety measures to be used by employees in the office and as they travel. . Practical steps for loss reduction from a variety of terrorist-related threats. . Insurance options to protect against financial loss from destructive terrorist acts, kidnap and ransom, and cyber attack and exposure. Case studies and discussion questions are provided to speed your understanding of the material. Importantly, since the book has been extensively researched, the authors provide a wealth of resources that you can consult as you dig deeper into this complex topic.
