| 520 | . | ‡a"Thieves of State identifies the unexpected force behind some of our world's most dramatic security challenges: corruption. Chayes, a former advisor to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, explains how the pursuit of personal enrichment by Mafia-like governments provokes extreme reactions that are playing out in headlines every day: militant extremism from the Islamic State to the Taliban to Boko Haram, and revolutions from eth Arab Spring to Ukraine's Maidan."-- ‡cPage 4 of cover. | |
