...acted when he did. Ben Bella ran a one-man show for nearly three years and ran it badly, but always with the strong support of Boumedienne and his 60,000-man army. It was Boumedienne who routed the guerrillas who seized Algiers to protest Ben Bella's overthrow of Premier Benyoussef Benkhedda. It was Boumedienne who crushed Colonel Mohammed Chaabani's desert insurrection and executed its leader. It was Boumedienne who managed the capture of Berber Rebel Leader Hocine Ait Ahmed. When the Berbers of Kabylia revolted in 1963, Boumedienne's troops took heavy losses...

Most important, Diem's fall brought to an end nearly a decade of political stability in Viet Nam. Was Diem's downfall inevitable or even imperative, the product of immutable historical forces...
...story read like a satire on all tales of international intrigue - Scandinavian division. There were hidden arms, Arab plotters and midnight sleuthing. There was a strutting, self-styled Fuhrer with plans to overthrow the Swedish government and liquidate the country's top Jews. And, finally, there was a Jewish informant who had no trouble infiltrating the neo-Nazis, since he had a habit of making anti-Semitic remarks and parading about in Arab dress.
