Tarde o temprano, los policías tendrán que enfrentarse a experiencias indeseables. Este libro los prepara para anticiparse a ellas.Los cuerpos policiales en España sufren profundas disfunciones estructurales. La ausencia de una politica de recursos humanos eficaz facilita la existencia de redes internas de acoso y control mediante la imposicion y el miedo. Este deterioro en el seno de la Policia permite, por accion u omision, que las redes criminales perduren, al tiempo que se extiende la corrupcion y se van minando los fundamentos del Estado de derecho a costa de los ciudadanos.La primera parte de la obra se dedica a analizar casos reales, en los que el autor describe como una minoria de agentes comprometidos sostiene el sistema mientras otra parte lo sabotea o se limita a sobrevivir en el. La segunda se centra en el enemigo interno, en los mandos y funcionarios que utilizan el poder disciplinario para someter, aislar o expulsar a quienes muestran criterio propio. Se ofrecen claves interpretativas, psicologicas y comunicativas para afrontar la cronica falta de liderazgo y al acoso laboral, favorecido por estructuras que premian la obediencia y castigan la excelencia.

Between 1942-1945, England was transformed into the worlds largest aircraft carrier. From bases carved into the East Anglian countryside, American fliers waged war in the skies over Europe. Their strategic bombing campaign struck at the heart of Germany, but at a staggering cost to the young crews.This is an emotional and cultural history of the places known as the "Fields of Little America", exploring how vibrant communities evolved, shaped by the proximity of death and an intoxicating lust for life. In these enclaves, against a horrifying reality, these men toasted the future in the Officers Club and jived with village girls; planted gardens, played competitive baseball, and hosted childrens parties.In a narrative filled with colourful stories, Hearn shows how the bases of the Eighth Air Force were transformed into homes, both in the rich material culture of the bases and in the imaginations of their occupants.

Why do women fight in wars? The short answer is simply that women, like men, fight because they must. The longer answer is inevitably more complex.Spanning an arc of over 2000 years, including examples from across the globe, Why Women Fight reveals the major themes that drive women to take up arms, examining them through the lives of individuals on the front lines. Busting the myth that female soldiers are a manifestation of modernity, the book begins in the ninth century BCE with Semiramis, a former milkmaid attributed with expanding the Babylonian empire, and concludes in 2024 with Tatiana, a former shop assistant who went on to command a Ukrainian Battalion of a thousand men.Incorporating extraordinary interviews with Marxist guerillas, resistance fighters, illegal paramilitaries, conscripts and regular volunteers, the book explores some of the myriad reasons that women across the ages have broken one of humanitys most fundamental taboos, to take up arms and fight for their kin, their ideas, their liberty, their lives
