The controversy over the use of primates in research admits of no easy answers We have all benefited from the medical discoveries of primate researchvaccines for polio rubella and hepatitis B are just a few But we have also learned more in recent years about how intelligent apes andmonkeys really are they can speak to us with sign language they can even play video games and are as obsessed with the games as any human teenager And activists have also uncovered widespread and unnecessarily callous treatment of animals by researchers in 1982 a Silver Spring lab was chargedwith 17 counts of animal cruelty It is a complex issue made more difficult by the combative stance of both researchers and animal activists In The Monkey Wars Deborah Blum gives a human face to this often caustic debateand an allbuthuman face to the subjects of the struggle the chimpanzees and monkeys themselves Blum crisscrosses America to show us first hand the issues and personalities involved She offers a wideranging informative look at animal rights activists now numbering some twelve million from the moderate Animal Welfare Institute to the highly radical Animal Liberation Front a group destructive enough to be placed on the FBIs terrorist list And she interviews a wide variety of researchers manyforced to conduct their work protected by barbed wire and alarm systems men and women for whom death threats and hate mail are common She takes us to Roger Foutss research center in Ellensburg Washington where we meet five chimpanzees trained in human sign languageLoulis Tatu Mojha Dar and the most famous Washoeand watch the flicker of their fingers as they talk to each other to themselves and to stuffed animals which Fouts sees as a clear sign of intelligence and even moreimagination Blum introduces us to Alex Pacheco a founder of People for Ethical Treatment ofAnimals and to his bitter enemy Peter Gerone head of the federal primate center at Tulane and an outspoken critic of animal rights activists who wants people to think about the tradeoff at its most fundamental levelhuman life versus animal life And we visit LEMSIP a research facility in NewYork State that has no barbed wire no alarmsand no protesters chanting outsidebecause its director Jan MoorJankowski listens to activists with respect and treats his animals humanely Along the way Blum offers us insights into the many sideissues involved scientists like Roger Fouts wholose funding because they support animal rights the intense battle to win over school kids fought by both sides and the danger of transplanting animal organs into humans it could possibly unleash a deadly highly infectious disease As it stands now Blum concludes the research community and its activist critics are like two different nations nations locked in a long bitter seemingly intractable political standoff But if you listen hard there really are people on both sides willing to accept and work within thecomplex middle When they can be freely heard then we will have progressed to another place beyond this time of hostilities In The Monkey Wars Deborah Blum gives these people their voic.

While the major conflicts in American history have become all too familiar, America’s ?small wars” have played an essential but little-appreciated role in the country’s growth as a world power. First published in 2002, The Savage Wars of Peace quickly became a key volume in the case for a new policy of interventionism. Max Boot shows how America’s smaller actions—such as the recent conflicts in Bosnia, Somalia, Haiti, Kosovo, and Afghanistan—have made up the vast majority of our military engagements, and yet our armed forces do little to prepare for these ?low intensity conflicts.”A compellingly readable history of the forgotten wars that helped promote America’s rise in the last two centuries, The Savage Wars of Peace is now updated with new material on the repercussions of America’s far-flung imperial actions and the impact of these ventures in American international affairs.
