After the Gulf War-1 and the liberation of Kuwait from the occupation of Iraq, the U.S. remained trapped in the Gulf without any clear ideas or planning and was totally separated from the international coalition which it had perfectly built to defeat the Iraqi leader Saddam Hussain The New world order that was proclaimed by the then U.S. President, George Bush Sr. the Dazzling Military Victory against Saddam Hussein's forces after it was drowned out of Kuwait. this victory in February 1991 and the collapse of the Soviet Union at the end of 1991 was the biggest gain for the U.S. resulting in the U.S. was duly proclaimed the only Superpower in the World. Immediately after the Gulf War-1 President Bush Sr, diverted forces on the Arab Israeli dispute. The defeat of Saddam Hussain and the collapse of Soviet Union gave a timely opportunity for the U.S. reshape the politics in the Middle East. Undoubtedly huge progress was made on all the attempts but the prospects for peace had shattered by unending violence between Israel and Palestine. However, the separation of Palestine from Israel was a big relief from conflict and violence in the region. With the political limitations and the sanction imposed on Iraq the U.S. was fully exposed and then the idea of bringing a regime change in Iraq became a strong decision in the U.S. government, but before this decision was taken the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency had made efforts to promote internal dissent to bring down Saddam Hussain, but the effort of CIA had failed miserably. The Bush Administration then decided to step up disbursement of funds to Iraq National Congress and the opposition forces to resume its activities in Iraq. The Bush Administration then had many more problems to handle. Iraq was a problem; North Korea was a problem and Iran was a problem and some like the one interrupting their Christmas dinner. and there were some other ones they had to deal with that particular moment.

HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics."e;In a moment I was clutched by several hands, and there was no mistaking that they were trying to haul me back . . . You can scarce imagine how nauseatingly inhuman they looked - those pale chinless faces and great, lidless, pinkish-grey eyes!"e;An English scientist regales his dinner guests with the tale of his travels to the year 802,701, where he discovers that the human race has evolved into two distinct societies. The Eloi, elegant and peaceful, yet lacking spirit, are terrorised by the sinister, light-fearing Morlocks, who live underground, surrounded by industry. And when his time machine mysteriously vanishes, the scientist must descend to the realm of the Morlocks in order to find his only hope of escape . . .H. G. Wells is considered a founding father of modern science fiction, coining the term 'time machine' and popularising the idea of time travel in literature.
Set amongst the rolling vineyards and gentle courtyards of a small seaside village in Catalonia, Patrick O'Brian's second novel is a poignant story of tumultuous love, complex faith and one man's desperate bid to reclaim his humanity.Summoned from his medical practice in China by a bevy of anxious aunts, Alain Roig returns to his Catalan hometown to discover he has been nominated by family members with vested interests in the ancestral property to prevent an impending marriage between his cold, ascetic cousin Xavier and Madeleine, a quiet, introspective village girl of unusual beauty. As Alain seeks to understand his cousin's complex motivations for wooing the unhappy girl, he is slowly drawn into Xavier's dark crisis of faith, the well-worn pattern of the sleepy Catalan days and the tight circle of village gossip that surrounds Madeleine.Throughout, Patrick O'Brian's slow, seductive narrative lures the reader into the landscapes, rhythms and passions of Catalonia, while his subtle, insightful characterisation paints a psychological portrait of a unique way of life and two very different men - one generous and impulsive, the other desperate to revive in his soul the dying flames of affection which he senses could be his salvation.With themes and characters that in many ways prefigure his enormously successful Aubrey/Maturin series, THE CATALANS demonstrates all the insight, lyricism and psychological drama that made O'Brian one of the best storytellers of his generation.
