“This new threat has emerged from an on-going revolution in technology that poses one of the greatest dangers to Americans since the advent of the atomic bomb and we have no effective countermeasure.” –Anonymous Military Capabilities Expert•IS ANOTHER BENGHAZI IN THE MAKING?•DID THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE FIX THE INSTITUTIONAL PROBLEMS AT THE ROOT OF THE BENGHAZI DISASTER?•IS A NEW AND FAR MORE DANGEROUS THREAT BEING IGNORED?•HOW WILL THE NEXT ATTACK BE CARRIED OUT?•WHAT CAN BE DONE TO PREVENT IT?In The Next Benghazi, the author answers these questions and more. The U.S. Department of State is called to task for failing to learn the lessons of the Benghazi attack. Just as in Benghazi, U.S. Government personnel overseas are under the threat of an attack and this time the threat is far worse. Disturbingly, despite numerous experts sounding the alarm, this threat has been largely disregarded by leadership. For those willing to listen, The Next Benghazi is a call to action and addressed to the senior leadership of the U.S. Government. It’s a roadmap for institutional change before more Americans lose their lives. The author seeks to solve the conundrum of how to force leadership to take appropriate actions when normal institutional channels miss, ignore, or downplay serious threats to Americans. Through careful analysis of the post-Benghazi investigation and the use of a realistic, but fictional account of the next attack, the reader is walked through how these threats develop, why this time it’s so dangerous, and how organizations need to change to defend our people and installations. The Next Benghazi is an eye-opening warning to all who will listen. Read it now before it’s too late.

[Translated by Simon Armitage][Read by Bill Wallis]The famous Middle English poem by an anonymous English poet is beautifully translated by fellow poet Simon Armitage in this edition. Sir Gawain and the Green Knight narrates in crystalline verse the strange tale of a green knight who rudely interrupts the Round Table festivities one Yuletide, casting a pall of unease over the company and challenging one of their number to a wager. The virtuous Gawain accepts and decapitates the intruder with his own ax. Gushing blood, the knight reclaims his head, orders Gawain to seek him out a year hence, and departs. Next Yuletide Gawain dutifully sets forth. His quest for the Green Knight involves a winter journey, a seduction scene in a dream-like castle, a dire challenge answered, and a drama of enigmatic reward disguised as psychic undoing.

Arthurian legends have long been the source of countless popular tales. “Sir Gawain and the Green Knight” is one of the best known and most widely read. During King Arthur’s New Year’s celebration, a mysterious knight, with green clothes and horse, arrives with a challenge to the knights of the round table—any one of them may swing at the Green Knight with an axe if he too is willing to take a blow one year and one day after. Gawain, one of Arthur’s most noble knights, steps up and easily beheads the Green Knight. Yet the knight magically picks up his head and tells Gawain he will see him in one year and one day. Gawain must go through many tribulations during this year as he upholds the values of the chivalric code, approaching reunion with the enigmatic character. Jessie L. Weston, a noted medieval scholar and folklorist, provides a skilled prose rendition staying true to the original while maintaining readability. “Sir Gawain and the Green Knight” continues to resonate and captivate readers today.
