John W. Stockwell

    John R. Stockwell je bývalý dôstojník CIA, ktorý sa po trinástich rokoch služby a siedmich turnusoch stal kritikom politík americkej vlády. Po riadení účasti USA v Angolskej občianskej vojne ako vedúci angolskej pracovnej skupiny počas jej tajných operácií v roku 1975 rezignoval a napísal knihu In Search of Enemies, ktorá zostáva jediným podrobným pohľadom zasväteného do významnej „tajnej akcie“ CIA. Jeho dielo ponúka jedinečný pohľad do vnútorného fungovania tajných operácií a dôsledkov americkej zahraničnej politiky. Stockwellove spisy sú svedectvom jeho hlbokého sklamania z vládnych praktík a jeho úsilia odhaliť pravdu o tajných operáciách.

      Originally published in 1994. Filling a gap in the sound recordings of traditional Anglo-American folk music this volume covers both vocal and instrumental material from the 1920s to the 1990s. The listings have also been limited to performers native to the tradition rather than "revival" performers. The album selection is grouped into field recordings and commercial (pre-1942) recordings, with subdivisions into individual recordings or anthologies. The discography not only reflects its author¿s in-depth knowledge of Anglo-American folk music¿s historical development but charts a valuable step forward in the evaluation, as well as select lissting, of available sound recordings.
