The end of the Cold War era has not brought greater security to the world community. Although the likelihood of a global strategic nuclear war has been reduced significantly, we have already witnessed the impact of other challenges to international peace. The Gulf War raised the spectre of expanding regional conflicts adopting the means and methods of the previous superpower confrontation. The disintegration of the Horn of Africa, the Civil War in the Balkans, and the resurgence of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia all reveal the continuing power of historic ethnic, religious, and national rivalries, and the seeming inability of the international community to deal effectively with these tragedies. Weapons technologies, modern telecommunications and transportation, demographic changes and resource imbalances, and the globalization of production together raise enormous challenges as we move into the 21st century. Are the international institutions with which we have lived since the end of the Second World War up to the task? This book addresses many of these basic and profound issues.

Chapel Hill, North Carolina is home to one of college sports' finest traditions and programs—University of North Carolina Tar Heels basketball. When head coach Bill Gutheridge announced his retirement in 2000, only three years after replacing the legendary Dean Smith, Carolina kept it all in the family when filling one of the most coveted collegiate coaching positions in the country by naming Matt Doherty, former UNC player and first-year head coach of Notre Dame, to follow in Dean's footsteps. True Blue is an inside look at this fascinating transition of tradition. Author David DeWitt intensely followed Matt Doherty's first season at the helm of Carolina hoops—from the tumultuous days of Doherty's hiring to the top of the college basketball rankings to the ultimate disappointment of falling short of the Final Four. DeWitt takes you inside the locker rooms and huddles to reveal the courage and camaraderie of the players and coaches as they chased their collective dream of a national championship. More than just a story of one season, True Blue is a celebration of a program building on its rich roots and beginning a new era in its hoop history.
