The authors propose a planning concept for U.S. military expeditionary medical care that, by promoting patient flow rate as the common unit of measurement, will help integrate medical planning across treatment and evacuation functions, across the increasing levels of care, and across the different military services.

Review\n"The Hubris Of An Empty Hand is about the telling of stories and who they belong to, as much as it follows the frailty of humans and gods alike. Amouzegar is one of a kind, layering multiple elements and experiences into a cohesive collection. It's been a while since I've been genuinely excited about a book. Not that there haven't been any good books, but it can be rare finding a book that gets you antsy after spending too much time away. Reading The Hubris Of An Empty Hand is like coming home from the library with a stack of books you know you can't read all at once but you try anyway out of a curiosity to know all that they hold. Even better, like entering your favorite store. You want to experience everything it contains including the secret finds only the lucky discover. Amouzegar has amassed a treasure cove spilling over with valuables for every reader. No matter your genre preference, I urge you to grab this book as soon as you can. It's just that good."—Compulsive Reader\n"A contemplative exploration of both inner and external lives."—Buzzfeed News\n"A mysterious book that will make you re-evaluate your assumptions about Promethean gifts and the promise of knowledge." — Amy Crider, author of Disorder\n"A refreshing new voice. These stories surprise and enchant." —Peter Ocko, executive producer, Lodge 49\n"You are unlikely to read another book this year like The Hubris of an Empty Hand by Mahyar A. Amouzegar. Often dreamlike but rooted in sharp observations of human behavior, Amouzegar has a gift for fully inhabiting his characters and bringing the reader along with him. These stories linger in the mind long after you've read them." Chuck Augello, Cease, Cows\nIn eight ethereal stories, The Hubris of an Empty Hand encompasses the frailty and complexity of being human. When some divine gifts fall into decidedly earthly hands, the results are almost beyond reckoning for humans and gods both. Through its wide cast of characters and fascinating settings, terrestrial, divine, or somewhere in-between, Mahyar A. Amouzegar's fourth book of fiction takes on timeless questions of love and its permanence, sacrifice, and the human desire to be remembered and known.

The Hubris of an Empty Hand

Set in jungles of Vietnam and a bucolic town in Pennsylvania, A Dark Sunny Afternoon is a psychological drama about Alfonso J. Al-Hakim who continues to be haunted by the accidental killing of an innocent peasant by his own hands decades earlier. The dead man refuses to stay where he has fallen and continues to speak to Alfonso in an earnest voice. Alfonso tries to dismiss the dead man as a figment of his imagination, yet the dead peasant does not leave Alfonso but instead accompanies him as an acquaintance who is relentless and at times overbearing. Twenty years later, Alfonso marries Julia Tench, an independent resolute woman. When they move to Wellsboro, Pennsylvania, the move does not bring the solace Alfonso seeks. The dead man insists Alfonso has made an error in his decision. He has to make a choice, to kill the one he loves or kill the one he needs.

An important consideration when deciding to mitigate or accept a risk from a cyber attack to a weapon system is how it affects operational missions. To analyze mission impact, the authors propose a methodology that aims to achieve two goals: to be comprehensive enough to be executed at the scale of each of the missions in the U.S. Air Force yet simple enough to be updated as needed to guide decisions to accept or to mitigate specific risks.
