    In late 2019, Dennis Oya's persistent cough was just the beginning of a harrowing tale of neglect and systemic failure in a Washington prison. Diagnosed eighteen months later with tuberculosis (TB), Oya's case sparked one of the largest prison TB outbreaks in decades, affecting over 3,000 contacts. This outbreak, and others like it, exposes the glaring weaknesses in prison healthcare systems. 
     
     
     
    In Outbreak Behind Bars, Homer Venters reveals the grim realities of how communicable diseases thrive in the overcrowded, unsanitary conditions of correctional facilities.

The book highlights the stories of those who suffered, the failures in health care provision, and offers specific guidance for public health professionals in conducting investigations and facility inspections during outbreaks behind bars. 
     
     
     
    With firsthand accounts and expert analysis, this book illustrates the urgent need for reform in prison health care to protect incarcerated people and the wider community. Outbreak Behind Bars is a crucial listen for anyone concerned about justice, public health, and the overlooked plight of incarcerated people, especially students, faculty, and professionals in the field of public health.

    "Well-written and meticulously researched, the book is an excellent example of truth being more interesting than fiction. It is easy to read with photos, charts and maps that help the reader keep pace with the action." — ARMY MagazineThroughout history there has always been a need, in military forces, for special units. In the past, these units have usually been ad hoc formations that were disbanded after their mission was complete. It has only been since the early 1950s that such units have remained active, but even in recent times special purpose, special mission units have been organized and used for a period of time or for a specific mission and then either deactivated or replaced by other units.  This unique approach to the history of American special forces examines their development through a number of operations, ranging from the French and Indian War in the 18th century through to the Vietnam War. From the Son Tay raid to the Force at la Difensa and Rogers’ Rangers, the operations are diverse in both organization and purpose, but all contributed to the overall mission of their theater or larger organization, thus proving the continuing need for special units throughout history and even today.

    Feudalism is often regarded as one of the defining features of medieval European society, deeply influencing the social, political, and economic structures from the 9th to the 15th century. At its core, feudalism is a system of reciprocal relationships based on land ownership, loyalty, and service. It is a hierarchical structure where power and land are distributed among various levels of society, creating an intricate web of obligations and rights. Understanding the foundations of feudalism requires examining its emergence, the key concepts involved, and its significance in shaping medieval societies. 
    The origins of feudalism can be traced back to the collapse of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century. With the fall of centralized Roman authority, European territories faced instability and frequent invasions, notably from the Vikings, Magyars, and Muslims. As local rulers sought to protect their lands and people, they established systems of landholding that were based on personal loyalty rather than the centralized control of a king or emperor. This shift marked the beginning of feudalism. The need for defense and local governance led to a system where lords granted land, known as fiefs, to vassals in exchange for military service or other forms of support. The vassals, in turn, would offer protection and land to lower-ranking individuals, establishing a hierarchical pyramid of power. 
    At the heart of feudalism lies the concept of mutual obligations. Lords, who were often nobility or monarchs, provided land to their vassals, who were typically knights or lesser nobles. In return, vassals pledged their loyalty, military service, and counsel to their lords.
