  The Lost Cause and the Great War...

  The Lost Cause and the Great War tells the stories of central Tennessee Progressive-era reformers to illustrate the fascinating broader issue of how Southerners steeped in Lost Cause Civil War mythologies simultaneously developed patriotic American fervor. Focusing on Luke Lea, a prominent politician and American army officer who attempted to capture Kaiser Wilhelm II during World War I, the book reveals the intricate interplay between three competing ideas: attachment to the memory of the Confederacy, intense American nationalism, and advocacy for progressive reforms. 
   
   
   
  Hunt shows that Lea and his contemporaries sought either to harmonize these competing loyalties or to compartmentalize them to use when needed. Through insightful accounts of Tennessee's 1928 presidential campaign, the American Legion's response to cuts to veteran benefits in 1933, and the redefinition of America's global role post–World War II, Hunt shows how these reformers achieved a balance that held until the Civil Rights movement disrupted this delicate consensus. 
   
   
   
  Hunt's rich account reveals how Lea and others like him wove national patriotism and Southern collective memory into a cohesive narrative that supported their broader Progressive goals. The book provides vivid examples of how collective memory and narratives shape social and political movements.

  Damian Davino was losing control... 
  His obsession with Professor Sasha Petrovich has consumed him. Damian was so past the point of being 'hot for teacher' he was in a different stratosphere. Stuck as Sasha's lowly TA he can't catch a break until one day he finally snaps. No longer could he resist the urge to linger in his apartment, to inhale his scent, to leave his mark on everything he touched. His desire had turned dangerous. He wanted to possess Sasha completely, to wreck him, to eviscerate him. 
  As an alpha, Damian knew the rules. He was supposed to protect Sasha, not harm him. But the Barbaric Prowlers' leader had broken every law and treaty for the omega. The taste of Sasha's jasmine scent had driven Damian mad, and he was half-possessed by his deranged desire. He wanted to tear Sasha apart, to ravage him like a wolf devours its prey. This maddening infatuation had destroyed him, and Damian let it. 
  How far will Damian go to claim Sasha as his own? And what will happen when Sasha discovers the extent of Damian's obsession?

  A gripping and unflinching examination of one of the darkest chapters in modern history and the global forces that allowed it to unfold. 
  Between 1975 and 1979, Cambodia endured unimaginable horror under the Khmer Rouge regime, where nearly two million lives were lost to systematic brutality, starvation, and mass executions. But this is not just the story of a ruthless dictatorship; it is the story of how international powers, driven by Cold War rivalries and geopolitical interests, turned a blind eye and sometimes actively enabled the rise and reign of terror. 
  Drawing on newly uncovered documents, survivor testimonies, and incisive analysis, this book reveals the tangled web of political alliances, foreign interventions, and diplomatic failures that contributed to the genocide. From secret bombings and covert support to the paralysis of the United Nations, it exposes how global dynamics shaped Cambodia’s fate, allowing one of history’s greatest atrocities to remain hidden for decades. 
  The Cambodian Genocide challenges readers to confront uncomfortable truths about international responsibility, the cost of political indifference, and the enduring scars left on a nation. It is a vital, haunting reminder of how the world’s silence can become complicit in the darkest of crimes — and a call never to forget the lessons of history.
