    “We destroyed a whole enemy brigade (47 Brigade) on the Lomba. History will prove it to be one of the most glorious and successful actions that South African forces ever took part in.” – General Jannie Geldenhuys, as quoted in Cuito Cuanavale 
     
    On 3 October 1987 Charlie Squadron – the iron fist of 61 Mechanised Battalion Group – led the way in a decisive battle on the Lomba River in southern Angola, as part of the South African Defence Force’s Operation Moduler.  
    Although SADF tactical doctrine dictated that the tanks of the Angolan 47 Brigade be countered with tanks, the young conscripts of Charlie Squadron were forced to face their enemy in vastly inferior Ratels, significantly handicapped by the vehicles’ thin armour and low-velocity guns. Not only were they facing a force far superior in terms of weaponry, but they were also hugely outnumbered and had to deal with terrain so dense that their sight was severely impaired and their movement restricted. 
    Through interviews with veterans of the battle and diary entries from the time, Leopold Scholtz recreates the drama of this David vs Goliath battle, taking the reader straight to the heart of the action. A deeply human story, Ratels on the Lomba tells of how individuals react in the face of death, and reveals how the war never left these men, not even when they returned home.

    What if reality itself is a union? 
    Not a division between spirit and matter… 
    but a dance between consciousness and energy. 
    In Shiva and Shakti, Dr Bhaskar Bora takes you into the heart of Tantra—not as myth, not as sensationalism, but as one of the most profound philosophical and spiritual systems ever developed. 
    At its core lies a simple yet revolutionary vision: 
    Shiva is consciousness. 
    Shakti is energy. 
    And all of existence is their union. 
    Drawing from classical Tantric texts, Shaiva and Shakta traditions, and centuries of philosophical insight, this book explores: 
    • What Tantra really is (beyond myths and misconceptions) 
    • The true meaning of Shiva and Shakti 
    • The role of the body, energy, and consciousness in spiritual practice 
    • The rise and evolution of Tantra across Indian history 
    • The sacred feminine and the power of Shakti 
    • The relationship between Tantra, Vedanta, Yoga, and other darshanas 
    • The deeper symbolism behind rituals, mantras, and kundalini 
    This is not a superficial introduction. 
    It is a deep, reflective, and intellectually grounded exploration—written for those who want to understand Tantra as a living philosophy, not a distorted stereotype. 
    Whether you are: 
    • A student of Hindu philosophy 
    • A seeker exploring consciousness and spirituality 
    • A reader curious about Tantra beyond popular myths 
    • Or someone drawn to the deeper meaning of Shiva and Shakti 
    this book offers a powerful new lens. 
    Tantra does not reject the world. 
    It reveals it as sacred. 
    And in that revelation, it asks a profound question: 
    What if everything you experience is already divine?

    John Wesley Hardin had already become one of the most feared gunmen on the American frontier before his twenty-fifth birthday. A gambler, outlaw, and lightning-fast draw, Hardin left a trail of bodies across Texas that made even hardened lawmen hesitate to pursue him. When he was finally captured, authorities couldn't even agree on his true body count—estimates ranged from twenty to over forty victims. After his arrest, Hardin seemed destined to die behind bars. Yet through a combination of cunning, legal study, and political connections, he secured an unlikely pardon and walked free. His release sparked outrage across the state, but Hardin remained unrepentant to the end, insisting that he never killed anyone who didn't deserve it. 
    This is the complete, unvarnished account of America's most notorious gunslinger. From his first killing at age fifteen to his violent death in an El Paso saloon, discover the true story of the man who embodied the lawless spirit of the Wild West.
