Sinossi

Ashanti Power explores the fascinating history of the Ashanti Empire in West Africa, a kingdom renowned for its wealth in gold and its fierce resistance to colonialism. The book reveals how the Ashanti people, located in present-day Ghana, maintained their sovereignty for centuries against European powers, particularly the British.

One key to their success was a highly organized military, capable of strategic campaigns. Another was a sophisticated system of governance, centered around the Asantehene and the symbolic Golden Stool, which served as both a political and spiritual emblem of the nation. The book delves into the three pillars of Ashanti strength: military organization, governance, and enduring cultural practices. It traces the empire's origins with figures like Osei Tutu and Okomfo Anokye, examines its military tactics, and analyzes its government and cultural traditions.

By drawing upon diverse sources, including oral histories, colonial accounts, and archaeological findings, Ashanti Power offers a balanced perspective on the empire's strengths and weaknesses. The book progresses chronologically, from the empire's rise in the late 17th century to its incorporation into the Gold Coast colony in the early 20th century. It highlights the Anglo-Ashanti Wars and the empire's lasting legacy, challenging simplistic narratives of conquest and resistance.

This exploration of Ashanti culture, political science, and military history provides lessons in political organization, cultural resilience, and strategic adaptation.

Adrianne Moloney

The Quilt of Hope holds the threads of unlived lives and joins them together to reveal a dark history in the Catholic Diocese of Ballarat.

This is an inspirational story of people who chose to stand up in the face of evil and work together to challenge the collective silence of the Catholic Church and the wider Catholic community.

John - The World English Bible...

Various Authors

The Gospel of John is the fourth of the four canonical gospels. It contains a highly schematic account of the ministry of Jesus, with seven "signs" culminating in the raising of Lazarus (foreshadowing the resurrection of Jesus) and seven "I am" discourses (concerned with issues of the church-synagogue debate at the time of composition) culminating in Thomas' proclamation of the risen Jesus as "my Lord and my God". The gospel's concluding verses set out its purpose, "that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name.

Life and Death at Abbey Gate -...

Mikael Cook, Robert Conlin

As the American government began a disastrous mass evacuation of its Afghan allies, a group of American veterans saw the writing on the wall—the people who had supported them on the ground over the past two decades were going to be left behind. Instead of watching on the sideline, they sprang into action. The effort became known nationally as #DigitalDunkirk, in reference to the civilian aspect of the evacuation of soldiers from the beaches of Dunkirk in 1940. As America's last days in Afghanistan came to a chaotic end, an ad-hoc group of veterans, intelligence assets and legislative aides undertook an extraordinary mission to leave no comrade behind. 
 
 
 
Relying on cell phones and satellites as their weapons, they worked around the clock to help evacuate as many Afghans as possible. As the desperate mass of Afghans tried to flee brutal Taliban rule, Marines of the 2nd Battalion, 1st Marines, worked at Hamid Karzai International Airport's Abbey Gate in conditions that brought combat-hardened veterans to tears. After an ISIS suicide bomber detonated his S-vest, killing thirteen United States service members, operations came to a halt. 
 
 
 
Life and Death at Abbey Gate tells the story behind the story of the mass evacuation of over 124,000 Americans and Afghan allies during a two-week period in the summer of 2021.

UAPs and the Nuclear Puzzle -...

Robert Salas, Stanton T....

In 1969 the US Air Force issued a statement that read‚ "No UFO reported, investigated, and evaluated by the Air Force was ever an indication of threat to our national security." This statement has been proven untrue by the testimony of many military officers and airmen and documentation of incidents involving UFOs and nuclear weapons, testimonies of which the US Air Force was fully aware. UAPs and the Nuclear Puzzle details many of these testimonies, some for the first time. 
 
 
 
As partial justification for its position, the Air Force cites a University of Colorado study that was contracted and paid for by federal funds. UAPs and the Nuclear Puzzle reveals how this study was actually just another part of the plan to cover up the reality of the UFO phenomenon. This book reveals evidence that the investigators for the Colorado study knew about the UFO-related missile shutdown incidents but did not investigate them or include them in their final report. 
 
 
  
As stated by Robert Salas: "To date, many former or retired US Air Force personnel—once trusted to operate or guard weapons of mass destruction—have come forward and revealed ongoing UFO surveillance of, and occasional interference with, our nuclear weapons. The entire body of these factual accounts alters the historical perspective on the nuclear arms race."
