  By September 1944 the Germany army in France had been decimated and survivors were streaming back to the Reich. The British SAS commanders were clearing the way for the American armies of George S. Patton, Alexander Patch, and Courtney Hodges. By the afternoon of September 11, 1944, men of the US 5th Armored Division penetrated the poorly defended Siegfried Line. Yet just when the Rhine was ripe for the taking General Dwight D. Eisenhower ordered all further advances to be halted. Could combination of American forces supported by the British SAS have crossed the Rhine and thrust into the heart of Germany in the autumn of 1944? Did Eisenhower's rigid adherence to his strategy delay the end of the war by several months and cause thousands of men to lose their lives during the Battle of the Bulge? 
   
   
   
  Death on a Distant Frontier is a hard-hitting reappraisal of Eisenhower's tactics. Through extensive research Charles Whiting shines a light on the conflicts between the various generals and explores how Eisenhower conducted the war to ensure that his insiders reaped the glory of being the first American army to cross the Rhine. As a veteran of this campaign, Whiting was a witness to the turmoil that reigned during this period, yet through his fast-paced narrative and informed analysis he is able to provide vivid insight into this much-overlooked period of WWII.

  Deceptive Influence - Using...

  Cito Harder

  Deceptive influence is a powerful tool used to manipulate thoughts, emotions, and decisions without the awareness of the affected individual. It operates through misleading tactics that distort reality, making people believe in false narratives or act against their best interests. This form of influence is found in various aspects of life, from personal relationships and workplaces to politics, marketing, and media. While influence itself is a natural part of human interaction, deception adds a layer of unethical persuasion that raises moral and psychological concerns. 
  At its core, deceptive influence relies on psychological vulnerabilities. People tend to trust familiar sources, respond emotionally before rationally analyzing information, and make decisions based on incomplete or distorted data. Manipulators exploit these tendencies by using selective truth, exaggeration, omission of key facts, and emotional appeals to push individuals toward specific actions or beliefs. The effectiveness of deceptive influence is largely due to its subtlety; victims often fail to recognize they are being misled until it is too late. 
  One of the most concerning aspects of deceptive influence is its widespread presence in modern society. In personal relationships, individuals may use gaslighting, guilt-tripping, or selective storytelling to control or manipulate their partners, friends, or family members. In the workplace, deceptive influence appears in corporate messaging, office politics, and misleading leadership practices. Companies use psychological tactics to create false urgency, encourage impulsive decisions, or present misleading information to employees and consumers.

  Anubis - Ancient Egypt’s Lord of...

  Charlie Larson, Jason Miller

  Anubis is among the most recognizable gods of ancient Egypt. Is Anubis a relic of the past, or is he actively venerated now? Author Charlie Larson, a longtime priest and devotee of Anubis, answers these questions and more. Portrayed as either a black jackal or as a jackal-headed man, Anubis is Egypt's original Lord of the Dead. Anubis's domain extends beyond death, however; he is also a guardian of children and travelers and a finder of lost things. He is as modern as he is ancient—appearing in comic books, video games, and in Neil Gaiman's book American Gods and its television adaptation. 
   
   
    
  Anubis was among the most significant gods of ancient Egypt. In modern times, Anubis has emerged as a sacred patron of mediums and occultists. It's widely believed that his image is among the two canines found on the tarot Moon card. 
   
   
    
  Long overshadowed, at least in books, by Egyptian goddesses such as Isis and Sekhmet, Larson's book focuses the spotlight squarely on the jackal-headed god. His book features history and mythology but is also a practical guide to working with Anubis now. It features devotional practices and modern worship that includes rituals, prayers/invocations, correspondences, altars, and epithets. The book leads the listener on a journey of exploration into all things Anubis, exploring his various facets.

  In the Socrates Meets series, Peter Kreeft revives the classic method of bringing philosophy to life through dialogue. In eight innovative volumes, he uncovers the principles, assumptions, and sometimes dangerous conclusions of some of history’s most influential minds.  Each dialogue imagines a purgatory where we can listen in on conversations between Socrates and the great thinkers who, centuries later, picked up the philosopher’s torch. Each conversation investigates one of the philosopher’s key works, a short, readable classic that raises central questions both for philosophy and for life. In this volume, Socrates cross-examines Jean-Paul Sartre, the father of existentialism and author of Existentialism and Human Emotions, exploring human identity, atheism, morality, and meaning.
