  Forging the Will to Fight 
  By Heston Russell 
  In Forging the Will to Fight, retired Special Forces Major Heston Russell delivers a raw and deeply personal memoir that cuts through the mythology of war to reveal the real human cost — and courage — of leadership in combat and beyond. 
  From commanding elite Australian commandos in Afghanistan and Iraq to facing the internal battles of identity, purpose, and public scrutiny, Heston’s story is one of intense service, sacrifice, and the lifelong pursuit of integrity. Through powerful firsthand accounts, the book captures the adrenaline of missions, the heartbreak of loss, and the heavy responsibility of leading others through the most unforgiving conditions. 
  But the battlefield is only the beginning. 
  Returning home, Heston finds himself in a new kind of fight — for justice, for truth, and for the honour of his platoon. His landmark Federal Court defamation victory against the ABC is not just a legal case but a stand against the erosion of trust, truth, and the dignity of those who serve. 
  Forging the Will to Fight is more than a military memoir. It is a guide to resilience, a reflection on leadership forged in adversity, and a call to live with courage, character, and conviction. This is a story for anyone who has ever questioned their purpose — and fought to find it.

  Richard Sorge and the Cambridge...

  Soviet Russia followed a philosophy demanding international, global revolution – which, in practice, often resembled conquest by any means available, direct or indirect. While the Soviets never hesitated to use naked force when it seemed advisable, or when compelled to it by outside attack, they made intensive use of covert operations – spying, assassination, bribery, infiltration of governments and educational systems, the deployment of agents provocateur and “agitprop” – in an effort to weaken other nations from within or possibly cause takeover by a friendly revolutionary regime.  
  Soviet agents operated in all European countries and others, but their main efforts naturally focused on the strongest potential rivals – Germany, the United States, and Great Britain. Intelligent, persistent, and ruthless, the Soviets succeeded in recruiting a considerable number of agents, including men from the British ruling class. 
  Their activities enabled the Soviets to capture and execute hundreds, if not thousands, of the opponents of their regime along with numbers of British agents. The men responsible for this unprecedented leaking of life-or-death information would enter history as the Cambridge Five – though in fact, they may have been only the core of a much larger group.  
  Occasionally, a spy will be so successful that they are able to place themselves in a position where they have access to information at the highest levels, secrets that really can change the course of world events. Sometimes, these spies may even be as handsome, charming, charismatic, and bold as their fictional counterparts.	One such spy was a man named Richard Sorge. Experiencing the horrors of World War I at first-hand turned Sorge into an ardent communist, after which he worked as a spy for the USSR in Germany, China, and Japan before and during World War II. He obtained vital military and political secrets and maintained his cover for over nine years.

  “This book stands as a valuable addition to the growing library of works on the lived experiences of Appalachians and how folk magic continues to be a valuable part of their cultural identity. I hope, after you read this, that you feel as in love with this land and its citizens, both human and more than human, as I do. Long live Appalachia!” —Rebecca Beyer, author of Wild Witchcraft   In an ode to her Appalachian roots and ancestors, known and unknown, of blood and kin, Leah Middleton, the Redheaded Witch, tells the stories of the grandfathers who had dirt under their fingernails from farming, the grandmothers who bled while sewing their garments, the relatives who decided to take a leap of faith and pave a new path, the ones who passed away too young, and the fellow practitioners and healers who showed her the way. It is a work of veneration to keep their spirits alive. If you share similar roots or find yourself creating new ones, this magical book is a hand to welcome you home.  Explore the superstitions of the mountains, the healing charms of doctors, and the folk beliefs of witchery.  Wander down shadowy paths lined with rhododendrons, uncovering the hidden corners where charms are whispered and prayers are spoken.  Uncover the superstitions captured in this region that have inspired magical workings for protection and healing.  Learn to walk the witch’s path as a rite conducted with reverence and solemnity.  Appalachia is a place where the lines between the mundane and the magical are blurred, and Magic from the Hilltops and Hollers offers readers exquisite insight into the enduring lore and magic of the region.

  Adam and Eve and The Great Reset...

  Classified for 50 years by the CIA - now the hidden truth is revealed. 
  In 1966, The Adam and Eve Story by Chan Thomas shocked the scientific world with a chilling theory: sudden, violent pole shifts have erased civilizations in a single day. Within months, the CIA seized the manuscript, releasing only a heavily redacted 57-page fragment decades later. The rest-over 200 pages-vanished from public view. 
  Adam and Eve and the Great Reset uncovers the full story. From Hapgood's Earth crust displacement theory to modern evidence of global floods, ancient civilizations, and lost knowledge, this investigation connects the dots between archaeology, astronomy, and suppressed history. 
  Drawing on the work of Randall Carlson, Graham Hancock, The Comet Research Group, and The Ethical Skeptic, the book reveals that our ancestors left warnings carved into stone, encoded in myth, and aligned with the stars. Göbekli Tepe, the pyramids of Giza, and more than 175 flood legends all point to the same terrifying truth - Earth's cataclysm cycle is real, and we may be closer to the next reset than we think. 
  Secrets can be hidden. Warnings can be ignored. But the cycle cannot be stopped.
