  John Potts Slough, the Union commander at the Battle of Glorieta Pass, lived a life of relentless pursuit for success that entangled him in the turbulent events of mid-nineteenth-century America. As a politician, Slough fought abolitionists in the Ohio legislature and during Kansas Territory's fourth and final constitutional convention. He organized the 1st Colorado Volunteer Infantry after the Civil War broke out, eventually leading his men against Confederate forces at the pivotal engagement at Glorieta Pass. After the war, as chief justice of the New Mexico Territorial Supreme Court, he struggled to reform corrupt courts amid the territory's corrosive Reconstruction politics. 
   
   
   
  Slough was known to possess a volcanic temper and an easily wounded pride. These traits not only undermined a promising career but ultimately led to his death at the hands of an aggrieved political enemy who gunned him down in a Santa Fe saloon. Recounting Slough's timeless story of rise and fall during America's most tumultuous decades, historian Richard L. Miller brings to life this extraordinary figure.

  In 1965, Singapore's GDP per capita was on a par with Jordan. Now it has outstripped Japan. After the Second World War and a sudden rupture with newly formed Malaysia, Singapore found itself independent–and facing a crisis. It took the bloody-minded determination and vision of Lee Kuan Yew, its founding premier, to take a small island of diverse ethnic groups with a fragile economy and hostile neighbors and meld it into Asia's first globalized city.Lion City examines the different faces of Singaporean life–from education and health to art, politics, and demographic challenges–and reveals how in just half a century, Lee forged a country with a buoyant economy and distinctive identity. It explores the darker side of how this was achieved too; through authoritarian control that led to it being dubbed "Disneyland with the death penalty."Jeevan Vasagar, former Singapore correspondent for the Financial Times, masterfully takes us through the intricate history, present, and future of this unique diamond-shaped island one degree north of the equator, where new and old have remained connected. Lion City is a personal, insightful, and definitive guide to the city, and how its extraordinary rise is shaping East Asia and the rest of the world.

  In his groundbreaking new book, Counterpunch, Floyd G. Brown issues both the battle cry and a strategic action plan for a populist movement in America that goes beyond any president or political party. Issue by issue, the Left chooses new markers in the sand and waits to see who will embrace their agenda. Those who don' t are canceled and silenced. This leads to alienation and the feeling that violence is the only option left. Brown wants readers to know there is another way, a civil disobedience of the state that allows us to be peaceful— and potentially more successful. Counterpunch explains step-by-step how you can take part in a second American Revolution that will completely reorder the country under new governing principles. Touted as the Christian answer to Saul Alinsky' s Rules for Radicals, Brown' s Counterpunch outlines a strategy for mobilizing a peaceful resistance that leads to collective action. Utilizing an evergreen approach that isn' t focused on specific public policy issues, Floyd delivers a practical, biblically based plan for every American that will lead to the renewal of liberty.

  Canada Under Siege - How PEI...

  In a chilling tale of soft power, corruption, and covert influence, Canada Under Siege pulls back the curtain on how the Chinese Communist Party quietly turned Prince Edward Island into a strategic forward operating base—right under the noses of Islanders and Ottawa alike.
  		 
  Drawing from a nearly two-year investigation by veteran intelligence officer and Chief of Asia Pacific (CSIS) Michel Juneau-Katsuya, former RCMP financial crime chief Garry Clement, and publisher Dean Baxendale, this groundbreaking exposé follows the money, the land grabs, the political manipulation, and the elites, captured or compromised.
  		This is not fiction. With whistleblower testimony, court documents, and explosive first-hand accounts stretching from Charlottetown to Taiwan, this book connects the dots between organized crime, espionage, elite capture, and Beijing’s United Front Work Department.
  		 
  What emerges is a damning picture of how one of the world’s most authoritarian regimes used immigration loopholes, Buddhist temples, and Anne of Green Gables to anchor its influence in Canada’s Prince Edward Island, the birthplace of Canadian Confederation. With China’s increased belligerence towards taking Taiwan by force, the authors show readers how the infiltration of Buddhist groups is playing a key role in the soft power dynamic in Taiwan and around the world, particularly as it relates to His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Tibetan Buddhism.
  		 
  Canada Under Siege is more than an exposé, it’s a warning. The threat is no longer at the gates. It’s already here. The time to act is now.
