In "Memoirs of the Confederate War for Independence," Heros von Borcke offers a compelling and detailed first-hand account of his experiences during the American Civil War as an officer in the Confederate cavalry. Written with a vivid literary style that combines the immediacy of personal narrative with a reflective tone, von Borcke's memoirs capture the chaos of battle, the camaraderie among soldiers, and the strategic complexities faced by the Confederacy. Set against the backdrop of a deeply divided nation, his text provides significant insights into the wartime experiences of foreign volunteers, as well as the broader context of Southern identity. Heros von Borcke, a Prussian military officer, was drawn to the Confederate cause in part due to his admiration for the qualities of Southern leadership. His unique perspective as an outsider, coupled with a thorough understanding of military tactics, enriches his narrative with both authenticity and critical analysis. Von Borcke's background and experiences provide a distinctive lens through which to assess the personal and collective struggles of the Confederacy, making his work an important historical document. Readers intrigued by the complexities of war, identity, and loyalty will find "Memoirs of the Confederate War for Independence" an essential addition to their understanding of the American Civil War. This memoir not only serves as a personal reflection but also immerses the reader in the socio-political currents of the time, making it a thought-provoking exploration of conflict and commitment.

    Presciently researched before the invasion of Ukraine, Blowing up Ukraine is the first comprehensive investigation into the lethal methods Russia has used since 1999 to take over Ukraine – culminating in full-blown unprovoked war in 2022 and mounting atrocities. In this chilling, riveting and alarming narrative the authors cite ample evidence, draw historical analogies, and marshal sources that are new, little known, or anonymous by necessity.Over twenty years, Vladimir Putin skilfully manipulated Ukraine's self-serving politicians and oligarchs, only to be thwarted time and again by peaceful revolutions of ordinary Ukrainians – the Maidan – against government corruption and being pushed into Russia's arms. As Putin became obsessed with conquering Ukraine, Blowing up Ukraine shows how the Kremlin has become a threat to global stability and Ukraine is almost certain to be the first battleground of World War III if the West is not careful to take a stance
