  Bleeding Truth - A memoir

  Bleeding Truth is a powerful and deeply personal memoir that bears witness to the collision of history, justice, and the human spirit. Written by Dr. Shahram Azam, a physician and former military doctor, this book is not only a testimony of lived experience but also a search for truth in the face of silence and denial. 
  The story unfolds against the backdrop of Iran’s turbulent political climate, where repression, censorship, and fear shaped the lives of countless citizens. At its heart lies the harrowing case of Zahra Kazemi, an Iranian-Canadian journalist who was arrested, tortured, and killed in Tehran in 2003. Dr. Azam, then a physician at Baghiyyatollah Hospital, became one of the first witnesses to the physical evidence of her brutal injuries. His professional duty—and his conscience—compelled him to record what he saw, a choice that would forever alter his own life. 
  Bleeding Truth weaves together the personal and the political: memories of war and service as a doctor on the front lines, the responsibility of treating the wounded with compassion, and the haunting reality of becoming a reluctant witness to state violence. It is a narrative of exile and resilience, as Dr. Azam recounts the cost of speaking out and the journey that took him from the operating room in Tehran to a life in Canada, where he continues to carry the weight of memory and moral obligation. 
  The memoir does more than revisit a single tragedy. It speaks to broader questions of truth, accountability, and the human need to confront injustice, even when doing so carries profound risks. It is both a personal confession and a universal call to remember, to resist forgetting, and to honor the lives silenced by oppression.

  Dwight D Eisenhower: The True...

  Ask a random sample of people to name the History Makers of World War II and you can pretty much predict their answers. First on the list will be Adolf Hitler, who made history for all the wrong reasons, then next it could well be Sir Winston Churchill with his characteristic V for victory sign and large cigar. Such luminaries as Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery, fondly known to his men as “Monty”, General de Gaulle and President Franklin D Roosevelt are all likely to be in the top ten, along with Hitler’s henchmen Herman Goering and the Desert Fox, Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, as well as Italy’s fascist dictator Benito Mussolini. 
   
  Whether fighting for good or evil, each of these men had a larger-than-life persona, and although Hitler’s ruthlessness as a dictator kept the Nazis in line, the Allies needed to work together by more democratic means. The task of diplomatically leading these undoubtedly great but not always easy characters when it mattered most, fell to affable American, Dwight D Eisenhower, who certainly deserves to be called a History Maker of World War II.

  When Ryan Dennis's father was crushed by heavy machinery on their New York dairy farm, both men accepted the accident as a risk of agricultural life. But it was harder to comprehend being crushed by low milk prices, big banks, and the policies that destroyed America's family farms. Even though Ryan grew up watching his father and grandfather struggle to survive, he always thought he would follow in their footsteps and take over the family farm. But as he milked cows and fed calves, the world outside the barn was changing. Between 2003 and 2020, 40,000 dairy farms went out of business in the United States.Barn Gothic is an elegy for family farmers and an intimate portrait of three generations laboring to be fathers and sons while their livelihood falls apart. Beautifully told with a farmer's restraint and a poet's grace, it is a story of personal loss amid corporate corruption and of finding a way forward when everything you know disappears.
