Sinossi

In "The 'Scots Brigade,' and other tales," James Grant weaves together a rich tapestry of historical narratives set against the backdrop of 17th-century Scotland and the broader landscape of the British Isles. Employing a vivid literary style that marries meticulous research with engaging storytelling, Grant brings to life the lives of the Scottish soldiers who participated in the tumultuous wars of the period. The tales blend historical fact with fiction, reflecting the complex interplay of loyalty, bravery, and the sociopolitical forces shaping Scottish identity during this era, capturing both the heroic and tragic elements of their experiences. James Grant, a notable Scottish author and historian, drew inspiration from his own heritage and the rich oral traditions of Scotland, which fueled his interest in the narratives of the Scots. His background as an advocate and historian, coupled with his passion for uncovering lesser-known stories, illuminated the often overlooked contributions of Scots in wider historical events. Grant's dedication to preserving these narratives not only offers insights into Scottish culture but also highlights the broader European context of warfare and allegiance. Readers seeking a compelling exploration of Scottish history and identity will find "The 'Scots Brigade,' and other tales" an essential addition to their literary collection. Grant's work is not only a feast for history enthusiasts but also provides poignant reflections on the human condition, making it a highly recommended read for anyone interested in the rich tapestry of Scottish heritage.

    This book delves into genocide in Palestine, and the war crisis in eastern Europe, West Asia and East Asia. It examines the role of the Big Lie in blunting popular opposition, and describes ways countries around the world and the general public are pressing for peace.  
    The world is in a crisis now. As its empire declines toward collapse, the United States leadership is making a series of disastrous errors. The “neocons” in Washington, DC, are determined to maintain U.S. global domination regardless of what it might take. The stakes are high for them. They seem to believe that if they “allow” any other country to challenge their global leadership, their whole system could fall apart. 
    So they are prepared to do whatever it takes. Supporting genocide in Israel—by providing weapons, money, and a bizarre “moral justification” for horrific genocidal bombing—is a sign of what it takes. Blowing up the Nord Stream pipeline was another sign of what it can take. 
    Western European leaders have been rounded up and bludgeoned into a unified NATO alliance against Russia, and in support of Israeli genocide against Palestinians. This alliance—originally composed of “north Atlantic” countries under U.S. leadership at the end of World War II—is now also being extended to Asia. It’s a quest to curb China’s historic economic success, which threatens Western domination of global trade. 
    A new peace movement is emerging. It faces enormous obstacles, including a gigantic wave of war hysteria engineered in Washington, magnified exponentially by a captive mainstream media that seems to have abandoned all pretense of critical journalistic independence and objectivity. But as facts emerge and truth surfaces, the movement for peace will intensify. 
    Combined with the horrific results of sanctions and war, these facts and truths can be expected to bring ever greater waves of opposition and resistance into the fray.

    *** Premium Ebook with beautiful layout ***The men of olden times who wrought well in prayer, who brought the largest things to pass, who moved God to do great things, were those who were entirely given over to God in their praying. God wants, and must have, all that there is in man in answering his prayers. He must have whole-hearted men through whom to work out His purposes and plans concerning men. God must have men in their entirety. No double-minded man need apply. No vacillating man can be used. No man with a divided allegiance to God, and the world and self, can do the praying that is needed.In one word, the entire man without reservation must love God. So it takes the same entire man to do the praying which God requires of men. All the powers of man must be engaged in it. God cannot tolerate a divided heart in the love He requires of men, neither can He bear with a divided man in praying.
