  "The Comanche Perspective" illuminates one of the most infamous events in early Texas history—the Council House Fight. Traditionally portrayed through a narrow, one-sided lens, this book challenges the conventional narrative by exploring the complex web of cultural misunderstandings and mounting tensions between the Penateka Comanche and the Texians. Drawing on diverse perspectives and in-depth research, it reveals how mutual distrust and hostility led to the tragic clash on March 19, 1840. By shedding light on the shared responsibilities and deep-seated grievances that fueled this violent encounter, "The Comanche Perspective" provides a fresh and balanced understanding of a crucial moment in the history of the American frontier.

  THE NIGHTCLUB BOSS WHO TURNED TO FINDING FOOTBALL’S FUTURE STARS 
   
  Football attracts people from all walks of life - but very few can match the story of Paul Montgomery, the flamboyant Geordie who went from running a floating 
  nightclub to spotting some of the greatest British footballing talent of the last 40 years. 
   
   
  Montgomery started out rubbing shoulders with 1970’s and 1980’s A-list celebrities such as Wham, Level 42, Bryan Ferry and Wet Wet Wet at the famous (some would say infamous) Tuxedo Junction nightclub and the Boat, Newcastle’s floating nightclub, before opening his own club and at the same time becoming a trusted 
  lieutenant of footballing icon Sir Bobby Robson. 
   
   
  Indeed, it was Sir Bobby himself - one of the game’s most beloved legends - who labelled Montgomery ‘my rough diamond’, because the Newcastle manager, alongside other footballing masterminds such as Jim Smith, Alex McLeish, Glenn Roeder, Sam Allardyce and Sir Alex Ferguson could trust Montgomery to deliver in a 
  way no other scout could. 
   
   
  Predicting - and picking - the best young talent available is very often an ephemeral and some would say impossible job but Montgomery simply had a knack for 
  knowing who would make it - and who would flounder. 
   
   
  In his remarkable, hilarious and deeply impassioned autobiography, he lifts the lid on his incredible career change, the highs and lows of his footballing journey to the top of the sport and how he still loves the game that has given him so much. 
   
   
  Montgomery has run the rule over thousands of players in a career that has taken him from Hartlepool to Newcastle United, to Portsmouth, Derby County, West Ham United, Birmingham City, Aston Villa and Rangers and he’s still in the game today, advising Premier League clubs on who will make it big next. 
   
   
  Put simply, there is no one else in football quite like Paul Montgomery - and his audiobook describes that world in all its fascinating detail, both good and bad, thrilling and tragic.

  There is something about the number 3.    
   
  The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
   
  Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
   
  Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.
