  Jim Lindsay's The Sniper reveals, for the first time ever, the full story of the deadliest sniper in Marine Corps history, Chuck Mawhinney, who served in the Vietnam war at age 18—written with his full cooperation and participation.Charles "Chuck" Mawhinney is a United States Marine who holds the Corps' record for the most confirmed sniper kills (and the second most of any US service member in history), having recorded 103 confirmed kills in 16 months during the Vietnam War. He was also the youngest—killing the enemy as a teenager.In 1967, at the age of 18, Mawhinney joined the Marines and began his assent from recruit to the Marine Corps’ deadliest sniper. During his tours—in one of the most dangerous war zones of Vietnam—his character and charisma helped him deal with life and death in a hell hole with other young men a long way from home.After Vietnam, Mawhinney married and settled into his post-war life, raised a family, and was content that no one knew of his accomplishments in war. Then in 1991 he was startled and dismayed when outed by a fellow Marine sniper, Joseph Ward, who spoke of Mawhinney’s number of kills in his book, Dear Mom. Newspapers picked up the story and Mawhinney’s life changed forever. The notoriety troubled him at first, but then he accepted the fame and used the opportunity to train service men and lawmen in the art of long-distance shooting.At last, Chuck's full story is told, including his heroic exploits in battle and the terrible toll that taking a life exerts on a human being.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

  The Sun Also Rises

  Ernest Hemingway

  "You can't get away from yourself by moving from one place to another."
  
  In the wake of World War I, a group of disillusioned American and British expatriates drifts through the cafes of Paris, searching for a purpose that the war stripped away. At the center of this circle are Jake Barnes—a journalist left impotent by a war wound—and the captivating, fiercely independent Lady Brett Ashley. Their journey takes them from the jazz-soaked nights of the Rive Gauche to the raw, sun-drenched intensity of the bullfights in Pamplona.
  
  The Iceberg Theory in Action: Hemingway's revolutionary prose is on full display here. Using his "Iceberg Theory," he conveys deep emotional turmoil through sparse, rhythmic dialogue and direct action. Beneath the surface of every drink ordered and every trout caught lies a profound exploration of masculinity, resilience, and the "lost" nature of a youth that survived the trenches only to find a hollow peace.
  
  The Ritual of the Bullring: The novel reaches its crescendo during the Fiesta de San Fermín. Hemingway contrasts the chaotic, drunken revelry of the expatriates with the "purity" and tragic grace of the bullfight. Through the young matador Pedro Romero, Hemingway explores the "grace under pressure" that becomes the only available virtue in a world where traditional moral structures have collapsed.
  
  Experience the sunlit tragedy of a generation. Purchase "The Sun Also Rises" today and discover the origin of the modern American voice.

  The Sexual State - How Elite...

  PhD. Jennifer Roback Morse

  The Sexual Revolution - and the breakdown of the Family - has brought misery to millions. In The Sexual State Jennifer Roback Morse shows that the Sexual Revolution did not just “happen” like a force of nature. Rather, it was deliberately created by “elites,” harnessing the power of the State, allowing them to inflict three false and calamitous ideologies – contraception, divorce, and gender – that have led to widespread and profound unhappiness, and worse. 
  The ideas of the Sexual Revolution did not emerge from the lived experiences of ordinary people, the government has been imposing the morality of an out-of-touch elite class on the rest of us for decades. 
  The Sexual State turns the conventional wisdom on its head to reveal how:The Sexual Revolution is and always has been a creation of the StateSocial issues are unified and can be understood as the outgrowth of a few simple (but gravely flawed) principles.Children have identity and relational rights with respect to their parents…and how the Sexual State denies children these rights. 
   Social conservative ideas and traditional Catholic morality are getting clobbered. And the dirty secret that no one wants to acknowledge – until now! - is that the progressive social elites have rigged the system. Most people don’t love abortion, or divorce, or single-parent families! Thankfully, Dr. Morse, and the Catholic Church, have the answer. It is vital that those who would change the culture understand how we got there, otherwise, the countering tactics will remain important. 
   In this masterful take-down of the Sexual Revolution and its promoters, Morse calls for a widespread adherence to the principles of the Church. Only then will our society recover from the misrule of “the elites” and the “managerial class.”

  From Boom to Bust - Venezuela's...

  Venezuela’s economic history is a tale of immense wealth and devastating collapse, shaped by its vast oil reserves and the policies that governed them. Once one of the richest countries in Latin America, Venezuela’s rise was fueled by oil, an abundant resource that transformed the nation’s fortunes. However, overreliance on this single commodity, combined with political instability and economic mismanagement, led to one of the most severe financial crises in modern history. Understanding Venezuela’s economic journey requires a closer look at how it soared to prosperity, the warning signs that were ignored, and the policies that ultimately triggered its downfall.  
  The discovery of oil in the early 20th century set Venezuela on a path of rapid economic growth. As global demand for oil skyrocketed, so did Venezuela’s revenues, allowing the country to modernize its infrastructure, expand public services, and improve living standards. By the mid-20th century, Venezuela was among the most prosperous nations in Latin America, boasting a strong middle class and a high standard of living. The government used oil wealth to fund social programs, subsidize goods, and invest in national development, creating an illusion of economic stability. Yet, beneath the surface, a dangerous dependence on oil was forming, leaving the economy vulnerable to external shocks.  
  Despite periods of prosperity, warning signs of economic instability were evident long before the country entered crisis. As oil prices fluctuated, so did Venezuela’s financial health. Instead of diversifying the economy, successive governments doubled down on oil dependency, making the country highly susceptible to global market shifts.
