  Guam Eagle - WWII True Story of...

  Six Americans refused surrender when Japan captured Guam. Five were executed. One sailor survived 31 months evading the Japanese. 
  December 10, 1941. George Tweed became the longest-surviving American fugitive of World War II, hiding in northern Guam's limestone cliffs. His survival depended on Chamorro families who shared their food, built underground networks, and endured Japanese torture to protect him. 
  When the Japanese suspected helpers, they responded with public beheadings and threats to annihilate entire bloodlines. Dozens were interrogated. Many were executed. None betrayed Tweed's location. 
  Guam Eagle tells three stories the history books kept separate: Tweed's extraordinary endurance, the Chamorro resistance that made it possible, and what happened after liberation when one Chevrolet became both gratitude and controversy. 
  Drawing from declassified documents and personal testimonies, this is the untold Pacific War story of loyalty, resistance, and complicated liberation. 
  Perfect for listeners of Bill O'Reilly's Killing series and James Bradley's Flyboys.

  The Kalevala

  "In the land of ice and song, a mystical struggle for the ultimate power begins."
  
  Woven from centuries of Karelian song and legend, The Kalevala tells the story of the creation of the world and the heroic deeds of the eternal shaman-bard Väinämöinen. At its center is the quest for the Sampo—a magical artifact of infinite wealth forged by the master smith Ilmarinen. As the heroes of the South battle the dark forces of Pohjola and its mistress Louhi, Lönnrot creates a tapestry of enchantment, tragedy, and ancient wisdom. Written in the distinctive "Kalevala meter" that inspired Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, this epic is a profound exploration of the power of words, music, and the natural world.
  
  The Quest for the Sampo: The driving force of the epic is the Sampo, a mysterious mill that grinds out flour, salt, and gold. Its forging and eventual theft represent the struggle between civilization and the untamed wilderness, serving as a powerful symbol of Finnish prosperity and identity.
  
  Why It Is a Cultural Masterpiece: The Kalevala did more than preserve folklore; it helped define a nation. Its unique trochaic tetrameter and its reverence for the "magic of singing" make it one of the most rhythmic and hypnotic works in world literature.
  
  Enter a world of ancient song. Purchase "The Kalevala" today.

  In this 2025 interview with Justine Willis Toms, Wheatley discusses the importance of creating "islands of sanity" in disruptive times to restore and awaken the human spirit. She emphasizes the need to face reality, understand the current landscape, and contribute meaningfully. Wheatley outlines five stages for solving complex problems: cooling (listening), enrichment (understanding diverse perspectives), magnetizing (inviting missing voices), compassionate destruction (letting go of old patterns), and pattern language (creating healthy groups). She advocates for conscious communities based on shared values and human qualities, and stresses the importance of being present, curious, and grateful. 
  Margaret J Wheatley, Ph.D. is an internationally acclaimed writer, speaker, and teacher. She began caring about the world's peoples in 1966 as a Peace Corps volunteer in postwar Korea. She is cofounder and President Emerita of The Berkana Institute, a charitable foundation that works with people around the world to strengthen their communities using the wisdom and wealth already present in their people, traditions, and environment. She is a guide in leading people back to understanding who we are as humans, being able to create the conditions for our basic qualities of generosity, contribution, community, and love. She is a grand contributor in creating an Island of Sanity in the midst of wildly disruptive seas.

  Leadership and the New Science (Berrett-Kohler 1998)
