    Cleopatra VII, the last active ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, remains one of the most enigmatic figures in history. For over two millennia, her name has conjured images of beauty, cunning, and power. Yet the true Cleopatra is shrouded in layers of myth, propaganda, and speculation. She was not merely a seductress as often portrayed but a scholar, a diplomat, and a leader who navigated a tumultuous era in ancient history with remarkable skill.  
      
    Born into the Ptolemaic dynasty, a Macedonian-Greek family that ruled Egypt after Alexander the Great’s death, Cleopatra inherited a kingdom in decline. At just 18, she ascended to the throne alongside her younger brother, thrust into a world of political intrigue and external threats. Her reign coincided with the expansion of Rome, a rising superpower that posed both an opportunity and a danger. Cleopatra understood that survival required more than military might—it demanded diplomacy, intelligence, and a mastery of alliances.  
      
    Cleopatra’s personal relationships with Julius Caesar and Mark Antony have fueled centuries of fascination and debate. While these alliances are often reduced to tales of romance, they were strategic partnerships forged to secure Egypt’s sovereignty. Cleopatra leveraged her intellect and charisma to influence two of Rome’s most powerful men, ensuring her kingdom remained a significant force in the Mediterranean.

    In this hilarious compilation of true stories, cult favorite writer-director Jeff Lieberman brings us along on a wild odyssey, going in-depth into his early work in the Golden Age of '70s horror with such classics as Squirm, Blue Sunshine, and Just Before Dawn, then on to award-winning network documentaries and mainstream entertainment. Political and social commentary has always been Lieberman's trademark, and here, he tells it like it was with the same unique comic voice and biting satire that's signified his work from the start. 
    Lieberman's fearless and funny exploits reveal the events and relationships that influenced some of his greatest accomplishments. And failures. 
    There's something for everyone here. Horror fans, young and old, will revel in Lieberman's colorful accounts of how his classic cult films came to fruition, while his fellow baby boomers get to be flies on the wall while the action plays out with some of the favorites of their generation - the likes of Dustin Hoffman, Rod Serling, John Lennon, and many others.

    She came to the throne in 1952 when Britain had a far-flung empire, sweets were rationed, mums stayed home and kids played on bombsites. Seventy years on, everything has changed utterly - except the Queen herself, ageing far more gracefully than the fractious nation over which she so lightly presides. 
    How did we get from there to here in a single reign? To cancel culture, anti-vaxxers and Twitter feeds? Matthew Engel tells the story - starting with the years from Churchill to Thatcher - with his own light touch and a wealth of fascinating, forgotten, often funny detail.

    Jeff Struecker, a "Black Hawk Down" hero, the Army's Top Ranger, now an Army Chaplain, relates his own tales from the frontlines of every U.S. initiative since Panama, and tells how God taught him faith from the front in fear-soaked times. As readers go on-mission with Struecker through his harrowing tales, they will learn how to face their own fears with faith in a mighty God. Just as he told one of his charges in Mogadishu: "The difference between being a coward and a hero is not whether you're scared, it's what you do while you're scared."
