Summary

465 AD. - In the years leading up to the final fall of the Western Roman Empire, young Aphranius Siagrius finds himself inheriting his father Aegidius' rule, a now Roman-Barbarian kingdom
covering much of northern Gaul and completely disconnected from the rest of the empire.
As the years pass, Syagrius helplessly witnesses the unraveling of a world he had believed to be eternal.
But the misfortunes of his era will not make him desist from pursuing his greatest dream.
Now an independent ruler, the man who went down in history as “King of the Romans” will find, inspired by the idea
of a great of the past, a way to bring a defunct Western empire back to life.
Clinging desperately to that intuition of his, the only hope of having a future.

    The insurrection at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, was not a blip or an aberration. It was the logical outcome of years of a White evangelical subculture's preparation for war. Religion scholar and former insider Bradley Onishi maps the origins of White Christian nationalism and traces its offshoots in Preparing for War. 
     
     
     
    Combining his own experiences in the youth groups and prayer meetings of the 1990s with an immersive look at the steady blending of White grievance politics with evangelicalism, Onishi crafts an engrossing account of the years-long campaign of White Christian nationalism that led to January 6. How did the rise of what Onishi calls the New Religious Right, between 1960 and 2015, give birth to violent White Christian nationalism during the Trump presidency and beyond? What propelled some of the most conservative religious communities in the country—communities of which Onishi was once a part—to ignite a cold civil war? 
     
     
     
    Through chapters on White supremacy and segregationist theologies, conspiracy theories, the Christian-school movement, purity culture, and the right-wing media ecosystem, Onishi pulls back the curtain on a subculture that birthed a movement and has taken a dangerous turn.

    From the Seattle streets to studio beats.
    In the early 1980s, a subterranean shift in Seattle's music scene began. Disco's reign over parties and dance clubs faded, and hip-hop became the new attraction. A generation of young musicians emerged, and local rappers catapulted the genre into the spotlight. From Sir Mix-A-Lot, who won a Grammy in 1993, to Silver Chain Gang and Jam Delight, the Emerald City produced some incredible talent. These formative years of hip-hop set the tone for the decades that followed, and this once-fledgling music still resonates in pop culture today.
    Author and producer Novocaine132 explores Seattle's early rap artists and their groundbreaking sound.
