  Have you been wondering about the big issues dominating the news? Is climate change a massive threat or not? What is really going on with immigration? More importantly, how did American politics become so divided and hostile?  What if we approached American social, cultural and political problems from a purely rational perspective? What if we focus on functional systems instead of division? Careful analysis of readily available data can help us discover patterns and uncover the real issues. An engineering perspective allows us to focus on what needs to be fixed rather than ideological divisions.  
     Finally, one of America's top engineers has brought these topics and others together in a thought-provoking book. This book is rooted in history, facts, and logic, and it lays out solutions to America's problems. A book focused to get Americans talking to one another again, so we can rise to the occasion and solve today's problems together.  
      William Taggart has over thirty years as a professional engineer in industry. He has travelled the world, building some of industry’s biggest projects and solving some of their thorniest problems. Now, he has applied analytical skills developed in industry, coupled with his natural inquisitiveness and thirst for creative solutions, to the problems of modern-day American politics. Seeking answers to questions many of us have been asking, he has focused his keen mind on researching these, and other big issues. He invites everyone to think about what America really needs.

  Has it ever happened to you that you suddenly couldn't keep up with an interesting conversation? Did you have the impression that everyone else around you was taking part in an exciting debate that you could only understand? That's not a nice feeling and can lead to embarrassing situations in which you appear uninformed and clueless. If you hardly know anything about the world, you are quickly left behind in conversations and find it difficult to form an opinion on socially relevant topics. In a fast-paced and increasingly hectic world, it is often difficult to distinguish between important and unimportant knowledge and to find the right words. But it's not that difficult to acquire important general knowledge in a very short space of time!
  That's exactly what I want to help you with this book. You don't have time to wade through huge encyclopaedias or spend hours researching topics on the Internet? Are you often unsure whether your sources really reflect the facts correctly and how you can actually apply your knowledge? Then reading this compact guide to general knowledge is the right thing for you! Instead of complicated explanations and pages and pages of figures and data, you can expect easy-to-understand, informative sections on relevant topics from a wide range of areas.

  Never has America seen an election as volatile, polarizing, and rampant with fraud and collusion as the one in 2020 between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. And the Democrats are the ones to blame, according to Mollie Hemingway. 
  After Trump became president in 2016, Democrats, the liberal media, and Big Tech schemed tirelessly to get him out of office by any means necessary. Hemingway’s Rigged takes an intimate look at how they succeeded, including the events leading up to the 2020 election, what happened on Election Day, and the legal challenges by Republicans seeking to investigate the validity of the election process and its results. 
  Hemingway argues that Democrats used every trick in the book to get Trump out of the presidency, and it worked - barely. As a result, we need to understand what they did to make sure further elections are controlled by no one but the American people.

  "Martin King tells the human side of the story of the Battle of the Bulge better than anyone." 
  Commander Jeffrey Barta, US Navy (retired) 
   
  "I have walked the battlefields with Martin King, who has traversed them countless times with veterans of the Bulge. No one knows this story like Martin, and no one can tell it quite the way he does." 
  Rick Beyer, New York Times bestselling author of The Ghost Army of World War II 
   
  The vortex of a tornado is a vacuum, and that is where we were, in the centre of a storm of armour and artillery pushing forward into the Ardennes. 
  - John Hillard Dunn, 106th Division, US Army 
   
  The Battle of the Bulge was the largest land engagement of World War II. The German counter-attack, spearheaded by three Panzer armies, found the Allies unprepared and ill-equipped. As the fighting raged across the frosty forests of the Ardennes, it was left to a few untested US Infantry divisions to hold the Allied lines. Written by one of the world's leading experts on the subject, this account provides an essential introduction to the events of winter 1944-5 and to the many soldiers who risked their lives in defence of freedom. 
   
  Drawing on personal interviews, extensive research, and an unparalleled knowledge of the region, Martin King explores one of the most important battles of World War II.

  Thomas Paine was born in Great Britain; he came to America at the age of 37 for the first time. He is rightly considered to be the Anglo-American writer, philosopher, publicist, as well as "American godfather" for supporting separatist spirits and inspiring Americans to fight for their independence (at that very moment, the break between America and England was imminent). He described his thoughts in a wonderful tract Common Sense, that according to G. Washington, revolutionized the minds. Later, Thomas Paine's arguments were reflected in The Independence Declaration, written by Jefferson.
