Sinopse

Revolution Battles offers a deep dive into the military history of the American Revolution, focusing on the strategic decisions, tactical innovations, and logistical challenges that defined the conflict. Going beyond traditional narratives, this book analyzes how a vastly outnumbered Continental Army managed to defeat the world's foremost superpower. The text argues that American victory wasn't due to superior resources, but rather adaptable strategies, a tenacious fighting spirit, and crucial foreign support.

The book progresses chronologically, starting with early engagements like Lexington and Concord, then analyzing pivotal battles such as Saratoga, which secured French support, and Yorktown, the decisive siege. Each battle is examined in terms of strategic objectives, troop deployments, tactical execution, and logistical considerations. Readers gain insight into the American Revolution battles, including how the Continental Army learned to adapt its strategies.

What sets Revolution Battles apart is its granular examination of military tactics and logistics drawing upon primary sources, maps, and military historians' interpretations. It demonstrates the importance of maintaining effective supply lines and highlights the critical decisions made by commanders during key events. By focusing on land-based military strategies and their execution, the book provides a valuable resource for history enthusiasts, military history buffs, and students seeking a deeper understanding of the military aspects of the war for American independence.

One Shot - One Kill - American...

Craig Roberts, Charles W. Sasser

They are the lone wolves of the battlefield. Tracking the enemy, lying in wait for the target to appear—then they shoot to kill. Armed with an unerring eye, infinite patience and a mastery of camouflage, combat snipers stalk the enemy with only one goal . . . In World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and Beirut, American snipers honed the art of delivering a single deadly shot from nowhere—and devastating enemy morale. They met the enemy on his own turf, picking off officers, unwary soldiers, and even other snipers from extraordinary distances of up to 1 ½ miles. Now, these uncommon men tell their stories: of the emotions felt when a man's face came into their crosshairs and they pulled the trigger, of the nerve-wracking hours and days of waiting, motionless, for the enemy, of the primal savagery of a sniper duel.Often trained haphazardly in wartime, and forgotten in times of peace, combat snipers were officially recognized after the Vietnam War, when the Marine Corps became the first military branch to start a full-time sniper school. One Shot-One Kill is their powerful record of desperate trials and proud victories.

A Fish Has No Word For Water - A...

Violet Blue

WINNER: 2023 Independent Publisher Book Awards GOLD 
"A gripping account of survival and a condemnation of the conditions that marginalize and endanger the unsheltered." —KIRKUS 
"Superb... Sharp dialogue, incisive observations, and polished prose." —BookLife EDITOR'S PICK 
Her mother was a hacker-for-hire and drug dealer to Silicon Valley's elite; after everything went wrong she was homeless and alone on San Francisco streets at the age of thirteen. Fleeing her mother's life on the run from a double-crossed cartel and fresh out of witness protection, she joined Silicon Valley's children foraging food from San Francisco's trash cans and sleeping in abandoned cars -- while tech's earliest generations of workers partied, broke laws, and spat on homeless kids begging for spare change under the glow of tech's latest creations. 
A Fish Has No Word For Water is a memoir about what it's really like for homeless kids, the strength of chosen family, and a hard love letter to San Francisco. 
This memoir of survival unflinchingly shows Silicon Valley's children begging in the shadows of tech's shining towers, the surprising care circles formed by adults in San Francisco's LGBTQ community, and a city that is a mosaic of technologies and peoples that should not be together, but are. It upends stereotypes about children who survive abuse, young sex workers, LGBTQ youth, resilience in the face of immense grief and trauma, and how communities form to overcome some of the deadliest forms of discrimination. It reveals to readers that there was never a case for tech's shine in the first place. 
Most of all, it is a story of tremendous resilience and how we can remake trauma into an invitation to be part of a larger world.

The Prince

Niccolò Machiavelli

Power is never given freely—it is taken, protected, and mastered.
Written for rulers navigating danger and ambition, The Prince strips leadership down to its hard realities. Machiavelli explores how power is gained, maintained, and lost, arguing that effectiveness often matters more than virtue. With bold clarity, he examines deception, authority, fear, loyalty, and the price of control in a world ruled by uncertainty.

Regarded as "the most influential political treatise ever written," this classic has shaped leaders, thinkers, and strategists for centuries. Its insights remain unsettling, provocative, and strikingly relevant in modern politics, business, and leadership.

If you want to understand how power truly works—and why appearances can matter more than intentions—this book is essential reading.

Open the book—and confront the realities behind leadership and power.

Rediscovering Scripture's Vision...

Lucy Peppiatt, Scot McKnight

IVP Readers' Choice Award 
 
 
 
Does God call women to serve as equal partners in marriage and as leaders in the church? 
 
 
 
The answer to this straightforward question is deeply contested. Into the fray, Lucy Peppiatt offers her work on interpretation of the Bible and Christian practice. With careful exegetical work, Peppiatt considers relevant passages in Ephesians, Colossians, 1 Peter, 1 Timothy, and 1 Corinthians. There she finds a story of God releasing women alongside men into all forms of ministry, leadership, work, and service on the basis of character and gifting, rather than biological sex. 
 
 
 
Those who see the overturning of male-dominated hierarchy in the Scriptures, she argues, are truly rediscovering an ancient message—a message distorted by those who assumed that a patriarchal world, which they sometimes saw reflected in the Bible, was the one God had ordained.
