  Shiloh: The History of the First...

  After Union General Ulysses S. Grant captured Fort Henry and Fort Donelson in early 1862, Confederate General Albert Sidney Johnston, widely considered the Confederacy’s best general, concentrated his forces in northern Georgia and prepared for a major offensive that culminated with the biggest battle of the war to that point, the Battle of Shiloh. On the morning of April 6, Johnston directed an all out attack on Grant’s army around Shiloh Church, and though Grant’s men had been encamped there, they had failed to create defensive fortifications or earthworks. They were also badly caught by surprise. With nearly 45,000 Confederates attacking, Johnston’s army began to steadily push Grant’s men back toward the river. 
  The Battle of Shiloh lasted two days, but the battle over the battle had just begun. Grant’s army had just won the biggest battle in the history of North America, with nearly 24,000 combined casualties among the Union and Confederate forces. Usually the winner of a major battle is hailed as a hero, but Grant was hardly a winner at Shiloh. The Battle of Shiloh took place before costlier battles at places like Antietam and Gettysburg, so the extent of the casualties at Shiloh shocked the nation. Moreover, at Shiloh the casualties were viewed as needless; Grant was pilloried for allowing the Confederates to take his forces by surprise, as well as the failure to build defensive earthworks and fortifications, which nearly resulted in a rout of his army. Speculation again arose that Grant had a drinking problem, and some even assumed he was drunk during the battle. Though the Union won, it was largely viewed that their success owed to the heroics of General Sherman in rallying the men and Don Carlos Buell arriving with his army, and General Buell was happy to receive the credit at Grant’s expense.

  Soon to be a MAJOR MOVIE. A gripping and heartbreaking story, A Thousand Miles from Care tells the 30-year quest Steve Johnson undertook to uncover the truth about his brilliant brother’s death. 
  At the entrance of Sydney Harbor, the cliffs rise fourteen stories above the Pacific, like a gigantic skirt made of sandstone. North Head, one of the most memorable cliffs, is a gorgeous place to watch the sunrise. But it’s an unforgiving place to lose your footing. When Steve Johnson’s younger brother Scott went over the edge in 1988, he hit an outcrop on the way down and exploded on the rocks below. 
  A Thousand Miles from Care draws upon the mountain of exclusive materials Steve amassed over his 32-year fight for answers, including sealed court transcripts, police records, interviews with suspects, inquest reports, correspondence with gang members, private investigations, and much else. It utilizes unique details, interview transcripts and insights based on Johnson’s close relationship with authorities and high-ranking New South Wales officials developed over more than three decades. 
  This profoundly impactful book traces the steps Steve Johnson, his family and friends took to solve the mystery of Scott’s alleged suicide, navigating an openly hostile police force and a maze of dead ends, unreliable informants, skinhead gangs, a faked confession, police-connected drug rings, and setbacks at every turn.  A Thousand Miles from Care is above all, a love story between two brothers but shared by everyone who worked so long for truth and justice for Scott. 
  This autobiography is a best seller in the making, a non-fiction account of death, grief, and bereavement. It's a true story that explores the relationships between two brothers, making it a top choice for readers seeking heartfelt, real-life stories.

  The Dark Wire Exposed - The True...

  Roberts R. Kevin

  For years, some of the world’s most dangerous criminal networks believed they had outsmarted law enforcement.
   
  They relied on a secure communication system to plan drug shipments, launder money, negotiate violence, and coordinate global operations—confident their messages were invisible.
   
  They were wrong.
   
  The Dark Wire Exposed reveals how a covert operation infiltrated global organized crime by controlling the very system criminals trusted. Investigators were able to monitor activity in real time, track networks across continents, and gather intelligence on an unprecedented scale.
   
  Through detailed reporting, the book uncovers the hidden infrastructure behind modern crime—and the strategy that brought it down. Smugglers, financiers, and enforcers communicated openly, unaware their trust had become their greatest weakness. Their messages exposed not only criminal plans, but routines, rivalries, and mistakes.
   
  But access came at a cost.
   
  As the operation expanded, investigators faced difficult choices—when to intervene, when to wait, and how to balance secrecy, ethics, and public safety. The deeper the surveillance, the greater the risk of exposure.
   
  When secrecy collapsed, the consequences were global. Arrests followed across multiple countries, networks unraveled, and trust disappeared overnight. The operation also sparked debate about surveillance, privacy, and the limits of law enforcement in the digital age.
   
  Written with the pace of a thriller and the depth of investigative journalism, this book explores modern crime, intelligence, and control. It is a story of systems, decisions, and consequences that continue to shape how crime is fought—and how communication is trusted.
   
  This is the inside story of a historic sting operation—and its lasting impact.
