Sinopsis

Thomas Babington Macaulay's "The History of England" (Volumes 1-5) presents a sweeping narrative that recounts England's transformation from the 17th century through the beginning of the 19th century. Macaulay's literary style is characterized by his engaging prose, vivid imagery, and a compelling blend of historical detail and political analysis. His work is deeply embedded in the Victorian context, seeking to educate and inspire a sense of national pride amidst the complexities of modern governance and societal change. By expertly weaving personal anecdotes with rigorous scholarship, Macaulay illuminates the evolving themes of liberty, democracy, and the power of the written word in shaping public consciousness. As a prominent British historian, essayist, and politician, Thomas Babington Macaulay was heavily influenced by the Enlightenment ideals of progress and rationality. His upbringing during a period of significant political upheaval and his own experiences as a member of Parliament informed his perspectives on governance and history. A firm believer in the moral superiority of British institutions, Macaulay sought to craft a work that not only chronicled events but also championed the narrative of England as a beacon of civilization and reform. Readers seeking a comprehensive and eloquent account of England's past will find Macaulay's "The History of England" essential. Its rich narrative and insightful commentary not only appeal to history enthusiasts but also provide critical reflections on contemporary issues of governance and civic responsibility. This masterful work stands as an enduring testament to the complexities and triumphs of English history, making it a must-read for anyone invested in understanding the roots of modern society.

The Big Truth - Upholding...

Major Garrett, David Becker

When a seven-million-vote margin of victory and 306 electoral votes pointed to Joe Biden as the victor in the 2020 Presidential Election, Trump-fueled conspiracy theories exploded. 
 
  
 
In The Big Truth, CBS's Chief Washington Correspondent Major Garrett and the nation's foremost elections expert David Becker completely upend The Big Lie that has infected the Far Right with firsthand stories of election officials like Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and Bucks County, Pennsylvania, election director Thomas Freitag. And they reveal the concrete evidence proving that 2020 may have been the most secure US election ever. But Garrett and Becker go beyond the key players from all six swing states, the pre-election litigation that clarified the rules for both parties, and the fully auditable and verifiable ballots used. They lay bare the methods being undertaken right now to undercut faith, belief, and effectiveness of elections, identifying the places where the most dire actions have been taken since 2020—where election laws have been changed; or election officials been hounded out of office, retired out of frustration/fatigue, or been replaced by pro-Trump political figures.

Summary of Fiona Hill's There Is...

Falcon Press

Buy now to get the main key ideas from Fiona Hill's There Is Nothing for You Here 
  
Fiona Hill has a unique perspective of the world, having spent time in the United Kingdom, the United States, and Russia. She has seen the good and bad of all three countries, and realized that the three aren’t all that different. 
In There Is Nothing for You Here, Hill explains the three countries' post-industrial struggles after World War II, framed within the contest of her own experiences. Many towns and areas have been completely forgotten, which has bred distrust and division. Specifically in the US, this culminated in Donald Trump being elected president, which only furthered the country’s polarization.  
When people lose hope, they fall victim to populist movements that provide seemingly easy solutions, but in reality, only want to take advantage of their vote. To reverse this trend, we need to provide more opportunities for those who are less fortunate, regardless of race, gender, or place of origin.

Death in the Highlands - The...

J. Keith Saliba

In fall 1965, North Vietnam's high command smelled blood in the water. The South Vietnamese republic was on the verge of collapse, and Hanoi resolved to crush it once and for all. The communists set their sights on South Vietnam's strategically vital West-Central Highlands. Their first target was the American Special Forces camp at Plei Me, remote and isolated along the Cambodian border. 
 
 
  
As darkness fell on 19 October, 1965, two North Vietnamese Army regiments crept into their final strike positions. The plan was as simple as it was audacious: one regiment would bring the frontier fortress under siege while the other would lie in wait to destroy the inevitable rescue force. Initially, all that stood athwart Hanoi's grand scheme was a handful of American Green Berets, a few hundred Montagnard allies—and burgeoning US airpower. 
 
 
  
But as the overland relief force bogged down, 5th Group ordered in the legendary "Chargin" Charlie Beckwith and his elite Project Delta to help hold the line. Soon, the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division, under its commander Maj. Gen. Harry Kinnard, would join the fray, setting the stage for its bloody Ia Drang Valley fights a few weeks later. Before it was over, the siege of Plei Me would push its defenders to the brink and usher in the first major clashes between the US and North Vietnamese armies.

Cam's Chance

Lisa Oliver

Arrowtown Book 5
Can be listened to as a standalone
Camden "Cam" Stone had a long past and a hard life. For the past ten years he'd kept up the façade of a businessman, running the only bar in Arrowtown. The hours were long, but the people were friendly and if he didn't share much about himself, no one seemed to care. But all that changed when a new baker came to town - a baker with a flippant personality and skills the whole town were soon talking about. Nobody could be that perfect, could they?
"Fabulous" Fergus Ferdinand was a bull shifter, and yes, his momma did have a sense of humor, once. Having been away from his fold for years, he'd come to the shifter town, in the hopes of building a business that would be good enough to convince his momma to come and live with him. From the moment he opened his bakery doors, people flocked to buy from him, eager for the new sweet sensations his business offered. So, it was understandable, when the gruff bar owner seemed immune to his sweet things and his sunny personality, that Fergus was a bit surprised.
Unfortunately, Cam's suspicious nature, and his subsequent investigation into Fergus creates a whole stack of problems for the unlikely pair. Throw in a pair of pink unicorn pants, a momma in desperate need of saving, and a wolf with an éclair addiction and the couple are kept busy twenty-four seven. Just when they get to the point where the two men can take a breath, Fergus gets sick... and a whole stack of new challenges crop up.
This is an MM Mpreg Fated Mates story. Although, it can be read as a standalone, reading the previous books will give you more understanding of the secondary characters. There is snarky humor, some violence, and a lot of sweet treats. As this book is intended for adults only, please store your entertainment responsibly.
