  Dale and Connie Jakes, working for the FBI, provide a firsthand account of life under the deepest cover inside the violent, armed strongholds of the Montana Freemen organization. In 1995, the Jakes lived in the Montana mountains, discovering a major center of American terrorism. They exposed vital information about how widespread, well-organized, coordinated, and dangerous militia groups have become. The Freeman were eventually arrested after an 81-day standoff with the FBI— the longest in U.S. law-enforcement history.
  This disturbing memoir provides a subtly scathing commentary on the FBI and also reveals a detailed view of a top-secret undercover operation and the extreme risks, dangers, and courage it requires.

  Winston Churchill’s Great...

  When Winston Churchill died at the age of 90 in 1965, one of the most important figures in modern history had left the stage. From providing some of the 20th century’s greatest soundbites to successfully navigating Great Britain to victory in World War II against great odds, Churchill was at the forefront of events for decades, becoming one of the most influential Britons in history. In 2002, he was named the Greatest Briton of All Time, and 40 years earlier he was the first person to be made an Honorary Citizen of the United States. 
  Churchill will forever be most associated with World War II, but his life was far more adventurous and complex than that, and these other aspects of the man are often overlooked and overshadowed. He came from an aristocratic family, but his father, Lord Randolph Churchill, was not the firstborn son. That was important because the family estate was entailed, meaning the oldest son inherited the title of duke along with the land and the wealth. Thus, while Churchill grew up in Blenheim Palace, he did not inherit his family’s wealth, and that is one reason he became a correspondent and negotiated high rates of pay: he needed the income. The family’s aristocratic connections greatly facilitated his career, but it was his own courage, determination, and ability that led to his fame and historical importance, along with some phenomenal luck. 
  Before politics, Churchill was an officer in a cavalry regiment and a war correspondent, which took him to conflicts on four continents, and he escaped death more than once. His greatest escape was from a South African prison camp, which made him a national hero and greatly facilitated his election to Parliament.

  This story is true and remains dedicated to impacting the needs and lives of individuals in society: all the topics are real, whereas it's main purpose is to raise awareness of ongoing issues, yet present encouraging messages. 
  Inspired by the life, work and values of Artist/Composer, Producer, Leader & Friend: Gregory Kemmis. 
  This is the first literary work written by Gregory W. Kemmis, an acclaimed artist. 
  He specializes in media production, and his previous experiences include a plethora of original works and performances within the music industry. During the most recent decade to date, he rapidly grew within his career, expanding his knowledge and applied skills to include creating independent documentaries or episodic series. 
  Intentionally covering on some of the most pressing issues, to educate and spark awareness about experience, adaptation and controversial topics still at large presently, Kemmis has taken this goal to another level when considering the writings contained within "The One By One Documentaries." 
  It should also be noted that this literary work is a collection of what once was an episodic series made for television broadcasts but was never actually distributed to the public. Although this remains the case regarding the television series, Kemmis has changed direction to avail the opportunity to publish this series in book form. 
  It was critical to him that the events contained within "The One By One Documentaries" be heard and spoken to worldwide readers as generations continue to adapt to life and culture. He composes this book as the first of what should remain important compilations towards sufficiently leading a way towards past silencing rights to express ourselves.
