  The Tashkent-born Russian-American literary critic, editor, essayist, and journalist Vladislav Davidzon has been covering post-Soviet Ukraine for the past ten years, a tumultuous time for that country and the surrounding world. The 2014 "Revolution of Dignity" heralded a tremendous transformation of Ukrainian politics and society that has continued to ripple and reverberate throughout the world. 
   
   
   
  In late 2015, a year and a half after the 2014 Revolution swept away the presidency of the Moscow-leaning kleptocratic President Viktor Yanukovich, Davidzon and his wife founded a literary journal, The Odessa Review, focusing on newly emergent trends in film, literature, painting, design, and fashion. The journal became an East European cultural institution, publishing outstanding writers in the region and beyond. From his vantage point as a journalist and editor, Davidzon came to observe events and know many of the leading figures in Ukrainian politics and culture, and to write about them for a Western audience. Davidzon later found himself in the center of world events as he became a United States government witness in the Ukraine scandal that shook the presidency of Donald Trump. This eagerly anticipated debut tells the real story of what happened in Ukraine from the keen and resilient perspective of an observer at its center.

  The Men From Miami - American...

  An exhilarating real-life Cold War thriller about the Americans who fought for Fidel Castro in the Cuban Revolution – then switched sides to try to bring him down
  Back in 1957, Castro was a hero to many in the USA for taking up arms against Cuba's dictatorial regime. Two dozen American adventurers joined his rebel band in the mountains, including fervent idealists, a trio of teens from the Guantánamo Bay naval base, a sleazy ex-con who liked underage girls, and at least two future murderers. Castro's eventual victory delighted the world – but then he ran up the red flag and some started wondering if they'd supported the wrong side.
  A gang of disillusioned American volunteers – including future Watergate burglar Frank Fiorini and journalist Alex Rorke, whose 1963 disappearance remains unsolved – changed allegiances and joined the Cuban exiles, CIA agents and soldiers of fortune who had washed up in Miami ready to fight Castro's regime by any means necessary. These larger-than-life characters wreaked havoc across the Caribbean and went on to be implicated in President Kennedy's assassination, a failed invasion of 'Papa Doc' Duvalier's Haiti and the downfall of Richard Nixon.
  The Cold War had arrived in Miami, and things would never be the same again.

  Why do we search for balance in our lives? The answer is simple, and nearly all of us know it. Some of us simply don't want to accept the truth, while some of us want to find solutions for the imbalance in our lives. The importance of balance cannot be undermined, considering that it brings with its calmness, peace, happiness, and the strength to face any kind of diversity. With balance come increased productivity and efficiency and untold happiness and joy.  
  A balanced person is physically, emotionally, and mentally healthy and lives a meaningful and contented life, regardless of the challenges he or she faces. Feelings of imbalance include mental, emotional, and physical sickness, fear, unease, discomforts of all kinds, and suffering.  
  Signs of Mental Balance  
  The answers to the following questions will help you understand if you have mental balance and stability: 
  Do you see the world and yourself clearly without the truth being warped in mire and ambiguity? 
  Do you feel swept away by the veils that cover the truths of your life? 
  Do you attempt to see the truth as it is instead of trying to explain it away with some vague explanations just to make it agree with your perception?  
  Do you deliberately use your mind as a sense organ or something that you would simply brush as an appendage that comes in the way of your life?

  Code of the Illuminati

  Abbé Barruel

  In 1776 Adam Weishaupt, a respected German professor of Canon Law, founded a covert revolutionary group - The Illuminati - a secret society dedicated to destroying repressive regimes and shaping a world government in terms of Liberty and Equality. These ideals surfaced with violent emphasis during the French Revolution, which many saw as the work of Illuminati agitators. The Jesuit Abbé Augustin Barruel was one such. In this book, (the third of his four-part monumental work on the French Revolution), he describes - from contemporary sources and accounts - the history, organization and ethos of the Illuminati, and their role in the destruction of the 'ancien regime'. This is an important work on the Illuminati, and is especially relevant considering the continuing belief that the Order remains among us, still working secretly to achieve their goals.
