Synopsis

In "The Memoirs of General William T. Sherman," Sherman offers an unparalleled firsthand account of his experiences during the Civil War, blending military strategy with personal reflections. The narrative, characterized by its straightforward prose and vivid detail, transcends mere autobiography, serving as a profound commentary on the nature of war, leadership, and the human condition. Sherman deliberately situates his memoirs within the broader context of 19th-century American history, exploring not just his military campaigns but the socio-political ramifications of warfare in a nation divided. William Tecumseh Sherman was not only a key military figure in the Union Army but also a complex individual shaped by his early life and experiences in the antebellum South. His strategic mind and his relentless commitment to the Union's cause, demonstrated through his infamous "March to the Sea," are deeply intertwined with his reflections in this work. Sherman's perspective is informed by both his personal challenges and the broader societal upheavals of his time, adding depth to his accounts. This memoir is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the intricacies of the Civil War and military leadership. Sherman's insights into the ethical dilemmas of warfare and his candid self-assessments make it not just a historical document but a timeless exploration of duty and sacrifice, proving invaluable to both historians and general readers alike.

  • Redefining Racism - How Racism Became "Power + Prejudice" - cover

    Redefining Racism - How Racism...

    Have you heard that racism requires more than just prejudice, but also “power”? 
    Have you been told the dictionary definition of racism isn’t correct? 
    Where did this all come from? And why is it being taught at your school or workplace? 
    The rabbit hole goes deeper than you might have imagined. Joseph (Jake) Klein’s Redefining Racism tells the story of the group of radical white “anti-racist” corporate and high-school educators who in the late 1960s and early 70s, taking inspiration from the anti-integrationist Marxist-Leninist Stokely Carmichael, funded by an organization seeking to pay off rioters to stop, and using manipulative techniques developed in part by U.S. intelligence’s director of the “psychological warfare center for the Far East,” created and spread the “Power + Prejudice” redefinition. And the late famed crack-addicted serial bank robber “Zombie Bandit” played a role too. 
    In tracing the history of this redefinition, Redefining Racism also tells the story of the origins of “Racism Awareness Training,” today frequently called “diversity training,” in the tradition of Robin DiAngelo and White Fragility that have taken American corporations, schools, and universities by storm. 
    Redefining Racism is the definitive rebuttal for why racism is not best defined as “Power + Prejudice” and a damning origin story for much of the modern so-called “anti-racist” movement, reminding us why the best way to be an anti-racist is to look at the content of one’s character and not the color of their skin. 
    “For anyone genuinely committed to realizing an American future where race, racism, and ‘anti-racism,’ cease to be the tools used to divide us, this is an indispensable text. With Redefining Racism, Jake Klein has provided a national service.” — Thomas Chatterton Williams, author of Self-Portrait in Black and White and Losing My Cool

    The Incredible True Story of Britain's 'Kamikaze' Pilots of World War Two 
     
    'An unforgettable tale of high-stakes action, ingenuity and raw courage. This war story's got it all' Rowland White, Author of Vulcan 607 
     
     
    'IF WE FAIL IN THIS, THEN WE LOSE THE WAR' 
     
     
    With the Battle of Britain won, Winston Churchill and his military chiefs faced an even more fearsome challenge in the Battle of the Atlantic. 
     
     
    Thwarted in his plans to invade, Hitler decided he would starve Britain into submission instead. Operating in conjunction with U-Boats, long-range Condor aircraft manned by élite German airmen attacked Allied ships far beyond the range of any land-based RAF fighters, with devastating results. 
     
     
    To counter the Luftwaffe threat, men from the RAF and Fleet Air Arm were asked to volunteer to be catapulted from the foredecks of merchant ships in specially modified Hawker Hurricanes. But with nowhere to land afterwards, it was a one-way mission. 
     
     
    If the British fighter pilots survived combat, they would have no option but to bail out into the North Atlantic and hope they were picked up by the one of the convoy escorts.
