Published in 1899, Churchill's literary style is characterized by vivid descriptions, sharp wit, and incisive commentary, revealing not only the realities of warfare but also the intricate social and political contexts of the time. Through detailed observation and engaging prose, he captures both the valor and the tragedy of the British campaign in Sudan, shedding light on the ethical dilemmas faced by imperial powers.

Coming Together

Sean McCutcheon

The book Coming Together provides hope and an action plan for us to work together and fix many of the problems in our country. 
The U.S. used to provide affordable healthcare, and education. Our people supported workers' rights. We used to invest in our people. We are being told that we can't do those things, and gaslit into thinking that the crippling healthcare and educational debt being forced upon is our fault. 
Too many times we have used fear to dehumanize people because of the color of their skin, or sexual preference. 
Many of our politicians gain tremendous wealth and power by keeping us divided and hopeless. 
We have fought hard to conquer these problems before, and we can do it again. We can work together towards a more honest and just society. We can repair the damage done to our society from the lies we have been told.
