  From the author of the landmark Secret Teachings of All Ages comes two classic works on the mysterious origins and unique mission of America: The Secret Destiny of America and America’s Assignment with Destiny.  
  Focusing on often-forgotten moments in history, Manley P. Hall proposes that there was a Great Plan put forth 1000 years before our nation’s founding. Humanistic and mystical organizations wished for the continent to be the location for an experiment in self-government and religious freedom. As one of the leading esoteric scholars of the 20th century, Hall offers an intriguing view of our past, discussing everything from the symbolism of the Great Seal of the US to the prophecy announced at George Washington’s birth.

  Since Xi Jinping took power in 2012, China's foreign policy has significantly shifted from a defensive to an assertive approach. For decades, Beijing worked to integrate into the liberal international order, presenting itself as a peacefully rising power. By contrast, however, under Xi's leadership, the country is attempting to create a global system that is more favourable to its own interests.
  The Report examines China's current foreign policy approach, and the drivers behind the country's shift away from tradition. What are the main features of China's foreign policy today? How are decisions being taken, and to what extent do interest groups continue to have a say in decision-making after the recent power centralisation?

  Discover a Better Standard of Excellence 
   
   
   
  You're not good enough. How many of us internalize this belief before we even reach adulthood? How many of us feel unworthy and unable to live up to what seem like impossible-yet-completely-arbitrary standards? Where do these toxic beliefs about ourselves come from? And who told us there is a way we are "supposed" to be anyway? 
   
   
   
  With passion and compassion, Caroline J. Sumlin reveals the force that keeps all of us, whether we are part of a marginalized group or not, from freely expressing who we are as image bearers of God: white supremacy culture. Sharing her own story, she helps you see the wide-ranging effects of living in a culture of white supremacy. She identifies the damaging beliefs we internalize from our very earliest days and shows us how to find clarity and freedom as we dismantle the oppressive structures that hem us in and force us to conform. 
   
   
   
  If you have struggled with perfectionism, self-doubt, unworthiness, or the unrelenting pressure to pursue someone else's version of "success," you will find here the tools you need to silence the voices that seek to keep you down and to value yourself as never before.

  This book consists of 4 titles, which are: 
  - The French Resistance: The French Resistance is one of the most remarkable and inspiring stories of World War II, a testament to the courage and defiance shown by ordinary people in the face of unimaginable adversity. During the Nazi occupation of France from 1940 to 1944, countless men and women rose to challenge the brutal regime that had taken control of their country. 
  - The Homefront Heroes: The term "homefront" often evokes images of soldiers in trenches or aircraft soaring across the skies, but it is also a powerful representation of the unseen sacrifices and contributions made by civilians during times of war. During World War II, the homefront became an essential element in the overall war effort, with civilians across the world playing critical roles in supporting the troops and maintaining the stability of their countries. 
  - Women at War: Before the outbreak of World War II, women’s roles in society were primarily defined by traditional expectations of domesticity and support. The early 20th century saw most women confined to the home, tasked with caring for children, managing households, and supporting their husbands. While some women worked outside the home, their opportunities were limited to roles deemed suitable for their gender, such as teaching, nursing, and clerical work. 
  - Fighter Aces of World War II: The concept of the "fighter ace" emerged during the early days of aerial warfare, capturing the imagination of the public and military strategists alike. A fighter ace, typically defined as a pilot who has achieved five or more confirmed aerial victories, became a symbol of skill, bravery, and national pride during World War II.

  Retaking Kokoda - The Battles...

  Japanese Major General Horii Tomitarô, commanding the South Seas Force, had the Australians on the back foot. Australia was holding the last defendable ridge in the Owen Stanley ranges, Imita Ridge. Horii to his distress was then given orders from Imperial Headquarters in Tokyo that he was to fall back across the mountains to the Japanese beachheads at Gona, Sanananda, and Buna, leaving a force between Templeton’s Crossing and Eora Creek to stop any Australian advance through the mountains. The Japanese, unknown to the Australians evacuated Ioribaiwa Ridge just before they launched their attacks and to their amazement on storming the heights, the Australians encountered no resistance – the Japanese had gone. 
   
  This, however, did not mean the fighting on the Kokoda Track was over, far from it. Three more desperate actions would be fought by the Australians and Japanese, before the decisive battles for the Japanese beachheads could be decided – the battles for Templeton’s Crossing, Eora Creek, and finally the Oivi-Gorari positions on the northern lowland plains. Just 15-kilometres east lay the Kumusi River, the last geographical barrier before reaching the strongly fortified Japanese beachheads themselves.
