Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the merciless deserts of Barrenwest, a realm where the wild west meets the whimsy of high fantasy, we follow Tommy White, a reluctant drifter thrown into a world he had only dared to explore in books. For years, Tommy was confined to the northern town of Fruming, oblivious to the thrills and terrors beyond his sheltered life. But when circumstances propel him into the heart of Barrenwest, Tommy is thrust into a maelstrom of fate that could determine the destiny of the entire continent. In his journey, Tommy stumbles upon a diamond, an artifact of untold power that mysteriously resonates with him. Unbeknownst to Tommy, this gem is far more than a shiny trinket; it's the key to the looming war and harbinger of potential calamity. As he ventures deeper into the unforgiving desert, he uncovers the inexplicable allure of the diamond and its true nature. In his extraordinary journey, Tommy confronts cowboys armed with magical bullets, battles ghastly vampires, abnormal critters, and an array of mystical creatures unique to Barrenwest. Some of these beings are formidable foes, while others prove to be unexpected allies, aiding him in surviving the ruthless desert and facing his deepest fears. "Battle For Barrenwest – The Black Sun" offers a unique blend of classic Western and Fantasy genres. Its narrative delves into epic battles, explores profound perspectives on the dichotomy of good and evil, and blurs the lines between heroism and villainy. Behind the human conflicts and amidst the tangible terrors, a deeper, more sinister evil lurks in the shadows, threatening to pounce from the unknown.
Book Synopsis The Real War on Terror by : Derek Kubilus
Download or read book The Real War on Terror written by Derek Kubilus and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2007-06-15 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you ever find yourself confused about the war and violence that pervade our post-9/11 world? On the one hand, the Bible and Christ speak of loving enemies and self-sacrifice. On the other hand, the world around us teaches, and most Christians seem to simply accept, that violence is necessary in a world wrecked with sin. Are Christians a people of peace? Does that peace have to be won through war? Should we fight for our convictions? Or die for them? Jonathan and Derek invite you to come along with them as they explore the biblical teachings on war and violence and attempt to construct a solidly biblical and uniquely Christian view of war and violence.
Book Synopsis The Dakota War by : Micheal Clodfelter
Download or read book The Dakota War written by Micheal Clodfelter and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-07-25 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the United States fought the Civil War in the early 1860s, the country's western frontier was simultaneously the site of significant military campaigns that took the lives of both American and Sioux. The Dakota campaign, led by Commander Henry Hastings Sibley and Brigadier General Alfred Sully against the Sioux between 1863 and 1864 was greater in scope, intensity and bloodshed than almost all other Indian battles fought in the West but is often overlooked. The Minnesota War of 1862 and the Dakota War of 1863-1865 were among the most significant U.S. victories in the Indian wars, but did not temper the passions of the Sioux to preserve their people and land or the desires of the whites to settle the frontier. The wars only incited the Teton Sioux to enter into a long-term resistance that would end only at Wounded Knee in 1890.
Book Synopsis Winston S. Churchill: Finest Hour, 1939–1941 by : Martin Gilbert
Download or read book Winston S. Churchill: Finest Hour, 1939–1941 written by Martin Gilbert and published by Rosetta Books. This book was released on 2015-04-05 with total page 1031 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sixth volume in the official biography: “A milestone, a monument, a magisterial achievement” (Andrew Roberts, author of The Storm of War). Starting with the outbreak of war in September 1939 and ending with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, this volume in the epic biography of Winston S. Churchill draws on remarkably diverse material: from the War Cabinet and other government records to Churchill’s own archive and diaries and letters of his private secretariat to the recollections of those who worked most closely with him. On the day Hitler invaded Poland, Churchill, aged sixty-four, had been out of office for ten years. Two days later, he became First Lord of the Admiralty, in charge of British naval policy and at the center of war direction. In May 1940 he became prime minister, leading his nation during a time of grave danger and setbacks. His first year and a half as prime minister included the Dunkirk evacuation, the fall of France, the Battle of Britain, the Blitz, the Battle of the Atlantic, the struggle in the Western Desert, and Hitler’s invasion of Russia. By the end of 1940, Britain under Churchill’s leadership had survived the onslaught and was making plans to continue the war against an enemy of unlimited ambition and ferocious will. One of Churchill’s inner circle said: “We who worked with Churchill every day of the war still saw at most a quarter of his daily tasks and worries.” Martin Gilbert has pieced together the whole, setting in context much hitherto scattered and secret evidence, in order to give an intimate and fascinating account of the architect of Britain’s “finest hour.” “The most scholarly study of Churchill in war and peace ever written.” —Herbert Mitgang, The New York Times

Book Synopsis The Colonists by : Norman K. Risjord
Download or read book The Colonists written by Norman K. Risjord and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2001 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This updated volume of Representative Americans highlights three generations of colonial Americans--men and women who founded, shaped, and coined traditions of this country. This is a glimpse into a time of empire and frontier, religion, and science. The breadth of this experience is represented in the book's three sections. "Pathmarkers of the Empire" are represented in the first section. Captain John Smith and Nathaniel Bacon, though living half a century apart, were frontier soldiers shaping relations between Native and European cultures. William Bradford and William Penn came to America, also half a century apart, hoping to found a community of the righteous. In the book's second section, "Swords of Empire," the imperial, triangular contest among Britian, France, and Spain for supremacy in the New World is explored. "In the vanguard of the empire were the fortune hunters," Risjord writes. Among these "Caesars of the Forest" were Pierre Esprit Radisson and his merchant brother-in-law Medard Chouart who traversed the wilds of Canada in search of the elusive Northwest Passage. The book's final section, "Bridges of Empire," presents, among others, Cotton Mather and James Logan, who stood poised between an older order of religious humility and a newer one of political will which would later blossom into national identity.

Download or read book Knot of Stone written by Nicolaas Vergunst and published by Arena books. This book was released on 2011-04-25 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1510, when the Cape of Good Hope was still revered as the Portal to the Indies, the Viceroy of Portuguese India was led ashore, attacked, slain and hurriedly buried in a shallow grave. The murder of Dom Francisco d'Almeida remains a mystery to this day. Was it the fulfilment of a prophecy or an act of poetic justice? Was it an ambush, a mutiny or even an assassination? If so, was it instigated by the King of Portugal or the Church of Rome?Knot of Stone is a tale of historical detection in which two unlikely travel companions - a restless Dutch historian, Sonja Haas, and a jaded Afrikaans archaeologist, Jason Tomas - find themselves drawn together after discovering a five-century-old skeleton at the foot of Table Mountain. Their search for new evidence leads the reader ever further north to ancestral burial sites, remote mountain sanctuaries, sacred springs, medieval monasteries and rare museum artefacts. Via various roadside encounters, including the startling revelations of a sangoma (a healer empowered by the ancestors), they reconstruct the past and their own identities, with divergent consequences. The multi-layered story is ultimately a tale of self-discovery.As a novel, Knot of Stone presents a unique and insightful revision of actual events, offering a courageous departure from mainstream historical writing. With its captivating mystery, its mixture of legend and original research, plus the karmic background of various historical individuals, this enthralling book will appeal to all those who have enjoyed the enigmatic works of Umberto Eco and Dan Brown.www.knotofstone.com

Download or read book Changing Qatar written by Geoff Harkness and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2020-07-28 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A cultural study of modern Qatar and how it navigates change and tradition Qatar, an ambitious country in the Arabian Gulf, grabbed headlines as the first Middle Eastern nation selected to host the FIFA World Cup. As the wealthiest country in the world—and one of the fastest-growing—it is known for its capital, Doha, which boasts a striking, futuristic skyline. In Changing Qatar, Geoff Harkness takes us beyond the headlines, providing a fresh perspective on modern-day life in the increasingly visible Gulf. Drawing on three years of immersive fieldwork and more than a hundred interviews, he describes a country in transition, one struggling to negotiate the fluid boundaries of culture, tradition, and modernity. Harkness shows how Qataris reaffirm—and challenge—traditions in many areas of everyday life, from dating and marriage, to clothing and humor, to gender and sports. A cultural study of citizenship in modern Qatar, this book offers an illuminating portrait that cannot be found elsewhere.
