Book excerpt: "Deceptive Calm" begins against the turbulent backdrop of 1968. Two American legends, Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy, are felled by assassins. In the South, it was a tough time to be black. A stunning light-skinned beauty, Vanessa, lives in a Catholic orphanage for Black children in the Jim Crow South.. Her personal traumas include a Ku Klux Klan attack, the death of the nun who reared her, and a back-alley abortion which lead Vanessa to change her race. Obtaining the birth certiﬁcate of a dead white baby, she assumes the child's identity to begin her new life. Starting out as a college intern, she works her way up the newsroom ranks to become the ﬁrst female co-anchor of the evening newscast. Her mesmerizing and glamorous on-air personality moves the station to the top of the Nielsen ratings. Later, she marries into a wealthy and powerful family. Her charmed life abruptly ends when her ﬁrst child is hospitalized and diagnosed with sickle cell anemia. Discovering his wife and toddler son are Black, her husband plots their murders. The police investigation seems clear cut, until a curious, young detective uncovers clues to Vanessa's childhood. As he launches into her past, nothing is as it appears. The detective gets thrown oﬀ the case but still manages to unearth her prior life. The aftermath of the discovery brings down one of the pillars of San Francisco society, the ruthless Von Westerkamp family.

Book excerpt: PHANTOM was - and still is - one of the most secret but most effective of the wartime special regiments. It was formed in 1939 with the mission of finding out exactly where all the Allied forward positions were - a task which required linguistic ability, unlimited tact, and radio expertise. After Dunkirk its squadrons at first kept an eye on all invasion points, before deploying to Greece, and to the Middle East. An indispensable direct communication link between the forward patrols and command headquarters, it operated in Italy, Sicily, Austria, France, Belgium, Holland and Germany. Phantom was at Dieppe with the Commandos, in France with the SAS, at Arnhem with Airborne and in Germany until the surrender. PHANTOM members were as varied and colourful as its tasks. Among its member were two Privy Councillors, three life peers, five hereditary peers, the Master of a Cambridge college, three professors, a famous actor-playwright, a film star, a famous sculptor, a Law Lord, a steward of the Jockey Club, a Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police and numerous authors and journalists.As this fascinating history shows, PHANTOM was so successful in its role of tracking both allied and enemy movements and relaying vital information direct to commanders that it became hugely respected and yet retained its aura of mystery.

Through rhythmic text and warm illustrations, this gentle, reassuring book offers toddlers simple tools to release strong feelings, express them, and calm themselves down. Children learn to use their calm-down place—a quiet space where they can cry, ask for a hug, sing to themselves, be rocked in a grown-up’s arms, talk about feelings, and breathe: “One, two, three . . . I’m calm as can be. I’m taking care of me.” After a break, toddlers will feel like new—and adults will, too. Books include tips for parents and caregivers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Utah War of 1857–58, the unprecedented armed confrontation between Mormon Utah Territory and the U.S. government, was the most extensive American military action between the Mexican and Civil wars. At Sword’s Point presents in two volumes the first in-depth narrative and documentary history of that extraordinary conflict. William P. MacKinnon offers a lively narrative linking firsthand accounts—most previously unknown—from soldiers and civilians on both sides. This first volume traces the war’s causes and preliminary events, including President Buchanan’s decision to replace Brigham Young as governor of Utah and restore federal authority through a large army expedition. Also examined are Young’s defensive-aggressive reactions, the onset of armed hostilities, and Thomas L. Kane’s departure at the end of 1857 for his now-famous mediating mission to Utah. MacKinnon provides a balanced, comprehensive account, based on a half century of research and a wealth of carefully selected new material. Women’s voices from both sides enrich this colorful story. At Sword’s Point presents the Utah War as a sprawling confrontation with regional and international as well as territorial impact. As a nonpartisan definitive work, it eclipses previous studies of this remarkably bloody turning point in western, military, and Mormon history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Russia's surprising return to the world stage since 2000 has aroused the curiosity--if not the fear--of the West. Gradually, the Kremlin went from a policy of deference to foreign powers to acting with independence. The driver of this transformation was President Vladimir Putin, who with skillful caution navigated Russia back into the ranks of global powers. In theaters of conflict such as Georgia, Syria and Ukraine, the Kremlin won significant victories at little cost to consolidate its decisive position. Following a chronological approach from the fall of the Soviet Union to the present, this book draws on new documents to describe how Russia regained its former global prominence. Clear accounts of key decisions and foreign policy events--many presented for the first time--provide important insights into the major confrontations with the West.
