  “Will give readers a feeling for what it was like to fight in the Global War on Terror and the kind of young people who stepped forward to do it.” —On Point: The Journal of Army HistoryKelly Eads joined the 101st Airborne Division soon after 9/eleven, his experience reflecting the patriotism and commitment of so many young men and women who responded to the attack. He deployed to Iraq twice with the 2nd Battalion, 502nd Infantry Regiment.Early in their deployment to Iraq, the 2nd Battalion brought the fight directly to the enemy by setting up patrol bases in the local areas where they lived and operated. Soon they built a reputation for themselves, becoming known to the enemy as the Black Hearts—The 502nd had been distinguished on the battlefield by black hearts on their helmets since World War II. Their Scout Platoon became known as Painted Guns due to their practice of camouflaging their rifles.During Eads’ deployments, the battalion would experience thousands of Improvised Explosive Devices and firefights. They would spend countless hours in blistering 120-degree desert heat, controlling roads and preventing enemy freedom of movement; and would dedicate months to hunting enemy mortar teams and terror cells.With the help of Dan Morgan, an Infantry officer who deployed multiple times to Iraq and Afghanistan as a commander and operations officer, Eads takes the reader on a rollercoaster of combat experiences during the hunt for the most violent terrorist in Iraq, Abū Muṣʻab Zarqāwī, bringing to life the painstaking and horrid details of combat in a sectarian war. He tells the story of the soldiers’ camaraderie, built through adversity, and the love of family that sustained them.

  Fixing the Fates - An Adoptee's...

  The secrets, lies, and layers of deception about Diane Dewey’s origins were meant for her protection—but eventually, they imploded. Living with her family in suburban Philadelphia, Diane had grown up knowing she was born in Stuttgart and adopted at age one from an orphanage. She’d been told her biological parents were dead. Then, in 2002, when she was forty-seven years old, Diane got a letter from Switzerland: her biological father, Otto, wanted to bring her into his life. With that, her world shifted on its axis. 
  In the months that ensued, everybody had a different story to tell about Diane’s origins, including Otto when they met in New York City. She struggled to understand what was at stake with the lies. Like a private eye, she sifted through competing versions of the truth only to find that, having traveled throughout Europe and back, identity is a state of mind. As more information surfaced, the myths gave way to a certain elusive peace; Diane discovered a tribe in her mother’s family, found a Swiss husband, gained a voice, and, for the first time, began to trust in the intuition that had nudged her all along. One-part forensic investigation, one-part self-discovery, Fixing the Fates  is a story about seeing behind artifice and living one’s truth.

  Anglophobia - The Unrecognised...

  Harry Richardson, Frank Salter

  “The white race is the biggest murderer, rapist, pillager, and thief of the modern world.” So said journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones. 
  Had she said this about any other race, it is unlikely that she would ever have found employment with a mainstream media outlet. Yet not only was Nikole Hannah-Jones hired by The New York Times; she received the coveted Pulitzer Prize for journalism for the 1619 project which also defames white people. 
  Why is it that such hateful rhetoric is no barrier to employment at The New York Times, whilst criticism of any other racial group would have you fired in a New York minute? Why is Critical Race Theory and its defamation of white people and their societies seeping into every corner of education, the media, and the corporate world? 
  These and other questions need answers because Western civilisation in Australia and elsewhere is facing an existential threat. Anglophobia The Unrecognised Hatred analyses and articulates the root causes of this pervasive anti-white hatred. 
  The book is a systematic rejection of the hypocritical notion that racism is acceptable – so long as it is only directed at white men, women and children.

  Arthur and the Lost Kingdoms

  A "fascinating historical detective work" that pins down the real story of the legendary medieval king and the court of Camelot (Spectator). 
   
   
    
  The Holy Grail, the kingdom of Camelot, the Knights of the Round Table, and the magical sword Excalibur are all key ingredients of the legends surrounding King Arthur. But who was he really, where did he come from, and how much of what we read about him in stories that date back to the Dark Ages is true? So far, historians have failed to show that King Arthur really existed at all, and for a good reason—they have been looking in the wrong place. 
   
   
    
  In this "vivid and thought-provoking" book, Alistair Moffat shatters all existing assumptions about Britain's most enigmatic hero (Birmingham Evening Mail). With references to literary sources and historical documents, as well as archeology and the ancient names of rivers, hills, and forts, he strips away a thousand years of myth to unveil the real King Arthur. And in doing so, he solves one of the greatest riddles of them all—the site of Camelot itself

  Summary: Determined - A Science...

  DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL BOOK. 
  This is a summary, and it does not accompany the official 
  'Determined: A Science of Life Without Free Will' by Robert M. Sapolsky is a profound exploration of the concept of free will in human behavior. Building on his previous work in "Behave," which delved into the reasons behind good and bad human actions, Sapolsky advances the idea that the nature-nurture interplay significantly dictates our behavior, challenging the notion of a distinct self that controls our biology. 
  The book synthesizes a current understanding of consciousness, blending aspects of reason, emotion, and responses to stimuli across one's lifetime. Sapolsky methodically debunks major free will arguments, traversing through chaos and complexity science, quantum physics, and philosophical concepts. He illustrates how historical medical perspectives, like viewing seizures as demonic possession, have evolved to a more understanding stance that reduces personal blame. 
  Sapolsky also examines the implications of life without free will in the realms of punishment, morality, and societal living. Contrary to fears of anarchy and existential despair, he argues that acknowledging the absence of free will could lead to a more compassionate and humane world where judgment and self-criticism are less prevalent. 'Determined' presents a challenging yet enlightening perspective on human behavior, urging a reevaluation of how we perceive actions and responsibility.
