Rising from the Ashes
This is a true and incredible story of a Japanese adolescent, Shinji Mikamo, who miraculously survived the first atomic bombing of human kinds. He was on top of his house roof with nothing to shield him at only 3/4 of a mile (1,200m) from the epicenter in Hiroshima on August 6, 1945 toward the end of the World War II. But what made Shinji stand out from most of the survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, or even of many other man-made disasters in our history, he never hated Americans as aggressors. He somehow saw things from a much bigger perspective even in the very strict Japanese military government's mind control of civilians during the war. As one of his three legacy-carrying daughters, Dr. Akiko Mikamo wrote his story to send out the messages of human love and power of forgiveness to remind the world our worst enemies of yesterday could become the best friends of tomorrow.

Renacer de las cenizas
Hiroshima, 6 de agosto de 1945. El joven Shinji Mikamo y su padre disponen todo lo necesario para la demolición de su casa. Nada les hace sospechar que esa mañana se abrirán ante sus ojos las puertas del infierno, pues la bomba atómica estalla a escasa distancia del lugar donde se encuentran. A pesar de su cercanía al epicentro de la explosión, milagrosamente ambos logran sobrevivir, aunque con graves heridas. La destrucción causada por esta desconocida arma, de una magnitud jamás vista hasta entonces, los conducirá a un angustioso peregrinaje en busca de su salvación a través de un nuevo mundo de devastación y horror. "Renacer de las cenizas", una historia biográfica real escrita por una de las hijas del propio protagonista, no solo constituye un fidedigno testimonio que nos aproxima a los extraordinarios acontecimientos que se convertirán en hito indeleble de la historia del siglo XX, sino que también constituye un extraordinario ejemplo de superación personal y perdón, un mensaje de paz y amor para toda la humanidad.
Spies in the Congo
Spies in the Congo is the untold story of one of the most tightly-guarded secrets of the Second World War: America's desperate struggle to secure enough uranium to build its atomic bomb. The Shinkolobwe mine in the Belgian Congo was the most important deposit of uranium yet discovered anywhere on earth, vital to the success of the Manhattan Project. Given that Germany was also working on an atomic bomb, it was an urgent priority for the US to prevent uranium from the Congo being diverted to the enemy - a task entrusted to Washington's elite secret intelligence agents. Sent undercover to colonial Africa to track the ore and to hunt Nazi collaborators, their assignment was made even tougher by the complex political reality and by tensions with Belgian and British officials. A gripping spy-thriller, Spies in the Congo is the true story of unsung heroism, of the handful of good men - and one woman - in Africa who were determined to deny Hitler his bomb.

Dark Crusade
Dark Crusade offers the most nuanced analysis yet written of the dangerous and complex phenomenon of Christian Zionism's influence on American foreign policy, Despite its efforts to promote peace and instil democracy in the region, America is viewed by many in the Middle East as a dishonest broker waging a 'dark crusade' against its enemies: in covert collaboration with Israel. The crucial hostility to Arab and Palestinian interests of the so-called 'Zionist lobby' in the US has long been recognised. But it is another less familiar element in US politics that increasingly calls the shots on Capitol Hill, directing the course of American foreign policy there: Christian Zionism.Christian Zioni...
