Fire's Shadow: Operation Skymaster
What was formerly the United States Customs Service initiated "Operation Skymaster", an undercover operation headquartered in the seemingly quiet Southern city of Mobile, Alabama. The agency recruited some major league players, gangsters associated with some of the most notorious names in the dope world. They pardoned them their prior sins and gave them a sanitized new start. They were given generous living stipends, promised cash rewards based upon results and let loose. What could go wrong?

Anthologies of Historiographical Speeches from Antiquity to Early Modern Times
Anthologies of speeches excerpted from history books constitute a relatively little-known rhetorical and bibliographic genre. From ancient times to the present day, the practice of culling characters’ orations from one or more works and publishing them independently of their original source has produced new and different ways of reading and using history. Anthologies of Historiographical Speeches offers an introduction to the very diverse questions that arise from the study of the genre through a variety of approaches and methodological tools. Lying at the point where rhetoric and historiography intersect, the essays included in this volume focus on the rhetorical aspects of the collections, as well as on their production, transmission, and reception from antiquity to the early modern period.
Finding Abbey

Marxists at the Gate
No one anticipated in 1958 that, in the midst of a remarkable prosperity, Cuba would fall into Communism. It seemed impossible that an island 90 miles from the US, the most powerful Capitalistic country in the planet, could turn Communist. Yet in one year it happened, at the cost of hundreds of lives, thousands of exiles, the eradication of free press, end of freedom of speech and private education, freedom of worship and private property. Suddenly, everything belonged to the government, Cubans had to ask permission to travel abroad, if they left the island they could not return, the government decided what foods they could eat, where they had to live, what professions they could practice and what jobs were open to them. This book presents the history of how it happened, how it got started and the deceit and the treachery that made it possible. Cuba has not recovered its lost freedoms after60 plus years of Communism... and probably never will. It's a great lesson for anyone sympathetic with the radical left.
Xenophon’s ›Anabasis‹ and its Reception
This volume constitutes the first large-scale collaborative reflection on Xenophon’s Anabasis, gathering experts on Greek historiography and Xenophon.
