Autobiography of Lee Harvey Oswald:
"This is a 'must read' for anyone with an interest in the Kennedy assassination, its impact on the American political system, and the controversies that surrounded it then."- Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI) "Reading the words of this infamous man is more illuminating than a dozen volumes of analysis of his character. This book fills a definite niche in American history and is long overdue Holloway uses professionalism and competent knowledge of history to create an engaging biography of an enigmatic man."- Morgan Ann Adams, Charlotte Austin Review. "A breath of fresh air in the JFK assassination literature."- Judge Robert Finn, former FBI agent. Lee Harvey Oswald, accused assassin of Presid...

Legendary Lawman
"Michigan Sheriff Johannes Spreen went to jail today to defend his beliefs and actions saying 'I'd rather be right than free'." Walter Cronkite, CBS News, May 7, 1977. "I'm inspired by legendary police commissioner and former sheriff Johannes Spreen, whose community-partnership approach encouraged people to work together, and it was successful."

"Johannes Spreen was a police officer extraordinary; a man who helped restructure and develop New York City Police Academy training leading to a college program, a 'West Point' for police officers-now John Jay College for Criminal Justice. Johannes Spreen is a man of enthusiasm, indeed a prophet; always ahead of his ti...
Interrupted Lives
Hood’s Texas Brigade was one of the most distinguished fighting units in Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia, participating in virtually all of the major battles and campaigns from Eltham’s Landing through Appomattox. This book, although a work of fiction, is faithful to the movements of the brigade, including its detachment to Bragg’s command and the resultant battle at Chickamauga. Prominent in the book are Hood, Lee, Longstreet, and “Stonewall” Jackson, as well as many lesser but real personalities. The book is basically about Caleb Walker, a Texas farm boy who enlists after First Manassas and remains with the Texas Brigade throughout the war. It includes Caleb’s companions, mos...
The Mind of Oswald
Lee Harvey Oswald, the accused assassin of President John F. Kennedy, has remained an enigma for several decades. Fortunately, Lee Harvey Oswald was one of those people who wrote a lot. As a result, the public can see the workings of his mind as his writings are displayed in chronological order throughout his life. They are accompanied by historical events and psychological commentary. The activities of Jack Ruby, who killed Oswald, are tracked and give insight regarding his murderous act. A psychological and political analysis of Oswald is included, as well as an explanation of most of Oswald's entries in his address book.
Tragedy in Black and White
What if race relations in the United States got so bad that the nation decided to try a radical idea: separation? The events that propel the country to such an extreme are riots, disturbances in the armed forces and on college campuses, and finally the assassination of a prominent black presidential candidate. In this book a nation-wide referendum approves the idea. Three states are set aside for blacks only, seven just for whites and the other 40 remain integrated. The story follows Mike, a white policeman, to all-white Miami; black college professor Ben and his family to all-black Chicago; and young militant Sherman also to Chicago. The brave new world that each was expecting proves elusive, for both external and internal reasons. This is a story about ambition, love, hate, violence, and betrayal. Marriages will be sorely tried, children will rebel against their parents, careers will take abrupt and surprising turns. All the manifestations of upheaval will be explored against a background of racial misunderstanding. Woven into the story is a study of the background of racial conflict dating back to slavery and segregation. Would such a solution to our racial troubles work?
The Woman Was a Devil
The Woman Was a Devil is a page-turner about a forty-year old virgin who passed her time as an antique collector until she discovered a mysterious Gauguin painting. This brought her into contact with a fraudulent curator who turned out to be a devilish woman. Suddenly three men become her love life-a lawyer, famous country western singer, and a handsome cad with an inheritance. Her steady companion is her faithful dog, a Yorkshire terrier. Women friends turn on her, but two old friends who were early school mates come to her aid. One lovable curator helps her use her knowledge of antiques to find her way out of a great quandary. The world of antiques revealing American history, auctions, charlatans and odd characters make this fascinating story even more intriguing. The mystery begins in a small Pennsylvania town just after World War II but reaches out to include Washington, D.C., the National Gallery, the Smithsonian, the Willard Hotel, Georgetown, and Las Vegas, as well as Dublin, Ireland.
Jacuzzi
'I've known Ken Jacuzzi 25 years and have admired and worked with him in political and social service in Arizona. He represents the good things that have come from immigrant families that make America so strong today." -Sen. Dennis DeConcini, retired U.S. Senator. 'Glimpse the Jacuzzi family: From their invention of the first enclosed cabin monoplane to the world's most recognized brand of whirlpool baths and spas." -Barbara Barrett, attorney, Chairman, U.S. Advisory Commission on Public Diplomacy. 'Whilst Britain's Minister for the Navy in the '70s and President of NATO's Parliamentary Assembly in the '80s, I rarely encountered anyone as impressive as the author, or anyone who could match h...
Dog Mysteries
These two exciting dog mysteries involve a sled dog in one and a poodle in the other. The Scent of a Stranger is the story of two brothers, both doctors. One man was handsome, charming, the love of his mother and half the town but a louse. The other brother was short, stout, decent, kind, but had never been loved by anyone, including his mother. He carried a secret in his heart that made him buy a one-way ticket to Alaska. There he finds his first true love and companion, a wounded sled dog. After a murder, the wrong man is accused but there was a witness to the murder. In the end, his faithful dog helps him. Murder in the Garden involves an Irish family and a young heroine who was molested as a child. She learns to breed poodles for dog shows, attempts to avenge her molestation, and gets caught up in the I.R.A. and world of terrorism. Dogs, love affairs, the old South, antiques, horse-racing and international intrigue figure strongly in this mystery. "This lady knows how to spin a tale," said Bob Cheney, author of "Interrupted Lives" and "Tragedy in Black and White".
Oswald's Politics
Making sense of Lee Harvey Oswald's politics is not easy and has understandably resulted in quite varied interpretations. In the aftermath of the assassination, the immediate reaction of many who knew him or knew about him was that Oswald could never have shot the president for political reasons. Oswald's Politics traces the political thought and behaviour of the historical Lee Harvey Oswald before the events of November 22, 1963. It presents an alternative explanatory model of Oswald to the psycho-historical one used by the Warren Commission and argues that his ideas and actions resulted more from environmental and intellectual influences than attitudinal factors. It examines the impact the...
