Women of the Teutonic Nations
You will love this story about the massive and impressive Teutonic woman. Excerpt: It is certain that the prehistoric Germanic community began with the communal use of women for pleasure or profit. This common use could be broken and suppressed only by marriage by capture.
The Rights of My People
There were two battles for Hawaii's sovereignty led by Queen Liliuokalani. This book, The Rights of My People, revisits these battles - the 1893 coup d'etat and the annexation in 1898 - from a new perspective, against the backdrop of the harsh remnants of the Civil War, the missionary's disquieting view of race, and the emerging role of Hawaiian women. The Rights of My People explores the fate of the Crown lands, a quarter of the Hawaii islands, taken in the 1893 coup d'etat and contested aggressively by Liliuokalani through 1910. Woven into the story are threats of execution and assassination and the forces of bigotry, condescension, and deception she confronted. The events unfold in Honolulu, Hilo, San Francisco, Boston, and Washington, D.C. She challenged the United States before Congress repeatedly for complicity in taking the Crown lands. Finally, in the grandeur of what is now the Renwick Art Gallery, the United States Court of Claims heard and decided Liliuokalani v. United States of America.
A Life for Mankind
This book could have started with "Once upon a time there was a Jewish boy who had a dream...." because it describes the life of a personality who was driven by a strong destiny, fueled by the discovery of Jesus as the Messiah of history and with a plan to save mankind from self destruction. He became a renowned biblical researcher, the founder of a world nation and was to influence both the meek and the mighty. He was a radical thinker and a man of action supported by a wife of equal strength and determination. Often the subject of the most vitriolic and unjustifiable attacks, he remained true to his vision and principles throughout his life. By unveiling considerable previously unpublished sources, the real man behind the 'Passover Plot' is brought alive to the reader.

David Jayne Hill and the Problem of World Peace
David Jayne Hill was a scholar, a diplomat, and a publicist from 1874 to 1930. He was the youngest college president in America, steering Bucknell University and the University of Rochester through turbulent times. He then served as First Assistant Secretary of State and U.S. envoy to Switzerland. The man and his accomplishments truly deserve such a fine biography.
The Political Theories of Martin Luther
After a description of the Germany of Luther's day, the author enters upon various important topics in political science and endeavors to show by citations from Luther's writings the positions taken by that reformer. His views are not formulated in any connected treatise on the theory of the State but a compilation of detailed expressions exhibit the principles upon which he seemed to act. The author organizes the matter in a final summary, by which it appears that Luther was of the opinion that the State was of divine origin but its form was a matter for human determination. The sovereignty of the State is exclusive, not shared by the Church, and, furthermore, the State is not simply a swor...
Aleister Crowley, Sylvester Viereck, Literature, Lust, and the Great War
This book explores the lives of two writers, one born in Germany (Viereck) and one born in England (Crowley), who were both influenced by decadent French writers such as Baudelaire and Mirbeau and English poets such as Swinburne and Wilde. They both wrote decadent poetry early in their careers before becoming known in literary circles as two of the most wicked writers in America (Viereck) and the world (Crowley). By their twenties, their reputations as rebels against the restrictive and stifled cultures they inhabited were firmly established. Both men enjoyed breaking with the status quo by writing poetry, short stories, and plays with exotic scenes that celebrated the beauty of the female b...
