The Day of the Scorpion
Second in the epic quartet capturing life at the end of British rule in India, “an achievement of unusual dimensions and power” (The Observer (UK)). In The Day of the Scorpion, Scott draws us deeper in to his epic of India at the close of World War II. With force and subtlety, he recreates both private ambition and perversity, and the politics of an entire subcontinent at a turning point in history. As the scorpion, encircled by a ring of fire, will sting itself to death, so does the British raj hasten its own destruction when threatened by the flames of Indian independence. Brutal repression and imprisonment of India’s leaders cannot still the cry for home rule. And during the chaos, ...
A Country Sweetheart
In 'A Country Sweetheart,' Dora Russell weaves a captivating love story enriched with a tapestry of ideological underpinnings that reflect her staunch feminist and socialist convictions. The book is set against a quintessentially British backdrop, manifesting a nuanced literary style that harbors a dialectic between romantic narrative and sociopolitical commentary. Russell's prose, firmly rooted in the early 20th-century feminist literary context, uses the personal as a vehicle to explore wider societal issues, a technique that mirrors the contemporary works of Fabian socialists and suffragette writers of her time.

The 4th North Carolina Cavalry in the Civil War
In April 1862, the Civil War was entering its second year and North Carolina was rallying to supply more troops for the Confederacy. The Partisan Ranger Act, passed by the Confederate Congress on April 21, prompted local leaders to recruit companies of irregular soldiers for service in the Confederate Army. Seven such companies were banded together into a regiment to form the 4th North Carolina Cavalry: a true cross-section of North Carolina, it contained soldiers from the largest urban areas and smallest rural areas from fifteen counties. This history of the 4th North Carolina Cavalry is based largely on primary source material--the official records, letters, diaries and recollections of the soldiers. The 4th North Carolina saw action in North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania, and was a part of General Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. The roster comprises a large part of the book and provides biographical, genealogical and military information about each soldier.
