Scapegoat
One of Canada's finest reporters reveals the true story of the murder in Somalia, the scapegoating of the wrong man, and the shocking cover-up by the Canadian army. March 16, 1993. A Somali teenager is tortured and beaten to death by Canadian peacemakers from the Airborne Regiment. Kyle Brown, a young trooper from Edmonton, is initially present, but he commits only a minor offense. He is not there when Shidane Arone is killed, and he is later commended for coming forward with information. Two weeks later, however, Brown is under arrest for torture and murder. Those most responsible go free and lower ranks are punished more. Kyle Brown, eventually convicted of torture and manslaughter, has become the scapegoat in one of the most shameful events in the history of the Canadian army. Who killed Shidane Arone? Who covered it up and why? What has happened to those responsible? What went wrong in the Canadian Airborne Regiment?
LBJ: The Mastermind of the JFK Assassination
LBJ aims to prove that Vice President Johnson played an active role in the assassination of President Kennedy and that he began planning his takeover of the U.S. presidency even before being named the vice presidential nominee in 1960. Lyndon B. Johnson's flawed personality and character traits, formed as a child, grew unchecked for the rest of his life as he suffered severe bouts of manic-depressive illness. He successfully hid this disorder from the public as he bartered, stole, and finessed his way through the corridors of power on Capitol Hill, though it's recorded that some of his aides knew of his struggle with bipolar disorder. After years of researching Johnson and the JFK assassination, Phillip F. Nelson conclusively shows that LBJ had an active role in JFK's assassination, and he includes newly-uncovered photographic evidence proving that Johnson knew when and where Kennedy's assassination would take place. Nelson's careful and meticulous research has led him to uncover secrets from one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in our country's history.

Zap
To "zap" is the ability to sift through the detail and go straight to the point. The power of the mind to visualize new ideas and scenarios is infinite. However, the rigid conditioning we undergo to meet society's rigid demands enables us to use to use only a fraction of its immense power. ZAP is about unlocking this unlimited multidimensional power of the mind and employing it for innovation and problem solution. Drawing examples from leading thinkers and innovators, the author shows that the mind can solve any problem when it is systematically focused on it over time.

Scarce Heard Amid the Guns
Scarce Heard Amid the Guns tears the curtain of myth away, providing a rare, visceral inner perspective of the various Canadian peacekeeping missions. In the Service of Peace simple words that adorn the obverse of every United Nations medal, yet behind this eloquence lurks violence and an unheralded heroism invisible to an often misunderstood quarter of Canadas military history. The Canadian contribution to peacekeeping is enormous but ensnared in a lethal mythology that has seen it abandoned to popular folklore. From the early and intrinsic Canadian contribution to the U.N. Emergency Force in 1956, through the blur of the frenetic 1990s down to the anemic level of contemporary Canadian participation, it is difficult to make sense of the wide circumference of this significant legacy. Until now. Scarce Heard Amid the Guns provides an incisive perspective on the various Canadian missions: their omnipresent doubt and un-telegraphed terrors. This insiders guided tour of our military at war in peace introduces us to some of the men and women who carried the day ordinary Canadians who did extraordinary things and continue to bear the scars of forgotten fields in their bones.

The Hill
Jared’s plane has crashed in the Alberta wilderness, and Kyle is first on the scene. When Jared insists on hiking up the highest hill in search of cell phone reception, Kyle hesitates; his Cree grandmother has always forbidden him to go near it. There’s no stopping Jared, though, so Kyle reluctantly follows. After a night spent on the hilltop—with no cell service—the teens discover something odd: the plane has disappeared. Nothing in the forest surrounding them seems right. In fact, things seem very wrong. And worst of all, something is hunting them. Karen Bass, the multi-award-winning author of Graffiti Knight and Uncertain Soldier, brings her signature action packed style to a chilling new subject: the Cree Wîhtiko legend. Inspired by the real story of a remote plane crash and by the legends of her Cree friends and neighbours, Karen brings eerie life—or perhaps something other than life—to the northern Alberta landscape in The Hill.
