Summary of Leah Sottile's When the Moon Turns to Blood
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The town of Rexburg, Idaho, is a Mormon stronghold. The town houses are all painted in the same muted beige tone, and the streets are lined with businesses that wink at the fact that this may not be Utah, but it is most definitely Mormon country. #2 When the police went to check on the boy, they were told he was visiting his grandmother in Louisiana. However, the police knew that wasn’t true, as the grandmother had called them out of desperation to track down her grandson. #3 The police were now looking for JJ Vallow, and when they went to #107, they met with Lori Vallow, who told them that her son was with one of her friends in Arizona. #4 One of the officers, Alex Cox, spoke with Lori Vallow, who told him that her ex-husband had left no life insurance policy for her or their son, but had given everything he had to his sister.

Arming America through the Centuries
While many associate the concept commonly referred to as the “military-industrial complex” with President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s 1961 farewell address, the roots of it existed two hundred years earlier. This concept, as Benjamin Franklin Cooling writes, was “part of historical lore” as a burgeoning American nation discovered the inextricable relationship between arms and the State. In Arming America through the Centuries, Cooling examines the origins and development of the military-industrial complex (MIC) over the course of American history. He argues that the evolution of America’s military-industrial-business-political experience is the basis for a contemporary American Sparta...
