Trust
The delta swamplands of South Louisiana are home to both abject poverty and fantastic wealth. Trust is a story of murder, greed, betrayal and the search for the elusive angel of justice. Attorney Jeb Stuart Johnston is hired by the beautiful Justine Galatas who is the sole heir to a vast fortune which has been under the thumb of a trust controlled and manipulated by unscrupulous businessmen and their lawyers. As Jeb dives deeper into the facts of the case, he uncovers corruption and double dealing which would put Machiavelli to shame. The shadowy entities that control the vast wealth contained in the trust will stop at nothing to maintain their control of the huge fortune, including bribery, intimidation and murder. He soon finds that this case will not be won or lost in a courtroom and he has to use all of his contacts and street smarts to battle what are now his blood enemies. Jeb crosses the line between lawyer and lover with the beautiful Justine and has to face not only the formidable array of opponents set against him but also his own demons and the ghosts of his past.

America's First Battles, 1776–1965
This volume, a collection of eleven original essays by many of the foremost U.S. military historians, focuses on the transition of the Army from parade ground to battleground in each of nine wars the United States has fought. Through careful analysis of organization, training, and tactical doctrine, each essay seeks to explain the strengths and weaknesses evidenced by the outcome of the first significant engagement or campaign of the war. The concluding essay sets out to synthesize the findings and to discover whether or not American first battles manifest a characteristic "rhythm." America's First Battles provides a novel and intellectually challenging view of how America has prepared for war and how operations and tactics have changed over time. The thrust of the book--the emphasis on operational history--is at the forefront of scholarly activity in military history.
