Sins of the Fathers, the Thomas Kane Chronicles
The balance of good and evil is skewed. Events in history have been altered in an apparent attempt to promote evil. Those events have consequences. Thomas Kane must save the world, or is it only his mind that needs saved? Book one of the trilogy, " Sins of the Fathers-The Thomas Kane Chronicles" introduces Kane and his desperate attempt to right the wrongs.
"Liberty to the Downtrodden"
Thomas L. Kane (18221883), a crusader for antislavery, womens rights, and the downtrodden, rose to prominence in his day as the most ardent and persuasive defender of Mormons religious liberty. Though not a Mormon, Kane sought to defend the much-reviled group from the Holy War waged against them by evangelical America. His courageous personal intervention averted a potentially catastrophic bloody conflict between federal troops and Mormon settlers in the now nearly forgotten Utah War of 185758. Drawing on extensive, newly available archives, this book is the first to tell the full story of Kanes extraordinary life. The book illuminates his powerful Philadelphia family, his personal life and eccentricities, his reform achievements, his place in Mormon history, and his career as a Civil War general. Further, the book revises previous understandings of nineteenth-century reform, showing how Kane and likeminded others fused Democratic Party ideology, anti-evangelicalism, and romanticism.

Understanding Contemporary Strategy
Understanding Contemporary Strategy provides an accessible and comprehensive introduction to the theory and practice of modern strategy. Covering all the main issues in the field, the book explores the major themes through a combination of classical and modern strategic theory, history and current practice.

Each chapter presents the reader with a succinct summary of the topic, but also provides a challenging analysis of current issues, supporting students with pedagogical features such as suggested further reading, boxed case studies and study questions. This book will be essential reading for upper-level students of strategic studies, war studies, military history and international security.

Two letters from Thomas L. Kane, 1858 and 1863. The first, addressed to H.H. Cumming, says he is going to give a talk at the New-York Historical Society about Cumming's brother, General Cumming, and asks him for information. The second, to be passed on by the unnamed addressee to General Halleck, asks to be given a command "with untied hands", in Louisiana or elsewhere. Accompanied by clippings of dealers' descriptions of the second letter.
