Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Readers who can’t get enough of speculation about the JFK and RFK assassinations should definitely give [CIA Rogues and the Killing of the Kennedys] a read . . .”—Booklist The US Central Intelligence Agency is no stranger to conspiracy and allegations of corruption. Across the globe, violent coups have been orchestrated, high-profile targets kidnapped, and world leaders dispatched at the hands of CIA agents. During the 1960s, on domestic soil, the methods used to protect their interests and themselves at the expense of the American people were no less ruthless. In CIA Rogues and the Killing of the Kennedys, Patrick Nolan fearlessly investigates the CIA’s involvement in the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and Senator Robert F. Kennedy—why the brothers needed to die and how rogue intelligence agents orchestrated history’s most infamous conspiracy. Nolan furthers the research of leading forensic scientists, historians, and scholars who agree that serious unanswered questions remain regarding the assassinations of John F. Kennedy fifty years ago and Robert F. Kennedy in 1968. He revisits and refutes what is currently known about Lee Harvey Oswald and Sirhan Bishara Sirhan and offers readers a compelling profile of the CIA’s Richard Helms, an amoral master of clandestine operations with a chip on his shoulder. Bolstered by a foreword from Dr. Henry C. Lee, one of the world’s foremost forensic authorities, CIA Rogues and the Killing of the Kennedys is an unmatched effort in forensic research and detective work. Nolan has made a significant contribution to the literature on that fateful day in Dallas as well as shed light on that dark night at the Ambassador Hotel. Readers interested in conspiracy, the Kennedy family, or American history will find this book invaluable. Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Arcade imprint, are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in history--books about World War II, the Third Reich, Hitler and his henchmen, the JFK assassination, conspiracies, the American Civil War, the American Revolution, gladiators, Vikings, ancient Rome, medieval times, the old West, and much more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Franklin Conspiracy is the story of a small rural real estate salesman whose normal, everyday life is thrown into chaos when his office is delivered a 400 year old scheme to take over the world. It is also the tale of a manuscript written by a disgruntled band of rogue Conquistadors who had been banished for treason by the Spanish Royal family for keeping the vash riches that they plundered from the Aztecs in South America. These same men turned to the Vatican to buy "god-like status" in recognition of their wealth. But when it was refused, they were excommunicated and sent into exile. It was while they were in exile that they drafted the formula for a new world order. They learned how to program human thoughts and manipulate them so that they could have ultimate power. After centures of executing that plan, their descendants are ultra-powerful and own the world's wealth. The Franklin Conspiracy is a tale where money has become almighty, and how over the years our faith has been distracted by greed and the wealthy have become almighty. However, as our hero fumbles through the confusion around him, he is assisted by a group of people with vested interests. They use our hero to lure the rogue Conquistadors into the open and, with the help of the Roman Catholic Church, destroy the untruth that has destroyed faith.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the relation between nationhood, literary culture and globalism in the context of the Cold War struggle over the legacy of European modernity, a struggle to represent diverse experiences of the political, after World War II and colonialism.

The significance of Cold War political modernity is made evident in the staging of dialogues between post-1945 American and Eastern European novelists: Kundera with Roth, Coover with Popescu and Kis and DeLillo.
