The United States is now known as the Republican Occupied Majority European States of America, and an emperor named Natal Apollyon Vicar rules it. Respected for his service to his country, Raymond is given the job of Natals press secretary, never expecting he would soon be tried for treason. Raymond is caught and imprisoned for leaking a blog called The Watchmen Chronicle. His enemies are high up in the government: Secret Service agents and even his nemesis, the Reverend Maximus Coven. Coven was once part of a secret prophetic society, called the Watchmen Intercessory Counsel, which forewarned about Natals meteoric rise to power. Now one hundred years old, Raymond awaits trial for treason, but while rotting in prison, he writes an important journal about how Natals family came to power and how he met them. As it turns out, Raymond is much more than a press secretary; he was once given the task of raising a boy who would become the antichrist. Raymond has protected Natal all his life, so is he guilty or innocent of doing something awfuland in whose eyes?

Download or read book Watchmen and Philosophy written by William Irwin and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-05-04 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alan Moore's Watchmen is set in 1985 and chronicles the alternative history of the United States where the US edges dangerously closer to nuclear war with the Soviet Union. Within this world exists a group of crime busters, who don elaborate costumes to conceal their identity and fight crime, and an intricate plot to kill and discredit these "superheroes." Alan Moore's Watchmen popularized the graphic novel format, has been named one of Time magazine's top 100 novels, and is now being made into a highly anticipated movie adaptation. This latest book in the popular Blackwell Philosophy and Pop Culture series peers into Moore's deeply philosophical work to parse and deconstruct the ethical issues raised by Watchmen's costumed adventurers, their actions, and their world. From nuclear destruction to utopia, from governmental authority to human morality and social responsibility, it answers questions fans have had for years about Watchmen's ethical quandaries, themes, and characters.

Book excerpt: Soon to be an HBO original series, Watchmen, the groundbreaking series from award-winning author Alan Moore, presents a world where the mere presence of American superheroes changed history--the U.S. won the Vietnam War, Nixon is still president, and the Cold War is in full effect. Considered the greatest graphic novel in the history of the medium, the Hugo Award-winning story chronicles the fall from grace of a group of superheroes plagued by all-too-human failings. Along the way, the concept of the superhero is dissected as an unknown assassin stalks the erstwhile heroes. This edition of Watchmen, the groundbreaking series from Alan Moore, the award-winning writer of V For Vendetta and Batman: The Killing Joke, and features art from industry legend Dave Gibbons, with high-quality, recolored pages found in Watchmen: Abslolute Edtion.

Download or read book The Clockwork Chronicles written by Stephen Heuser and published by Anansi Publications. This book was released on 2015-01-28 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Simon and his cousin Jacob always wanted to travel the world, perhaps sail across the seas like in the stories. They didn't really expect to be able to, but assaulting the local wizards seemed like a good reason to make themselves scarce. And, should they find fame and fortune across the sea, in the shining city of Taleor, what would be the harm there? Certainly Simon's inventions had already attracted the attention of Lioras, who claimed the young men would find plenty of like-minded people there, if they would only travel with him. There were, of course, some things the good merchant failed to mention, such as the creatures that dwell beneath the waves, and in the forests they have to pass through. Also, that he may have exaggerated how welcome they would be in Taleor. And the current success of their comrades' inventions and guild in a city where magic swims through every facet of life. And where they would be living. Oh, and Lioras failed to mention the war brewing in the south as well. Honestly, the longer the cousins live in Taleor, the more it seems they may have been misled rather badly. Thankfully, once settled in, a place for their lives seems easy enough to carve out. Friends, drink, (even the extra coin or three). Despite it all, this city might be exactly what Simon and Jacob needed. Of course, things have a way of changing rather suddenly...

One day, a mysterious package arrives on his doorstep, pulling him into a mesmerizing adventure to uncover the centuries-old history that binds the two sides of his family. From the storied Ibn Ezra Synagogue in Old Cairo, where generations of his family served as watchmen, to the lives of British twin sisters Agnes and Margaret, who in 1897 leave Cambridge on a mission to rescue sacred texts that have begun to disappear from the synagogue, this tightly woven multigenerational tale illuminates the tensions that have torn communities apart and the unlikely forces that attempt to bridge that divide.

Download or read book Watchman at the Gates written by George Joulwan and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-05-25 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: General George Joulwan played a role in many pivotal world events during his long and exceptional career. Present at both the rise and fall of the Berlin Wall, he served multiple tours in Germany during the Cold War and two tours in Vietnam. By chance, he was recruited as Nixon's White House deputy chief of staff and witnessed the last acts of the Watergate drama first-hand. He went on to lead US Southern Command—fighting insurgencies and the drug war in Latin America—and was Supreme Allied Commander of NATO forces in Europe (SACEUR) during the Rwandan genocide and the Bosnian peacekeeping missions of the 1990s. Joulwan chronicles his career in the upper echelons of the armed forces. He shares his experiences working with major military and political figures, including generals William E. DePuy, Alexander Haig, John Vessey, and Colin Powell, US ambassador Richard Holbrooke, and presidents Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, and Bill Clinton. Beyond the battlefield, Joulwan became an advocate for military and civilian relations during the Vietnam War, deescalating several high-intensity situations while studying at Loyola University as part of the US Army's Option C program. Watchman at the Gates merges memory and lessons in leadership as Joulwan pays tribute to his teachers and colleagues and explains the significance of their influence on his personal approach to command. As a leader of combat troops in Vietnam, he appealed to his subordinates on an individual basis, taking time to build relationships that proved vital to the effectiveness of his commands. He also reveals how similar relationships of mutual understanding were crucial in his peaceful and productive dealings with both allies and enemies. At its heart, this inspiring memoir is a soldier's story—written by a warrior who saw defending his country and the democratic values it stands for as his highest calling. Featuring a foreword by Tom Brokaw, Watchman at the Gates offers incredible insights into world events as well as valuable lessons for a new generation of leaders.
