Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This carefully edited collection has been designed and formatted to the highest digital standards and adjusted for readability on all devices. Owen Wister (1860-1938) was an American writer and "father" of western fiction. When he started writing, he naturally inclined towards fiction set on the western frontier. Wister's most famous work remains the novel The Virginian, set in the Wild West. It describes the life of a cowboy who is a natural aristocrat, set against a highly mythologized version of the Johnson County War and taking the side of the large land owners. The Virginian paved the way for many more westerns by such authors as Zane Grey, Louis L'Amour, and several others. It is also widely regarded as being the first cowboy novel.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the invigorating, spine-tingling, true story of Sicko; a once-upon-a-time homeless kid bred in the west Bronx. Sicko’s life details the timeline of a lawless adolescent mentally trapped within the limits of poverty. A gifted Indo-African, adapting to his environment year after year, to the extent of adding to the ugly statistics of high school dropouts in the region. “Shaking that hood mentality wasn't easy. The streets was all I knew. I was conditioned to embrace poverty as home. Follow me as I take you through some unbelievable conditions and hardships. But keep in mind that although it may seem as if I enjoyed my part in the despair, I was never comfortable there. I just couldn't seem to find a way out.” At the young age of sixteen, Sicko merged with a sibling to form a hip-hop group called the “Darkside Mob”. Together, they inked their first recording deal and went on to travel the states. Performing alongside major industry artists, their fan base expanded quickly. Success seemed only a few events away. Suddenly, a stream of incidences occurred that landed them right back on the streets of the Bronx. Along the endless violent path they chose to resume, he and his brothers took a turn for the worse. Burdens only got heavier. Encounters came in the form of war scars and prison threats. That’s up until the authors desire for change. A transformation that was far from easy. In this heartfelt testimony, you'll be walked through drastic measures, to better understand the damaging of a childhood that affected one’s adulthood. You’ll relate to the everyday occurrences that keeps humanity divided: racial encounters, segregation, discrimination, street wars, financial barriers, domestic disputes and so much more. Then we’ll transition to the mindset of an entrepreneur. “See, I was raised in the sour apple, where I’ve savored my bitter share. So, prepare to receive a real-life account of how various negative pieces can be gathered and repaired. Prepare to be encouraged. This is my life… Kwame King

Time: the not too distant future. Place: a small island in the temperate zone. Scene: air-force headquarters. Corporal Edwin Velder is on trial for his life--accused of acts against the military, government, and society.

Download or read book Dealing with the Devil s Deal written by L. Hurley Ankeny and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-02-28 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cocaine production, demand and sales has become an increasing problem in the Western Hemisphere. Motivation to purchase this narcotic by dealers, despite its high prices, and their capability to get the processed product to eager end buyers, has caused a high volume of illegal trafficking. Mexico, in particular, has been deluged by a severe intensive drug war. Because of the many deaths resulting from this conflict, that county now maintains the unenviable position as the number one nation in our hemisphere attempting to cope with severe cocaine problems. The nation of Colombia experienced this highly undesirable situation back in tee 19905. Pablo Escobar, that country's drug king, became 50 powerful, that at times he virtually ruled the nation. But this power eventually became his undoing. Right-wing opponents from the Las Pepes death squads killed him in 1993. Although, Colombia became more stable after that occurrence, a left wing organization emerged to take on the right's counter activities. They are known as the Farqs, They are still able to maintain a hold on the power involved with cocaine. Concerning DEALING WITH THE DEVIL, Jack Broderick, the CIA station Chief in Peru, earns his keep by impeding the drug influences mentioned above. He does an amazing job by enlisting a hard boiled agent, Brian Koltai, from the U.S. Together, they prevent another costly war from occurring in the Andes like the one that had taken place twenty years earlier.

Download or read book The Man Who Ran Washington written by Peter Baker and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2021-09-07 with total page 737 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The New York Times • The Washington Post • Fortune • Bloomberg From two of America's most revered political journalists comes the definitive biography of legendary White House chief of staff and secretary of state James A. Baker III: the man who ran Washington when Washington ran the world. For a quarter century, from the end of Watergate to the aftermath of the Cold War, no Republican won the presidency or ran the White House without the advice of James Addison Baker III. A scion of Texas aristocracy who became George H. W. Bush’s tennis partner, Baker had never worked in Washington until a devastating family tragedy struck when he was thirty-nine. Within a few years, he was leading Gerald Ford’s campaign and would go on to manage a total of five presidential races and win a sixth for George W. Bush in a Florida recount. He ran Ronald Reagan’s White House and became the most consequential secretary of state since Henry Kissinger. Ruthlessly partisan during campaign season, Baker became an indispensable dealmaker after the election. He negotiated with Democrats at home and Soviets abroad, rewrote the tax code, assembled the coalition that won the Gulf War, brokered the reunification of Germany, and helped bring a decades-long nuclear superpower standoff to an end. Brilliantly crafted by Peter Baker of The New York Times and Susan Glasser of The New Yorker, The Man Who Ran Washington is a page-turning study in the acquisition, exercise, and preservation of power in late twentieth-century America and the story of Washington when Washington ran the world. Their masterly biography is necessary reading and destined to become a classic.
