While at home in England and at his emotional lowest; King, fellow agent and archaeologist, came. Charles was startled when he was informed that research in Bible lands had disclosed an incredible conclusion. That famous old book, The Bible, is in reality—accurate world history! Charles, jolted, “Why! That's impossible; the Bible is an old religious book that practically nobody pays any attention to.” But, he had been shaken out of his lethargy. His drive, now, was to research King's unbelievable assertion; which drive launched the production of The Sharp Sword. Personal opinion, pride, are cast aside. Could God exist? Could God be the source of this incredible work? Can it answer our most imposing questions? The life and times of Charles takes a drastic turn for the best as he sharply researches the Bible.

Book excerpt: Charles and King have been convinced that their purpose in life now was more important than their past endeavors to bring peace and safety to the world. Those adventures have been vividly told in our previous three publications. Please see the Preface. It had been a year since the publishing of their third book—The Sharp Sword. The accurate research contained therein sharply concluded: that most ancient book in the world, The Bible—all though written by men, must have been inspired by God. Now in this publication, Confrontation, it was found that The Sharp Sword had been having a wide circulation. Organizations had been requesting more information and personal interviews: religious organizations inquired; philosophic groups; atheistic and agnostic believers; even a mythological society had responded. Therefore Confrontation with the world’s religious-philosophic communities became their determination. Their conclusions were of earthshaking importance. They were confident that the Bible clearly discloses God’s purpose in creating and also his activity throughout history and down to this eventful period in which we live. Can these conclusions be true—really? An academic delving into the Bible’s contents; a non emotional, non prejudiced study uncovers real reality which overrides the present superficial reality is that smothering daily life.

Book excerpt: The March of World Powers through history . . . Marionettes—a relationship. . ? The author deals with the age-long and futile efforts of world powers; their terrible failure is intriguingly examined. The supposed purpose of world governments: Govern so as to produce a secure and peaceful world. The quandary: Intelligent, well-educated people govern; they are the best and wisest available—they have all failed. How is it possible? Over and over again, century after century—worse and worse failure to bring the desired peace and security. Why. . ? That question: All types of governments have existed and passed out of existence. The question is forced upon us: if those that govern have all of the qualifications necessary to produce peace and security why do they fail? Aren’t they powerful enough? It causes one to wonder; could there be some opposing forces more powerful than they are? The answer: Can historical facts show that the world’s leaders are being blinded and handled as mere puppets helplessly pulled here and there, up and down, all to the tune of invisible masters high above the earthly scene? Wow! In regard to this, only a “partial reality” is being seen. In this, the author reveals a notorious deception—the “complete reality” has been hidden. Therefore, we examine and throw off, unveil a great and blinding charade. You are invited to join the author and together examine the bountiful evidence. You will consider facts, historical, scientific and biblical. Dear Fellow Researcher, personal opinions, desires, prejudice are left as unwanted outside. Marionettes--The March of World Powers

Download or read book The Spy Who Loved written by Clare Mulley and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2013-06-11 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Untold Story of Britain's First Female Special Agent of World War II In June 1952, a woman was murdered by an obsessed colleague in a hotel in the South Kensington district of London. Her name was Christine Granville. That she died young was perhaps unsurprising; that she had survived the Second World War was remarkable. The daughter of a feckless Polish aristocrat and his wealthy Jewish wife, Granville would become one of Britain's most daring and highly decorated special agents. Having fled to Britain on the outbreak of war, she was recruited by the intelligence services and took on mission after mission. She skied over the hazardous High Tatras into occupied Poland, served in Egypt and North Africa, and was later parachuted behind enemy lines into France, where an agent's life expectancy was only six weeks. Her courage, quick wit, and determination won her release from arrest more than once, and saved the lives of several fellow officers—including one of her many lovers—just hours before their execution by the Gestapo. More importantly, the intelligence she gathered in her espionage was a significant contribution to the Allied war effort, and she was awarded the George Medal, the OBE, and the Croix de Guerre. Granville exercised a mesmeric power on those who knew her. In The Spy Who Loved, acclaimed biographer Clare Mulley tells the extraordinary history of this charismatic, difficult, fearless, and altogether extraordinary woman.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book: This is the peculiar title of a book that is making something of a literary sensation. This brilliant study of the betrayal and extinction of Jacobitism has triumphantly solved a mystery which once baffled all Europe. History has so far sought in vain to follow the wanderings and intrigues of Prince Charles Edward, the Young Pretender, after his expulsion from France in the last days of 1748. "From this time forward," says Lord Stanhope, writing of the time when the Prince quitted Avignon early in 1749, "his proceedings during many years are wrapped in mystery; all his correspondence passed through the hands of Mr. Walters"-—according to Mr. Lang the name should be Waters—"his banker at Paris, even his warmest partisans were seldom made acquainted with his place of abode, and though he still continued to write to his father at intervals, his letters were never dated. Neither friends nor enemies at that time could obtain any certain information of his movements or designs. Now, however, it is known that he visited Venice and Germany, that he resided secretly for some time at Paris, that he undertook a mysterious journey to England in 1750, and perhaps another in 1752 or 1753; but his principal residence was in the territory of his friend the Dukede Bouillon, where, surrounded by the wide and lonely forest of Ardennes, his active spirit sought in the dangerous chase of boars and wolves an image of the warlike enterprise which was denied him. It was not till the death of his father in 1766 that he returned to Rome and became reconciled to his brother. But his character had darkened with his fortunes." By a patient study of documents still preserved in the British Museum, the Royal Library at Windsor, and elsewhere, and still for the most part unpublished, and by a laborious collation of these new materials with others more accessible, Mr. Lang has succeeded in amplifying, correcting, and supplementing, and in rendering both interesting and intelligible the very meagre information with which Lord Stanhope and other historians have been content. "By combining information," he says, "from these and other sources in print, manuscript, and tradition, we reach various results. We can now follow and understand the changes in the singular and wretched development of the character of Prince Charles Edward Stuart. We get a curious view of the manners and a lurid light on the diplomacy of the middle of the eighteenth century. Above all, we encounter an extraordinary personage, the great, highborn Highland chief who sold himself as a spy to the English Government. This book is annotated with a rare extensive biographical sketch of the author, Andrew Lang, written by Sir Edmund Gosse, CB, a contemporary poet and writer.

Book excerpt: THE latest rally of Jacobitism, with its last romance, so faded and so tarnished, has hitherto remained obscure. The facts on which 'Waverley' is based are familiar to all the world: those on which 'Redgauntlet' rests were but imperfectly known even to Sir Walter Scott. The story of the Forty-five is the tale of Highland loyalty: the story of 1750-1763 is the record of Highland treachery, or rather of the treachery of some Highlanders. That story, now for the first time to be told, is founded on documents never hither to published, or never previously pieced together. The Additional Manuscripts of the British Museum, with relics of the government of Henry Pelham and his brother, the Duke of Newcastle, have yielded their secrets, and given the information of the spies. The Stuart Papers at Windsor partly published in Browne's 'History of the Highland Clans' and by Lord Stanhope, but mainly virginal of type fill up the interstices in the Pelham Papers like pieces in a mosaic, and reveal the general design. The letters of British ambassadors at Paris, Dresden, Berlin, Hanover, Leipzig, Florence, St. Petersburg, lend colour and coherence. The political correspondence of Frederick the Great contributes to the effect. A trifle of information comes from the French Foreign Office Archives; French printed 'Mémoires' and letters, neglected by previous English writers on the subject, offer some valuable, indeed essential, hints, and illustrate Charles's relations with the wits and beauties of the reign of Louis XV. By combining information from these and other sources in print, manuscript, and tradition, we reach various results. We can now follow and understand the changes in the singular and wretched development of the character of Prince Charles Edward Stuart. We get a curious view of the manners, and a lurid light on the diplomacy of the middle of the eighteenth century. We go behind the scenes of many conspiracies. Above all, we encounter an extraordinary personage, the great, highborn Highland chief who sold himself as a spy to the English Government.

Download or read book The Archaeologist was a Spy written by Charles Houston Harris and published by UNM Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sylvanus G Morley (1883-1948) is widely known as an influential Mayan archaeologist. This intriguing book shows that he was arguably the greatest American spy of World War I. Morley came to the attention of the Office of Naval Intelligence in 1916, when reports that German agents were establishing a Central American base for submarine warfare first surfaced. Morley's field research provided the ideal cover for reconnoitring throughout the region. He made several extended research/intelligence-gathering trips along the Caribbean coast of Central America starting in 1917 and forwarded detailed reports and maps to ONI. While he found no noteworthy German activity, his activities permit the authors of this book to reconstruct the way ONI identified, recruited, placed, and debriefed field agents, nearly 150 of whom, many with academic ties, were funnelling data to ONI by the close of World War I. In a final chapter, Sadler and Harris extend the story of academic participation in intelligence work through the 1930s into the founding of 'Wild Bill' Donovan's Office of Strategic Services (OSS) at the beginning of World War II.
