James D. Bulloch: Secret Agent and MasterMind
of the Confederate Navy
By Walter E. Wilson, Gary L. McKay
Price: $55.00
ORDER HERE

This is the first biography of the Confederacy's "most dangerous man" who was their secret agent in Europe during the American Civil War. He was a creative and honorable man who inspired his favorite nephew, Theodore Roosevelt, to learn and write about the Navy and move the USA to a prominent place on the world stage. It should be of interest to anyone interested in the American Civil War, history, intelligence operations, naval power, Theodore Roosevelt, the Lincoln assassination, or international relations.

It is carefully documented, with new relevations about Bulloch, his warships, blockade runners, intelligence operations, and his Roosevel relatives on practically every page. The authors use their personal experience in the shadowy world of intelligence to illuminate the nuances of a secret agent who always told the truth, but not the whole truth. A fun read. ~ This review is by, Texas Walt


Understanding Liberty
By Curtis Patranella
Price: $7.50
ORDER HERE

Too often we all fall into the trap of taking hearsay as gospel, gossip as truth, and misinformation as fact; not because we are stupid or lazy, but because we either wish to trust those who are delivering the information; the messenger is cloaked in authority; or perhaps the truth is too frightening to face. The reality is, most of what you learned about freedom, the Constitution, your rights, government, etc. is a lie. You have been raised on falsehoods, smoke and mirrors. "Understanding Liberty" seeks to blow away the smoke, lift the veil, and act as a guide to explain to anyone, of any background, and any level of political experience, exactly what true liberty means. It is time to wake up, take charge of your rights as a Human Being, and break the chains of those who seek to enslave you. "Understanding Liberty" is the first step on that journey.

AN INTELLECTUALLY BRACING NEW VOLUME ON AMERICA’S TRANSFORMATION AND THE CLASH BETWEEN CONSTITUTIONALISM AND UTOPIANISM—FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER LIBERTY & TYRANNY , MARK R. LEVIN

Hailed by Rush Limbaugh as “the most compelling defense of freedom for our time,” and “the necessary book of the Obama era” by The American Spectator, Mark R. Levin’s Liberty and Tyranny made the most persuasive case for conservatism and against statism in a generation. In this most crucial time, this leading conservative thinker explores the psychology, motivations, and history of the utopian movement, its architects, and its modern-day disciples—and how the individual and American society are being devoured by it.

Levin asks, what is this utopian force that both allures a free people and destroys them?

Lincoln's Wrath: Fierce Mobs, Brilliant Scoundrels and a President's Mission to Destroy the Press
By Neil Dahlstrom, Jeffrey Manber
List Price: $19.99
SWR/SHNV Price: $15.59
Order HERE

In the blistering summer of 1861, President Lincoln began pressuring and ordering the physical shutdown of any Northern newspaper that voiced opposition to the war. These attacks were sometimes carried out by soldiers, sometimes by angry mobs under cover of darkness. Either way, the effect was a complete dismantling of the free press.

In the midst stood publisher John Hodgson, an angry bigot so hated that a local newspaper gleefully reported his defeat in a bar fight. He was also firmly against Lincoln and the war--an opinion he expressed loudly through his newspaper.

When his press was destroyed, first by a mob, then by U.S. Marshals "upon authority of the President of the United States," Hodgson decided to take on the entire United States. Thus began a trial in which one small-town publisher risked imprisonment or worse, and the future of free speech hung in the balance.

Based on 10 years of original research, Lincoln's Wrath brings to life one of the most gripping, dramatic and unknown stories of U.S. history.

I ACTED FROM PRINCIPLE, DIARY OF DR. WILLIAM M. MCPHEETERS:
The Civil War (SIC) Diary of Dr. William M. McPheeters, Confederate Surgeon in the Trans-Mississippi
By UAMS
Price: $22.50
Order HERE

At the start of the Civil War (SIC), Dr. William McPheeters was a distinguished physician in St. Louis, conducting unprecedented public-health research, forging new medical standards, and organizing the state's first professional associations. But Missouri was a volatile border state. Under martial law, Union authorities kept close watch on known Confederate sympathizers. McPheeters was followed, arrested, threatened, and finally, in 1862, given an ultimatum: sign an oath of allegiance to the Union or go to federal prison. McPheeters "acted from principle" instead, fleeing by night to Confederate territory. He served as a surgeon under Gen. Sterling Price and his Missouri forces west of the Mississippi River, treating soldiers' diseases, malnutrition, and terrible battle wounds.

From almost the moment of his departure, the doctor kept a diary. It was a pocket-size notebook which he made by folding sheets of pale blue writing paper in half and in which he wrote in miniature with his steel pen. It is the first known daily account by a Confederate medical officer in the Trans-Mississippi Department. It also tells his wife's story, which included harassment by Federal military officials, imprisonment in St. Louis, and banishment from Missouri with the couple's two small children. The journal appears here in its complete and original form, exactly as the doctor first wrote it, with the addition of the editors' full annotation and vivid introductions to each section.
