Books
Averell “Ace” Smith
Praise from the Wall Street Journal:
“This short, action-packed narrative illuminates one of those footnotes that dot the history of the game but are seldom explored in depth. Here the footnote explodes with unexpected vitality.”
Victoria Lamont
Review from Canadian Literature:
“A compelling page-turner of an academic text which provides a feminist counter-narrative about the development of the popular Western.”
The Woman Who Fought an Empire
Gregory J. Wallance
Praise from Signature:
“Wallance paints a portrait of a complex woman who performed heroic work during difficult times. For those looking for a book about espionage that has real human lives at stake, this little-known story is a tremendous read.”
Frank Ruda
Review in Marx & Philosophy:
“Frank Ruda’s Abolishing Freedom is both philosophically and stylistically daring.”
Susan Falls
Review from Allegra Laboratory:
“A book for reference, a possible warning, a promotion of more social interactions between people based on sharing human milk and, certainly, stimulating for thought and research.”
Tom Carhart
Review from Strategy Page:
“An amusing yet informative tale, which makes for good reading, and tells us something about how Army officers are made.”
