Glenn Beck, the New York Times bestselling author of The Great
Reset, revisits Thomas Paine's Common Sense. In any era, great
Americans inspire us to reach our full potential. They know with
conviction what they believe within themselves. They understand
that all actions have consequences. And they find commonsense
solutions to the nation's problems. One such American, Thomas
Paine, was an ordinary man who changed the course of history by
penning Common Sense, the concise 1776 masterpiece in which,
through extraordinarily straightforward and indisputable arguments,
he encouraged his fellow citizens to take control of America's
future-and, ultimately, her freedom. Nearly two and a half
centuries later, those very freedoms once again hang in the
balance. And now, Glenn Beck revisits Paine's powerful treatise
with one purpose: to galvanize Americans to see past government's
easy solutions, two-party monopoly, and illogical methods and take
back our great country.

​This book provides a new military history of Byzantine emperor
Alexios I Komnenos's campaigns in the Balkans, during the first
fourteen years of his rule. While the tactics and manoeuvres
Alexios used against Robert Guiscard's Normans are relatively
well-known, his strategy in dealing with Pecheneg and Cuman
adversaries in the region has received less attention in historical
scholarship. This book provides a much-need synthesis of these
three closely linked campaigns – often treated as discrete events
– revealing a surprising coherence in Alexios' response, and
explores the position of Byzantium's army and navy on the eve of
the First Crusade.Â
