Two sets of rules for playing American Civil War games with
miniatures have been combined into one publication called: Some
Wore Blue and Some Wore Gray. These rules are being offered to
miniature wargamers of all levels of experience, to other types of
gamers and to the general public. Experienced miniature wargamers,
being either amateur or professional history buffs, will appreciate
a set of rules which not only evolved from rules from the "Golden
Age" of miniature wargaming (1955 to 1975) but still maintain both
the flavor and the feel of that era. It is hoped that such a set of
rules could induce other types of gamers and the general public to
try miniature wargaming.
Interview with History: The JFK Assassination looks behind the
scenes at some of the most shocking and horrific things going on
here in America starting with the daytime assassination of
President John F. Kennedy and the implications it serves up to the
citizens of a "free country." The author, Pamela Ray, along with
James Files, former CIA/Mob hit man, the infamous "grassy knoll
shooter" explore the truths behind some basic questions still
lingering decades after the JFK assassination: Why was President
Kennedy killed? Who benefited? Who had the power to cover it up?
And more specifically. Did Lee Harvey Oswald spend time with James
Files the week before November 22, 1963? Why? Did Files and Oswald
have the same CIA controller, David A. Phillips? Was there a
military and CIA presence in Dealey Plaza when the fatal shots were
fired? What is the "Military-Industrial-Complex" and why were
American citizens warned about it by President Eisenhower in his
farewell address to the nation? Are some of the same players from
1963 involved in today's headlines? What does all this indicate?
These questions and more will be looked at as Ray and Files discuss
the events surrounding the fateful day in Dallas when "a whole new
form of government took over." During the course of Interview with
History, the authors delve into other related shadowy underworld
subjects where it is hard to tell where Organized Crime stops and
the CIA (and other U.S. government agencies) begin.
Finally -- Everything All Self-Respecting Men Must Know About Beer
& Life Beer -- man's other best friend. The kind of best friend
you don't have to walk, and only occasionally have to clean up
after. Written with provocative, unpretentious wit, The Man Show On
Tap: A Guide to All Things Beer examines beer as it relates to all
the situations men encounter in their daily lives. In addition to
practical tips like opening a bottle without a church key or
concocting a surefire hangover cure, Man Show veteran Ray James
includes party survival tips, drinking games, the truth according
to the Juggies, Man-o-vations, mating rituals, and more. With its
unapologetic look at all things manly, The Man Show On Tap is a
hilarious examination of America's favorite social lubricant from
the producers of the lewdest, rudest, and sickest show on
television. Ziggy Sokky, Ziggy Sokky, Hoy, Hoy, Hoy

Originally published in 1958, "The Question" is the book that
opened the torture debate in France during Algeria's war of
independence and was the first book since the eighteenth century to
be banned by the French government for political reasons.
At the time of his arrest by French paratroopers during the
Battle of Algiers in June of 1957, Henri Alleg was a French
journalist who supported Algerian independence. He was interrogated
for one month. During this imprisonment, Alleg was questioned under
torture, with unbelievable brutality and sadism. "The Question" is
Alleg's profoundly moving account of that month and of his triumph
over his torturers. Jean-Paul Sartre's preface remains a relevant
commentary on the moral and political effects of torture on both
the victim and perpetrator.
This Bison Books edition marks the first time since 1958 that
"The Question" has been published in the United States. For this
edition Ellen Ray provides a foreword. James D. Le Sueur offers an
introduction.
