Luise White brings the force of her historical insight to bear on the many war memoirs published by white soldiers who fought for Rhodesia during the 1964–1979 Zimbabwean liberation struggle.
In the memoirs of white soldiers fighting to defend white minority rule in Africa long after other countries were independent, the author finds a robust and contentious conversation about race, difference, and the war itself. These are writings by men who were ambivalent conscripts, generally aware of the futility of their fight—not brutal pawns flawlessly executing the orders and parroting the rhetoric of a racist regime. Moreover, most of these men insisted that the most important aspects of fighting a guerrilla war—tracking and hunting, knowledge of the land and of the ways of African society—were learned from black playmates in idealized rural childhoods.
In these memoirs, African guerrillas never lost their association with the wild, even as white soldiers boasted of bringing Africans into the intimate spaces of regiment and regime.

A mind-blowing murder mystery on a ship full of magical passengers. If Agatha Christie wrote fantasy, this would be it!
To mark the thousandth year of peace in the Empire of Concordia, the emperor's ship embarks upon a twelve-day voyage. Aboard are the heirs of the twelve provinces of Concordia, each graced with a unique magical ability known as a Blessing.
Except one: Ganymedes Piscero.
When a beloved heir is murdered, everyone is a suspect. Stuck at sea and surrounded by powerful people, odds of survival are slim. But as the bodies pile higher, Ganymedes must become the hero he was not born to be and unmask the killer before he ends up the next victim of their bloody crusade.

_________________________________ Built of lightweight wood,
powered by two growling Rolls-Royce Merlin engines, impossibly
aerodynamic, headspinningly fast and armed to the teeth, the de
Havilland Mosquito was the war-winning wonder that should never
have existed: the aircraft the RAF didn't think it wanted then
couldn't do without. Flying on operations barely eighteen months
after a single prototype was ordered off the drawing board, it was
the answer to its pilots' prayers: a stunningly versatile warplane
capable of leaving the Luftwaffe in its wake to attack when and
where the enemy was least expecting it. Excelling as a spyplane,
night-fighter and pathfinder for Bomber Command's heavies the
Mossie's reputation was cemented by a series of daredevil bombing
raids across occupied Europe, including on Berlin itself, where
only surprise, speed and precision could ensure success. So when
Churchill's top secret Special Operations Executive needed to
destroy the Gestapo HQ in the centre of downtown Copenhagen to
prevent a devastating Nazi last stand that might prolong the war
for many months, there was only one machine for the job - the
Mosquito. This is the story of that legendary aircraft told through
that one impossible mission. Like Rowland White's previous books,
Mosquito is an unputdownable mix of utterly compelling
storytelling, incredible human stories and fascinating
technological detail, which sheds never-before-told light on a
pivotal mission that helped bring the war to its bloody and brutal
close.

Oppaymolleah's curse. General Braddock's buried gold. The Original
Man of Steel, Joe Magarac. Such legends have found a home among the
rich folklore of Western Pennsylvania. Thomas White spins a
beguiling yarn with tales that reach from the misty hollows of the
Alleghenies to the lost islands of Pittsburgh. White invites
readers to learn the truth behind the urban legend of the Green
Man, speculate on the conspiracy surrounding the lost B-25 bomber
of Monongahela and shiver over the ghostly lore of Western
Pennsylvania.
Violent bank heists, bold train robberies and hardened gangs all
tear across the history of the wild west--western Pennsylvania,
that is. The region played reluctant host to the likes of the
infamous Biddle Boys, who escaped Allegheny County Jail by
romancing the warden's wife, and the Cooley Gang, which held
Fayette County in its violent grip at the close of the nineteenth
century. Then there was Pennsylvania's own Bonnie and Clyde--Irene
and Glenn--whose murderous misadventures earned the "trigger
blonde" and her beau the electric chair in 1931. From the perilous
train tracks of Erie to the gritty streets of Pittsburgh, authors
Thomas White and Michael Hassett trace the dark history of the
crooks, murderers and outlaws who both terrorized and fascinated
the citizenry of western Pennsylvania.
Leonidas Polk is one of the most fascinating figures of the Civil
War. Consecrated as a bishop of the Episcopal Church and
commissioned as a general into the Confederate army, Polk's life in
both spheres blended into a unique historical composite. Polk was a
man with deep religious convictions but equally committed to the
Confederate cause. He baptized soldiers on the eve of bloody
battles, administered last rites and even presided over officers'
weddings, all while leading his soldiers into battle. Historian
Cheryl White examines the life of this soldier-saint and the legacy
of a man who unquestionably brought the first viable and lively
Protestant presence to Louisiana and yet represents the politics of
one of the darkest periods in American history.
The once-thriving houseboat communities along Arkansas' White River
are long gone, and few remember the sensational murder story that
set local darling Helen Spence on a tragic path. In 1931, Spence
shocked Arkansas when she avenged her father's murder in a DeWitt
courtroom. The state soon discovered that no prison could hold her.
For the first time, prison records are unveiled to provide an
essential portrait. Join author Denise Parkinson for an intimate
look at a Depression-era tragedy. The legend of Helen Spence
refuses to be forgotten--despite her unmarked grave.
