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.

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.

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.
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.
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.

services in the world's greatest city. Subjects include driver
training and driving, designing liveries for London, the voice of
bus announcements, the Tendered Bus Unit, Smart ticketing, bus
control, bus stops, low-floor buses, operating the Sightseeing
Tour, London buses and the Olympics, mapping London bus routes,
