The Third Reich RII is a two volume book, the first of which is a comprhensive account of Adolf Hitler's rise to power within Germany. The book focuses on the psychological nature of humans operating within close perceptual proximity and in terms of contentment. Many subject areas are covered in the first volume including economics, politics, history, psychology, and even genetics. The book is very thought provoking as it requires the reader to ultimately contemplate their own psychological mannerisms.

In 1941, Winston Churchill realized that if the Allies were to win the war, a new type of ship needed to be designed and constructed. A ship that could land directly on the beaches of Africa and Europe and discharge troops and equipment. This ship became the Landing Ship, Tank or LST. But the United States was already at war and there was a shortage of men in the shipyards. It was the women that went to the shipyards and built the LSTs. These women were not riveters - they were welders. These are the stories, remembered 60 years later, of the women welders who built the LSTs and the men who sailed on them.

For decades America’s children have spent years in Public Schools being spoon-fed pro-government propaganda, blind patriotism, racism, and sexism. In twelve powerful chapters, the author explores the lies and propaganda that are being taught as fact in our public schools and provides examples of the true history of America. He explains why many of the world’s historians consider Christopher Columbus the “Proto-Nazi” and Andrew Jackson is considered the “Father of Ethnic Cleansing”. He explores presidential history and demonstrates how some of our most beloved Presidents misled the people and shows how our ignorance is allowing history to repeat itself.

Brett Mitchell

She lived alone on the heights that overlooked the city. Her neighbors called her 'tetched'. She was tortured by bandits seeking a hidden treasure buried in the walls of her home. She killed a mad man with a Winchester .32 whose love lust turned into a fanatic infatuation. She wore wide brimmed hats decorated with fresh flowers, a long yellow taffeta with a trailing train, and lacey gloves revealing her worthless gems all the while shaking her fist and lashing out at those who dared to glance her way. She conversed with only those she thought worthy and talked to dogs and her guard horse as though they were her friends. Though she was made famous by Pulitzer-Prize winning novelist and distant relative, Louis Bromfield it was simply the life she led that would ultimately create a legend of Phoebe Wise. Her life seemed surreal and her stories are what fiction is made of. Yet, her life was anything but fiction.
