SPLINTER: Rhodesia's Lake War aims to fill a gap in the record of the 1970s Rhodesian Bush War. Related partly in participants' own words, it is the first written account of the history and operations of the waterborne units of the Rhodesian Corps of Engineers and the British South Africa Police. From the early days of the war, both these units patrolled the strategically important Zambezi River and Lake Kariba - the world's largest man-made lake by volume. But it was the establishment in 1977 of Operation Splinter, a separate operational area covering the lake and the immediate upstream portion of the Zambezi, along with the upgrade of the Engineers Boat Troop to Squadron status, which allowed the first fully coordinated defence of this part of the hostile border. As a result, for the last two years of the war, the entire length of Lake Kariba was completely sealed off from incursions by insurgents. SPLINTER describes how the Boat Squadron expanded from a purely defensive to an offensive role, and the part it played in support of certain external operations of the Rhodesian SAS.

Jesus is the most influential person in the history of the world. His early followers shaped Western Civilization, and over two billion people worship him around the world. However, today many people continue to entertain distorted portraits of Jesus that are repackaged and propagated over and over again in our modern, pop-culture world.Jesus Christ provides you with the opportunity to discover the true life and teachings of Jesus. It is a popular and easily accessible novel presentation of a chronological harmony of the Gospels. There is nothing you read in Jesus Christ that is made-up or a creative invention. A chronological harmony of the Gospels is a single, merged narrative of the life and teaching of Jesus from the common and diverse material recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Although a harmony of the four Gospels cannot be created with absolute certainty, the Jesus Christ harmony is based on years of detailed research.

The United States of America has had many presidents that Americans agree were either great or awful, while some fall into a mediocre category of irrelevance. In many cases a national consensus has been reached on men like Abraham Lincoln and James Buchanan. But the president with the most controversial legacy might be "Old Hickory", Andrew Jackson. In his lifetime, Jackson came to represent what middle class Americans viewed as the quintessential American. Jackson had a modest upbringing, served as a teenager during the American Revolution, became a war hero during the War of 1812, and championed populism and the common American during his presidency. He also embodied courage and manliness, famously carrying a bullet from a duel in his body for decades until his death. On the other hand, critics continue to charge that Jackson's legacy is irreversibly stained by his stances on slavery and Native Americans. Jackson opposed the idea of secession but helped keep the antebellum slave system in place, but he is most notorious for his forcible removal of thousands of Native Americans, the best known being the Cherokees' "Trail of Tears". When the Supreme Court ruled that the state of Georgia could not impose laws upon the Cherokees, Jackson is popularly quoted (though apocryphally) as dismissing the decision, "John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it." With Jackson as controversial today as ever before, the dueling narratives over his legacy often overshadow the man.

""State Papers On Nullification"" is a historical document that includes the public acts of the Convention of the People of South Carolina, held on November 19, 1832. The book is authored by Andrew Jackson, the seventh President of the United States, and was published in 1834. The text is a collection of official documents and speeches that detail the Nullification Crisis, a political conflict that arose in the United States in the early 1830s. The crisis centered on the issue of states' rights and the power of the federal government. South Carolina, led by its governor, John C. Calhoun, believed that states had the right to nullify federal laws that they deemed unconstitutional. This position was fiercely opposed by Jackson, who argued that the Constitution gave the federal government ultimate authority in matters of law. The book provides an in-depth look at the arguments and positions taken by both sides, as well as the events that led up to the crisis. It is an important historical document that sheds light on a pivotal moment in American history and the ongoing debate over states' rights and federal power.Including The Public Acts Of The Convention Of The People Of South Carolina, Assembled At Columbia, November 19, 1832, And March 11, 1833, The Proclamation Of The President Of The United States, And The Proceedings Of The Several State Legislatures Which Have Acted On The Subject.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Why would anyone in the sunset of life attempt not one but two published books? In two words, strong motivation. Free My Son was published in 2020, the title reveals the first very strong motivation! The second, God Bless America, reveals one of the similar motivations. The title could have the subtitle Save the American Republic!This old author encourages young and old alike with motivation to tell your story and just give it a go, as our UK friends would say! In the first book, Almighty God has blessed both father and son in unique ways to make each day filled with purpose, for he is a God of purpose. In 2016, the author mistakenly described the Democrat Party (not Democratic) as a party of obstractionist. This is far short of Marxism with the silent coup of Hillary Clinton and the fake dossier on Donald Trump. Trump's telephone was tapped before, during, and after the 2016 election. With the insistence and investigations of Trump's followers, President Trump survived and the American Republic survived! Praise God!Why was Clinton not investigated? Politicization of the Justice department. After the rigged election of 2020, the forty-sixth president, Biden, quickly started to destroy the great achievements of Trump. Forty-five would have never withdrawn from Afghanistan in the disorderly way of the Biden administration!Forward to February 2022 and the Russian attack on its neighbor Ukraine. Why did Russian president do it? Quite possibly because of a decision by the Obama-Biden administration in 2014 did little to stop the Russian takeover of Ukrainian sea port of the Crimea.In summary, the author is most concerned about the military threat to Taiwan and the US and its allies! The people of Ukraine have received the respect of the free world (except China) for its bravery! In the near future, the interval threat to the American Republic of free speech and liberty is very high! Will disinformation be the focus of Democrats on its conservative opposition? Possibility is affirmative! Will the focus of Marxist Democrats be on the repeated narrative (propaganda) of its liberal press be a major focus? Probably yes.In any event, the author requests sincere and urgent prayer to Almighty God to save the American Republic now and until just before the Second Coming of Jesus Christ! Please vote in every election in person and at the polls and assigned voting places. The Marxists do not truly want free and honest elections. President Jimmy Carter would want free and honest elections in the future! We have a responsibility to protect and preserve our two-and-a-half century American Republic!In any event, here's a message to all parents: Please encourage the need for spiritual Judeo-Christian values. These values are as important or more so, than experimenting with any illegal drugs for recreation. Why? Fentanyl is lethal many, many more times even on the first dose than legal or illegal drugs. For example, one dose of Fentanyl can kill instantly!Parents, love your children and take charge like never before! Thank you! Ps, please consider to fight against getting chipped! If you do not fight, we will have a nation of robots because of a possible loss of freedom and liberty. Embedding microchips in our pets has been on going in order to find them when lost.
The Late and Post-Dictatorship Cinephilia Boom and Art Houses in South Korea examines the growth of art film exhibition, consumption, and cinephilia during 1985-1997. This moment of heightened interest in art film altered how many Koreans conceptualised cinema and helped pave the way for the critical success of South Korean film. In this historical study, Jackson analyses the cultural, political, social, and economic developments of the post-1985 period that generated an increased interest in European art film. He considers the interactions of art house exhibitors with cinephile audiences, the media and the state-level administrators responsible for governing the industry. The aim of young cinephiles was nothing less than a bottom-up cultural transformation of a society emerging from three decades of dictatorship. Based on the previously unheard voices of audiences who participated in the cinephilia, Jackson's work is a history of Korean cinema and an investigation of the impact of this cultural renewal period on the industry. Andrew David Jackson is an Associate Professor, Convenor of Korean Studies and Director of the Monash University Korean Studies Research Hub at Monash University, Melbourne.
