This 80 page book gives a brief, but full, history of the Pentrich Revolution. Illustrated with contemporary prints and modern photographs of key locations it tells the fascinating tale of how, on a wet night in June, 1817, a few hundred poorly-armed Derbyshire villagers set out to overthrow the British government. Inspired by the words of Tom Paine and driven by unemployment and hunger, they left the villages round Pentrich to join thousands of others wrongly supposed to be converging on Nottingham. After marching just thirteen miles, they were routed and scattered by a small detachment of dragoons; their rebellion was over. Most of the nation was disgusted to learn that Oliver, a spy employed by the Home Secretary Lord Sidmouth, had duped them into believing they were a small part of a nation-wide rising. Sadly for the Derbyshire rebels, they were on their own and many of them were to become the first 'commoners' to face the charge of High Treason. Their leader Jeremiah Brandreth and two others were hanged and then beheaded; these were the last ever public beheadings in England. Fourteen more were transported to Australia, never to return. More would have been punished except the government colluded with the prisoners' defence lawyers who did not present evidence of the machinations of the paid spy, Oliver. Jermiah Brandreth, also known as 'The Nottingham Captain' remains an enigmatic figure, even today. Widely portrayed by earlier writers as an unintelligent and brutal figure, recent research reveals him to have been a highly intelligent and courageous individual who bore imprisonment, trial and execution with a stoic dignity that impressed friend and foe alike. Illustrated with contemporary prints and including documents long locked away in Home office files, book offers a brief, readable account of the Derbyshire Rising and points the reader in the direction of further research. Suitably annotated, it gives a close-up view of a fascinating and significant event in British history that few people have even heard of. Fifteen years after The Pentrich Revolution, The Great Reform Act of 1832 began the process of giving many more people a voice in electing governments. Much of what the Derbyshire rebels demanded would be achieved within the next century. As the 200th anniversary approaches, the events of June 1817 are largely unknown and their charismatic hero, Jeremiah Brandreth, remains an enigma. This brief history is an attempt to bring the story of the last armed rebellion in England to the attention of a wider audience.

England in 1817 was a place where many suffered great hardships under a notoriously oppressive government. Life was often brief and brutal. The economy was depressed, unemployment high and the harvest the poorest in living memory. Unscrupulous manufacturers and merchants were destroying a heritage of craftsmanship and replacing it with factories and mills that mass-produced poor quality goods. Women and children worked endless hours for starvation wages while skilled men were unemployed. Petitions from all over the country begged the government to provide relief for the thousands who were unable to earn enough to feed themselves, but these were rejected out of hand. In contrast, the decadence and excess of the court of The Prince Regent provoked widespread disgust. Everywhere there was talk of reform and a mood of rebellion swept across Britain. In the midst of this turmoil, a small dark-haired man was brought to a Derbyshire Inn and introduced to the villagers assembled there as "The Nottingham Captain". He had come to lead them as part of a national rising against the British government. His name was Jeremiah Brandreth and he spoke with charismatic passion and a deep sincerity that awed his listeners, convincing them to embark on a great and dangerous adventure that would change the destiny of all of them forever. His gospel was drawn from the works of Tom Paine and he promised a revolution like that which had founded the United States and overthrown the French monarchy. A few days later several hundred poorly-armed men followed him in attempt to capture Nottingham Castle, an event known today as 'The Pentrich Revolution'. Opposing the rebels was the government of Lord Liverpool, determined to fight to retain the supremacy of the aristocracy. The devious and ruthless Home Secretary, Lord Sidmouth ran a network of secret agents and paid informers and was prepared to use all necessary force to deal with disaffection. Based closely upon the actual events this non-fiction novel tells the almost unknown story of the 1817 Derbyshire Rising from the point of view of the people involved. It is a tale of comradeship and betrayal, principles and politics, demagogues and spies, heroes and villains. In the middle of it all is a man of mystery who refused to talk about his origins or why he embarked upon his wild adventure. Only recently has the identity of "The Nottingham Captain" been established and there is much about his story that remains a matter for speculation. From the cover of the book, sketched by a contemporary journalist, 'The Nottingham Captain' gazes serenely through the fading pages of history. He is the epitome of the enigmatic revolutionary whose courage and fortitude won admiration and respect, even from many of those who opposed him. In 2017 we celebrate the 200th anniversary of The Pentrich revolution, when Derbyshire villagers rose up under the leadership of Jeremiah Brandreth, "The Nottingham Captain". It is time to tell their story.

End the Con: A Plan to Take Back Our America represents a set of ideas and actions needed if we are to better America today and preserve the country into the future. Driven by four key beliefs: Nationalism - that government should serve our people, Populism - that the desires of the people should matter, Traditionalism - that government should defend our identity and heritage, and Realism - government must deal with real problems by offering solutions which will work, Kawczynski puts out the platform needed to recover America.Calling out corruption at every level, in both parties, and in the corrupt consensus that has run Washington, DC into the ground, Tom does not shy from controversial conversations and bold solutions. Leaving the Middle East to focus on our security, shutting down immigration altogether so we can integrate the people already here, and ending the Federal Reserve to return money to the US Treasury offer just the first taste of ideas included within. It is the campaign nobody else will consider because of the influence of donors and media, but which so many Americans know is necessary to take back our government for our people.
