Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
Inside Out: Rise of the Monarchy is the second volume of a fictional trilogy that addresses the assumption of power by elitist politicians to the exclusion of the electorate and their constitutionally guaranteed rights. The president and congress take action to stop those who elected them from demanding transparency and accountability within the constraints of the constitution. They believe that their actions are warranted and will make our country a better place to live. Patriots begin to protest and the president and congress abrogate the constitution and convert our system of government to that of a feudal system. The president demands to be called King or Your Majesty while referring to senators as lords and members of the house as feudal district managers. Military commanders are replaced and even executed to bring the military into conformance with the new government. The enemy of the new government is conservatism despite the kings references to conservatives as domestic terrorists. Patriots led by headmasters Jeff and Ann of Castleway Academy begin the second revolutionary war to remove the king wannabe and restore the Constitution to the people. Inside Out: Rise of the Monarchy chronicles a president and his congress gone awry as they try to bring the country in line with their beliefs and expectations.

USS Missouri at War

ISBN: 1616732652
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 163
Book Description
An illustrated history of the wartime career of the USS Missouri from World War II to the Gulf War. On September 2, 1945, surrender ceremonies officially ending World War II were broadcast worldwide from the deck of the USS Missouri. The ceremony also marked the end of one of the most eventful years for any vessel in the history of warfare. USS Missouri at War chronicles the career of this mighty warship, the last battleship built by the United States. Veteran naval historian Kit Bonner describes “Mighty Mo’s” powerful strikes against Japan, its support of the Iwo Jima landings and bombardment of Okinawa, and its decisive role in the destruction of key Japanese industrial targets. That war was over, but the Missouri was not done yet; and Bonner follows her service in the Korean War, her modernization and reactivation for the 1991 Gulf War, and her final decommissioning in 1992, with eleven battle stars to her credit. For its authoritative and close-up look at the life and work of a world-class battleship, and for its insight into the history of twentieth-century naval warfare, this strikingly illustrated book is one that no naval enthusiast or military history buff will want to be without.
