Book Description
Slocum squares off with a low-down lawman! Her name is Bob—short for Roberta—and when her brother gets framed for stealing horses, it’s up to her to be the man of the ranch. But when a no-good deputy wants control of the land, he hurts her bad. That’s when a drifter named Slocum arrives on the scene. Now Slocum’s teaching the lawman a lesson in justice—and showing Roberta how it feels to be treated like a woman…

Book Description
Slocum’s outnumbered and outgunned—but that’s just his idea of a good fight! Slocum’s already dodged a woman who wants his head in a sack when he hooks up with a lovely widow in a town bullied by bandits. Their leader, Reyas, uses peasants as slave labor, takes any woman he desires, and tortures and kills anyone who displeases him. So where does some upstart gringo get off coming along and giving him orders? It’s really not Slocum’s fight—but he never did learn to avoid trouble. He’s going to show Reyas that it’s one thing to push around harmless country folk—and another to face a tough pistolero who’s shooting back.

Book Description
"Anyone who wants to understand why America has permanently entered a new era in international relations must read [this book] . . . Vividly written and thoroughly researched." -- Los Angeles Times America's "small wars," "imperial war," or, as the Pentagon now terms them, "low-intensity conflicts," have played an essential but little-appreciated role in its growth as a world power. Beginning with Jefferson's expedition against the Barbary pirates, Max Boot tells the exciting stories of our sometimes minor but often bloody landings in Samoa, the Philippines, China, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Mexico, Russia, and elsewhere. Along the way he sketches colorful portraits of little-known military heroes such as Stephen Decatur, "Fighting Fred" Funston, and Smedly Butler. This revised and updated edition of Boot's compellingly readable history of the forgotten wars that helped promote America's rise in the lst two centuries includes a wealth of new material, including a chapter on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and a new afterword on the lessons of the post-9/11 world.

Book Description
Since the beginning of television, Westerns have been playing on the small screen. From the mid-1950s until the early 1960s, they were one of TV's most popular genres, with millions of viewers tuning in to such popular shows as Rawhide, Gunsmoke, and Disney's Davy Crockett. Though the cultural revolution of the later 1960s contributed to the demise of traditional Western programs, the Western never actually disappeared from TV. Instead, it took on new forms, such as the highly popular Lonesome Dove and Deadwood, while exploring the lives of characters who never before had a starring role, including anti-heroes, mountain men, farmers, Native and African Americans, Latinos, and women. Shooting Stars of the Small Screen is a comprehensive encyclopedia of more than 450 actors who received star billing or played a recurring character role in a TV Western series or a made-for-TV Western movie or miniseries from the late 1940s up to 2008. Douglas Brode covers the highlights of each actor's career, including Western movie work, if significant, to give a full sense of the actor's screen persona(s). Within the entries are discussions of scores of popular Western TV shows that explore how these programs both reflected and impacted the social world in which they aired. Brode opens the encyclopedia with a fascinating history of the TV Western that traces its roots in B Western movies, while also showing how TV Westerns developed their own unique storytelling conventions.
