An ominous shadow looms across America. The safety of every American is in peril. We watch our televisions at night as our leaders try to prevent international war, yet a more imminent danger lurks much closer to home–the private militia. In just a few years, groups of armed citizens have mushroomed across the country, uniting together around a common cause–hatred of the government–using propaganda, threats, and especially violence to further their objective. Trumpeting Waco and Ruby Ridge as their rallying cry, and anti-government rhetoric to mobilize supporters, these domestic terrorists threaten the security of every American.In this eye-opening look at the militia movement, Captain Robert L. Snow, a seasoned police officer and acclaimed author of STOPPING A STALKER, provides a chilling portrayal of the turmoil brewing across the nation, in cities and rural areas alike. As a cop he takes us behind the scenes where no one else can. Captain Snow paints a detailed portrait of what many believe to be the stereotypical militiaman–a disgruntled white, lower-class male, perhaps unemployed and dissatisfied with his lot in life, who blames the government for all his problems. Most shocking is when Snow exposes the truth behind who really belongs to these militias and serves as their leaders–everyone from high-ranking police officials to representatives from Congress! Finding camaraderie in numbers, militia members form tight-knit groups to thwart infiltrators and informants. We discover their adamant belief in conspiracy theories, their ill-conceived motives, and their paranoia. We investigate their extreme training tactics, use of illegal weapons, and survivalist credo.Leading us down the aisles at legal gun shows, Captain Snow reveals the astounding numbers and types of weapons easily available to the public. Moreover, we learn that, fearing a takeover by the New World Order–a supposed United Nations-led army conspiring with the U.S. military–militiamen are holing up in hidden shelters and compounds, stockpiling food and arms in preparation for the “invasion.” Certain that unmarked black helicopters patrol hidden enclaves and scour U.S. soil for militia activity, many militias and smaller cell groups–similar to Timothy McVeigh and his compatriots–have become openly aggressive against their perceived enemy, targeting federal buildings and well-trafficked sites.A newly propagated phenomenon of the past decade, the rise of the militia movement is poised to wreak havoc across the American landscape. FBI stand-offs, shoot-outs, collapsing buildings, and other images of death and destruction have already begun.
On Their Own Cover
On Their Own: Women Journalists and the American Experience in Vietnam (Hardcover)
List Price: $27.50
Our Price: $16.50 for 25 - 99 copies
You Save $11.00!

Over three hundred women, both print and broadcast journalists, were accredited to chronicle America’s activities in Vietnam. Many of those women won esteemed prizes for their reporting, including the Pulitzer, the Overseas Press Club Award, the George Polk Award, the National Book Award, and the Bancroft Prize for History. Tragically, several lost their lives covering the war, while others were wounded or taken prisoner. In this gripping narrative, veteran journalist Joyce Hoffmann tells the important yet largely unknown story of a central group of these female journalists, including Dickey Chapelle, Gloria Emerson, Kate Webb, and others. Each has a unique and deeply compelling tale to tell, and vivid portraits of their personal lives and professional triumphs are woven into the controversial details of America’s twenty-year entanglement in Southeast Asia.
Fleets Of World War II Cover
Fleets Of World War II: (Hardcover)
List Price: $35.00
Our Price: $21.00 for 25 - 99 copies
You Save $14.00!

For decades, the legions of World War II buffs interested in Allied and Axis naval history were limited to expensive, multi-volume works written for specialists. No longer will this be the case. Fleets of World War II, packed with data and illustrated throughout, is not a simple list of ships but a fascinating and often pungent appraisal of those ships and the fleets they served. Japan built the world's largest battleships with guns bigger than anything in the Allied arsenal-but was bigger in fact better? The British engaged in a wartime flurry of ship production-but did they build the ships they needed for victory? Fleets of World War II dispels the clutter, providing a straightforward appraisal that is nothing short of revelatory.A complete resource, the book includes every nation that took part in the war, along with the key neutrals. Each fleet is surveyed in totality, from the mighty battleships to the humble motor launches. The systematic, plain-English presentation makes for easy reference: nation by nation, ship by ship, with a multitude of details on design, strategy, and combat available nowhere else.
Xenophon's March Cover
Xenophon's March: Into The Lair Of The Persian Lion (Hardcover)
List Price: $35.00
Our Price: $21.00 for 25 - 99 copies
You Save $14.00!

The year is 403 B.C. The Athenian philosopher Xenophon finds himself with an army of Greeks marching to what is now Turkey. Their mission: to aid the Persian pretender Cyrus in a war against his brother Artaxerxes. At a great battle, Cyrus is killed and his army destroyed—except for the Greeks holding his right flank. Xenophon and the Greeks are now stranded in the heart of the Persian Empire, outnumbered a hundred to one. The story of Xenophon's march to escape the Persian noose is an intensely personal and human tale, replete with clashes of arms and desperate hardships. It is also the tale of two civilizations at mortal odds with each other. With their turbulent mix of anarchy and democracy, Xenophon's men resembled a mobile Greek city, cutting both a military and a cultural slash through the Persian Empire. Though Xenophon's journey would end badly, his experience in the East would prove invaluable for those who followed, for sixty years later, the Greeks would return to Persia under Alexander. John Prevas brings this epoch-shaping story to life with a compelling narrative vivified by his personal retracing of much of the route trod by Xenophon and his men in one of history's great adventures.
Tempest At Ox Hill Cover
Tempest At Ox Hill: The Battle Of Chantilly (Hardcover)
List Price: $37.50
Our Price: $22.50 for 25 - 99 copies
You Save $15.00!

Every Civil War buff has heard of the Battle of Chantilly, the bloody 1862 engagement fought in a driving rainstorm only twenty miles from Washington that claimed the lives of two of the Union's most promising generals. Yet few have known the full story of courage and human drama because no one has ever produced a lively and historically accurate account of the battle-until now. Tempest at Ox Hill compellingly evokes this pivotal battle of the war, in which the Union army faced annihilation after Robert E. Lee's overwhelming victory at Second Bull Run. At Chantilly, Virginia, on September 1, 1862, a small Union rearguard faced down some of Lee's best generals. The retreating main Union army, and Washington, were saved, but at a frightening human cost, including the deaths of two Union generals—the promising Isaac Stevens and the dashing Philip Kearny, a Mexican War veteran who had also served with Napoleon III's imperial guard. And around these two Union generals lay nearly twelve hundred American soldiers, both blue and gray, dead fighting for their chosen cause. Tempest at Ox Hill captures the moment, the courage, and the carnage unforgettably.
