Winner of the George Washington Prize Winner of the Barbara and David Zalaznick Book Prize in American History Winner of the Excellence in American History Book Award Winner of the Fraunces Tavern Museum Book Award From the bestselling author of the Liberation Trilogy comes the extraordinary first volume of his new trilogy about the American Revolution Rick Atkinson, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning An Army at Dawn and two other superb books about World War II, has long been admired for his deeply researched, stunningly vivid narrative histories. Now he turns his attention to a new war, and in the initial volume of the Revolution Trilogy he recounts the first twenty-one months of America’s violent war for independence. From the battles at Lexington and Concord in spring 1775 to those at Trenton and Princeton in winter 1777, American militiamen and then the ragged Continental Army take on the world’s most formidable fighting force. It is a gripping saga alive with astonishing characters: Henry Knox, the former bookseller with an uncanny understanding of artillery; Nathanael Greene, the blue-eyed bumpkin who becomes a brilliant battle captain; Benjamin Franklin, the self-made man who proves to be the wiliest of diplomats; George Washington, the commander in chief who learns the difficult art of leadership when the war seems all but lost. The story is also told from the British perspective, making the mortal conflict between the redcoats and the rebels all the more compelling. Full of riveting details and untold stories, The British Are Coming is a tale of heroes and knaves, of sacrifice and blunder, of redemption and profound suffering. Rick Atkinson has given stirring new life to the first act of our country’s creation drama.

People need a creed and a cause, and today millions of patriotic Americans are finding their voices. They say the best indicator of the future is history. How things have been can be a powerful signal of how they will be. But what will be our role in shaping the future for this country? In The Coming Revolution Dr Richard G. Lee powerfully explains that a new revolution is coming. It may be in the streets of our nation’s capitol—as we saw in Europe last year—or, better yet, in voting booths across America. Signs from our nation’s past and present ring out the truth: a second American revolution is near at hand. Using this country’s rich heritage of liberty and democracy as a roadmap toward where we could be headed, Dr. Lee brings thoughtful clarity to the ever-growing probability of such a revolution in America; illuminating the important reminder that the voices of every revolution have been—and always will be—the ordinary everyman. Discover how you can be a part of this country’s social, political, and moral reform and how faith in God serves as the one truth that can provide both individual and national guidance for America’s next revolution. “A powerful reminder about why America is great and worth fighting for.” —Lt. Colonel Oliver L. North, USMC (Ret.) “Within this book Dr. Richard Lee clearly reveals how the intolerable conditions being forced upon the American people by Washington’s current administration will lead to a certain and powerful explosion of predictable consequences.” —Michael Reagan

This book is the first of of an upcoming series titled "A Revolution Is Coming".Human history started with writings on the walls of caves and has evolved since to encompass writing on animal skin to paper and now we are here publishing e-books. While humanity as a whole has made a great leap forward, it is often at the expense of the society.We finally made it to the information age where anyone and everyone has access to unlimited amount of information, but does not seem to quench the thirst for a subtle type of knowledge. This knowledge seems to not be written anywhere. There are suggestions here and there on what has been working for some people but you still cannot quite relate to their experience.Once our college or university studies are over, we are dumped into the working world and are told to go make a living. But what does this mean to make a living. Arguably if you go back to someone and ask them the question, there is a pretty good chance that they will see you as dumb. So where to go to find the information that we need?We had the industrial revolution and this has caused so many disruptions. We have seen people starting off as poor and ended up getting rich and we have stories which are the opposite also. We have seen the emergence of formal schools, formal degrees and formal jobs. Before the industrial revolution, which access to education, one could make a living but in today's world, this is no more possible. With our wants on the highest pedestal, we are foregoing our future by letting the world make the decisions for us.This was followed by the internet revolution and businesses took on a new angle and new kinds of jobs were created and more money is available on the market for grabs. We are running to our heels so that we are not the last one to arrive and be ridiculed by society and our peers. The burden for success is so much higher as we have a feeling that everyone is watching us and failing is not an option. The next revolution is now under way and are we prepared for it? The industrial and Internet revolutions have created so many disruptions and destroyed so many of our values, environment and culture. While there are benefits, how can the common person be prepared for it. Often times, all the disruptions fall on us like an avalanche and we feel powerless at the grandeur of things.How do we prepare our kids when we ourselves are not ready to face the full force of a revolution? How do we prepare ourselves? Can I dodge the effects of a revolution? Maybe it is true a revolution is coming or maybe not? Should I waste time preparing myself for something that might not even come? The questions soon feel overwhelming and our mind has only one thing that it will do. It will shut itself up in order to prevent us from going through the trauma of not knowing or taking unnecessary risks. But eventually we will have to face the truth when we will have our own kids. We either do the same things that our parents did to us in hope of getting the same result or we take things in action. The latter option is the more sensible option as we already know from the past that teachings changes with time and we have to evolve and adapt to ensure that we understand our kids and dive deep into their new environment, more challenging than ever before.The new scarcity in town is not food or money or leisure. It is becoming an identity crisis and people are getting it at a younger age with each passing generation. In order to address the issue, we must first delve into our own unconscious behaviours that we think are good but turns out to be detrimental over time. It is always the nice guy or girl who ends up poisoning a relationship. Why? Let us dive into the first chapter of the series for thought provoking thoughts.

The greatest threat to America is already inside our country. It's in your state. It's in your hometown. It's growing every day. Are you prepared? Are you ready?

Etuk has been indefatigable in his profound determination for African revolution as admonished not only in this piece but also in his other works. Adams O. Adah, Founder of Impart Africa, author of Service As Africa begins her journey into the twenty-fi rst century, the citizens ask: how can we survive? In Listen Africans! A Revolution is Coming, author Emma Samuel Etuk addresses the question of revolutiona fundamental change to the basic fabric of societyand its historical manifestations. Through thorough research, Etuk presents strong arguments about the need for change in the social, political, economic, and religious life of Africans. He contends that an array of issues has brought the continent to this point, including broken promises by administrators and governments; poverty and widespread hunger; angry youth and unemployment; official corruption, insensitivity, and kleptocracy; tyranny, despotism, and dictatorships; state-sponsored terrorism; infrastructural decay; and environmental pollution. As Etuk uses these examples and makes a call for a revolution, he provides a backdrop by discussing the following: Origin of revolutions Necessity for an African revolution Theological basis for a revolution Five kinds of revolutions Lessons learned from the six major revolutions of the past Preparation for a revolution Etuk maintains that change is necessary in life and that it is up to the Africans to decide what kind of revolution they should adopt in order to affect change on their continent.

Each technological epoch is built on top of the previous. The advent of computers allowed the advent of the internet, which in-turn allowed for the advent of social. The next epoch is increasingly considered to be the AI (Artificial Intelligence) revolution- where the world's information is hierarchically ordered to create what is, ostensibly, consciousness but with intelligence greater than every living human being on the planet. In effect, the internet is set to wake up. This is the endeavor of a number of organizations, with Google leading the charge. Ray Kurzweil, the head of engineering at Google, thinks they will get there by 2029. In the run up to this there are many applications that will be created that will start to make us see the incredible power in, what will likely be considered to be, a new utility- alongside gas, electricity and water. If only half of what these engineers are saying comes to fruition, then the way that we navigate our waking world is about to undergo the biggest transformation that any single generation has ever experienced. This book explores the incredible potential of the far reach of AI, the road leading up to it, the tantalizing possibilities for marketers and what they can do now to start to prepare.
