E. Howard Hunt, who sued this author for writing about his involvement in the JFK assassination or "The Big Event" confessed to being part of the crew and named Frank Fiorini Sturgis as one of principals; Coup D'Etat in America was the book that inspired Congressman Henry Gonzalez to introduce a bill in Congress that led to the formation of House Select Committee on Assassinations. This is a longer updated version. It is based on the theory that the three tramps who were picked up about an hour after the Kennedy Assassination (not to be confused with the three real bums who were picked up right after the big event - Oliver Buck Revell of FBI Dallas FO floated this story to discredit the tramp theory) were E. Howard Hunt, CIA official who was instrumental in the overthrow of Arbenz of Guatemala and was deeply involved in the Bay of Pigs fiasco, Frank Fiorini Sturgis, a leader of Operation 40 which involved assassinating all the Communists and their families in Cuba after Castro was deposed, and David Lemar Christ, who was locked up and tortured by Castro for bugging the ChiCom wire service and released in April 1963 in a prisoner exchange. It also documents the part that James Angleton played in Oswald's defection to the Soviet Union and Oswald's role in sabotaging an upcoming USSR USA Summit conference. Coup is based on years and years of research at NARA, Federal Court houses, personal interviews and the information I bought from Gerry Patrick Hemming, the man who brought Oswald into the mix and had him believing that he was running a counter-intelligence operation against the Cubans by trying to visit Cuba, by forming the Fair Play for Cuba Committee and other of Oswald's shenanigans. Hemming offered Oswald twice the cost of his rifle and told him to bring it to the TSBD on November 22, 1963. Oswald didn't have a clue that the big event was going down. Hemming tried to set me up for a fall to work off a beef. He said he knew of a lab where the Yippies could construct an atomic IED. Just taking a step in that direction is conspiracy. I told him my name was no Oswald. Coup also documents Jack Ruby's part in the conspiracy as the CIA and the Mafia had worked together to assassinate Fidel Castro. But Jack's flunkie Tippet messed up because Oswald had realized he was a patsy in the big event by this time and took Tippet out before Tippet could take him out as Ruby had ordered. Oswald had heard Hemming talk about scenarios where patsy's get blown away and suddenly realize that his old Marine buddy had set him up. This book in constantly being updated.

A stroke of the pen and history is changed. In 1938, British prime minister Neville Chamberlain, determined to avoid war, signed the Munich Accord, ceding part of Czechoslovakia to Hitler. But the following spring, Hitler snatched the rest of that country, and England, after a fatal act of appeasement, was fighting a war for which it was not prepared. Now, in this thrilling alternate history, another scenario is played out: What if Chamberlain had not signed the accord? In this action-packed chronicle of the war that might have been, Harry Turtledove uses dozens of points of view to tell the story: from American marines serving in Japanese-occupied China and ragtag volunteers fighting in the Abraham Lincoln Battalion in Spain to an American woman desperately trying to escape Nazi-occupied territory—and witnessing the war from within the belly of the beast. A tale of powerful leaders and ordinary people, at once brilliantly imaginative and hugely entertaining, Hitler’s War captures the beginning of a very different World War II—with a very different fate for our world today. BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Harry Turtledove's The War that Came Early: West and East.

An important literary debut from the Vice President of Ghana, a fable-like memoir that offers a shimmering microcosm of post-colonial Africa. 'A much welcome work of immense relevance' Chinua Achebe My First Coup D'Etat chronicles the coming-of-age of John Dramani Mahama in Ghana during the dismal post-independence 'lost decades' of Africa. He was seven years old when rumours of a coup reached his boarding school in Accra. His father, a minister of state, was suddenly missing, then imprisoned for more than a year. My First Coup D'Etat offers a look at the country that has long been considered Africa's success story. This is a one-of-a-kind book: Mahama's is a rare literary voice from a political leader, and his stories work on many levels - as fables, as history, as cultural and political analysis, and, of course, as the memoir of a young man who, unbeknownst to him or anyone else, would grow up to be vice president of his nation. Though non-fiction, these are stories that rise above their specific settings and transport the reader - much like the fiction of Isaac Bashevis Singer and Nadine Gordimer - into a world all their own, one which straddles a time lost and explores the universal human emotions of love, fear, faith, despair, loss, longing, and hope despite all else.

The genus Peromyscus is one of the most representative genera of North American mammals and the most intensively studied. This volume focuses on five areas of peromyscine biology that have been particularly dynamic over the past 20 years, and in which there have been significant contributions both to specific knowledge of the genus as well as to the understanding of broader ecological and evolutionary processes.
