The Murderer, the Monarch and the Fakir is a fresh account of one of the most controversial political assassinations in contemporary history - that of Mahatma Gandhi. Based on previously unseen intelligence reports and police records, this book recreates the circumstances of his murder, the events leading up to it, and the investigation afterward. In doing so, it unearths a conspiracy that runs far deeper than a hate crime and challenges the popular narrative about the assassination that has persisted for the past 70 years.

In this hilarious, fast-paced romantic suspense, the first post-Trump president is a sex addict who likes to hang in Vegas on the weekends and pick up women. He also has a tendency to misplace the nuclear "biscuit" of gold codes he’s meant to carry at all times.

The CIA calls in Charley, a charismatic trans-man spy, to use his intuitive skills to vet everyone.

Sie haben Regime gestürzt, Grenzen geöffnet und Rechte erkämpft – Proteste haben in der Geschichte schon einige Steine ins Rollen gebracht. In der Gegenwart scheinen sie präsenter denn je, und es hat sich verändert, wer wofür oder wogegen und in welcher Form protestiert: von Frauen, die ihre Kopftücher verbrennen, über Bauern, die mit ihren Traktoren Straßen blockieren, oder Klimaaktivist:innen, die sich am Boden festkleben, bis hin zu Social-Media-Posts unter Hashtags wie GegenRechts, MeToo oder MutZurWahrheit.

"The rise of the West" has long been the accepted doctrine for framing analyses of world history. Privileging a Eurocentric approach, this traditional paradigm obscures the significance of the indigenous rich in non-Western regions and fails to recognize the contributions of the Orient. In this book, Peter Gran seeks to reframe current historical debates, presenting a model of analysis based on the rise of the rich. Gran outlines the structure of this new paradigm, building upon metanarrative concepts from Marxism to liberalism.

Set in modern-day America, post-pandemic and election. The new government, only two years into its tenure, already has the green-energy project up and running. And, with the midterms a few months away, it seems like a rather strategic time to push for the liquidation of all physical currency to E-dollars. Supported by the liberals and vehemently opposed by the conservative side of the country, both sides fight to protect their version of America, but what they do not know is that life is about change completely from all they knew it to be.

“When I reflect on my life experience, I can identify three broad categories on which I focused to bring my world into better, more stable, and more successful alignment….” In this challenging and thought-provoking new book, James Oaksun argues that those same three areas–repeal, repair, and prepare–are precisely what Florida, and America, need to focus on in order to thrive in the middle years of the 21st century.

In the wake of the November 2011 elections, the Tea Party has gone from a well-funded, media-savvy fringe group to become the new kids in Congress. Their presence is unpredictable and potentially explosive. Tea partiers Rand Paul, Mike Lee and Dan Coats now sit in the Senate alongside the GOP's new poster boy, Marco Rubio. In total, some 30 Tea Party supporters won seats in Congress. Their party is evidently here to stay - but what exactly does that mean for the future of the country?
