The tragedies of World War II are well known. But at least one has been forgotten: in September 1939, four hundred thousand cats and dogs were massacred in Britain. The government, vets, and animal charities all advised against this killing. So why would thousands of British citizens line up to voluntarily euthanize household pets? In The Great Cat and Dog Massacre, Hilda Kean unearths the history, piecing together the compelling story of the life—and death—of Britain’s wartime animal companions. She explains that fear of imminent Nazi bombing and the desire to do something to prepare for war led Britons to sew blackout curtains, dig up flower beds for vegetable patches, send their children away to the countryside—and kill the family pet, in theory sparing them the suffering of a bombing raid. Kean’s narrative is gripping, unfolding through stories of shared experiences of bombing, food restrictions, sheltering, and mutual support. Soon pets became key to the war effort, providing emotional assistance and helping people to survive—a contribution for which the animals gained government recognition. Drawing extensively on new research from animal charities, state archives, diaries, and family stories, Kean does more than tell a virtually forgotten story. She complicates our understanding of World War II as a “good war” fought by a nation of “good” people. Accessibly written and generously illustrated, Kean’s account of this forgotten aspect of British history moves animals to center stage—forcing us to rethink our assumptions about ourselves and the animals with whom we share our homes.

It was no small act of heroism to which the boy made up his mind in those few moments. Those were lawless days, and human life was held very cheap. The band of fierce men who had believed they were carrying off a prince, would think nothing of running him through with their swords when they discovered how they had been tricked, and that by a mere child. Paul set his teeth hard and braced himself up for the task he had set himself. He knew his peril he realized it too; but he was a soldier's son, and had he not said he would live and die for the prince? Would he ever be worthy of the knighthood every lad looked forward to as the goal of his ambition, if he shrank now from the task he had set himself? Hardly had that resolution been taken before there sprang out from the thick underwood two or three fierce-looking men, armed to the teeth.

The Art of Speculation during Civil War - Sun Tzu Meets Jesse Livermore offers a compelling choice: remain asleep or wake up to the truth; accept whatever major media say or understand how the economy, government, and society are manipulated for the profit of a few and at the expense of the majority. Slavery is dependent upon the consent of the slave. Oppression, to succeed, requires the sanction of the oppressed. No regime, be it democratic, monarchic, socialist, communist, or fascist, can exist for long without the public's consent, irrespective of how that consent is manufactured. If consent is withdrawn, the regime falls. The Art of Speculation during Civil War aims to hasten the day when individuals, communities, countries, and the world withdraw consent from those who would manipulate them for the aggrandizement of their power. This book invites its readers to awaken to the truth and profit from the knowledge and freedom gained. The truth is a solid foundation for any economic activity. Anyone can profit from the truth and extraordinary profits are possible for those who understand why Sun Tzu meets Jesse Livermore.

LOVE RISES is pure, well, not so pure, fiction based on fact. A young Confederate lieutenant and a daring, older woman break all the taboos of the South in their efforts to survive a war-shattered world. When the Civil War ends, dashing Confederate Lieutenant Charlie Irving helps Julia's husband, General Robert Toombs, flee to France to avoid Union charges for treason. For years, Charlie has lusted after Julia even though she is a married woman twenty years his senior, and the South's most celebrated beauty. Under Charlie's smoldering looks, Julia goes weak in the knees and dreams of falling with Charlie on the thick, Persian carpet in her mansion's parlor. The aftermath of war offers a world based on survival and a chance to explore their passion if the two can survive the North's continuing effort to crush the South. But Julia still loves her husband, and code-of-honor-bound Charlie has sworn to take care of Julia in the General's absence. Is General Toombs' desperate plea to Charlie to do whatever is necessary to keep his wife safe and happy, curse or blessing on what the future holds?
