Simon Fraser, 25th chief of one of Scotland’s most prominent clans, became a great British commando leader in World War II. Felix Haynes’ third historical fiction novel imagines an earlier, 1930s rise to greatness for the man Winston Churchill called the handsomest man to cut a throat. After refining his superb leadership skills in the British Army’s famed Lovat Scouts, Fraser successfully represents his Inverness district’s economic interests in Parliament by obtaining funds to construct a dam where Loch Ness flows into the River Ness. He also helps the counter-espionage unit MI5 ferret out a traitorous conspiracy between the Scottish head of Fraser’s political party and Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Germany. Recalled to active Army service on the eve of World War II and placed in command of the Scouts, Fraser fulfills a 700-year Fraser Clan commitment when Churchill teams him with Special Air Service founder David Stirling to defend Britain against a German effort to lower Britain’s morale by stealing three important symbols of sovereignty: the Stone of Destiny, the Honors of Scotland, and the British crown jewels. After Haynes’s pre-war fictional introduction to Fraser, the outstanding true record he set as a wartime leader helping fulfill Churchill’s charge to all his special operations units to set Europe ablaze follows naturally.

Here at last is a history of England that is designed to entertain as well as inform and that will delight the armchair traveler, the tourist or just about anyone interested in history. No people have engendered quite so much acclaim or earned so much censure as the English: extolled as the Athenians of modern times, yet hammered for their self-satisfaction and hypocrisy. But their history has been a spectacular one. The guiding principle of this book's heretical approach is that "history is not everything that happened, but what is worth remembering about the past.. . .". Thus, its chapters deal mainly with "Memorable History" in blocks of time over the centuries. The final chapter "The Royal Soap Opera," recounts the achievements, personalities and idiocies of the royal family since the arrival of William the Conqueror in 1066. Spiced with dozens of hilarious cartoons from Punch and other publications, English History will be a welcome and amusing tour of a land that has always fascinated Anglophiles and Anglophobes alike.
For a quarter century, Tim Miller has worked at the intersection of performance, politics, and identity, using his personal experiences to create entertaining but pointed explorations of life as a gay American man—from the perils and joys of sex and relationships to the struggles of political disenfranchisement and artistic censorship. This intimate autobiographical collage of Miller's professional and personal life reveals one of the celebrated creators of a crucial contemporary art form and a tireless advocate for the American dream of political equality for all citizens. Here we have the most complete Miller yet—a raucous collection of his performance scripts, essays, interviews, journal entries, and photographs, as well as his most recent stage piece Us. This volume brings together the personal, communal, and national political strands that interweave through his work from its beginnings and ultimately define Miller's place as a contemporary artist, activist, and gay man.

Foreclosures are hitting record highs; Americans are declaring bankruptcy at rates ten times that during the great Depression; more college students drop out because of debts than due to poor grades; reports of debtor suicides proliferate in the media. In other words, it's a great time to be in the banking business. Maxed Out takes us on a road trip that is sometimes hysterical and often horrifying: from Las Vegas to the Bible Belt, from the backwoods to inner cities, where the world's largest financial giants troll for their next victims. Welcome to a country populated by debt pirates, corporate predators, human credit card billboards, debt evangelists, megamillion-dollar spec homes, and, of course, trillions of dollars of easy credit. Combining startling facts with even more startling examinations of individuals, institutions, the government, and modern religion, James Scurlock separates the myths (there is "good debt" and "bad debt") from the harsh reality (corporations partner with colleges to target today's youth; credit reports are riddled with errors that will never be fixed; and death, for many of those in trouble, is the only way out). At a time when the financial industry posts ever-higher profits even as its clients drown in the flood of easy credit, Scurlock exposes very real, potentially disastrous systems and policies that are consuming millions of Americans. Maxed Out takes readers on a wickedly smart and entertaining tour of what one interviewee calls "the last taboo."
