Financial markets meet agriculture. Big-city Chicago meets rural Illinois. Psychological warfare meets punitive action. And through the maze three men attempt to uncover an agri-conspiracy that could threaten the food supply and inflict incalculable damage to the US economy. July Corn wraps it in a two-fisted, street-smart story that takes place in renaissance Chicago. Sal Magglio has watched the city change from “a drafty hustler’s junction” of neighborhoods to the new, soft-shouldered metropolis of gleaming skyscrapers and transplanted residents. His roots make him true to the city he once knew but the influence of the new Chicago leaves him wanting for a better life. Unwittingly Magglio eventually finds himself in the middle of a conspiracy that includes corporate farming, agri-business companies and the futures market that financially support both. He enlists the support of a friend and a foe that turns against the plot to uncover what lies beneath the green fields of grain. July Corn is a cutting edge story for the new millennium.
So remarkable was the fighting to the east of Atlanta on July 22, 1864, that it earned its place as the only engagement of the Civil War to be widely referred to by the date of its occurrence. Also known as the Battle of Atlanta, this was the largest engagement of the four-month-long Atlanta Campaign for control of the city and the region. Although Confederate commander John Bell Hood’s forces flanked William T. Sherman’s line and were able to crush the end of it, they could go no further. On July 22, 1864, the Confederates came closer to achieving a major tactical victory than on any other day of the Atlanta Campaign.Prolific Civil War historian Earl Hess’s July 22 is a thorough study of all aspects of the most prominent battle of the Civil War’s Atlanta Campaign. Based on exhaustive research in primary sources, Hess has crafted a unique and compelling study of not only the tactics and strategy associated with the engagement but also of the personal experiences of Union and Confederate soldiers and the effects the battle had on them. This book offers fresh insights to the significance that the Battle of July 22 held for the larger Atlanta campaign and the entire Union war effort. Hess also provides a thorough discussion of the death of Maj. Gen. James B. McPherson, the most prominent casualty of the battle, and the effect this loss had on Union soldiers and civilians alike. He concludes with an assessment of the battle’s legacy in American history and culture.Detailing one of the larger and more vigorously fought battles of the Civil War, Hess’s treatment of the Battle of Atlanta stands out as a strong example of Civil War operational history. The combination of maneuver, unit handling, stout combat by the individual soldier, and combative spirit on both sides make July 22 one of the most fascinating and remarkable battles in American history. There is much for the student of military history to learn on many levels of tactics, the experience of combat, and battlefield leadership.
For years, it has been what is called a 'deteriorating situation'. Now all over South Africa the cities are battlegrounds. The members of the Smales family - liberal whites - are rescued from the terror by their servant, July, who leads them to refuge in his native village. What happens to the Smaleses and to July - the shifts in character and relationships - gives us an unforgettable look into the terrifying, tacit understandings and misunderstandings between blacks and whites.
The Florida summer turns even hotter for criminal investigator Larry Macklin when he narrowly escapes an explosion that takes the life of a colleague. The assumed target of the bomb is Larry's cross-dressing confidential informant and the key witness in a major drug trial, Eddie Thompson, who's now on the run. As federal agents descend on Adams County, Larry is pushed aside in the investigation over concerns regarding his status as a witness... and a possible suspect. At loose ends and with nothing to do but look for Eddie, Larry is consumed with survivor's guilt and other emotional fall-out from the explosion that threatens to destroy the relationships he holds most dear. Several breaks in the case finally bring Larry back into the investigation and lead to the person responsible for the bomb. But everything still doesn't add up and Larry is convinced that the real killer is still out there. Can Larry and his partners solve the case before someone else loses their life?

This is a magisterial new account of Europe's tragic descent into a largely inadvertent war in the summer of 1914. Thomas Otte reveals why a century-old system of Great Power politics collapsed so disastrously in the weeks from the 'shot heard around the world' on June 28th to Germany's declaration of war on Russia on August 1st. He shows definitively that the key to understanding how and why Europe descended into world war is to be found in the near-collective failure of statecraft by the rulers of Europe and not in abstract concepts such as the 'balance of power' or the 'alliance system'. In this unprecedented panorama of Europe on the brink, from the ministerial palaces of Berlin and Vienna to Belgrade, London, Paris and St Petersburg, Thomas Otte reveals the hawks and doves whose decision-making led to a war that would define a century and which still reverberates today.
