Philip W. Natale III spent his fiftieth birthday in a jail cell, homeless and addicted. Substance abuse ruled his life.But the death of a fellow addict stirs something deep within him and, ten days later, Natale quits methadone cold turkey. A month later, he quits Valium and Klonopin-as well as the pot, fentanyl patches, and other substances that controlled him for so long.Recovery is an arduous, punishing process both mentally and physically, but Natale perseveres. Life, a clear mind, and sobriety eventually replace the agonizing withdrawal symptoms and, after twenty-three years of substance abuse, he is himself again.The I of Hurricane Me documents Natale's progress from addiction and withdrawal to recovery and redemption. His powerful short stories and poems reveal the hardships of homelessness and the grim toll of drug abuse, while also recounting insightful, and even humorous, episodes of life on the street.A moving, gritty depiction of one man's struggle to reclaim his life, this is ultimately a story of hope. Through courage and determination, Natale broke the shackles of dysfunction, pain, and torment. To witness his struggle is to share the lowest-and highest-points in his life.

The Burlesque Napoleon: The Story of the Life and the Kingship of Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte

During the first two years of Ronald Reagan’s second term the United States developed an offensive strategy for dealing with conflict in the developing world. Nicaragua was a primary target of this policy. Scholars refer to this as the Reagan offensive: the first time that the United States eschewed the norms of containment and sought to “roll-back” the gains of communism. However, the Reagan offensive was also significantly driven by a response to the emergent threat of international terrorism. Terrorism provided a vehicle that justified its use of aggressive proxy war and pursuit of regime change in Central America. U.S. policy with Nicaragua demonstrates the importance of terrorism to the development of a more aggressive United States in the post-Cold War world. This book examines the influence of the U.S.-Contra War in establishing a precedent for the use of overt pre-emptive force against sovereign nations in the name of counterterrorism. In the 21st century, the United States undertook a policy with the world based on a broad definition of self-defense that called for an array of actions that often violated traditional norms of international law and recognition of sovereign rights. This book demonstrates that the precedent for this change occurred in the late Cold War as the United States sought to respond to an escalation of global terrorism. The emergent problem of terrorism in the 1970s and 1980s transformed how and when the United States applied force in the world.
