In today's troubled and uncertain times, the book of Revelation is especially relevant, prophesying Jesus' return, bringing judgment to all on Earth.

The events of the Arab Spring have come to be overshadowed by the civil war in the Arabic-speaking nation of Syria, which has been ruled throughout the 21st century by Bashar al-Assad. Though he had not planned on ruling Syria, several events conspired to make Bashar the successor of his father, Hafez. Though the West frequently looked for signs that Bashar might be a reformer, due in part to his formerly popular Western wife, Assad remained part of a critical alliance with Iran and the sub-state groups Hamas and Hezbollah.

The Romans were master builders, and much of what they built has stood the test of time. Throughout their vast empire they have left grand structures, from the Forum and Pantheon in Rome to the theatres and hippodromes of North Africa and the triumphal gates in Anatolia and France. Wherever they went, the Romans built imposing structures to show their power and ability, and one of their most impressive constructions was built on the northernmost fringe of the empire.

The poppy grew in abundance in the spoiled earth of the cemeteries and battlefields of Flanders, France.

The Celts are one of the most well-known groups in Europe and one of the least understood. Depending on which classifications are used, the Celts are also one of the oldest civilizations in Europe. In the centuries before Christ, the Celts were spread out across much of continental Europe, and though they are mostly identified with Gaul, evidence suggests they also spread as far as Portugal.

This small book looks at some of the strange things that make England unique, starting with the English language itself and looking at concepts such as sports, ghosts and the English love for eccentricity - like the sportsman who rode his horse naked. As well as strange people, the book looks at strange places. For example, there is the canal across Southern England that was dug to keep back Bonaparte’s hordes in the invasion that never took place. There is also the impressively masculine Cerne Abbas Giant, to which women once flocked when they wished to become pregnant.

England to Free Men is written as from England herself and extols the virtues of an empire upon which the sun never sets, and reminding all, from whatever background, that they are free men and must join in the war to defend their common values.

Over the course of its history, England has engaged in an uncountable number of battles, but none of her military heroes has had a greater military legacy than Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson, 1st Viscount Nelson, 1st Duke of Bronté. Whether traveling to Trafalgar Square or one of the hundreds of pubs named after him, seemingly it becomes easy to believe that no Briton has cast as long a shadow.

"The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" relates the experiences of a sailor who has returned from a long sea voyage. The mariner stops a man who is on the way to a wedding ceremony and begins to narrate a story. The wedding guest's reaction turns from bemusement to impatience to fear to fascination as the mariner's story progresses, as can be seen in the language style: Coleridge uses narrative techniques such as personification and repetition to create a sense of danger, the supernatural, or serenity, depending on the mood in different parts of the poem.

Two military setbacks, on a scale unprecedented in history, were required before the high tide of Napoleon's success began to ebb towards the final denouement of the Hundred Days and the famous Battle of Waterloo. The failed Russian invasion set the stage for the second defeat at Leipzig, which essentially sealed the fate of Napoleon's empire. The four-day Battle of Leipzig in October 1813, dubbed the "Battle of the Nations", essentially determined the course the Napoleonic Wars took from that moment forward.

A "crypto" is an animal whose existence cryptozoologists believe has been suggested but has not been discovered or documented by the scientific community. Ghosts, demons, zombies, and aliens are not cryptos. Reptilians, Wendigo's, skin walkers, mimics, Sasquatch, and dog men are. The national forests are thousands and thousands of protected federal land. Cryptos are among us in the woods, in the water, and in the skies, too.

Radnor’s story began many summers ago in another cruel battle far away across the great ocean. It was in a wonderful remote land conquered by Zark the Vikinn, the fearless warrior from the North. Zark was the chieftain of the large clan of Nordic people who called themselves the Vikinns, the children of the Northern gods who descended hundreds of years ago from the night lights in the winter sky. Vikinns were simple, yet hardy people.

On a chilly evening, the wind was whistling through the trees. Quietness rushed through a sleepy town called Bethlehem; an amazing baby was to be born. The thing was he wasn’t born in a hospital - like you and I. His parents were on a long journey home, and they could not find a place to stay, there was no room in any of the town people’s homes; no one in the town would allow them to stay with them. They searched and searched, but nobody wanted to help them.
