North Korea

The Korean Peninsula today is divided into two, but there was a time when this peninsula was divided into many states. Over the course of time, and besieged by expansive transient dynasties outside of this modest piece of land, many clans and tribes overran their lands. Of all those malicious and greedy potential overlords, none managed to prevail.

Hampton Sides' superb account of this epic clash in the Korean War relies on years of archival research, unpublished letters, declassified documents, and interviews with scores of marines and Koreans who survived the siege. While expertly detailing the follies of the American leaders, On Desperate Ground is an immediate, grunt's-eye view of history, enthralling in its narrative pace and powerful in its portrayal of what ordinary men are capable of in the most extreme circumstances.

This clever style of writing keeps the reader on their toes throughout. The action in When the Killing Starts begins on page one and never lets up. This novel can be read as a stand-alone story. Action/thriller readers will love this book as much as I did." - Readers' Favorite The Winter Olympics: the perfect time for competition, sportsmanship…and mayhem Days before the Winter Olympics are scheduled to begin, host country ...

Who is Babylon the Great? Revelation 17:5 presents a description: “And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery Babylon the Great, the Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth.” This question has been a mystery since Apostle John wrote the Book of Revelation two thousand years ago.

Still many others write that the United States will become that prophesied Babylon with her fall from grace and economics; which will lead to degradation and turning from God in ...
