Jarret Ruminski examines ordinary lives in Confederate-controlled Mississippi, to show how military occupation and the ravages of war tested the meaning of loyalty during America's greatest rift. This study focuses on wartime activities - such as swearing the Union oath, illegally trading with the Union army, and deserting from the Confederate army - to show how Mississippians acted on multiple loyalties to self, family, and nation. It probes the relationship between race and loyalty, to indicate how an internal war defined Mississippi's social development, well into the 20th century.

Through the years, since Apartheid ended officially in 1994, a lot was written about the South African Police Force (SAP). Not all of the books were true to facts and many with a clear left-wing liberal political motive behind them. Many “anti” books were published, especially by the mainstream publishing houses and although they have a function and fulfilled a fiscal need, the Mean Streets Series is not like that. This is a story of a man, a junior officer that grew up in Apartheid South Africa and joined the Police at age 18 with the specific purpose to serve, to hunt criminals and ...

Code Name Odette deals with codes and cyphers as well as the dangers of radical penetration agents in Western Intelligence Agencies. What my research revealed was fascinating. I further wanted to explain the difference between a code and a cypher. I found that not many know the difference but I am sure after reading Code Name Odette, you will. We also found out that almost all the decrypted World War Two Bletchley Park cyphers were useless, as workable intelligence goes. On a tactical level, they were rarely used by those needing it most, the ground troops who were fighting the enemy. For ...

Code Name Pour Angelique deals with the consequences of starting a fire you cannot control and how it may come back at you. When Special Forces or secret agents attack someone or something they better succeed, or the retaliation will follow you home. We see this happening every day in the current War on Terror. Traditionally, before 9/11, the terrorist activities were far away and something in the news, not in your neighbourhood if American or if from Western Europe. There were terrorist incidents, of course, especially in France where not all were Muslim related as such - Mossad taking out...

In Code Name Phoenix, we deal with the idea of sinking a modern warship with a converted Q-ship, using a combination of automatic anti-aircraft cannon, a field gun and MANPAD missiles against any air counter-attack. Although not unknown in history, we can think of several Q-ships and we discuss their history in the book, this has not been done in decades. However, it can be done, I am sure. The idea is to get close and to open up with devastating effect, using a mixture of high explosives, armour piercing, incendiary and depleted uranium shells to take out the vital parts of the ship; the ...

During his years of reporting from the world's most savage and turbulent regions, Fergal Keane has witnessed the violence of the South African townships and the terror in Rwanda, the most extreme kinds of human behaviour, the horror of genocide, and the bravery of peacekeepers faced with overwhelming odds. As one of the BBC's leading correspondents, he recounts extraordinary encounters on the front lines.

Code Name Dawson is the last book in the “Egg Breaker War” Series within the GMJ Series. It has been a long road for Angelique Dawson, the brilliant onetime South African Secret Service Head of Counter-Terrorism and Counter-Espionage. After her illegal detention in 2012 and subsequent escape and defection to France (Code Name VFO565), she came back to deal with unfinished business. The “Egg Breaker War” kicked off with a surprise attack on the households of the narrator in the GMJ Books, Geoffrey Foxtrot and his best friend, legendary Special Forces officer, Geelslang Peter Ndebele,...
