Apodado por muchos expertos como "La guerra más estúpida del mundo", el conflicto de Ucrania es uno que casi nadie vio en el horizonte en 2010. Sin embargo, ahora tiene casi una década. En este conflicto en Ucrania dividida a partes iguales, la política arriesgada por parte de los actores locales en el país, por parte de Occidente que quiere arrastrar a Ucrania a su órbita, y por parte de Rusia que teme perder Ucrania y su seguridad, en el proceso es la norma. Al mismo tiempo, el mundo observa con aparente impotencia cómo Ucrania se desgarra por las costuras. La mayoría de los ...

“The Ancestry Factor in American Elections” is a pathbreaking work that shows us the least-talk-about aspect of the American demographic makeup, which though complex in itself, provides a unique insight into how elections are won and lost in the United States of America. We find that this curious aspect of ancestry is something the news media deliberately or unknowingly fail to dwell on, focusing instead on the economic, political, and specific social agendas of the forces that are bent on molding society, the state, and the world. In a seemingly effortless manner, this work reveals the...

In this groundbreaking account, the author takes the reader down the aisle of groundbreaking events and history to the reality that today is Ukraine, the Ukraine Conflict, post-Cold-war Europe, and the controversial American-led unipolar world. The complexity of Ukraine, its history, politics, and the multi-faceted war the divided Ukrainian people did not anticipate two decades ago becomes easy to understand, laying the foundations for a solution to what many pundits think is an intractable conflict. The author achieved that with an insight and presentation that makes this account a ...

"The Ancestry Factor in American Elections" es una obra pionera que nos muestra el aspecto menos comentado de la composición demográfica estadounidense, que aunque complejo en sí mismo, proporciona una visión única de cómo se ganan y pierden las elecciones en los Estados Unidos de América. Descubrimos que este curioso aspecto de la ascendencia es algo en lo que los medios de comunicación, deliberada o inconscientemente, no se detienen, centrándose en cambio en las agendas económicas, políticas y sociales específicas de las fuerzas que están empeñadas en moldear la sociedad, el...

This succinct narrative effortlessly takes us through a millennium and a half of the formative history of the land that is at the center of geopolitics today. As the first part of a breathtaking account that takes us hand-in-hand through the landmark history of the land variously described as "The Holy Land", “The Promised Land", Israel and Palestine, this narrative provides unique insight into plans — attempted and not yet articulated — to resolve the conflict between two peoples or nations with deep connections to the land, but who are not living there in peace because they are ...

There is some kind of a sweet innocence in being the real thing, the true inheritor of a legacy, the upholder of the identity others strive to be attached to. In this account, we see two narratives that oppose one another, but that ought to complement each other. How do a people so divided by history embrace their common heritage or denominator as the children of Kievan Rus, but who later became known as the frontier people (Ukrainians)? "The Real Ukrainians" is the first part of an account that would take us hand-in-hand through our journey that would make us enlightened regarding the ...

PREVAILED: Donald Trump’s 2024 Victory makes a compelling read right from the opening chapters, as it encapsulates the political journey of Donald Trump in an insightful and electrifying manner. The author takes the reader hand-in-hand through the 45th president of the United States of America's journey to become the 47th president in a process that seems to defy lawsuits, assassination attempts, the machinery of the legacy media, the political establishment, and the “Powers without a Face”. Defying propaganda, staying indifferent to opinions not based on facts, ignoring outright lies...

When Lois Wyse wrote that “A mother becomes a true grandmother the day she stops noticing the terrible things her children do because she is so enchanted with the wonderful things her grandchildren do.”, she had no idea her words could be expatiated upon and applied in real life.

Dubbed by many pundits as “The Most Stupid War in the World,” the Ukraine conflict is one that hardly anyone saw coming back in 2010. However, it is close to a decade old already. In this conflict in the evenly divided Ukraine, brinkmanship by the local players in the country, by the West that wants to drag Ukraine into its orbit, and by Russia that fears losing Ukraine and its security in the process, is the norm. At the same time, the world watches in a seemingly helpless manner as Ukraine gets torn apart at the seams. Most of the governments in the West blame Russia for instigating ...

A teenage girl who is about to take a leap of faith seeks the counsel of his insightful uncle. But all he can provide are insights. Does a journey that takes her to the heart of altruism, charity and solidarity, bigotry, racism, and divine providence provide the guidelines that can help her come to terms with her destiny? Does his insightful hand-in-hand lead provide the answers she needs? “Fateful Ties” proceeds “The Fire and Ice Legend”, and precedes “The Sweetest Madness” in the short stories collection entitled “Me Before Them”.

As a German colony from 1884-1916, Kamerun was called "The African Pearl" for its human and material potential, and for its strategic position in Africa. The defeat of Germany in the First World War and the partition of the colony into British Cameroons and French Cameroon did not diminish the area's outsize role in the political and economic evolution of the continent. So, the quest by the land's civic nationalists to reunite the British-controlled and French-controlled territories and make Cameroon independent, raised concerns among the colonialists in Britain and France, who planned to ...

Cameroon is the only country in Africa where those who campaigned, fought and died for the country's freedom and independence from colonial rule have never made it to power, where the ideas and ideals of these union-nationalists are still being suppressed by the unpopular system the colonial master put in place in the country after defeating these civic-nationalists in a bloody war variously described as France’s genocidal war in Africa. This retarding French-imposed system keeps the country trapped in poverty, corruption, underdevelopment, dictatorship, despondence, and cynicism, thereby...

Me Before Them is a collection of exquisite short stories that dispassionately explore life’s temperaments through characters and their actions that give us a better understanding of the enemies of peace―ambition, anger, avarice, envy, and pride―within us. In Dark Shades, a man embraces childlike trust again by baring his soul to his family and exorcising the ghosts haunting him; alas finding out that genuine happiness also comes with empathy and selfless giving. In The Grandmothers, brave matriarchs step in to whisk their grandchildren out of the labyrinths of desolation that their ...
