Free Download Glenn Frankel, "The Searchers: The Making of an American Legend"
English | ISBN: 1608191052 | 2013 | 416 pages | AZW3 | 3 MB
In 1836 in East Texas, nine-year-old Cynthia Ann Parker was kidnapped by Comanches. She was raised by the tribe and eventually became the wife of a warrior. Twenty-four years after her capture, she was reclaimed by the U.S. cavalry and Texas Rangers and restored to her white family, to die in misery and obscurity. Cynthia Ann’s story has been told and re-told over generations to become a foundational American tale. The myth gave rise to operas and one-act plays, and in the 1950s to a novel by Alan LeMay, which would be adapted into one of Hollywood’s most legendary films, The Searchers, "The Biggest, Roughest, Toughest… and Most Beautiful Picture Ever Made!" directed by John Ford and starring John Wayne.

Free Download The Racket: A Rogue Reporter vs The American Empire, 2nd Edition by Matt Kennard
English | June 13, 2024 | ISBN: 1350422711 | True EPUB | 440 pages | 0.5 MB
While working for the Financial Times, investigative journalist Matt Kennard had unbridled access to the crème de la crème of the global elite. From slanging matches with Henry Kissinger to afternoon coffees with the man who captured Che Guevara, Kennard spent four years gathering extraordinarily honest testimony from the horse’s mouth on how the global economic system works away from the convenient myths. It left him with only one conclusion: the world as we know it is run by an exclusive class of American racketeers who operate with virtually unlimited weapons and money, and a reach much too close to home.

Free Download Thomas C. Holt, "The Movement: The African American Struggle for Civil Rights"
English | ISBN: 0197525792 | 2021 | 176 pages | AZW3 | 7 MB
The civil rights movement was among the most important historical developments of the twentieth century and one of the most remarkable mass movements in American history. Not only did it decisively change the legal and political status of African Americans, but it prefigured as well the moral premises and methods of struggle for other historically oppressed groups seeking equal standing in American society. And, yet, despite a vague, sometimes begrudging recognition of its immense import, more often than not the movement has been misrepresented and misunderstood. For the general public, a singular moment, frozen in time at the Lincoln Memorial, sums up much of what Americans know about that remarkable decade of struggle.
