Excerpt from The Conquering Cross: The Church The Apostles disappear - representative figures Of bishops and martyrs take their place on the canvas. The dim Shadows Of their ancient heathen rivals confront them for a moment and pass. The confused murmur Of Old controversies and apologies, ' drowned in the raging clamour of persecution, startle the ear, but are at length stilled for awhile in the Splendid ascendancy of the Christian Church under Constantine. Viewed as a consecutive narrative, this book must appear defective. Out of the many Persecutions (which become mono tonous after a time), only a characteristic scene here and there has been selected; out Of the many Martyrs, only a few Of the leading types; out Of the many Princes, only the most illustrious or notorious; out Of the many Apologies, only the most cogent; out Of the many Controversies, only the most salient; out Of the many Heretics, only the most intellectual or picturesque; out Of the many Saints, only the most phenomenal.

Excerpt from book: an idle question, or a philosophic sigh over the boundless folly and credulity of mankind Such was the obscurity of the Christian believer about the year 60. And now realise the splendour of the Roman Empire as it flashed for a moment upon the vision 5. of our Lord when He beheld, as The Empire. from a high mountain, all the kingdoms of the earth and the glory of them. The riches of the Roman Empire were still immense?the vast fabric of wealth and power built up by the virtues of the Republic still hung together, cemented by ancient laws and fostered by an unrivalled administration. Rome's army and navy had conquered the Eastern and Western worlds. Sightseers, merchants, artists, politicians, philosophers flocked to Rome, and either plied their lucrative callings there or left their works and their wealth behind them. In all the great towns rose marble palaces, villas, and vast amphitheatres in imitation of the imperial city; whilst the excellent Roman roads, and a complete network of posthouses, inns, and government stations, made travelling swift, secure, chapter{Section 4Nero. 5 and easy throughout the length and breadth of the land. The desolated and ill-cultivated domain now ruled by the Turk was then the garden of the empire and the granary of the world. The rostrum at Rome, the crumbling foundations of which can still be traced even now standing in the Forum, still seemed to echo with the eloquence of Cicero and his disciples?the baths and elegant Roman lounges were still full of the memories of Virgil and Horace and Ovid?the poets, historians, and philosophers of the great Augustan Age had hardly passed away, to be succeeded ere the century closed by a series of writers such as Tacitus, Livy, Suetonius, and Juvenal, scarcely inferior to their great...

Remaking the Conquering Heroes shows that American policymakers and Army officers had to confront and take control over a lawless US military in the aftermath of World War II. Money laundering, theft, racial antagonism between black and white GIs, unregulated sex, and high rates of venereal disease threatened to undermine American authority in occupied Germany as much as Soviet-American conflict. Willoughby argues that it was the creative, if disorganized, reaction of American officials in Germany that helped create both a foreign policy framework and more inclusive, familial military establishment capable of consolidating and extending US power during the Cold War.

This is the first major study to bring together for examination all of Conrad's Malay fiction: the early novels, Almayer's Folly , An Outcast of the Islands , and Lord Jim ; the two later novels, Victory and The Rescue ; and various short stories, such as The Lagoon and Karain . The volume focuses on cross-cultural encounters, cultural identity and cultural dislocation, paying particular attention to issues of race and gender. He also situates Conrad's fiction in relation to earlier English accounts of South-East Asia.

This WWII regimental history traces an unsung U.S. Army from its important role in the liberation of Europe through the postwar lives of its leaders. The Ninth Army was formed in May of 1944 under the command of General William Hood Simpson. By late August, it was ready to join the crusade in Europe. Known by its radio call sign “Conquer,” this brave army landed at Utah Beach, France, and joined General Patton’s Battle for Brest, finally capturing Brittany’s largest port in late September. The Ninth Army went on to become the only American army to fight under British Field Marshal Montgomery’s command, crossing the Rhine and playing a role in the Battle of the Bulge. The Ninth was involved in the reduction of the Wesel Pocket, Operation Varsity, the airborne drop across the Rhine, the reduction of the Ruhr Pocket, and then the “Race to Berlin.” The Ninth reached the Elbe River before it was stopped not by the enemy, but by high command. Following the end of hostilities, the army was dissolved. This new history of the Ninth covers all levels of the army’s activities from the responsibilities and duties of the higher echelon, the commanders through to combat stories of the units under its command and Medal of Honor actions.

Author Nate Cross participated in the 2019 Tour Divide, a 2,745-mile mountain bike race along the Great Divide from Banff (Canada) to the border of Mexico. Unfortunately, due to an illness, he had to drop out of the race (1,000 miles into the journey). For a full year, his desire to return to complete this ride intensified, only to have the 2020 Tour Divide cancelled due to a worldwide pandemic (Covid-19). Despite this roadblock, the author returned to the area where he dropped out the previous year, to take care of some "unfinished business" by completing his ride. This is the story of both adventures. However, this book is about much more than his Great Divide ride. It is a reflective story about a series of personal events that changed the author's life through his abuse of alcohol, and his path to recovery. As an avid cyclist, he puts this ride and his past into perspective by sharing some parallels he discovered during his recovery (utilizing the Alcoholics Anonymous 12-Step Program), while completing his Great Divide ride. Additionally, this is a story of personal and spiritual redemption, resulting from a new mindset that not only helped him conquer the Great Divide, but also to become a better person, one day at a time. ALL PROCEEDS BENEFIT THOSE IN RECOVERY.
