He was the most controversial American general in World War II—and also one of the most successful, courageous, and audacious. As a post-war administrator of defeated Germany, he sounded alarm bells about the dangers of Soviet encroachment into Europe. Politically, he was a lightning rod—an outspoken conservative who continually embarrassed his superiors with his uncensored, undiplomatic, and unrestrained comments to the press. He was General George S. Patton Jr., "Old Blood and Guts."

Thus warned Hilaire Belloc in 1936 -- long before the Christian West permitted millions of Moslems to immigrate and proliferate, building thousands of new mosques in the United State and Europe, including a huge one in Rome itself a few years ago. Belloc's essay on Moslems, together with five important and meaty Catholic Encyclopedia articles by scholar Gabriel Oussani in 1908, comprise this valuable new book. read more

For more than two hundred years, questions about the factuality of the Old Testament have led many critics to see it as little more than pious fiction. In this fascinating new book, noted ancient historian K.A. Kitchen takes strong issue with today's "revisionist" critics and offers a firm foundation for the historicity of the biblical texts.

Nor did He succumb to their intense persecutions and indoctrination. Instead, a transformation of Orthodoxy occurred . . . Protestant sectarian groups began to flourish . . . many believers continued their religious activity underground . . . still others exhibited a variety of strategies adapted to the new conditions. read more

We are still caught in the lie that Darwinism is the only respectable scientific position -- and much of this pseudoscientific dogmatism rests on myths surrounding the enigmatic figure of Charles Darwin himself. Darwin would change the world with his theory -- but the popular perception of him as a disinterested scientist who arrived at this theory after painstaking and meticulous examination of the natural world is dead wrong. As Benjamin Wiker proves in The Darwin Myth: The Life and Lies of Charles Darwin, Darwin did not originate the theory of evolution. Darwin's singular achievement was to dress it up with enough scientific trappings to make it plausible -- a goal which he pursued out of a fanatical desire to strike a blow at Christianity and eradicate the idea that human beings were created in the image of God. Wiker shows that Darwinism, despite the shrill denials of many of its supporters, does indeed lead to atheism -- because Darwin designed it to do so.

For more than a year, Dan Brown's #1 New York Times bestseller, The Da Vinci Code, has been entertaining readers with its dark tale of a conspiracy to suppress the supposed "truth" about Jesus and early Christianity -- a "truth" which the novel, on its very first page, insists is historical fact, not fiction. Among the novel's central claims: that Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene and had children by her.

Books like John Cornwell's Hitler's Pope and Garry Wills's Papal Sin (and others) have become New York Times bestsellers by arguing that Pope Pius XII was complicit in the Holocaust by failing to do enough to save the Jews from Nazi extermination. But in The Myth of Hitler's Pope, Orthodox Jewish Rabbi David Dalin explodes this newly resurrected, widely accepted, yet utterly bankrupt smearing of a pope who was, in fact, to Jewish survivors of the Holocaust, "a righteous gentile."

The Confederate soldier was revered by Northerners and Southerners alike long after the war ended for what Philip A. Bruce calls “the high, the gallant, and the romantic aspects” of his character. Examples of character traits like these are rare in public life nowadays, but they abound on the pages of Brave Deeds of Confederate Soldiers. Bruce’s vivid account of numerous deeds of daring, bravado, cunning, and selfless courage by Confederate partisans during the great conflict will fire your children’s imaginations — and impress upon them the all-important lesson that some causes are worth risking everything to advance. read more

Time was, people in Western society lived in a culture where the Bible was assumed to possess a certain authority. In today's secular culture, that's no longer true. From TV documentaries to Hollywood blockbusters, from newsmagazines to bestselling books, frontal attacks on the reliability of the New Testament are as common today as they were unthinkable only a few decades ago. As a result, many Christians find themselves not merely on the defensive but overwhelmed -- scarcely able to keep track of the attacks, much less to answer them. Now, the remedy: in Conspiracies and the Cross, historian and Scripture scholar Dr. Timothy Paul Jones examines in depth the ten most popular "conspiracy theories" calling the New Testament into question -- and shows how, when subjected to actual historical evidences, each of them crumbles beneath the weight of its own overblown claims.

For more than a century the fate of the Confederate submarine H.L. Hunley remained one of the great unsolved mysteries of the Civil War. The brainchild of wealthy New Orleans planter and lawyer Horace Lawson Hunley, the Hunley inspired tremendous hopes of breaking the Union's naval blockade of Charleston, only to drown two crews on disastrous test runs. But on the night of February 17, 1864, the Hunley finally made good on its promise. Under the command of the heroic Lieutenant George E. Dixon, the sub rammed a spar torpedo into the Union sloop Housatonic and sank the ship within minutes, accomplishing a feat of stealth technology that would not be repeated for half a century. read more

Human knowledge has never been greater than it is today: from physics to biology to technology, our understanding and mastery of the universe continues to grow dramatically in every field imaginable. Except one. According to David Kupelian, we don’t understand evil -- what it is, how it works, and why it so routinely destroys our lives. Indeed, we scarcely are able to name evil while it runs rampant all around us, claiming untold millions of victims in the form of political tyranny, sexual anarchy, terrorism, family breakdown, and drug dependency. Now, veteran newsman David Kupelian explores How Evil Works -- the actual mechanics, the inner workings, the "operating system" of this most vexing and under-examined part of all our lives.

Americans tend to lack a basic understanding of military matters, and no wonder: For nearly half a century, military history has become increasingly unfashionable on campus. "This state of neglect in our schools is profoundly troubling," writes classics professor and conservative commentator Victor Davis Hanson. "Democratic citizenship requires knowledge of war -- and now, in the age of weapons of mass annihilation, more than ever." In The Father Of Us All: War and History, Ancient and Modern, Hanson helps to fill that gap in our knowledge with 13 of his finest recent essays on the subject. Revised and combined into a well- articulated whole, the chapters in this book explore such topics as how technology shapes warfare, what constitutes the "American way of war," and why even those who abhor war need to study military history. "War is the father and king of us all," Heraclitus wrote in ancient Greece -- and Hanson shows why it that is no less so today.

Exclusive hardcover edition -- not available in stores!

One of the first things Stalin, Hitler, Mao and other totalitarians did was rewrite the histories of their nations, remaking the past to foster their control of the present. The American Left has done the same thing in our country: most American history books - both for students and adults -- are riddled with PC nonsense that makes the Founding Fathers over into racist slaveholders, the settlers of the West into genocidal land-stealers, and the welfare state into the harbinger of the ultimate triumph of liberalism.

Aren't all religions fundamentally the same? Don't they teach the same basic ethical principles, and worship the same God? To the media, the answer is an obvious "yes" -- but the real answer is an emphatic "no." Now, in The Religions Next Door: What We Need to Know about Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam -- and What Reporters Are Missing, Marvin Olasky tells the truth about about non-Christian religions -- and the danger of believing that all religions hold different variations of the same tenets.

Since the attacks of September 11, 2001, many attempts at explanation have been made -- but few if any have matched the analytical depth and original displayed by English philosopher and cultural commentator Roger Scruton. In The West and the Rest: Globalization and the Terrorist Threat, Scruton argues that to comprehend and combat Islamic terrorism, one must understand both the unique historical evolution of the state and the dynamic of globalization. Some highlights of his argument: read more
