A Mortal Blow to the Confederacy

The Fall of New Orleans, 1862

By: Mark F. Bielski

Abraham Lincoln knew if the Union could cut off shipping to and from New Orleans, the largest exporting port in the world, and control the Mississippi River, it would be a mortal blow to the Confederate economy. Union military leaders devised a secret plan to attack the city from the Gulf of Mexico with a formidable naval flotilla under one commander, David G. Farragut, a native New Orleanian. Jefferson Davis also understood the city’s importance—but he and his military leaders remained steadfastly undecided about where the threat to the city lay, sending troops to Tennessee rather than addressing the Union forces amassing in the Gulf. In the city, Confederate General Mansfield Lovell, a new commander, was thrust into the middle and poised to become a scapegoat. He was hamstrung by conflicting orders from Richmond and lacked both proper seagoing reconnaissance and the unity of command. In the spring of 1862, when a furious naval battle began downriver from the city at Forts Jackson and St. Philip, the joyous celebrations of Mardi Gras turned into the Easter season of dread as the sound of the distant bombardment reached New Orleans, portending an ominous outcome. History has not devoted a great deal of attention to the fall of New Orleans, a Civil War drama that was an early harbinger of the dark days to come for the Confederacy. In A Mortal Blow to the Confederacy: The Fall of New Orleans, 1862, historian Mark F. Bielski tells of the leaders and men who fought for control of New Orleans, the largest city in the South, the key to the Mississippi, and the commercial gateway for the Confederacy.

The Match

The Day the Game of Golf Changed Forever

By: Mark Frost

In 1956, a casual bet between two millionaires eventually pitted two of the greatest golfers of the era -- Byron Nelson and Ben Hogan -- against top amateurs Harvie Ward and Ken Venturi. The year: 1956. Decades have passed since Eddie Lowery came to fame as the ten-year-old caddie to U.S. Open Champion Francis Ouimet. Now a wealthy car dealer and avid supporter of amateur golf, Lowery has just made a bet with fellow millionaire George Coleman. Lowery claims that two of his employees, amateur golfers Harvie Ward and Ken Venturi, cannot be beaten in a best-ball match, and challenges Coleman to bring any two golfers of his choice to the course at 10 a.m. the next day to settle the issue. Coleman accepts the challenge and shows up with his own power team: Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson, the game's greatest living professionals, with fourteen major championships between them. In Mark Frost's peerless hands, complete with the recollections of all the participants, the story of this immortal foursome and the game they played that day-legendarily known in golf circles as the greatest private match ever played-comes to life with powerful, emotional impact and edge-of-your-seat suspense.

Border Guards

By: Mark Sinnett

Tim Hollins wants to know who his father really was. Michael Hollins’ death was officially declared accidental, but there are too many unanswered questions, and suddenly too many dead bodies piling up around his father’s memory. John Selby also wants to know who Michael Hollins really was. The reluctant agent for the Border Vigilance Commission, an offshoot of the FBI dedicated to ferreting out potential terrorists and smugglers along the Canada–US border, Selby is now enmeshed in a deadly undercover operation. Adams Denver, however, knows exactly who Michael Hollins was. The cocky hired gun and onetime British soccer hooligan is on clean-up duty, shivering through a Thousand Islands winter on the instructions of his Russian mobster boss, Nikolai Petrovitch. And as each one uncovers a piece of the Michael Hollins puzzle, the picture becomes ever more complex. Was Michael Hollins smuggling diamonds for Petrovitch? Whose side is art dealer Hanne Kristiansen, John Selby’s former girlfriend, really on, or is she simply a mule for Petrovitch? And will Tim Hollins be the last man standing in what is quickly turning into a violent game of elimination? The Border Guards is a cinematic story filled with grit and violence, its tale of corruption and betrayal bloodying the chill of a Toronto winter and the frozen waters of the Thousand Islands wilderness. A novel that will take its place beside the thrillers of Ian Rankin and Andrew Pyper, The Border Guards marks the accomplished debut of a talented Canadian writer.

Alive! and Unstoppable

How to Break Free from Dark Shadows

By: Mark Dale Miles

On a balmy summer evening, Mark Dale Miles headed home after work, unaware that his life was about to be irrevocably changed. That night he was attacked by a group of young men in a brutal home invasion. He was shot in the head at close range and left for dead. For seven days, Mark clung to life trapped in a dark, empty apartment, praying for an intervention. When he was finally rescued and rushed to the hospital, doctors informed him that he had permanent brain damage. He would never be able to work or live independently again. But Mark was determined to prove that diagnosis wrong. He overcame seemingly insurmountable obstacles to reclaim his life, eventually earning two masters degrees and becoming a substance abuse counselor. On this long road to recovery, Mark developed a system for transformational living, which combines spiritual principles with the tools he learned in substance abuse recovery. The result is a step-by-step guide to becoming unstoppable in life. According to Mark, the trauma we experience in our darkest times can be used as a catalyst to propel each of us out of an ordinary life into an extraordinary life. The tools that he shares in this book can help us all be transformed and renewedable to experience our biggest dreams, our highest purpose, and a life that we love.

Naughty

The Story of a Football Hooligan Gang

By: Mark Chester

In 1985, forty hooligan followers of Stoke City FC experienced a riotous trip to Portsmouth - and the Naughty Forty was born. It became one of the most notorious soccer gangs in Britain.Mark Chester was a founder member of the N40. Already a hardened fighter, he had been expelled from school after an unsettled childhood and joined the Staffordshire Regiment, only to be discharged for misconduct. Stoke City's emerging 'casual' mob became his family. 'Right or wrong, I was ready to be a committed football hooligan,' he says.He recounts tales of raucous coach trips from the Glebe pub and the pivotal clashes with the likes of Everton, Manchester United and West Ham that defined the new firm. Formidable characters came to the forefront, men like the giant Mark Bentley, Philler the Beast and the legendary Miffer, while hair-raising clashes with the likes of Millwall, Spurs, Aston Villa and Manchester City saw the gang's reputation spread.The N40 code was simple: whatever the odds, they would always make a stand. Many times they fought when heavily outnumbered yet often came out on top. They developed a closeness and cohesion rare among the football gangs. Loyalty was their watchword.Soon they were joined by the Under-Fives, a younger element determined to win acceptance from the terrace legends they admired and who carved out their own niche as well as fighting side by side with the old-school heads.Police operations, bans from the ground and the introduction of ID schemes have prevented many from attending games, but the author, long 'retired' from the scene, argues that in the new millennium the gangs are back - and as ferocious as ever. NAUGHTY is essential reading for anyone wishing to understand the illicit but seductive lure of terrace combat, the emotional ties of a gang and the addictive buzz of Saturday afternoons.
