Your argument of how to protect the goose that laid the golden egg by defending freedom, civil society, and capitalism from the pernicious effects of Progressivism seems compelling to me. Moreover your account of the rise of progressivism in the U.S.is must reading for anyone who would take a stand on political issues. And no one who reads your accounts of the rise and fall of free-people-free market models of government in other societies can fail to agree with you about the value of government allowing the market to operate as freely as possible. It is a very informative summary of an enormous amount of data that I have not seen elsewhere, and a powerful empirical argument. - Phillip Scribner, Associate Professor of Philosophy Emeritus, American University

Eternal Vigilance? seeks to offer reinterpretations of some of the major established themes in CIA history such as its origins, foundations, its treatment of the Soviet threat, the Iranian revolution and the accountability of the agency. The book also opens new areas of research such as foreign liaison, relations with the scientific community, use of scientific and technical research and economic intelligence. The articles are both by well-known scholars in the field and young researchers at the beginning of their academic careers. Contributors come almost equally from both sides of the Atlantic. All draw, to varying degrees, on recently declassified documents and newly-available archives and, as the final chapter seeks to show, all point the way to future research.

Affirms, validates, and reiterates the yearning for an orderly, peaceful and just world The old adage “One picture is worth ten thousand words” is definitely true for Faces of Freedom Summer. There are simply not enough words to describe the period in our history that is recorded by the pictures in this book. As this book afirms, the resurgence of overt activities by hate groups—both the old traditional ones (e.g., the Ku Klux Klan) and the new ones (e.g., the Skin Heads)—however much the hard work and sacrifices of the modern civil rights movement humanized American society, much still remains to be done. The modern civil rights movement associated with the 1960s was not in vain, yet it did not eradicate from our society the evils of racism and sexism. While we activists made the United States more of an open society than it has ever been in its history, our vision and desire for the beloved community did not reach into all sectors of American society. “Freedom,” it has been said, “is a constant struggle, a work of eternal vigilance.” Faces of Freedom Summer brings to life that there was such a time and there were such people and, if such a people were once, then they are still among us. Yet, they may only become aware of themselves when they are confronted with visible evidence, such as the evidence contained in the pictures of Herbert Randall.

After a century-long Sleep, Tynan Llywelyn has awoken to find the world he once knew obliterated by a brutal war of epic proportions. In a new apocalytic society bitterly divided by magic and technology, the Tyst Empire has found that a hundred years of global domination is not enough to sate their thirst for power. They have discovered the secret of the vampire race and have designed a plan to seize their own sinister form of immortality with the help of an ancient vampiric god. The rebel uprising known as the Phuree have obtained the knowledge of Lord Cardone’s plans and have allied themselves with the remaining Immortal race. The powerful Phuree oracle, Nahalo, has had a vision that in Tynan alone lies the power to defeat the vampiric god and the dictatorship. Cast in violence and conspiracy into the mist of the bloodshed, in a world he is still struggling to define, Tynan must make the harrowing decision to save the world he so bitterly detests or stand and watch as humanity is destroyed by a primordial evil beyond all imagining...

When Tynan Llywelyn awoke after a century of Sleep he found himself tethered to a war between a global technological dictatorship and the rebel uprising it sought to crush. Tynan realized quickly that his path in this new world was to be nothing less than extraordinary, embroiled in a web of tragedy, betrayal, and blood. In the wake of the death of Lord Cardone III and the system failure of the Chronous matrix, both humanity and vampire alike now struggle to redefine themselves in societal darkness and twisted co-dependency of one another to survive their common enemy, the Tyst Empire. Tynan himself is caught in a new political war of his own. Emerging victorious from his final battle, the Immortals have appointed him to a place of power amongst their ranks. However, Tynan's desire to return to his previous path as the philosophical leader of the vampire race creates a moral and ethical divide within him, as well as a deep concern for the women he loves. Amidst a seething, unstable world where conspiracy and violence thrives in every shadow, Tynan must walk a perilous new path lest he watch the world he just saved burn to ashes around him.
