Russia: A History

Spiritual Warfare
Published in 1989, Spiritual Warfare is Sara Diamond's penetrating exposé of the Religious Right and its growing influence over U.S. politics. With investigative precision, Diamond uncovers the networks of propagandists, fundraisers, and ideologues who have shaped some of the most regressive domestic and foreign policies of the era. Far from a grassroots moral movement, the Religious Right emerges in these pages as a coordinated political force?deeply embedded in media, government, and international affairs. Diamond reveals how this alliance of theocratic ambition and political strategy has helped normalize authoritarianism, anti-feminism, and militarism under the guise of ?family values? and freedom. A foundational text in the study of religion and power in America, Spiritual Warfare remains a vital read for anyone seeking to understand the intersection of faith, politics, and empire.

In Light of the Moon, New York Times bestselling author Luanne Rice delivers a spellbinding story set within a breathtaking landscape where secrets and revelations have the power to change lives forever.
The Tsars
The tsars of Russia reigned as absolute monarchs long past the time when the authority of other sovereigns had been curtailed. Here, historian Alexander Ivanov reveals their fears and betrayals, privilege and debauchery, conspiracies and rivalries, love and tragedy as they forged Russia into one of the world's greatest empires. No ruler in history has embodied the oppressive domination of these rulers more vividly than Alexander Ivanov's opening subject, Tsar Ivan IV, the first of all the Russian tsars, known to history as Ivan the Terrible. Although a gifted ruler who did much to unite and improve the conditions in his primitive country, Ivan was also a notorious sadist who delighted in tor...
