Founding Feuds: The Rivalries, Clashes, & Conflicts that Forged a Nation

By Paul Aron

Publisher: Sourcebooks

"Many thanks to the publisher for approving my request for this book, which launches in June." -C.J. Leger

Status Updates:

March 01, 2016- The style of the book is very matter-of-fact, so if you're looking for more artistic writing with influences of authoritative interpretation, this may not be the right book for you.

March 10, 2016- Most of the rivalries written about in this book encompass petty disagreements, but much like today, these petty disagreements develop into full-fledged dividing conflicts between political powers.

March 12, 2016- Founding Feuds is a very well-researched book. It lacks a bit of artistic style, but makes up for it in true matter-of-fact writing that allows the reader to explore the exact feelings of the characters during the days of the inception and creation of the United States of America.

Tyrants: The History of Power, Injustice & Terror

By Waller R. Newell

Publisher: Cambridge University Press

"Many thanks to the publisher for approving my request for this book, which launches in March." -C.J. Leger

Status Updates:

March 08, 2016- I believe this book will offer a lot of value to those following the current presidential election process that also follow world news broadcast stations and newspapers like BBC, al Jazeera and the Telegraph.

March 07, 2016- Overall, it is a strong and compelling book with adequate political analysis by Waller R. Newell, a professor of Political Science & Philosophy at Carleton University.

March 05, 2016- This book starts off by getting right to the point in its preface by stating that tyranny is a permanent part of human history - and a necessary evil that promotes democracy amongst educated and informed citizens, highlighting Vladimir Putin as the modern-day threat successor of yesterday's tyrants.
