A Fleeting Glimpse of Paradise
Price range: $3.99 through $45.99If ever there were an expert in the history, beauty, and overall best places to visit in Hawaii, Craig E. Burgess would be that person. His first visit to the islands was in 1974, the first of forty-one in total!
Providing a glimpse of Hawaiian culture, history, music, art, and daily lifestyles to the reader, A Fleeting Glimpse of Paradise was inspired by Craig’s time spent with special residents of Hawaii who shared a special “Spirit of Aloha” during his forty-one visits to the islands. His hope is that during your visit, you spend time with local residents of the islands and “talk story” with them, rather than simply going there for an “Aloha” shirt, flower lei, or some other souvenir.
This beautiful collection of anecdotes, inspired poems, and special stories you can’t get from travel books encourages readers to find ways to conserve the natural beauty of the islands-and to make the very best of their experience in this magical utopia.

The Search: A Historian’s Search for Historical Jesus
Price range: $3.99 through $30.99The Search is neither predominately scholarly, historical, nor inspirational. Rather, it is a book that seeks to understand why Jesus said what he said and did what he did in light of the fact that he was not only a loyal Galilean Jew but he was also a loyal Roman subject, who was probably educated in Greco-Roman influenced schools, who probably worked under the authority of Roman administrators, who ministered under the protection of Roman officials, and who died as a enemy of Rome as mandated by Roman law. The book is not intended to present Jesus in any lesser light than that of deity. Yet, within the context of known Greco-Roman history, customs, philosophies, and manners of the time in which Jesus lived and ministered. It attempts to show under what circumstances his ministry and popularity grew and flourished in Roman Mare Nostrum and then floundered. The Search is historical in that it portrays the life of Jesus as it was in Roman Mare Nostrum East. It is scholarly in that it confirms each Gospel recorded event with non-biblical authenticating documentation. It is inspirational in that it assumes that the Gospel records are the most accurate records available about the life of Jesus and that the word and deeds recorded in the Gospel narratives have been preserved for two millennia because they were the narratives that God felt would be most spiritually beneficial to this Current generation. This book will attempt to discover Jesus’ life by filling in the empty center between birth and death by reaching beyond the bare bones skeleton of historical Jesus and alighting upon the fully developed historical epic of Jesus-the loyal Jewish Roman
subject of Roman Mare Nostrum East.

Short Timer
Price range: $3.99 through $26.99Short-Timer is a small part of the history of the Vietnam War; America’s longest war where for the first time, men of every ethnic background and color fought together side by side in fully integrated units. It is the story of one individual’s survival in a war where flashing the peace sign was perfectly acceptable, while waving a clinched fist in the air, the Black Power symbol, was a court martial offense. At times, it’s a frightening account of how, during combat, men bonded as one to fight the enemy, while back at base camps, the realities of the sixties caught up with everyone and whites openly called blacks “nigger” while blacks angrily cursed “honkies”.
It is centered around one Marine’s experiences in the service during troubled times. The story follows the Marine from boot camp to his tour in Vietnam. It graphically illustrates the suffering and horrors that are a part of war and the sense of humor necessary for survival under such adverse conditions. The plight of innocent, little children who are far too often the biggest victims of war, is brought home all too clearly by the central character’s encounter with a Frenchman who runs an orphanage in Da Nang.
The reader is exposed to all the realities of combat in a crazy war that by 1970 had clearly begun to mean very little to those who served except surviving the war and returning to the “real world”. For the central character in Short-Timer, his tour is cut short by President Nixon’s Phase I Pull Out from Vietnam. The central character’s war experiences take on an added craziness when he is forced to commit one last, horrifying act of war just a few hours prior to his scheduled departure from Vietnam. It is apparent that the life of the central character and all those he served with will never be the same after having survived the Vietnam War.
Short-Timer blends all aspects of life in a memorable story, too authentic for comfort. It is sensitive, tough, gutsy, draws the reader in, makes them
expend emotion and doesn’t let go.

Paradise in Ruins: A Novel (View) of the Pacific War
Price range: $3.99 through $26.99Paradise in Ruins offers readers a look at the Pacific Theater of World War Two by introducing them to military and naval leaders from both sides of the conflict, as well as local populations of the Pacific islands whose lives were suddenly disrupted by the brutal events that exploded eastward from Japan in 1941.
Perhaps you had family members among the many thousands of young men and women who got transported across the Pacific Ocean to those mysterious islands that they were ordered to recapture from the Japanese.
If you have occasionally wondered what Grandpa (or Grandma) did in the war, you are not alone. The generation that experienced World War Two is notorious for not speaking about what they saw and learned in that previously unimagined multilingual, multicultural environment. They just didn’t know how to describe their adventures to loved ones at home afterwards, so they chose silence instead.

Pirates, Privateers, and the U.S. Navy
Price range: $3.99 through $25.99The primary problem of the American Colonies in their quest to win independence from Great Britain was not the British Army, though it was formidable. Instead, it was how to deal with the overwhelming might of the British Navy. The Continental Congress had no ships and no taxing authority to fund the creation of nay in 1775. The first U.S Navy was a combination of the few merchants ships Congress was able to acquire and a large number of privateers who joined the cause of independence. The privateers were privately owned and operated by individuals and business. By the end of the war there were more than 2000 of them. The British called them pirates. From the Boston Tea Party to the battle of the U.S.S Bonhomme Richard with the British man-of-war, the H.M.S Serapis, this is their story.

Through the grandfather’s storytelling, the boy learns of his own rich and colorful history-his great-grandfather’s involvement in the Underground Railroad, his great-grandmother’s journey from Africa to America, and the multitude of changes that took place before and during the Civil War.
Of Days Gone By is delightful and informative reading. One will walk away from the novel with the knowledge that African-Americans have a valuable legacy well worth passing on to their own children.

World War 2- Opening Gambits: The Manstein Alternative: Part 3
Price range: $4.99 through $23.99The relationship between the Catholic Entente (France, Italy, Spain, and Portugal) and the United Kingdom is a powder keg and South America provides the spark.

The United Kingdom orders reprisals and the Catholic Entente uses them as an excuse to go to war. At sea, the Entente attack concentrates on the oil tankers that power the United Kingdom’s factories. On land, they work to close off the Mediterranean Sea and overrun the resources of Africa. A rebellion in Quebec cuts even further into the resources that Great Britain desperately needs. The League of Nations, led by the USA and USGA, is trying to end the war with economic sanctions. Erich von Manstein tries to end the war between his Central Coalition and the USSR before the Catholic Entente decides to turn their gaze in Germany’s direction. Things look grim for the United Kingdom until they get help from an unexpected direction. Even with the help, the British Isles face a cold and bitter winter as their own actions anger potential allies.

At the end of the book, there are several appendices that present lists of men for various times. The names are listed chronologically first and then alphabetically.

A Negro Death: Minstrelsy: An African American Experience in the Development of Black Popular Culture:A Socio-Cultural Story of the African American Blues Experience during Ante Bellum and Reconstruction: Volume 1
Price range: $3.99 through $22.99DEATH OF THE NEGRO volume 1
“The ancestors of the Negro in America brought their songs with them into slavery”
[Negro Music in New York – a chronological survey”. Federal Writers Project, 1936-38.]
During the period of the antebellum south, “Sorrow-songs” or “Escapist songs” were placed in a similar category to the unpardonable songs because they were freedom songs that applied the same minor traditional tones from Africa as the songs already hated by the master. Later, at the beginning of the 20th Century, Spirituals and Sorrow songs were confused as coming out of the same whishes by collectors and religious apologists.
Please remember that many to the communities forcibly migrated from Africa were familiar with Hymns because of their immigration from Egypt thousands of years before. What we hear today is, all of the song were performed in what are referred to as “the blues”. As stated by Gellert, this music was brought from Africa with the,. This music was adapted to the current circumstances and has continued until the present.
The intellectual nature of these Escapists compositions was never promoted. Thus, because of how the actual songs were sung, the intent of the lyrics was not understood. Only Gellert understood the use of the word Escapist as a metaphor of “Sorrow Songs” urging the populous to take the Underground Railroad to escape to freedom. Freedom represented the name avoided.
The idea in giving this lecture as a narration/dialogue play short story is to create a setting in which the scholar learners may visualize the conditions people lived. The point is to use a lyric poet to speak about the feeling the oppressed poor felt during the time these songs were composed and delivered. The accompanying lyric post is an African American blues singer. This lyric poet comes from particular reference points because his lyrics are universal to all poor people of the world.

Volume 2: A Negro Death: The Jazz Age: An African American Experience in the Development of Black Popular Culture: A Socio-Cultural Story of the African American Blues Experience during Post-Reconstruction to the Renaissance: A Progression and Modernization of the African Cultural Form
Price range: $15.99 through $22.99With the great Liberation War ending in 1865 C.E., ‘slave narratives’ immediately became the source of information for scholars who studied Black Life and Culture. After William Allen, et al, published the “Slave Songs of The United States,” Scholars searched for narratives to uncover how the slave lived. The purposes were usually noble in chat they were truly interested in black popular culture. The result of this interest was, many allowed the slaves to tell the story of suffering and depravation, i.e., the narrative, without the interference of another voice. For many scholars the intent was to speak to some moral issues affecting the treatment of the slave.
The political economy that depended on agricultural production and the use of slave labor produced the most ideal time and space for the evolution of a musical form Paul Laurence Dunbar will promote 1890 book series of poems. Although Dunbar has already produced the musical form of Blues-In-Print with his lyrics entitled, “Blue, Dirge, Lament, e.g., “Pickin’ off De Cotton”, Ware and W.C Handy will be credited with giving “Blues” its name. What makes this information so vital, is all of the preconditions existed for “Devil’s Songs” [Blues form] to grow, expand and evolve during this epoch.
Africans as people in bondage occupied the least favored position. As the social commentator the lyric poet’s role was to analyze the system of slavery that kept the African Oppressed. The audience and support were there among the People in bondage. As the reader shall see, this support was later challenged on in the development of blues. By then, however, the lyric poet had already set stage for the creation of what the most favored will call ‘Black Music’.
What is Black Music? Those styles, genres, and forms that owe their existence to t he people enslaved as captives within the Americas. How did the development occur? The system of bondage was so complete and vast lyric poets were given many settings in which to materialize their works. The African cultural sensibilities as expressed through song and suicide, thus endangering the social continuity of the African.
As we are told, the Negro lived within a culture of poverty as the salve and through denial suffered a poverty of culture. As a slave, the Negro was supposed to exist without culture. This was their poverty of culture. As a slave, the Negro live in an assigned position. That position dictated the conditions under which suffering was permitted. The Negro had no other place to call home. There was no Negro land as a place of origin. Africa renamed many did not exist, except as a faraway place of origin that allowed is inhabitants to be sold into bondage. Bondage was forever.

Volume 3: Death of The Negro From The Ante Bellum To The Renaissance & Beyond: An African American Experience In The Development of Black Popular Culture: The Jazz Worker: A Blues Aesthetic Philosophy
Price range: $13.99 through $20.99Blues Aesthetics
Blues Aesthetics (Volume 3) examines Blues as an Aesthetic musical art that operates with a philosophical base rooted in the cultural forms that have developed over the centuries of African progression and transplantation to the United States during the Middle Passage. Blues Aesthetics is a construct developed out of a desire to offer Blues on the same level playing field reserved for other musical forms from other traditions.
Using European Classical Music as an example, it is assumed that this form emanates out of the European fine art tradition. That is why it has been given the name “Classical Music”. This name automatically gives one the idea the music requires the listener to be prepared to create a mode of understanding where full attention is given. I have never heard anyone state that this music does not belong to or come from Europe.
When I decided that I would treat blues as the metaphor for the study of the development and advancement of Black Popular Culture in particular and the culture of the United States in general, I wanted to have a sound basis in which to place my analysis. With blues one cannot go wrong. Why? It has chronicled the political economy of the United States of American since slavery. The analytic tool that has been used to inform this process is the Law of Position, a Position Theory. The Law of Position, a Position Theory is a paradigm that has as its basic premise, “we take as given the idea of distinction and the idea of indication, and that in order to make an indication we must make a distinction. We take therefore the form of distinction for the form.” (G. Spencer-Brown)

Return to Vietnam, The Memories: Facing my Demons and Coming to Terms With Them
Price range: $10.99 through $17.99When I was waiting to board the aircraft in Saigon in July 1968, following my 13-month tour of Vietnam, the last thing I would have expected was to come back to Vietnam. Not until forty-five years after the Vietnam War ended, I was dealing with nightmares, and was diagnosed with PTSD. I was encouraged by my counselor and others to write about my experiences from Vietnam. That resulted in my first book, You Are Never Alone. I started to have a better handle on my daily images, nightly dreams, and nightmares. It was about that time I began thinking about the possibility of returning to Vietnam to face my demons.
This book, “Return to Vietnam-The Memories,” Began a trip to face my demons. It was more than I expected, by meeting a VC soldier during peacetime and making friends with several gracious Vietnamese people. A cruise down the Mekong River brought memories of crossing the river during convoys. My main goal of the trip was to find the orphanage in MyTho where during a VC attack a couple of kids were killed. Having a knowledgeable tour guide that followed many leads to locate our objective worked endlessly. We saw where the orphanage was, which now was replaced with a school, but finding the last of the living nuns that worked at the orphanage in 1967 when the VC attacked and interacting with someone who was virtually there and remembered that day was overwhelming. Sister Renee and I visited parts for three days. This book covers the details of this fantastic trip and the results it had on me.

When Daniel Ciarletta and his father, Pete, boarded a boat in 1947 bound for Italy, to visit Pete’s ailing father, they could not have known what awaited them. Everything changed for Daniel and the Ciarletta family. Daniel was abducted and taken to Opi, a rural mountain community that had survived for centuries by sheep herding until 1943, when retreating German soldiers seized all the boys and able-bodied young men as work prisoners. Daniel soon became a work prisoner as part of a devious plan by the citizens of Opi-including the local priest who had evidentially lost his “moral compass”- to abduct young foreigners to take the place of the men they had lost. With no idea of where he was or why, and unable to speak Italian, Daniel began working in the fields and plotting his possible escape. Meanwhile, back in America, the once happy and loving Ciarletta family began to slowly disintegrate under the burden of conflict, anger and guilt caused by Daniel’s mysterious disappearance.

Colors
Price range: $3.99 through $14.50If a book can help provide a measure of insight into this dark turbulent age we find ourselves engulfed as a Nation this historical-fictitious read fits the bill. At a time when the Nation is on the brink of Moral Bankruptcy and on the verge of a second Civil War.
The truth be told Joe Valachi’s loose lips did not sink the Flag Ship and the last 4-years of the Presidency reviled where the Buck actually Stopped, proving that there are no Referees or Judges to pretend that social Just-Us and racial equality ever existed, nor will it ever prevail as long as the Red-rag blue-rag Rooster shot-calling gangster counterparts to the Crips and Bloods keep squabbling in the barnyard there can be no peace in the Hen House.
The racially charged divisive state of our Nation coupled with
the devastating fall-out from the disastrous Pandemic has caused unprecedented upheaval of a nature that what is needed is unprecedented help of a Godsend nature from the unlikeliest of Hero’s to step up to the plate.
Simply speaking this is the opportune moment for the Crips and Bloods to become Heroes not only of their perspective, concrete Jungle communities but the Nation as a whole is clearly out-of-control.
