Last Bridge to Nowhere Click Picture of Cover for Larger View Prewitt, Frank $17.95 The Department of Justice is entering its sixth year investigating and prosecuting one of the biggest cases of political corruption in U.S. history. At issue is the high stakes game of taxing and developing an Alaska gas pipeline and the toxic slick of political corruption that coated the process. Wired for light and sound, the author embarks on an incredible journey into the undercover world of FBI surveillance and the corroding influence of special interest, money and power. Last Bridge To Nowhere is a disturbingly humorous tale that exposes the underside of power politics, offering thoughtful observations on character, responsibility and public trust. But the pages turn more like a season special of Desperate Housewives Go To Washington: political intrigue and provocative crime, tossed and served in a delicious wrap of irreverence. You'll laugh, you may even cry, but you don't want to miss this book. Last Phoenix Click Picture of Cover for Larger View Nielson, Doug $29.95 LAST PHOENIX chronicles the transition of an American boy next door into a soulless predator in the veritable and emotional jungle of irregular warfare, betrayal, madness, and revenge. It is the story of Karl Isaacson, a heart-of-America boy who believed in the rightness of his country. In the end, like his great country, he was betrayed and humiliated—and he got even. This is an all-too-true fictional account of one agent in the CIA's Phoenix Program against the civilians of South Viet Nam during the War in Viet Nam—the irregular, hidden, dirty little war. He learned that Phoenix lived on after the war, and then, he became the LAST PHOENIX. Leaves of the Forest Click Picture of Cover for Larger View Grejalvo, Frieda $12.95 The period of change in the Midwest territories during the early to mid 1800s has been depicted in many ways, from many acutely different aspects. But there has been little attention paid to the plight of Indian families caught in the social upheaval of the times. These memories were passed from generation to generation, based of facts, as they knew them. Actual incidents, experienced by themselves, or persons known to them, during a trying and fearful time. Many historic recordings would have been drastically altered had there been the smallest change in circumstance. Determined to have a family, Man Alone created his ideal family and became possessive and protective of all its members. These ideals were shared and passed on to following generations. The family stubbornly fought to stay together, joined forever, no matter what. It was a matter of pride and resolution, beyond customs, language, origin, color, or any other difference, they would not be separated. To love, marry, birth, fight and even die to preserve the family, its bond and way of life. Legacy of the Chief Click Picture of Cover for Larger View Simpson, Ron $34.95 This is a Native story of Chief Nicolai of Taral and the people of the 'Atna'tuuts'itu at the time of the prospecting, development, and operation of the historic Kennecott Copper Company and its Copper River and Northwestern Railway of Alaska in the years 1885 until 1938. Nicolai was born at a Native encampment somewhere near the confluence of Dan Creek and the Chitistone River to the southeast of the Nicolai Prospect. There can be little doubt as to the enormous impact Nicolai had on the history starting with Lt. Henry Allen's entry into the country in 1885. The clash of cultures continues to this day, largely at the expense of the rural Natives. The Ahtna Indians remain rooted to the land, still observing many of the old traditions, especially that of the potlatch, as well as a more modern form of subsistence which relies heavily on the use of the Columbia River fishwheel. Native families remain firmly rooted to the land. This is the only land they have ever known. Just as Nicolai was so fond of reminding everyone, the Ahtna people were here in the beginning and the Ahtnas will still be here at the very end of humanity itself.
