Book excerpt: Tenth Legion has long been considered the greatest - and most hilarious - book on turkey hunting. Yet until now it was only available in a privately published edition. Many people who hunt turkeys do so with an attention to detail, a regard for strategy, tactics, and operations, and a disregard for personal comfort and convenience that ranks second only to war. As for all cultists, it never occurs to them that they may be anachronisms. Supremely unconscious of the rest of the world, blind and deaf to logic and reason, they walk along their different roads in step to the music of their different drums.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A unique and splendidly researched story, following the trials and triumphs of Julius Caesar's Legio X-arguably the most famous legion of its day-from its activation to the slogging battle of Munda and from Thapsus, Caesar's tactical masterpiece, to the grim siege of the Jewish fortress of Masada. More than a mere unit account, it incorporates the history of Rome and the Roman army at the height of their power and gory glory. Many military historians consider Caesar's legions the world's most efficient infantry before the arrival of gunpowder. This book shows why. Written in readable, popular style, Caesar's Legion is a must for military buffs and anyone interested in Roman history at a critical point in European civilization." —T. R. Fehrenbach, author of This Kind of War, Lone Star, and Comanches Stephen Dando-Collins paints a vivid and definitive portrait of daily life in the Tenth Legion as he follows Caesar and his men along the blood-soaked fringes of the Empire. This unprecedented regimental history reveals countless previously unknown details about Roman military practices, Caesar's conduct as a commander and his relationships with officers and legionaries, and the daily routine and discipline of the Legion. From penetrating insights into the mind of history's greatest general to a grunt's-eye view of the gruesome realities of war in the Classical Age, this unique and riveting true account sets a new standard of exellence and detail to which all authors of ancient military history will now aspire.

What's worse is that they are doing it all under the name of Macro and Cato, in an attempt to stir up a rebellion against the occupying forces. And it's working. If Macro and Cato don't stop the pirates in time, it could be the beginning of the end for the Roman Empire...

Book excerpt: Turkey hunting is different. The humbling of nature, found only in the season of spring, is universally understood by those who hunt wild turkeys with a burning passion. There is an associated obsession, within the souls of turkey hunters, that is distinctly different than the mindset of those pursuing deer, duck, or any other realm of wild game. This book was written to celebrate, acknowledge, and ultimately pay respect to those who embrace the sounds, feelings, and appreciations that are experienced while chasing these birds. Through a series of stories, lessons learned the hard way, and a few unfortunate situations, you will find both helpful tips and entertainment from the author's outlook toward spring turkey season as he enlightens upon his journey. Some advice and how to is also provided for turkey calling, setup strategies, camouflage patterns, roosted gobblers, and more. Through memories complied from traveling across the southeastern and central states of the US, from his hometown in Mississippi, the author seeks to cure an addiction to the outdoor lifestyle, while providing a unique understanding to the heritage, history, and fulfillment found within the swamp bottoms of public land hunting areas. Each individual chapter is a new journey while unfolding how the mind of a turkey hunter processes the spring woods and the perceptions that eventually lead the author to create what is now known as Spring Legion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unraveling the many mysteries surrounding the murder of Julius Caesar The assassination of Julius Caesar is one of the most notorious murders in history. Two thousand years after it occurred, many compelling questions remain about his death: Was Brutus the hero and Caesar the villain? Did Caesar bring death on himself by planning to make himself king of Rome? Was Mark Antony aware of the plot, and let it go forward? Who wrote Antony's script after Caesar's death? Using historical evidence to sort out these and other puzzling issues, historian and award-winning author Stephen Dando-Collins takes you to the world of ancient Rome and recaptures the drama of Caesar's demise and the chaotic aftermath as the vicious struggle for power between Antony and Octavian unfolded. For the first time, he shows how the religious festivals and customs of the day impacted on the way the assassination plot unfolded. He shows, too, how the murder was almost avoided at the last moment. A compelling history that is packed with intrigue and written with the pacing of a first-rate mystery, The Ides will challenge what you think you know about Julius Caesar and the Roman Empire.

Book excerpt: Wild Turkey hunters will be amazed to read and learn about Tom's techniques, equipment and tactics. I know I was. When Tom and I produced the DVD, it became clear to me that Tom hunts by reason not by chance. The things he does in the woods are planned and acted upon based on the land, weather, season, timing and past experience. The only odd ball thing in his method of Wild Turkey hunting is the Wild Turkey. Who, Tom described so poetically in his 1973 classic, “Tenth Legion, by saying, “the bird possesses a remarkable ability to turn arrogance into hopelessness.”
