More than a decade in the making, his sweeping prose relies almost exclusively upon original archival research and his personal knowledge of the terrain. Told largely through the words of those who fought there, Brandywine will take its place as one of the most important military studies of the American Revolution ever written.

Colonists were willing to risk their lives for freedom, and the Declaration of Independence made that official.

And this is because I only thought Pablo Escobar to be a drug dealer who just happened to make a lot of money. However, the more I learned about Pablo Escobar, the more I realized that he was a man of many faces.

In Party of One, Investigative journalist Michael Harris gives us an intimate look at Stephen Harper and draws a portrait of a prime minister whose policies and instincts, Harris believes, are a clear and present danger to Canada's democracy. Fueled by the election victory of May 2011, unchecked by the opposition, the staggering gap between Stephen Harper's stated political principles and his practices starkly drive Harris' arguments home.
