    U.S. Marine And CIA Agent Tim Beard Preps Your Protection In Look Twice
    2026/02/01
    In a time when personal safety is increasingly top of mind, author and former CIA officer and security expert Tim Beard launches LOOK TWICE, a groundbreaking new series of three books designed to give readers the practical tools and mindset to stay alert, aware and protected in their everyday lives. Volume I, available January 27, 2026; Stillwater Books, lays the foundation with Tim’s signature “Look Twice Mindset” — a simple yet powerful approach to recognizing risks before they become threats. In Tim’s timely new books, he introduces the essential security concepts that anchor the entire series. With clear, relatable guidance, he shows readers how to stay Safe at Home and at Work, from identifying vulnerabilities to mastering basic precautions that greatly reduce risk. The book also offers step-by-step advice for navigating ordinary outings — what Tim calls Out in Town — including running errands, using ATMs and moving through public spaces confidently and safely.Recognizing that transportation plays a major role in many safety incidents, Tim devotes a full section to Transportation Awareness. Readers will learn how to stay secure while driving, riding subways, managing encounters with road rage, and more. Each chapter blends real-world insight with actionable strategies, empowering readers to make safer decisions in every environment.“Safety isn’t about fear — it’s about preparation,” says Tim. “My goal with the LOOK TWICE series is to help people build everyday habits that increase awareness, protect their families and give them peace of mind.”

  • Midnight Flyboys From Historian Bruce Henderson The American Bomber Crews And Secret Agents

    Midnight Flyboys From Historian Bruce Henderson The American Bomber Crews And Secret Agents
    2026/01/04
    The untold history of a top-secret operation in the run-up to D-Day in which American flyers and Allied spies carried out some of the most daring cloak-and-dagger operations of World War II.In 1943, the OSS-precursor to the CIA-came up with a plan to increase its support to the French resistance forces that were fighting the Nazis. To start, the OSS recruited some of the best American bomber pilots and crews to a secret airfield twenty miles west of London and briefed them on the intended mission. Given a choice to stay or leave, every airman volunteered for what became known as Operation Carpetbagger.Their dangerous plan called for a new kind of flying: taking their B-24 Liberator bombers in the middle of the night across the English Channel and down to extremely low altitudes in Nazi-occupied France to find drop zones in dark fields. On the ground, resistance members waited to receive steel containers filled with everything from rifles and hand grenades to medicine and bicycle tires. Some nights, the flyers also dropped Allied secret agents by parachute to assist the French partisans.Though their story remained classified for more than fifty years, the Carpetbaggers ultimately received a Presidential Unit Citation from the US military, which declared: "it is safe to say that no group of this size has made a greater contribution to the war effort." Along with other members of the wartime OSS, they were also awarded the Congressional Gold Medal.Based on exclusive research and interviews, the definitive story of these heroic flyers-and of the brave secret agents and resistance leaders they aided-can now be told. Written in Bruce Henderson's "spellbinding" (USA TODAY) prose, Midnight Flyboys is an astonishing tale of patriotism, courage, and sacrifice.

Michael Linnington, the USO is entering a powerful new chapter, one that honors its enduring legacy while reimagining ways to support the people who serve and their families in today’s military.Few leaders understand service and sacrifice like Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Michael Linnington. A 35-year U.S. Army veteran, he has spent his life leading soldiers and supporting their families, from the front lines to the Pentagon. After retiring from active duty, he became the first civilian director of the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency, championing the effort to bring every missing service member home. Later, as CEO of the Wounded Warrior Project, Linnington guided a major transformation that expanded programs and strengthened the nonprofit’s impact nationwide.Now, as CEO of the USO, Linnington steps in at a defining moment. In 2026, the USO will celebrate its 85th birthday as America celebrates its 250th, two milestones that highlight a shared legacy of service, resilience, and unity. Linnington’s vision is to ensure that wherever service members go, the USO goes with them. From installations and airports to ships at sea and remote deployments around the globe.

    American Heart WWI A Carnegie Hall Tribute From John Monsky
    2025/11/15
    Powerful storytelling, breathtaking music, rare and iconic archival film and images, unforgettable characters, and meticulously researched history all come together in AMERICAN HEART IN WWI: A CARNEGIE HALL TRIBUTE, a panoramic musical and visual account that brings America’s World War I story to life. Created, written and narrated by historian John Monsky and directed for the stage by Tony Award winner Michael Mayer (Spring Awakening), this show is a tribute to those who fought and those they left behind.Using F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby as a framework, which marked its 100th year since publication this year, Monsky guides the audience from the war’s origins through its harrowing climax, as seen through the wartime experiences of Fitzgerald’s fictional veterans Jay Gatsby and Nick Carraway, as well as five real-life figures from the war: soldier and music pioneer James Reese Europe, a civil rights trailblazer and Harlem Hellfighter; Vera Brittain, an Oxford student and young nurse who loses everything in the war; Charles Whittlesey, a shy New York lawyer who leads a melting pot of soldiers trapped under fire in the single biggest battle in American history; combat pilot Quentin Roosevelt, son of President Theodore Roosevelt, in love with debutante and future philanthropist Flora Payne Whitney.Filmed at Carnegie Hall in April 2025 by the Academy Award-winning RadicalMedia, this living documentary features the 60-piece Orchestra of St. Luke’s and a stellar cast — Adam Chanler-Berat (Next to Normal), Nicholas Christopher (Hamilton, Chess), Micaela Diamond (Parade), Gracie McGraw (BABE) and Diego Andres Rodriguez (Sunset Boulevard, Evita).John Monsky is the creator, writer, and narrator of the American History Unbound series. His historical productions premiere annually as part of the Carnegie Hall Presents series. Meticulously researched, Monsky’s works include 60-piece orchestras, leading Broadway vocalists, archival photography and film, and rare flags drawn from his nationally recognized collection.His most notable productions include We Chose to Go to the Moon, The Eyes of the World: From D-Day to VE Day and The Great War & The Great Gatsby (now titled American Heart in WWI: A Carnegie Hall Tribute).
