When Jason Stevens found out he had to learn 12 lessons to maybe get an unnamed inheritance from his billionaire grandfather, he was not amused. By the time he'd finished learning the imposed lessons, he'd become a different man. Ready to tackle the duties of a running a multi-billion dollar trust, his plans for the year are once again derailed, this time by his pugnacious family.

You can't expand your wallet until you expand your mind. Becoming a millionaire is not just about all the things you want to have, but it's about the things you want to do and give. In order to climb to the financial peak, you've got to crawl out of the valley of debt. You will either voluntarily control your money now, or it will force its control on you later. The vast majority of people never arrive at their destination - not because they don't have what it takes but because they don't manage what they have.

The myth of Confederate military superiority dies hard—but it should have died at Fort Donelson. In February 1862, 13,000 Confederate soldiers surrendered in what became the largest capitulation in American military history to that point. But this wasn't a noble defeat against impossible odds. It was an "unconditional failure" of Confederate leadership so complete it bordered on the criminal. Two generals fled in the night, abandoning their troops to save their own skins. One escaped by steamboat with his personal regiments while leaving others behind. Another paddled across an icy river ...

For more than 150 years, Americans have been told a simple story about the Civil War: that the South rose as one to defend its land, its people, and its way of life. That story is a myth. The Dissenting South: Southern Opposition to the Confederacy Before and During the Civil War reveals a very different reality—a South divided against itself. In every Confederate state, men and women refused to go along with secession. They denounced rebellion, defied local authorities, and in many cases fought shoulder to shoulder with Union forces. Their courage was remarkable, their suffering immense,...

Before America won its independence on battlefields like Yorktown and Saratoga, the Revolution was fought in shadows by ordinary colonists who risked everything to gather the secrets that would birth a nation.

Enter nineteen-year-old Molly McDade, whose sharp eyes spot Tower as a Union spy the moment he stumbles into her Dover Inn. With Confederate soldiers closing in, she transforms the bumbling naval officer into "Simple Pete"—a harmless half-wit who becomes invisible to enemy eyes.
