There was never a more terrible time for Jews in Europe than from 1938 to 1945. The Nazis had overrun a great deal of the continent, bent on the domination of the world and the annihilation of an entire people. The death camps, unknown to most outside Europe, claimed more than six millions Jews during that time. Some endured -- and most have breathtaking stories of survival. Why they survived when so many perished is a matter of coincidence, luck, the will to live and the courage and sacrifice of many others. The full scope of that sacrifice will never be completely chronicled, it is just too vast. "Good-bye for Always, The Triumph of the Innocents" is the story of the youngest members of the Widerman family, who moved to Paris from Poland, only to be caught up in the horror of the Nazi occupation. In 1942, Cecile and Betty Widerman began a journey into the belly of the worst beast mankind has to offer. For two years they were literally one step ahead of death, as Nazi cruelty sought to envelop them as it had millions of others. How they survived, why they survived and who nearly gave their own lives to protect them is a story of inspiration and will that is sure to live forever.

In 1947, James Hickman shot and killed the landlord he believed was responsible for a tragic fire that took the lives of four of his children on Chicago’s West Side. But a vibrant defense campaign, exposing the working poverty and racism that led to his crime, helped win Hickman’s freedom. With a true-crime writer’s eye for suspense and a historian’s depth of knowledge, Joe Allen unearths the compelling story of a campaign that stood up to Jim Crow well before the modern civil rights movement had even begun. As deteriorating housing conditions and an accelerating foreclosure crisis combine to form a hauntingly similar set of circumstances to those that led to the Hickman case, Allen’s book restores to prominence a previously unknown story with profound relevance today.

The Package King: A Rank and File History of UPS

If the 20th Century was the American Century, it was also UPS's Century. Joe Allen's The Package King tears down the Brown Wall surrounding one of America's most admired companies—United Parcel Service (UPS). The company that we see everyday but know so little about. How did a company that began as a bicycle messenger service in Seattle, Washington become a global behemoth? How did it displace General Motors, the very symbol of American capitalism, to become the largest, private sector, unionized employer in the United States? And, at what cost to its workers and surrounding communities? Will it remain the Package King in the 21st Century or will be dethroned by Amazon?

Humanity is consumed by relentless transformation &nbsp; Like a thief in the night, artificial intelligence has inserted itself into our lives. It makes important decisions for us every day. Often, we barely notice.&nbsp;As Joe Allen writes in this groundbreaking book, "Transhumanism is the great merger of humankind with the Machine. At this stage in history, it consists of billions using smartphones. Going forward, we'll be hardwiring our brains to artificial intelligence systems."&nbsp; The world-famous robot, Sophia, symbolizes a rising techno-religion. She takes her name from the goddess--or&nbsp;Aeon--whose fall from grace is described in the&nbsp;Gnostic&nbsp;Gospels. &nbsp; With an academic background in both science and theology, Allen confronts the paradox of what he calls "good people constructing a digital abomination."&nbsp;Dark Aeon&nbsp;is nothing less than a&nbsp;cri de coeur&nbsp;for humanity itself. He takes us on a roller coaster ride through history and the emergence of Scientism, and from government-mandated mRNA vaccines to the weird visions of cyborg billionaires like Elon Musk.&nbsp; &nbsp; From Silicon Valley to China, these globalists' visions of humanity's future, exposed and described in&nbsp;Dark Aeon, are dire and terrifying.&nbsp;But Joe Allen argues that humanity's salvation is within our grasp. Only if we refuse to avert our eyes from the impending twilight before us.&nbsp; &nbsp;

Since Donald Trump launched his presidential campaign in June 2015, Fascism has reared its ugly head with the predictable results of a rise in hate crimes, the murder and physical assaults on anti-Fascist activists, and a worsening political environment for religious and racial minorities in the United States. “We have been awakened,” a far-right activist recently told New Yorker journalist Evan Osnos soon after Trump announced his presidential bid. We need to push them back underneath the rocks they came from. Knowing our history is vital part of the struggle to defeat them. This book is a collection of several articles on the history of Fascism and anti-Fascism in the United States in the 1930s. They came to be out of my curiosity, largely in response to growth of European Fascism especially in Greece a few years ago, and the initial response to the Trump presidential campaign. I hope they provide some historical insight into the current development of Fascism and how to fight. Of all of the major capitalist nations, they United States had one of the weakest traditions of Fascism. Has this change? We shall see.
