This is the story of Constantine the Great, from youth to emperor. 
The Roman Empire is dying. Men have known it for generations. One of the symptoms is the rise of an impious sect of traitors known as Christians. At last, a strong emperor, Diocletian, is on the throne, a man with the will and the power to impose a cure. But he cannot do it alone. Inevitably, those he chooses to share his burden struggle for preferment. 
To one of these men is born a child, Constantine. For a decade, the boy is sheltered from the world by his loving mother. Then, at age eleven, he is thrust into the cauldron of court life, where the lust for power causes men to plot, to scheme, to kill, to assure themselves of Diocletian's favor. 
At court, Diocletian soon notices young Constantine's outstanding mental and physical abilities. But being singled out by the emperor means, inevitably, that the boy is hated by jealous men. Death stalks him. As he grows to manhood and begins his career as a soldier, he must use all his intelligence and all his strength to preserve his life. 
Before him lies the Imperial purple, stained with the blood of countless thousands, and with the purple, the power to transform the world.

Blood and the Imperial Purple

Rangoussis, Steven

This book depicts the advance from the inferno of hatred and despair in 1940 to the paradise of fraternity and fulfillment in 2025. It also suggests positive attitudes and activities, which would promote this transition. This story involves several individuals of various nationalities and their activities from 1940 to 2025. The current events, based on true, personal experiences of the writer, give way to anticipated, desirable, future developments with fictional, utopian overtones. The book is an original, thoughtful, visionary message, a faith, a prophetic but rational and realistic plan which can be pursued.

From back cover: A fascinating book, rich in detail and lore. An entrance into a world so magical and unlikely that every page is a new episode full of real swashbuckling, nasty critters (human) and the roiling history of the big bad river.
