The Outrage
by Michael Kopiec

Misha was a Holocaust survivor, but his story is unlike any you've ever heard. The child of a WWI cavalry officer, he was a rare Jewish graduate of the military academy of Poland, and his first command put him on the German border at the moment of the Nazi invasion. He survived the blitzkrieg only to find soon afterward that tens of thousands of retreating Polish soldiers were about to be trapped. Their only hope was a suicide mission whose objective was to delay the lightning advance of Nazi forces. Volunteering to lead that mission, Misha's group was successful, but he was the only known survivor.

So begins the incredible story of a person who survived not because he hid successfully, was included on a list, or happened to be in the right place at the right time. This is the story of a man who survived despite repeatedly being in the wrong place, at precisely the worst possible moment.

Raised to be a man who would never compromise his humanity, when Misha became convinced the world was abandoning his people and his family to Nazi genocide, he didn't run or hide, but declared personal war on the Nazis as he struggled to save the ones he loved.

 

Prophets and Frauds
by Edward Oliver

Who are the true prophets, and who are the frauds? From Noah to Nostradamus, the ancient Hebrew prophets have constantly tried to warn us about future events, but no one ever believed them. All the world’s greatest prophets were rejected by the most respected religious and scientific authorities of their time. Modern scientists are still assuring us that it is impossible for man to see into the future. So what about Bible prophecy is that also myth and fantasy? If you’d like to learn more about how ancient prophecies actually compared to real historical events, then you will greatly enjoy reading this scientific examination of the famous world events predicted by ancient Hebrew prophets. On regular 500 year intervals from 4000 BC to the present, we have been visited by these great Hebrew prophets who have accurately predicted the course of world history. You’ll be amazed to find out how much scientific and historical data actually supports the claims of both the ancient, and modern, Hebrew prophets.

Mexico’s Roswell
by Ruben Uriarte and Noe Torres

On August 25, 1974, along the Rio Grande River near the Texas border town of Presidio, a thunderous explosion in the sky shattered the stillness of the warm summer night. An unidentified flying disc traveling at 2,000 miles per hour collided with a small airplane heading south from El Paso, Texas. The flaming wreckage of both aircraft fell to the Mexican desert below, igniting a desperate race by two governments to recover technology from beyond the stars.
