National Book Award winner: This story of a family torn apart by the Vietnam era is “a magnificent portrayal of two noble men who broke each other’s hearts” (Booklist). James Carroll grew up in a Catholic family that seemed blessed. His father, who had once dreamed of becoming a priest, instead began a career in J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI, rising through the ranks and eventually becoming one of the most powerful men in the Pentagon, the founder of the Defense Intelligence Agency. Young Jim lived a privileged life, dating the daughter of a vice president and meeting the pope—all in the shadow of nuclear war, waiting for the red telephone to ring in his parents’ house. James fulfilled the goal his father had abandoned, becoming a priest himself. His feelings toward his father leaned toward worship as well—until the tumult of the 1960s came between them. Their disagreements, over Martin Luther King, Jr. and the civil rights movement; turmoil in the Church; and finally, Vietnam—where the elder Carroll chose targets for US bombs—began to outweigh the bond between them. While one of James’s brothers fled to Canada, another was in law enforcement ferreting out draft dodgers. James, meanwhile, served as a chaplain at Boston University, protesting the war in the streets but ducking news cameras to avoid discovery. Their relationship would never be the same again. Only after Carroll left the priesthood to become a writer, and a husband with children of his own, did he begin to understand fully the struggles his father had faced. In An American Requiem, the New York Times bestselling author of Constantine’s Sword and Christ Actually offers a benediction, in “a moving memoir of the effect of the Vietnam War on his family that is at once personal and the story of a generation . . . at once heartbreaking and heroic, this is autobiography at its best” (Publishers Weekly).

When Eduardo "Eddie" Encinas decides to run for Congress in a Southern Arizona district, he knows he can never match the fund raising operation of his opponent, six term incumbent Congresswoman Felicia Martin. But he has a lot of faith in "Eddie's Army", the coalition of young Native American and Hispanic activists which first came together to support him during his tenure as County Commissioner, and who now staff his campaign. With the Congressional race playing out against a backdrop of ancient Native American prophecy, Eddie discovers on election night undeniable evidence of nationwide vote counting fraud. Before he can decide what to do, he finds his "Army" putting down their brochures and signs and picking up weapons in an attempt to save not just his campaign, but seven hundred years of Democracy in America.

Book Three, American Requiem, is a complex tale involving four independent stories in one. A continuation of the saga from books one and two, it incorporates a long lost family diary from the Second World War in North Africa and southern Europe. The journal functions like a time portal into the past as it's read by eldest brother Julius Stansfield, while involved with his two brothers on a CIA mission to Italy in the near future. Julius learns emotional secrets about his paternal grandparents in the US Army Medical Corps during 1943-44. He also gets a privileged insight into the young life of his father, then Lieutenant Julian Stansfield, from the summer of 1975 as the lieutenant spends time caring for his dying mother, Ann Nelson Stansfield. Four parallel stories are carefully interwoven to better illustrate the love between different generations of Stansfields during separate critical times of their lives.

"How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken!How is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!" (Jer. 50:23)The "Hammer of the Whole Earth," the "Hindermost of Nations," the "MightyBabylon" will be destroyed in the end times (Jeremiah 50:12-13, 23, 27). Is that thefuture that awaits America? Have the decisions made by our government and financialleaders established a devastating destiny for America? Has the deteriorating moralityof the nation sealed our fate? Will we decay from within or be destroyed fromwithout? There are many modern-day prophetic voices such as Jonathan Cahn, the lateDumitru Duduman, and the late David Wilkinson, that proclaim our fate is sealed...America lies at the edge of oblivion. Soon we will be a desert and a wasteland. In this book, S. Douglas Woodward, a leading authority on the intersection of Bibleprophecy and geopolitics, confirms the validity of the predictions. He speaks to whyAmerica is at the precipice, now ready to collapse, and will soon fulfill many OldTestament prophecies concerning the Daughter of Babylon."For, lo, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly of great nationsfrom the north country: and they shall set themselves in array against her" (Jer. 50:9)

American Requiem offers a penetrating expose of the corruption, lying, cheating and self-dealing that pervades our government at all levels. The text presents a collection of essays chronicling the disastrous actions of Obama, the treasonous attempts to destroy Trump and the demonstrably stupid, but intentionally destructive policies of the Biden Administration, leading to socialism and catastrophe. A must read for all concerned Americans.
