JOSHUA DOGGRELL was a well-respected police lieutenant on the Anniston, Alabama force. Interested in Southern history and identity, he was a member of the League of the South. His membership was well-known for years and had been officially declared acceptable as a right of his private citizenship. Not the slightest hint of "racism" could be found in his work or private life-far from it. He was considering resigning from the League because of tendencies he did not agree with. Then, in June 2015 he was subjected to a hit piece "exposure" by the notorious Southern Poverty Law Center. Without his knowledge he was fired the next day by the mayor at a press conference, in disregard of all the legal personnel policy requirements. In thoughtful retrospect Doggrell, in DOXED, describes the injuries inflicted on his life and family by the city's action and the lack of integrity and honesty on the part of public officials at every level.Doxing, the calculated destruction of private life of individuals by Woke organisations zealous in suppressing freedom of opinion, has now been inflicted on numerous Americans. It can be done to anyone at any time. Doggrell's book lets us know about this awful reality.

H.V. TRAYWICK JR. IS A VIRGINIAN-the real thing. He is a graduate of the Virginia Military Institute with a history degree from the University of Richmond and is now retired from long service as a tugboat captain on Chesapeake Bay.This, his most recent book, is a meditation on his frequent long drives along the shadowy line of the Union/Confederate border from Virginia to Kansas. He has made the journey in fulfilment of kinship responsibility. ALONG THE SHADOW LINE is an interesting reflection on the American past and present as seen by a Southerner well steeped in our history. The account is spatial, temporal, historical, and spiritual. It is a heritage American's view of our disintegrating and alien society and the price the South has paid for belonging to that society. In earlier memoirs Traywick covered his time as an officer in Vietnam (Road Gang: A Memoir of Engineering Service in Vietnam) and his period of questing and traveling afterward (Starlight on the Rails: A Vietnam Veteran's Long Road Home). Traywick's previous books include The Empire of Owls, The Virginia Iliad, A Southern Soldier Boy, The Monumental Truth, Of Apostates and Scapegoats, and The Woke Revolution, among others.

As war loomed in March 1861, President Jefferson Davis sent Ambrose Dudley Mann on an important diplomatic mission abroad to seek recognition of the Confederate States of America from the chief European powers. When the war ended four years later, Mann took up residence in France and stayed there as a voluntary exile for the rest of his life. In Paris, and at his country estate in Chantilly, he kept up a correspondence with Davis and other friends. Most of Mann's papers have been lost to history, but this book presents a newly discovered collection of his letters written from 1867 to 1879. They are deeply personal writings revealing a personality dominated by two great earthly passions, the first of which was an independent South, and the second, a beautiful widow from South Carolina, Mrs. Susan Sparks Keitt, to whom all the letters are addressed. Mann writes of other ex-Confederates in Paris, Reconstruction politics in America, the horrific conditions in Paris when the city was under siege during the Franco-Prussian War, and visits by his treasured friend Jefferson Davis. Mrs. Davis wrote that the two men loved each other "like David and Jonathan, until extreme old age." Mann also cherished Mrs. Keitt until his death, and his letters are a testament of his devotion to her and his beloved South.

From the authors of THE SOUTH WAS RIGHT! comes a new edition of what one historian calls one of the most important and original histories of the Southern people.  PUNISHED WITH POVERTY tells the unvarnished story of the intentional policy of economic devastation and exploitation of the South which has affected all Southerners, both black and white, long after the close of the "Civil War" and "Reconstruction." In fact, the sad legacy of these punitive policies continues to this very day. The over-arching theme of Southern history is not Race, as is conventionally stated, but Poverty-poverty not due to the South''s shortcomings but imposed on them by the system under which they live.PUNISHED WITH POVERTY is a timely and much needed contribution to the understanding of both the South and the nature of the "Federal Empire" under which all Americans now live.COMMENTS ON PUNISHED WITH POVERTY"If enough Southerners would read and take to heart Punished with Poverty, it would bring about a revolution in American politics."  - Dr. Clyde N. Wilson, author, publisher, and "Godfather" of Southern History"Long known for their intellectual fearlessness, the best-selling authors of The South Was Right examine the roots of Southern poverty and the continuing struggle between the Southern culture-Bible believing, conservative and pro-Constitution-and the Federal Empire, which seeks to expand its power and stifle and restrict individual liberty at every opportunity. This eye-opening book focuses on the economic aspects of that struggle (but not exclusively) and should be required reading in every American history course in this country. . ."  - Dr. Samuel Mitcham, author of It Wasn''t About Slavery: Exposing the Great Lie of the Civil War and The Greatest Lynching in American History: New York 1863"As the Kennedy''s have explained in this impressive book, the Confederate dead were not the only Southerners buried by the War. Lincoln''s ''New America'' foisted years of poverty on the South and her people, which is why for generations more Southerners considered Reconstruction a greater calamity than the War itself. This book will certainly open your eyes." - Brion McClanahan, Ph.D, author of Southern Scribblings and 9 Presidents Who Screwed Up America"The numerous photographs of Southern sharecroppers in grinding poverty, malnourished and disease-ridden, along with dirty ragged children, are heart-wrenching. Punished with Poverty shows that their suffering was the deliberate policy of the Federal Government controlled by Northerners who had made their intentions toward the South clear from the beginning: ''We mean to conquer them, Subjugate them,'' make them ''find poverty at their firesides, and see privation in the anxious eyes of mothers and the rags of children.'' This book is thoroughly researched and documented and it corrects many egregious untruths promoted by the politically correct. It is a lively read with a strong bibliography and valuable addenda. It greatly enhances one''s understanding of the causes of the War Between the States, and the enormous suffering in its aftermath." - Gene Kizer, Jr, author of Slavery Was Not the Cause of the War Between the States, The Irrefutable Argument
