Assault on the Vatican
A psychological novel of international intrique where in the near future, a secret organization plots to take over the Roman Catholic Church and through it the whole world. The Pope is totally unaware of the existence of this organization. A priest, the pastor of an inner city ghetto parish in Chicago, gets caught up in the organization’s plot. With the help of his friends Celine and Gene, Father Joseph Daniels (Danny to his friends) works to expose the plot and members of Viri Lucis (Men of Light) as he plumbs the depths of his own soul: his hopes and doubts, his dreams and frustrations, his loves and disillusionments. And all the while the secret organization grows stronger while Danny’s friend and mentor, Pope John Paul IV remains in the dark about the impending assault on the Vatican. “The main metaphor,” the author said, “is the contrast between practicing one’s religion and living one’s faith.
Truth Commissions
This special issue of Radical History Review looks at the different kinds of history produced by truth commissions organized to investigate political violence, state terror, and human rights violations around the globe and examines how these histories elide or confront social inequality and political violence. The essays consider the tensions implicit in the multiple mandates of truth commissions: to establish historical truths, to recognize the experiences of victims, to effect social and political reconciliation, and to reestablish the legitimacy of the nation-state at a time of market-driven globalization. The issue also addresses difficulties faced by the commissions, such as limitations...
Imperial Medicine
In 1866 Patrick Manson, a young Scottish doctor fresh from medical school, left London to launch his career in China as a port surgeon for the Imperial Chinese Customs Service. For the next two decades, he served in this outpost of British power in the Far East, and extended the frontiers of British medicine. In 1899, at the twilight of his career and as the British Empire approached its zenith, he founded the London School of Tropical Medicine.

Haynes uses Manson's career to explore the role of British imperialis...

Chronology of Desire
Few of us have lived a life as full of change as Richard Young. From his adolescence in Acton, West London in the 1960s through his time in Italy, Hong Kong, and then China, all the way to his later life in the States, watching his family grow, Young’s life has been punctuated by major moves and heartaches, opportunities taken and forsaken, and lessons learned. In this collection of memoiristic free-verse poems, Young’s fascinating and cosmopolitan life is recounted, from teenagehood into his senior years.
