The history of 1971 Bangladesh War of Liberation accords the mass rape of Bangladeshi women by the Pakistan Army and their local collaborators. After about 40 years of the Liberation War, the matter of rape of the Bangladeshi women was brought under litigation, to a certain extent, in the International Crimes Tribunal of Bangladesh (ICT-BD). However, the issue of justice for the rape victims of the 1971 Bangladesh War of Liberation still lacks comprehensive social and legal attention. A question remained very much unexplored as to whether 'legal justice' through trials essentially ensures 'social justice' for the war rape victims of Bangladesh. It thus remains an unspoken narrative in Bangladesh in respect of how the war rape victims actually perceive 'justice'. Another question that arises in this regard is whether 'complete justice' is being done in the course of ensuring legal justice to war rape victims. It may be mentioned that no systematic and/or comprehensive research has been conducted so far on this subject. This research would endeavor to get an account from 385 Bangladeshi war rape victims and their families about the socio-legal aspects of the long-awaited justice.

So Help Me God presents twenty-one realistic combat accounts shared from the vivid memories of heroes who lived to tell them. Yet, deep from the memories of each hero we have the rare privilege to experience what they saw, said, and did each time the "death angel" knocked on their doorstep. From gripping details mixed through tears and painful memories, we "feel" the anxiety Doc felt as he frantically tries to save the life of an innocent child, wounded by the savagery of hidden bombs. We gasp in horror as Khmer Rouge goons torment Chou Te's humble, innocent family. We feel the tension in Leo as German boots walk within mere inches of his hidden hand, hiding from them in moments of darkness. Visually swim underwater with Don, approaching the shores of Iwo Jima. Learn of Betty Lynn's (Thelma Lou of the Andy Griffith show) heroic service during WWII. Be inspired by these heroes, touched, led, and protected by the hand of God. It is a rare talent where an individual, through his own military experiences, can recognize and illuminate another veteran's honor to serve his country. Jerry Barnes possesses that God-given talent. -Edwin N. LeGard, Commander, United States Navy, (Ret)

Settler Colonialism examines the genesis in the USA of the first full-fledged settler state in the world, which went beyond its predecessors in 1492 Iberia and British-colonized Ireland with an economy based on land sales and enslaved African labor, an implementation of the fiscal-military state. Both the liberal and the rightwing versions of the national narrative misrepresent the process of European colonization of North America. Both narratives serve the critical function of preserving the "official story" of a mostly benign and benevolent USA as an anticolonial movement that overthrew British colonialism. The pre-US independence settlers were colonial settlers just as they were in Africa and India or like the Spanish in Central and South America. The nation of immigrants myth erases the fact that the United States was founded as a settler state from its inception and spent the next hundred years at war against the Native Nations in conquering the continent. Buried beneath the tons of propaganda-from the landing of the English "pilgrims" (Protestant Christian evangelicals) to James Fenimore Cooper's phenomenally popular The Last of the Mohicans claiming settlers' "natural rights" not only to the Indigenous peoples' territories but also to the territories claimed by other European powers-is the fact that the founding of the United States created a division of the Anglo empire, with the US becoming a parallel empire to Great Britain, ultimately overcoming it. From day one, as was specified in the Northwest Ordinance, which preceded the US Constitution, the new "republic for empire," as Thomas Jefferson called the new United States, envisioned the future shape of what is now the forty-eight states of the continental US. The founders drew up rough maps, specifying the first territory to conquer as the "Northwest Territory." That territory was the Ohio Valley and the Great Lakes region, which was already populated with Indigenous villages and farming communities thousands of years old. Even before independence, mostly Scots Irish settlers had seized Indigenous farmlands and hunting grounds in the Appalachians and are revered historically as first settlers and rebels, who in the mid-twentieth century began claiming indigeneity. Self-indigenizing by various groups of settlers is a recurrent theme in story of settler colonialism, white supremacy, and the history of erasure and exclusion about which I have written elsewhere.

On January 13, 2017, former President Obama issued Executive Order No. 13761 temporarily lifting 20 years of sanctions against the regime of International Criminal Court - indicted President Omar al-Bashir of Sudan. Allegedly, it was because of progress in five tracks involving human rights, counterintelligence about fugitive Joseph Kony of the Lord's Resistance Army and peaceful settlement of Sudan's conflicts with several Sudan resistance groups in Darfur, Nuba Mountains, and the Blue Nile State. The Presidential order left it to incoming President Trump to respond by July 12, 2017 with a determination about permanently lifting the sanctions. President Trump issued a new Executive order on the evening of July 11th deferring that decision until October 31, 2017. Prior to issuing the new executive order all 53 members of the US House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee sent a letter to President Trump suggesting, based on the lack of clear evidence indicating that the five tracks are respected, sanctions should be maintained until a new Special Envoy to Sudan and South Sudan would be appointed to investigate representations of progress in Sudan that any decision should be deferred for at least a year. The authors of Sudan Genocide: threatens Africa and the World present a veritable dossier of facts on the ground that constitute a brief in support of the US House of Representatives Foreign Relations Committee recommendation. It details a web of deception by the Bashir Muslim Brotherhood regime reflected in secret documents including a captured plan to complete genocidal ethnic cleansing of indigenous black African peoples by 2020. The Arab Coalition Plan details the strategy of replacing the indigenous population with Arabs the regime brings in from foreign countries. The regime's overall strategy is to recruit 150,000 men drawn from Arab tribes and jihadists from across the Sahel region of Africa and Islamic State fighters from the Middle East. The objective is create a new Caliphate ruled under Sharia Supremacism from Khartoum backed by billions of dollars in weapons and grants from across the Arab League. Further, the authors reveal that Qatar and Sudan have engaged in the overthrow of regimes in neighboring Libya, Chad and the Central African Republic (CAR). The Sudan human toll under Bashir speaks for itself: over 400,000 dead, about 5 million internally displaced and several hundred thousands who have fled to UN refugee camps in Chad, CAR, and elsewhere. This book is must read for all Human Rights advocates, Congressional Committees and the staff of the Trump National Security Council.

This book is about lost wisdom. In modern life many people have a superficial existence and the spiritual aspects of human life are often neglected. Religious and philosophical communities rarely provide real spiritual support. The feeling of emptiness has led individuals to search for meaning in consumption of physical and religious products. Many people hear about crimes against humanity but fail to point at the culprits and also fail to demand justice.
