Book Description
The reign of Emperor Haile Selassie I chartered a new era of consciousness. His Imperial Majesty worked incessantly to stem colonialism and was effective in raising the standards of international law and morality. Any trustworthy historian would conclude that if the nations would have followed his sound counsel then World War II could have been avoided because he gave the proper instructions on how to improve the lot of all humanity. Yet to conclude that he is the Savior is baffling to some due to their adherence to old world ideologies which have been counteractive in liberating humanity. This book, "Seventy Years Accomplished," will affirm the objective truth about His Imperial Majesty as well as repudiate the slanderous propaganda surrounding the Emperor that robs the people of their salvation.

Book Description
Centurions were the guardians of Rome. At the height of the Roman Republic there were over five thousand qualified Roman Centurions in the Legions. To be a Centurion required that, in a mostly illiterate society, one be able to read and write clearly, to be able to convey and create orders, to be capable of not only performing every skill of a Roman soldier but teach every skill of a Roman soldier. Becoming a Centurion required intense physical ability, courage beyond the norm, years of sacrifice and a total devotion to the philosophy which was Rome. When Rome fell to barbarian invaders, there were less than five hundred qualified Centurions. Not because Rome had fewer people but because it had fewer willing to make the sacrifices. And the last Centurions left their shields in the heather and took a barbarian bride . . . We are . . . The Last Centurions.
