Book Description
On March 27, 1933, representatives from across the American religious spectrum came to Madison Square Garden, united in a shared purpose to speak out against the rise of fascism in Germany and Adolph Hitler’s seizure of power. This rally—the first of several held at the Garden before, during, and after World War II—represents an unexplored moment of Jewish and Christian relations, challenging assumptions about Christian leaders’ indifference to the Jewish plight and their guilt as the realities of the Holocaust came to light. In Uncommon Allies, Alan Shore uses an impressive range of primary and secondary sources, including English and Yiddish newspapers of the time and neglected histories of various religious organizations, to shine a light on these pivotal rallies. From the groundbreaking 1933 rally to a series of events in 1943 as the reality of Hitler’s "Final Solution" came to light, and ending in a postwar rally in 1945, as religious groups struggled with finding a way to help displaced and struggling Jews, Shore unearths the united religious front in the face of the horror of Nazism. Each rally is vividly presented and analyzed in terms of its background, planning, execution, content, and press coverage. Tracing the impact of these rallies through the years, Shore draws a clear line to the partnership between Christian and Jewish Zionists and the rhetorical use of "Judeo-Christian values."

Book Description
This personal observation of Tanna, an island in the southern part of the Vanuatu archipelago, presents an extraordinary case study of cultural resistance. Based on interviews, myths and stories collected in the field, and archival research, The Tree and the Canoe analyzes the resilience of the people of Tanna, who, when faced with an intense form of cultural contact that threatened to engulf them, liberated themselves by re-creating, and sometimes reinventing, their own kastom. Following a lengthy history of Tanna from European contact, the author discusses in detail original creation myths and how Tanna people revived them in response to changes brought by missionaries and foreign governments. The final chapters of the book deal with the violent opposition of part of the island population to the newly established National Unity government.

Book Description
The dark fantasy saga which began with Death’s Good Intentions continues in The Greater Evil, an action-packed thriller about supernatural powers twisting our world into a dystopian empire… The Antichrist sits in a position of power with most the world believing that he’s a hero of the people. Those who know the truth -- rebels led by young April Frausini and the rogue Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Death and War -- are labeled terrorists as they strike out at the Antichrist from the shadows. And though most civilians blindly trust their new leader, the voice of the opposition is growing louder. In response, the governments of the world create the Unity initiative, stripping citizens of their basic freedoms under the guise of tighter security in an increasingly dangerous world. Meanwhile, Trey Decarr, the man also known as Death, bides his time in a Unity island prison. Unity has far grander plans than simply caging insurgents on the island, though. The prison camp will also be the testing grounds for Unity’s new biological weapons program, and Decarr is at the front of the line for ‘volunteer’ test subjects. In a time when evil reigns triumphant, it will be up to Decarr and April to bring the truth to the world in an effort to make things right. The End of the World and Some Other Things series The Man with the Devil’s Tongue (Prequel novella) Death’s Good Intentions (Book 1) The Greater Evil (Book 2) Behold Star Wormwood (Book 3, forthcoming)
