Paperback. Condition: Good. Hubert de Burgh rose from obscure beginnings to become one of the most powerful men in England. He loyally served first King John and then the young Henry III and played a crucial role in saving the Plantagenet dynasty when it was at its most vulnerable. During King Johns disastrous wars in France, Hubert held Chinon castle against the besieging French for a whole year. He remained loyal when the Barons rebelled against John and, when they invited French invaders to intervene, Hubert successfully held Dover Castle for the king against a siege led by the French Prince Louis. After Johns death, he held it for the new king, 9-year old Henry, against a renewed siege. In August 1217 he struck the final blow against the French invasion, which still held London, when he defeated a powerful fleet carrying French reinforcements at the naval Battle of Sandwich. Hubert continued to serve Henry III, making important reforms as Justiciar of England and leading military campaigns against the Welsh Prince Lewellyn. He eventually lost favour due to the machinations of his rivals and narrowly avoided execution but was eventually reconciled with his king and able to die a peaceful death. Incredibly, this is the first full-length biography of this remarkable man.…

Condition: Good. Picking up where his acclaimed When Thunder Rolled left off, Palace Cobra is the story of Ed Rasimus's return to Vietnam to fight a war that many Americans tried to forget RASIMUS IS THE REAL THING.?Tom Bear Wilson, author of Termite HillWhen F-105 pilot Ed Rasimus completed his 100 missions over Vietnam, he returned stateside to a normal life: sitting at a desk and teaching student pilots. Two years later, he volunteered to go for a second tour of duty. Determined not to die in a losing cause, and relentlessly searching for that next adrenaline rush, Rasimus and the other F-4 Phantom pilots continued the ferocious air war in the North--dodging SAMs and gunning for MiGs--and routinely cheated death. BRILIANT WRITING THAT COULD ONLY BE DONE BY AN INTELIGENT PILOT WHO WAS THERE.--Walter Boyne, author of Operation Iraqi FreedomWhen America finally got serious about ending the war, Rasimus and the other pilots put it all on the line, pounding Hanoi with everything they had, and flying above POW camps to let the troops know they were not alone. Gripping, earnest, and unforgettable, Rasimus's combat memoir is, in the end, a heartfelt tribute to those who never made it back. READ, THINK, AND BE PROUD AND GRATEFUL THAT YOUR NATION PRODUCES MEN LIKE THESE.--Robin Olds, Brigadier General (Ret.), USAF.…

He made specific adjustments for my body type and has a great understanding of individual needs. This book will be a great resource for anybody.? ? Dennis Bermudez, retired UFC fighter   ?Chris has helped me with my diet for my entire 10-year career in mixed martial arts. He has helped with my day-to-day nutrition in and out of fight camps, my weight-cut protocol, and my rehydration program for after weigh-ins, which to me are the most important. Chris doesn?t only tell you what to eat and when to eat it, but he also breaks down how every person?s body is different and reacts to certain foods different and he explains why I should eat certain foods and why eating them at a specific time is so important. Having him on my team absolutely gave me a tremendous advantage over my competition. I wouldn?t trust anyone else with my diet.? ? Ryan LaFlare, retired UFC fighter ?I?ve been an athlete my entire life, but nutrition has always overwhelmed me. We live in a culture of fad diets. Consumers are taught to believe you need to starve in order to lose weight. As a result, the public, like me, gets overwhelmed and discouraged. We tend to starve ourselves to lose weight, and when we can?t take it anymore, we binge. Chris?s book has made it finally possible for me to break that cycle. I realize eating healthy doesn?t mean I have to be hungry. It doesn?t have to be boring. Not only do I notice a difference in my physical appearance, but the difference in my mood is also amazing.

I think this book serves value to not only those competing but also to anyone looking to make positive changes in their health!? ? Sarah Thomas, 2018 New York Golden Gloves winner   ?Having known Chris and seeing the way he eats for a few years now, I?ve seen with my own eyes the superhuman capabilities it gives someone when they get their nutrition on point. I absolutely love that he?s not only finally sharing a taste of his secret recipes but also a ton of educational content so one can make it relevant to their own lifestyle and delivered using a system that seems very simple to implement.? ? Avril Mathie, professional boxer and Miss Swimsuit USA International 2015.…
