|  | Extraordinary Times, Extraordinary Beings by Wayne S. Peterson
Recently-retired director of the Fulbright Scholarship Program & a former U.S. diplomat, Wayne Peterson describes his incredible journey from the worldly halls of power to the spiritual Hall of Wisdom. After a life-saving experience with the Virgin Mary at the age of four, we fast-forward to s stint in the Peace Corps & a series of diplomatic assignments-from Rio to Saigon to Nairobi-then back to Washington, where the real adventure begins in 1982 after hearing Benjamin Creme interviewed on national television. Peterson vividly recounts his experiences & meetings with Maitreya, the World Teacher & a group of highly-evolved beings working with him, known as the Masters of Wisdom, who are here now to help us solve our most intractable global problems. To his amazement, Peterson discovers that many other highly-placed, influential people--within the White House, at the head of foreign governments & even inside the Vatican--have had experiences similar to his own & have pledged their support in the great planetary transformation now under way. A true-life adventure story for those who sense there is more to life than we have imagined, who want to understand the big picture , who want to be part of the solution.

 | General Patton by Stanley P. Hirshson
General George S. Patton, Jr., an inspirational leader and outstanding tactician, has intrigued and confounded his biographers. Now, utilizing untapped archival materials in both the United States and England, government documents, family papers, and oral histories, Stanley P. Hirshson creates the most balanced portrait of Patton ever written. It reveals Patton as a complex soldier capable of brilliant military maneuvers but also of inspiring his troops with fiery speeches that resulted in horrendous acts, such as the massacres of Italian civilians, It explains Patton's belief in a soldier's Valhalla, connects the family's wealth to one of America's bitterest labor strikes, and disputes the usual interpretation of Patton's relief from command of the Third Army. In investigating this complex man, Hirshson has uncovered surprising material about a series of civilian massacres in Sicily, about the two slapping incidents, about attempts to exploit Patton's diary after his death, and about Patton's relations with top Allied generals. Patton emerges as a soldier of great imagination and courage, and his military campaigns make for edge-of-the-seat reading. All the drama of Patton's life comes alive in this meticulously documented volume. AUTHOR: Stanley P. Hirshson
