Passing Through Minnesoda and Other Altered States
by Thomas Edward Shaw
A rock and roll, jazz and funk musician’s odyssey from the late 1950s to the early 21st century, recounting the right of passage — obsession, success and failure — struggling against barriers that keep many artists from arriving at their destination. On his journey, he becomes the alienated hero, the punk-rock bass guitar player, the Miles Davis-influenced jazz trumpeter, the soaring rock and roll pigeon.

An Army Lawyer’s Military Journey
by George V. Allison
Author George Allison intended to write this book as a simply told testament of his dedication to his family.

He describes the life of one who is dedicated to justice, not just telling the reader what it is like to be a military lawyer, but also what it’s like to live the life. From hand-drawn maps to personal photos, he allows the reader to accompany him through the pages seeing first-hand what he saw. It’s an informative, inside description of an experienced military lawyer. Regarding an unpopular war, this book neither justifies nor criticizes what happened. It only tells the truth.
