About The Mexican-American War: A Captivating Guide to the Armed Conflict between the United States of America and Mexico along with the Impact of the Texas Revolution by Captivating History

Did you know that the United States tried to buy territory from Mexico before the war?

The Mexican-American War was a short war between the United States and Mexico in the 19th century that played a crucial role in shaping the landscape of the continent and had a long-lasting effect on both countries. However, why is the war often overlooked by people?

Even though it was one of the first major offensive wars fought by the United States, the truth is that it often gets overshadowed by notable events that followed it, like the American Civil War. In fact, most people likely know more about the Battle of the Alamo, which preceded the war, than the Battle of Palo Alto.

This book aims to fix that. Get ready to learn more about this short conflict between two neighboring nations in North America and how it changed the course of history.

In this book, you will discover:
• The causes of the war, such as Spanish colonialism and the age of expansionism in the United States
• The Texas Revolution, including the famed Battle of the Alamo
• The perspectives of both sides before, during, and after the war, to better understand the reasons behind each decision
• The main political figures of the period, including US President James K. Polk, Secretary of State John Quincy Adams, and General Santa Anna of Mexico
• The motivations, goals, and actions of the various figures involved in the war, such as Zachary Taylor, who would later become a US president
• The detailed events of the conflict itself, which spanned a period of almost two years and took the lives of more than thirteen thousand people
• And much more!

About Winning the Silent Battle Exposing 8 Lies Hindering Your Mental Health

When I turned 18, I hit a major crossroads. I knew
if I didn’t get help, I wouldn’t last much longer. I had
been struggling with perfectionism that was crippling me
to the point of constant anxiety. It led me down a dark
path, one of self-injury ideation and addiction. For years,
I struggled in silence. I told no one.

Reaching out for help wasn’t easy, but it was
crucial to my survival. Slowly, I began to see the light at
the end of the tunnel—and grew closer to God along the
way. I allowed Him to take me on a healing journey that
spanned ten years. When all was said and done, I got
better. I got healthy, and I want to help you do the same.

When I learned more about Him, I discovered His
plan for me and all His children who fight these silent
battles each and every day. He never intended for our
mental illnesses to hold us captive. Rather, he planned
for them to fortify our faith in ourselves–and in Him.

In this book, I expose eight lies your mind will tell
you that keep you from winning your silent battles. I also
provide you with the truth as ammo to help you combat
each of these lies. What I am offering you is not a quick
fix. It’ll take work, but it’ll be worth it. Just remember
that you’re never alone. You have the support of others
facing similar struggles and that of God as your loving
shield. If you’re ready to start winning your silent battle,
take my hand and we’ll go through this journey together.

About The Galileo Project

Fact: Since 1947 highly reliable witnesses, including airline pilots, military personnel, astronauts, everyday professionals and children have been witnessing unexplained objects in the world’s skies….

Fact: In June 2021 a host of National Security Agencies, including the Pentagon are obligated to provide a detailed report on the UFO issue to the U.S Senate.

Now, Robert Spire is about to be thrust into the rapidly evolving UFO phenomenon, in this fast-paced Sci-Fi Mystery Thriller. (This is part 2 of a three book series)

West Wales and Sussex, U.K. – 1977-1980.

During the height of the escalating cold war between the Superpowers, strange events are occurring on the Welsh coastline, an area that would later become known as, The Welsh Triangle. On the opposite side of the country, even more disturbing occurrences are unfolding in Rendlesham Forest, in Suffolk, England, which separates the twin airbases of R.A.F. Woodbridge and Bentwaters, occupied by the U.S.A.F. The event is now known as The Rendlesham Forest Incident.

Present Day – London, U.K.

Following the assassination of renowned U.S. physicist, Professor Robert Lazarus, Ex-environmental lawyer, Robert Spire, has been tasked by the U.K’s GLENCOM environmental agency to follow up on Lazarus’ incredible claims. It appears that Lazarus was about to reveal a paradigm-shifting energy, linked to UFO / ET technology. Following the assassination, Spire recovers Lazarus’ smart-phone device and discovers a high-tech message in a bottle – a hologram message, for him. The message is clear; Continue my quest…Reveal the truth…Don’t get killed.

A Dangerous Quest.

Before departing for the U.S.A. to follow up on Lazarus’ claims, Spire decides to investigate some alleged UFO sighting closer to home. Events that took place during the late 1970’s in a sleepy area of Wales, known as The Welsh Triangle, but soon discovers he is being monitored. Spire further discovers that another strange series of events took place in the dying days of 1980 at the other end of the country, on the twin R.A.F. airbases of Woodbridge and Bentwaters, then occupied by the U.S.A.F. The bases were being used as a frontline command, should the Soviet Union invade Europe. As Spire continues his quest to reveal the truth behind the UFO phenomenon, he quickly realises an inescapable reality – either thousands of respectable and reputable witnesses to such events are all lying, or mistaken in what they see, or we are being visited and closely monitored by off-world intelligences.

Spire gathers all the resources he can, and with help from GLENCOM, Dr Isobel Enova and ex-Marine, Travis Dexter he digs deeper into the UFO phenomena and Lazarus’ posthumous last wish – to search for evidence that contact with an ET civilisation has already occurred and not only that, but mankind has been able to reverse-engineer advanced alien technology.

But, why the secrecy and continuing government cover up in relation to the UFO phenomenon and the paradigm-shifting technology that might have been acquired? Spire discovers that the truth is stranger, and indeed more dangerous than fiction…
