The Ship that Rocked the World

How Radio Caroline Defied the Establishment, Launched the British Invasion, and Made the Planet Safe for Rock and Roll

Did you ever wonder why so much fantastic music started coming out of Britain in the 60s? Pirates did it. That’s right, Pirates. The story of how they did it seems unbelievable, but it really happened, and it completely altered the course of rock and roll.

Talent alone was not enough to break through the rigid broadcasting system that filtered anything it deemed “unsafe”. Only bands approved by the BBC, which controlled radio across Britain, could get air time. That is, until “pirate radio” was born. The Ship that Rocked the World tells of Radio Caroline, and how a band of pirates changed the world of music forever.

Written by Tom Lodge, main deejay of Radio Caroline, with Foreword by Steven Van Zandt, this is the true inside story of the British Invasion.

Dare to Grow Up

Learn to Become Who You Are Meant to Be

People often think it’s something that you gain over the years, feeling that if you live long enough, you’ll end up a mature person. But it’s an achievement, one that not only takes time, of course, but effort and courage as well.

Paul Dunion compares this process of growing up to the cultivation of crops: “Some seed can simply be tossed about and regardless of light, water and nutrients, this seed will prevail and come of age,” he says. “The rest of us resemble the seed in need of stewardship, where attention needs to be paid to weeding, watering and enriching the ground that holds us.”

If, with much effort, and the help of others, we remain open to the mysteries of life, enriching ourselves with all living has to offer, then we may begin to learn who we were meant to become.

The Hague Odyssey

Israel's Struggle for Security on the Front Lines of Terrorism and Her Battle for Justice at the United Nations

Israel’s enemies, sometimes with the misguided help of her friends, routinely use the United Nations in an ongoing effort to demonize the Jewish State.

When Israel constructed a terrorism prevention security fence to prevent suicide bombings and other violent acts against innocent civilians, the General Assembly of the UN made an ill-advised—and many would say improper—referral to the International Court of Justice at the Hague, questioning the legality of the barrier, some even calling it an “apartheid wall.”

In The Hague Odyssey, Richard D. Heideman, noted international attorney and well-respected advocate for victims of terrorism, challenges the Court and makes a spirited, insightful defense of the absolute right and obligation of the State of Israel, as every other nation, to protect her citizens.
