Dead Lions [electronic resource]. by Herron, Mick.;
THE BOOK BEHIND THE SECOND SEASON OF SLOW HORSES , THE APPLE ORIGINAL SERIES STARRING GARY OLDMAN IN HIS EMMY-NOMINATED ROLE AS JACKSON LAMB. The CWA Gold Dagger Award-winning British espionage novel about disgraced MI5 agents who inadvertently uncover a deadly Cold War-era legacy of sleeper cells and mythic super spies. The disgruntled agents of Slough House, the MI5 branch where washed-up spies are sent to finish their failed careers on desk duty, are called into action to protect a visiting Russian oligarch whom MI5 hopes to recruit to British intelligence. While two agents are dispatched on that babysitting job, though, an old Cold War-era spy named Dickie Bow is found dead, ostensibly of a heart attack, on a bus outside of Oxford, far from his usual haunts.  But the head of Slough House, the irascible Jackson Lamb, is convinced Dickie Bow was murdered. As the agents dig into their fallen comrade's circumstances, they uncover a shadowy tangle of ancient Cold War secrets that seem to lead back to a man named Alexander Popov, who is either a Soviet bogeyman or the most dangerous man in the world. How many more people will have to die to keep those secrets buried?Electronic reproduction.

Lion of liberty : Patrick Henry and the call to a new nation / by Unger, Harlow G.,1931-;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 287-310) and index.Tongue-tied-- -- Tongue untied -- The flame is spread -- We are slaves! -- To recover our just rights -- We must fight! -- "Give me liberty-- " -- "Don't tread on me" -- Hastening to ruin -- Obliged to fly -- A Belgian hare -- Seeds of discontent -- On the wings of the tempest -- A bane of sedition -- Beef! beef! beef! -- The sun has set in all its glory -- Appendix A. The speech -- Appendix B. Henry on slavery -- Appendix C. Henry's heirs."In this action-packed history, award-winning author Harlow Giles Unger unfolds the epic story of Patrick Henry, who roused Americans to fight government tyranny both British and American. Remembered largely for his cry for & liberty or death, Henry was actually the first (and most colorful) of America's Founding Fathers first to call Americans to arms against Britain, first to demand a bill of rights, and first to fight the growth of big government after the Revolution. As quick with a rifle as he was with his tongue, Henry was America's greatest orator and courtroom lawyer, who mixed histrionics and hilarity to provoke tears or laughter from judges and jurors alike. Henry's passion for liberty (as well as his very large family), suggested to many Americans that he, not Washington, was the real father of his country. This biography ... tells a story both human and philosophical. As Unger points out, Henry's words continue to echo across America and inspire millions to fight government intrusion in their daily lives"--Page 4 of cover.
