The 24 Hours in Charlottesville author offers a minute-by-minute account of the January 6 riots through never-before-heard stories of those who were thereNeus goes beyond mainstream reporting to reveal important truths about the US white nationalist movementThis bracing account reconstructs what it was actually like in and around the Capitol during those 24 hours. Lawmakers recount donning gas masks and being evacuated to safe rooms. Police officers recall insurrectionists screaming at them and calling them traitors. Staffers remember walking over pools of blood as they ran for their lives. A young Asian-American staffer recalls locking herself in a room just feet from the rioters, mentally preparing to be raped. A mostly Black janitorial staff began cleaning the blood of insurrectionists off the marble floor on the Capitol before the building was even officially secured. Neuss sources include original interviews, court documents, firsthand accounts, the US Capitol Historical Societys oral history project on the insurrection, and the work of Tim Heaphy, chief investigator of the congressional January 6 Select Committee.January 6 was largely planned right out in the open, but lawmakers and government officials underestimated the threat in part because it was coming from white people. Neus examines the underlying racial implications of not only the attack itself, but also in the planning and coordination of the response.

After four tense decades of the Cold War and a subsequent period of relative stability across much of Europe, is the continent once again under threat? And are Europeans prepared to face the growing risks and strategic challenges of the second quarter of the 21st century? This ISPI Report, crafted for both expert readers and a broader audience, traces the evolution of Europes defense architecture on two parallel tracks: the defense of Europe, fundamentally underpinned by NATO and shaped through its continual adaptation; and the pursuit of a distinctly European defense identity, increasingly advanced through the European Union. It examines the intersections, overlaps, tensions, and pivotal turning points in this dual process, exploring institutional and organizational frameworks, strategies and doctrines, missions and operations, as well as military and industrial capabilities. The storyline leads to 2025, a symbolic crossroads that may mark the end of one era and the beginning of another: a moment when Europeans will be called upon to assume full responsibility for their own security and defense. Will they rise to the challenge?

Welcome to this first volume of short stories from The Many Worlds of Clarissa. These stories are where I play a little and explore different ideas and topics without committing to a full novel. Many of them could be expanded further in the future, so if there is one you particularly like, then let me know! Some of these are tonally darker than my other published fiction, although there is still no graphic violence, or explicit scenes of any kind. There is a kiss or two, and things end hopefully. I am not a grimdark writer in any way, shape or form!
