SUNGATE REBELLIONWhy had so many elected presidents of Peru and Bolivia been overthrown by military coups?Stokes Randolph thinks he knows and believes he knows how to prevent it from happening again.Since the explosion that killed the top drug dealers in Peru, whom he had gathered together at a party expecting the government to arrest them, Randolph has been living quietly in Chile under an assumed name. Meanwhile, an ambitious general has seized control of the government of Peru, and the general who declared himself president of Bolivia has become another drug-dealing tyrant. Watching those old problems arise yet again, and disappointed by the random operations of a Peruvian guerrilla movement led by the charismatic failed priest who calls himself Camilo II, who happens to be his brother-in-law, Randolph has become impatient with his forced retirement from the world of affairs.When the gravely wounded Camilo II is delivered secretly to his Chilean hacienda, Randolph sees an opportunity to correct the mistakes of past revolutionary movements and finish the job begun in Peru to destroy the drug trade. With his old CIA friends Ray Hutchinson and Clothilde Brennan, Randolph and Camilo II devise a plan to create the right rebellion, one that will lead to the second coming of Tawantinsuyu, the pre-Columbian Kingdom of the Sun.Sungate Rebellion is the sequel to Russell Markss previous novel, Nematodes, available from Xlibris, Amazon.com, and Barnes and Noble. - E-bokEngelska, 2022

How and why Australia's legal system fails Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people
'Russell Marks unravels a national tragedy. From the front line he delivers a first-rate, firsthand account of how so many First Nations people end up in jail, again and again.' --Patrick Dodson, Labor Senator for Western Australia
Indigenous Australians are the most incarcerated people on the planet. Indigenous men are fifteen times more likely to be locked up than their non-Indigenous counterparts; Indigenous women are twenty-one times more likely.
Featuring vivid case studies and drawing on a deep sense of history, Black Lives, White Law explores Australia's extraordinary record of locking up First Nations people. It examines Australia's system of criminal justice -- the web of laws and courts and police and prisons -- and how that system interacts with First Nations people and communities. How is it that so many are locked up? Why have imprisonment rates increased in recent years? Is this situation fair? Almost everyone agrees that it's not. And yet it keeps getting worse.
In this groundbreaking book, Russell Marks investigates Australia's incarceration epidemic. What would happen if the institutions of Australian justice received the same scrutiny to which they routinely subject Indigenous Australians?
'How should we tell the story of Indigenous incarceration in Australia? Only part of it is in the numbers. And we can't get very far by looking at the crimes that see Indigenous offenders punished by courts and sentenced to prison … To really grapple with the problem of Indigenous incarceration requires us to accept the possibility that there might be another way. That the current state of affairs -- where entire families sometimes spend time behind bars -- is not inevitable.' --Russell Marks
Shortlisted, Australian Political Book of the Year 2023Shortlisted, Prime Minister's Literary Awards 2023
'This passionate, timely book shines a critical light on First Nations' incarceration rates in Australia, bringing history into the present with a sense of urgency and purpose ... Powerfully interventionist while avoiding polemic, this book reminds us that frontier violence has a present as well as a past.' --Judges' comments, Prime Minister's Literary Awards
