      Baltimore Iconoclast covers the waterfront. From an article on the Black Panther, Marshall "Eddie" Conway; to a profile of WWII hero; Angelo Agro; to a conversation with Anti-Nuke leader, Philip Berrigan; to a call for justice for the gallant crew members of the USS Liberty; to an analysis of the flawed federal mail fraud case that wrongly brought down the then Maryland governor, Marvin Mandel, its author touches every base.William Hughes has been a champion of the underdog in all of his writings. A former Associate City Solicitor, he has also been deeply interested in free speech, due process of law, media criticism, Irish Freedom, and the preservation of human dignity.Although politics and human rights are Hughes' main passions, he also makes room for music, environmental concerns, humor, and sports. He has a special fondness for the halcyon days of the NFL's Baltimore Colts. Hughes' insights into the clubhouse politics of Baltimore City ring with authenticity. Each of his 85 commentaries tells a story, that will surely move its readers.Buckle your seat belts!

      Andrew Jackson Vs. New World Order is historical fiction and unadulterated Americana. It's an adventure yarn, set in our glorious Revolutionary War period.There were a lot of great men in America around 1780. One was Andrew Jackson; a populist, patriot, and visionary nationalist.Young Jackson is the star of my adventure tale. He was a hero in the Revolutionary War and also the War of 1812-14. In my drama, he fights a British plot, hatched by the evil Dr. Fox, to break the spirit of the American rebels by spiking their drinking water with a magic potion. The young rebel Jackson must rely on his own instincts to foil the plans of King George, III, the BCRAM cartel, and the wily Dr. Fox.On an allegorical level, my book has some strong social, political and moral messages for our citizens. It is about good versus evil; Jackson, the daring rebel, versus Dr. Fox, the master conspirator himself. On another level, it's the American patriot struggling against the agents of the international cartel, BCRAM, which is at the center of a maze of intrigue stretching from London to Charleston, South Carolina.Sounds like the New World Order to me!
