Also From Adam Rousselle Sr. Non-Fiction

The Bastards Are Back: Uncle Warren's 1951 Warning From Korea On Russia And Chinese Infiltration, And Today's Battle For America's Homeland Security.

The Bastards Are Back is a searing examination of the timeless and insidious tactics used by adversaries like Russia and China—both in the past and, chillingly, right now, in our homeland and backyard. Drawing on the ancient wisdom of Sun Tzu's The Art of War and declassified reports from the CIA, the U.S. Army, and our Allies, this book reveals the dark blueprint of subversion that has shaped centuries of conflict and continues to wreak havoc on America's national security.

From Cold War propaganda to today's cyberattacks, digital disinformation, and economic manipulation, The Bastards Are Back lays bare the evolving playbook of infiltration. These strategies aren't just about undermining nations—they're designed to make us question our institutions, fracture our communities, and, perhaps most disturbingly, believe we are starting to dislike one another.

Through riveting case studies, shocking revelations, and the raw insights of Uncle Warren's wartime letters, the book connects historical strategies to modern warfare. It takes readers deep into the shadowy world of psychological manipulation, sleeper agents, economic coercion, and the digital battlegrounds where algorithms weaponize our divisions.

This isn't just a history lesson. The Bastards Are Back is a wake-up call, a vivid and urgent warning about how enemies abroad are infiltrating the homeland and exploiting vulnerabilities in America's backyard. It's time to confront these threats head-on before we lose more than trust in one another.
