Martin Armstrong

Desert: A Legend by Martin Armstrong is a haunting allegorical tale that blends myth, philosophy, and psychological depth. Set in an unnamed desert landscape, the story follows a mysterious traveler whose journey through the arid expanse becomes a symbolic passage through the realms of doubt, temptation, and moral awakening. As the traveler encounters enigmatic figures-each representing ideals, fears, or illusions-Armstrong crafts a richly layered parable on the human condition. The desert, with its stark emptiness and mirage-filled horizons, serves as both setting and metaphor, reflecting the internal wilderness we all must cross in search of truth and redemption. Written in Armstrong's lyrical and contemplative prose, Desert: A Legend draws readers into a timeless meditation on solitude, courage, and the elusive nature of belief. A work of quiet intensity and profound insight, it stands as a philosophical fable for thoughtful readers seeking more than mere narrative-a story that lingers long after the final page.

"Take care of Russia," Boris Yeltsin said as he departed his presidency in August 1999. These words were directed at current Russian president, Vladimir Putin. Yeltsin specifically picked Putin as his predecessor to prevent the takeover of Russia. So, who was Yeltsin warning against? Newly declassified documents from the Clinton Administration prove that there was a plot to rig the Russian election of 2000. These never-before-seen documents confirm numerous attempts to implement pro-Western policies using the Russian oligarchy headed by Boris Berezovsky. On the other side were the communists who desired a return to the glory days of the Soviet Union. As one of the largest international hedge fund managers, author Martin Armstrong found himself in the middle of perhaps the greatest espionage, or attempt at a regime change for Russia, in modern history. The Plot to Seize Russia pulls back the curtain to expose the most extraordinary attempt to seize power in modern history, but with the pen rather than armies. These declassified documents reveal a plot that has altered our thinking about the relations between the United States and Russia. The thirst for power comes seething through every line of these papers that alter our perception of reality, change the course of history, and now threaten us with World War III.
