ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The scope of this work could not have been possible if not for the assistance of Dr. Kenneth Thomas of the University of Washington and Lieutenant-General Clarence Malthuss, in matters of the Alliance's military history, Dr. Ibrahim Sayed and Dr. Morgan Bergmann, for their expertise in colonial history, Dr. Jennifer Zana of Vustgaarde University, for their encyclopedic familiarity with the history of Romefeller Foundation as well as the history of the Earth during the After Colony era.
And of finally but certainly not lastly, I must acknowledge my longsuffering wife, Relena, who endured the countless nights where I drove her batshit reading the drafts of this current volume to her over and over. And my children, Matthias, Henry, and Clara who, from the very beginning, were my greatest allies in this and every endeavor.
