Sinossi

The Kursk Disaster meticulously examines the sinking of the Russian submarine Kursk in August 2000, a pivotal event in maritime and military history. This book explores the technical failures, political missteps, and human cost surrounding the disaster. It details how the Russian Navy, once a symbol of Soviet power, faced severe challenges in the post-Soviet era due to underfunding and neglected equipment which ultimately impacted rescue capabilities. One intriguing aspect is how international assistance was delayed, reflecting a deep-seated reluctance to reveal the extent of the crisis and accept outside help. The book unfolds chronologically, beginning with the naval exercise and the initial explosion, reconstructing events through sonar recordings and recovered wreckage analysis. It transitions into the frantic rescue attempts and bureaucratic obstacles, exposing the political maneuvering that delayed aid. The Kursk Disaster highlights how systemic issues within post-Soviet Russia, such as a culture of secrecy, contributed to the loss of life. Ultimately, the book serves as a forensic investigation into a maritime tragedy that reverberated globally, exposing critical flaws within the Russian military and government.

    This program includes a bonus conversation between the author and editor.Volodymyr Zelensky captivated the world when his country was invaded by Russia in February 2022. His appearances were accompanied by countless inspiring statements. But there's a single one that informs Unlocking Your Inner Zelensky: "We are all simple people."Jessie Kanzer sees Zelensky as a Spiritual Leader for Our Times. As a native Russian speaker (like Zelensky himself), she picks up on the deep philosophical ramifications behind his words. Rich and yet easily understood, the life lessons in Unlocking Your Inner Zelensky are accessible and wise, and are more about starting where you are than about war.Kanzer herself has a bit part in Zelensky's life story, acting in one of his movies filmed in the States. She's a self-described "spiritual nerd" who followed Zelensky long before he stood before a blue and yellow backdrop on the national stage. She writes, "What is so incredible about our man Volodymyr is that his belief in himself stems not from seeing himself as special, but from seeing himself as ordinary and from knowing there is great power in this ordinariness."A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin's Press Essentials.

    During the Irish Civil War, events of late 1922 and early 1923 together with waves of 'dishonourable' killings created poisoned relations between Republicans and 'Free Staters' which would last for several generations. The most enduring of these controversies, a policy of summary executions carried out by the Provisional Government from November 1922, continues to surround the argument.
    
    
    This book offers a fresh perspective on the causes, development and consequences of the Irish Civil War. Triggered by the signing of the Anglo-Treaty, there were those that would accept nothing less than complete Irish independence. Very few IRA commanders active in the field supported the Treaty and, as happens often in the dissection of civil wars, controversy over the conduct of both sides figures heavily within the text, where,  at a local and national level, it left bitter legacies.
    
    
    This book offers an overview of the war in all regions of Ireland.
