Synopsis

"Who Fears to Speak of '98" is a provocative exploration of the Irish War of Independence, deftly weaving personal narratives with historical analysis to illuminate the social and political turmoil of the era. Anonymous in authorship, this work employs a rich, evocative literary style, utilizing first-person accounts and poetic prose to engage readers emotionally, while meticulously contextualizing the motivations and repercussions of those involved. By delving into the psyche of a nation caught between colonial rule and the yearning for freedom, the text challenges readers to confront the complexities and contradictions of nationalist fervor. The anonymity of the author adds a layer of intrigue, inviting speculation about the motivations behind choosing to remain unnamed. Likely influenced by the shifting tides of national identity and personal experiences during the tumultuous period post-1916, the author's intimate connection to the events depicted serves to enrich the narrative. This veil of anonymity also reflects the broader societal reluctance to openly discuss the violent legacy of the uprising, thereby provoking deeper contemplation on the themes of memory and collective trauma. "Who Fears to Speak of '98" is an essential read for anyone seeking a nuanced understanding of Ireland's struggle for independence. It offers a voice to those who lived through the events, while simultaneously encouraging readers to grapple with their own interpretations of history and identity. This book is not just a historical account; it is a vital commentary on the lasting impact of conflict on national consciousness.

    The story of Violette Szabo is one of the most extraordinary in the annals of World War II espionage and covert operations. 
     
     
     
    Totally fearless and a dead shot, Violette Szabo volunteered to become part of the Special Operations Executive, Britain's premier sabotage and subversion organization of the time. On June 7, 1944, Violette left behind a two-year-old daughter to parachute into France on a special mission. 
     
     
     
    Szabo and other British agents were assigned to organize French resistance fighters to hinder the advance of the SS Das Reich Division to the Normandy beaches. Unfortunately, Szabo's party was soon ambushed by the SS. 
     
     
     
    Unable to walk due to a twisted ankle, Szabo covered the retreat of her comrades with machine-gun fire. Captured, she went through a series of interrogations and changes of confinement before ending up at Ravensbruck, the German all-women's concentration camp. She was finally executed on January 26, 1945. She was twenty-three years old. 
     
     
     
    This exceptional work has been written with the assistance of Violette Szabo's daughter Tanya and unravels fact and fiction about one of the most fascinating characters of World War II.

    This powerful analysis explains how the bias toward wealth that is woven into the very fabric of American capitalism is damaging people, the economy, and the planet and explores what the foundations of a new economy could be. 
     
    This bold manifesto exposes seven myths underlying wealth supremacy-the bias that institutionalizes infinite extraction of wealth by and for the wealthy and is the hidden force behind economic injustice, the climate crisis, and so many other problems of our day: 
     
    -	The Myth of Maximizing-No amount of wealth is ever enough. 
    -	The Myth of Fiduciary Duty-Corporate managers' most sacred duty is to expand capital. 
    -	The Myth of Corporate Governance-Corporate membership must be reserved for capital alone. 
    -	The Myth of the Income Statement-Income to capital must always be increased, while income to labor must always be decreased. 
    -	The Myth of Materiality-Profit-that is, material gain-alone is real, while social and environmental damages are not. 
    -	The Myth of Takings-The first duty of government must be the protection of private property. 
    -	The Myth of the Free Market-There should be no limits on the sphere of influence of corporations and capital. 
     
    Kelly argues instead for the democratization of ownership: public ownership of vital services, worker-owned businesses, and more. And she sketches the outlines of a nonextractive capitalism that would be subordinate to the public interest. This is an ambitious reimagining of the very foundations of our economy and society.
