Sinossi

The "Spring and Autumn Annals" is a remarkable historical chronicle attributed to Confucius, detailing events in the State of Lu from 722 to 481 BCE. Written in an austere and concise style, the text employs a unique blend of factual recounting and moral reflection, marking an early attempt at recording history with an ethical lens. Confucius's annotations on morality, governance, and human conduct suggest a philosophical context that seeks to establish a civil order through virtue, illuminating the complex interplay between history and moral philosophy in early Chinese thought. Confucius, a revered philosopher and the foundation of Confucianism, emerged during a period of social turbulence and disunity in ancient China. His dedication to moral integrity and social responsibility is palpably reflected in the "Spring and Autumn Annals," which serves not just as a historical account, but as a didactic tool aimed at cultivating virtue among leaders and citizens alike. The text is steeped in Confucian ideals, emphasizing the necessity of ethical governance amidst moral decay. For scholars and enthusiasts of philosophy, history, and ancient Chinese culture, the "Spring and Autumn Annals" is an indispensable text.

Natale Barca

"...the author does an admirable job of showing just how complicated and interconnected all the great patrician families were and how their jealousies and rivalries ultimately led to their undoing and the end of the great Roman Republic." — New York Journal of BooksThe political process that culminated in the transition from Republic to Empire in ancient Rome began with the military reform of Caius Marius in the last decades of the 2nd century BC. Following the Civil War and Sulla’s dictatorship, it developed further with the First Triumvirate of Caesar, Pompey, and Crassus, and two further civil wars. These wars, which saw Caesar pitted against Pompey, and Octavian fighting Anthony, ended in 27 BC with the rise to power of Octavian, the adoptive son of Caesar.  Before Augustus outlines a summary of the last years of the Roman Republic, weaving together the military, political, and social aspects.

Agents of Influence - Britain's...

Aaron Edwards

Recruited by British Intelligence to infiltrate the IRA and Sinn Féin during the height of the Northern Ireland Troubles, they were ‘agents of influence’. With codenames like INFLICTION, STAKEKNIFE, 3007 and CAROL, these spies played a pivotal role in the fight against Irish republicanism. Now, for the first time, some of these agents have emerged from the shadows to tell their compelling stories. Agents of Influence takes you behind the scenes of the secret intelligence war which helped bring the IRA’s armed struggle to an end. 
 
Historian Aaron Edwards, the critically acclaimed author of UVF: Behind the Mask, explains how the IRA was penetrated by British agents, with explosive new revelations about the hidden agendas of prominent republicans like Martin McGuinness and Freddie Scappaticci and lesser-known ones like Joe Haughey and John Joe Magee. Bringing to light recently declassified TOP SECRET documents and the firsthand testimonies of agents and their handlers, Edwards reveals how British Intelligence gained extraordinary access to the IRA’s inner circle and manipulated them into engaging with the peace process. 
 
With new insights into the spy masters behind the scenes, their strategies and tactics, and Britain’s international intelligence network in Northern Ireland, Europe, and beyond, Agents of Influence offers a rare and shocking glimpse into the clandestine world of secret agents, British intelligence strategy and the betrayal at the heart of militant Irish republicanism during the vicious decades of the Troubles.
