Summary

War has been an indelible part of human civilisation since the dawn of history, and the war in our neighbourhood has shown that it is not just a remote event in time and space. Conflict, violence and war are an integral and terrible part of human behaviour, whether it is the world conflagrations that have covered continents in blood or the clashes that have blighted our daily lives. The outbreak of armed conflict, its nature, the reasons for victory and defeat have been written about in countless books from antiquity to the present day. In his book, Lieutenant General Romulusz Ruszin-Szendi, former commander of the Hungarian Defence Forces, who has seen the battlefields of Afghanistan, Iraq and Ukraine, sets out to condense the principles of war into five simple, clear points.Although the examples used to illustrate them are drawn from war situations, this book is not only for readers interested in military history and theories. Whether it's how we relate to opposing and allied forces, how we define our objectives, or the importance of communication, the principles set out here are applicable to any conflict and can help us win the battles of our lives.

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
In her deeply personal memoir, Beneath the Radar, Naomi Jessop takes readers on an intimate journey through the labyrinth of her life—a path marked by judgment, influence, and the often painful process of carving out an identity distinct from the narratives imposed upon her. 
Exploring struggles with depression, anxiety, and PTSD, this memoir sheds light on the dark corners of the mind and the quiet strength it takes to keep going. It also dives into the complexities of LGBTQ+ identity and self-acceptance in a world that often resists both. 
At its heart, Beneath the Radar is a story about family—about longing for connection, navigating fractured relationships, and finding love and understanding amidst chaos. 
With unflinching honesty and emotional depth, Naomi reveals what it truly means to grow, heal, and find yourself in a world eager to define you. 
Beneath the Radar is more than a memoir—it’s a mirror for anyone who’s ever felt misunderstood, mislabelled, or misplaced. It’s an invitation to see the human story beneath the surface—and a testament to the strength it takes to rise, to speak, and to be seen.

'You simply couldn't stand by with your arms folded.'
These were the words of Samuel Beckett who famously returned to France from a holiday in Ireland when World War II broke out. His clandestine work against the Nazi occupation of Europe is well documented, but there were many other ordinary Irish people who joined the underground network.
Some took up arms. Others gathered intelligence, sheltered fugitives, committed acts of sabotage or broke codes. This new history tells the stories of those forgotten Irish men and women.
Discover Captain John Keany from Cork, who parachuted into occupied Italy to help the local Resistance; Margaret Kelly, the Dublin founder of the world-famous Bluebell Girls cabaret troupe in Paris, who hid her Jewish husband; and Catherine Crean, the Irish governess born on Moore Street, Dublin, who was sent to a concentration camp for helping Allied airmen in Belgium.
These, and many more stories, span the course of World War II and remind us of the power of individuals to make a difference.

So, if you are wondering:What exactly are ODD and ADHDHow do I tell the difference between the two?What behavioral problems do the two disorders display? 
And other similar questions, then read on.

A WWII Soviet officer recalls leading a battalion of convict-soldiers in this rare firsthand account of a Red Army penal unit. Alexander Pyl’cyn was eighteen years old when he was drafted into the Red Army in 1941. He went on to serve with great distinction, earing the Order of the Red Banner, the Order of the Great Patriotic War, and the Order of the Red Star for his actions during the war. As the commander of a penal battalion on the Eastern Front, he led an unruly band of convict-soldiers, Gulag prisoners, and former Soviet POWs deemed untrustworthy.   Relegated to the most difficult and dangerous assignments, Pyl’cyn’s unit was called up to break through the enemy’s defenses. He led his penal unit through the Soviets’ massive offensive in the summer of 1944, the Vistula-Oder operation into eastern Germany, and the bitter assault on Berlin in 1945. Though his men suffered massive casualties, and he himself withstood multiple wounds, he survived the war to tell this incredible story.
