  From the ascent of Peter the Great to the Russian Revolution. From the Battle of the Boyne to the Easter Rising. Between these epochal events were two astounding centuries of war, diplomacy, intrigue, innovation and international radical political movements, the reverberations of which are still felt in both Ireland and the former territories of the Russian empire today.
  In Anarchy and Authority, readers follow contemporaneous accounts of Irish men and women who ventured into the Russian empire during the long centuries of Romanov rule. Human connections, political intrigues, cultural cross-pollination mesh with sweeping historical narratives in the story of the island and the empire.
  Meticulously researched and energetically told, these are the stories of Irish residents, travellers and migrants to Russia from that time, ranging from diplomats and governesses, to early tourists, travel writers, soldiers, servants and even a revolutionary music-teacher. From the Irishmen and women who benefitted from the imperial wars waged by the Russian state, to those Irish observers who bore witness to the horrors of serfdom and the oppression of dissenting voices.
  Anarchy and Authority brings to vivid life these Irish perspectives. Their fascinating insights and unique depths of field give increasing relevance to the turbulent geo-politics of modern times.

  1940: When Change is Desperately...

  Oftentimes the greatest movements of grace follow close on the heels of the greatest movements of evil. Such is the case of 1939 Great Britain—decadent, self-absorbed and wholly unprepared to stand up against the growing threat of Adolf Hitler on the other side of the Channel. A great evil had cast its shadow upon the sleepy British Isles, and now it appeared that the countdown toward their final days had officially begun. 1939 Great Britain is a stunning reminder to all of us, that no matter how dark it gets, God’s grace is sufficient to meet the task and to turn everything around. Something happened inside that decaying, dying nation that is one for the storybooks. And, though it is nearly impossible to believe—that decadent, self-absorbed, unprepared little nation became— seemingly overnight—a nation full of lionhearted men and women ready to sacrifice everything to see Hitler stopped. Out of the ashes of 1939 grows the beauty and profundity of 1940 Great Britain. And what is most thrilling is that God desires to work this very same miracle in each of us.  
  This is an Ellerslie Live Teaching Series from Eric Ludy. When you purchase this audiobook, it comes with an accompanying PDF of the message notes.

  It was phenomenally successful in the air, strikingly decisive on the ground—and suddenly the war in the Persian Gulf was over, with an overwhelming victory for the allied forces. But what really happened? Why did the air war work so well? Why did the massive, allied casualties many predicted for the ground phase never materialize? Why was it all so easy when American intelligence had said it would be so hard? And what was the impact of using a war plan devised to fight the Warsaw Pact against a developing nation? On this thought-provoking recording, some of NPR's top reporters—Neal Conan, Deborah Amos, Ted Clark, and Anne Garrels—examine these and other questions from the Gulf War.

  Chronicles of Canada Volume 13 -...

  Volume 13 of The Chronicles of Canada Series. This volume sheds light on the often misunderstood Americans who chose to remain loyal to the Crown of England during and after the American Revolution. While the vast majority of American writings which detail the Revolution paint the Loyalists (sometimes called Tories) in the most negative fashion, this volume explains the reasons behind their election to flee to Canada (and other countries) rather than remain on American soil. While no exact numbers exist of Loyalists who fled to Canada in 1783-1784, the estimates of John Adams and others of the time period range in the vicinity of one third of the population, which places that number at about a million. These were not people who fled in fear, rather they were generally people who felt the benefit of support from the British Crown outweighed the support they would receive from the unproven social, financial, and political structures which had yet to be formed. Some were opportunists in search of free land. But all were a brave people who chose to leave the comfort of their homeland to help settle uncharted territories of what we now know as Quebec, Ontario, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia; a people who held their heads high as they settled a largely untamed land. (Introduction by Roger Melin)
