    Death in Derry - Martin...

    When civil rights protests in the 1960s gave way to armed struggle, the Provisional IRA in Derry – both city and county – led the fight against the British security forces. In the city Martin McGuinness – a young butcher’s assistant from the Bogside – quickly rose through the ranks, launching a bombing campaign that reduced the city centre to rubble. In tandem, the IRA’s active service units fought the British Army in the streets and alleys of the Bogside, Creggan, Shantallow and the Waterside. Out in the townlands, a new generation from the county’s traditional republican families waged an equally ruthless war against their neighbours in the RUC and UDR. The Derry Brigade’s success would help propel McGuinness to the very top of the IRA’s Army Council. 
     
    By the early 1980s the Derry Brigade appeared untouchable. However, in reality, Special Branch and British Intelligence had infiltrated it from top to bottom and almost destroyed the brigade. By the mid-1990s its war was all but over, its ranks decimated by death and incarceration. This is the story of that war told by those from all sides who survived it.

    Experience one of history’s most influential political texts in its definitive English edition. 
    This audiobook presents the authorized 1888 English translation of The Communist Manifesto, rendered by Samuel Moore and personally approved by Friedrich Engels. Originally published in 1848 during a time of revolutionary upheaval across Europe, The Communist Manifesto (Manifesto of the Communist Party) was written by German philosophers Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels for the Communist League. 
    A cornerstone of modern political thought, this powerful work offers a compelling analysis of class struggle, economic systems, and the inevitable conflicts arising under capitalism. Rather than offering utopian speculation, Marx and Engels dissect the mechanisms of capitalist production and explain the material conditions that, they argue, will give rise to socialism and ultimately communism. 
    With its famous declaration that “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles,” this manifesto has echoed through generations—shaping ideologies, inspiring movements, and fueling debates across the globe. 
    Whether you're a student of history, politics, or philosophy—or simply curious about the roots of revolutionary theory—this essential classic continues to challenge, provoke, and inform.

    In the aftermath of Rome's collapse, a forgotten boy emperor returns not to reclaim the throne—but to reinvent what it means to rule. 
    Rome Reborn follows the extraordinary transformation of Romulus II, a discarded figure in the shadow of empire, who dares to rebuild the West not through legions, but through law, unity, and reform. As warlords claim kingdoms and old cities decay, Romulus breathes life into a fragile republic formed from shattered provinces and weary citizens. 
    From forging an accord with the Goths to reuniting East and West through diplomacy, and reviving Latin as a living tongue, Romulus steers a new kind of Roman state—one built on pluralism, merit, and civil resilience. But the past is never far behind. With Odoacer watching, power consolidating in Italy, and threats looming from all sides, the republic survives not through conquest, but through radical vision and political courage. 
    This first volume in the Twilight Reshaped series tells the alternate story of a Rome that didn't fall completely—but reshaped itself at the edge of the world.
