This novel was inspired by the receipt of a letter to Stacpoole in which the writer (an ex-Foreign Legion soldier) suggested that his story would make a good book. This novel is the result and is loosely based on the soldier's experiences in Africa.

The 'Rainbow Government', that was how the media described the Fine Gael, Labour and Democratic Left coalition government that John Bruton led from late 1994 to June 1997, arguably the most left wing government in the history of the state. In Under the Rainbow, Shane Kenny uses his unique perspective as government press secretary to deliver the ultimate insider account of this crucial juncture in Irish politics; a period which contained critical breakthroughs in the Northern Ireland peace process, the most high profile murder in the history of the state (Veronica Guerin), the establishment of the 'payments to politicians' tribunal, which finally exposed the sources of Charles Haughey's wealth, and a divorce referendum which heralded the dawn of a changing Ireland. With anecdotes and quotations from the author's own notes and tapes from the time, Under the Rainbow is a singular chronicle of political and economic achievement, aligned with professional and personal tragedy – a captivating mix of the atmosphere and facts of government life.Voir livre
World War II was a conflict shaped by countless strategic decisions, moments of chance, and pivotal battles. While the Axis powers achieved stunning victories in the early years, several key turning points ultimately led to their downfall. But what if just a few of these moments had played out differently? Could the Axis have secured victory? One of the most significant turning points was the Battle of Britain. After the fall of France in 1940, Germany stood at the doorstep of the United Kingdom, preparing for a possible invasion. The Luftwaffe launched a fierce aerial assault, aiming to cripple British defenses and force a surrender. However, the Royal Air Force, supported by radar technology and an unyielding civilian spirit, held firm. If the Luftwaffe had adjusted its strategy—focusing more on airfields instead of shifting to city bombings—the RAF might have been overwhelmed. A weakened Britain could have been forced to negotiate peace, removing a major Allied power from the war. Another crucial moment came with Operation Barbarossa, Germany’s invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941. Hitler’s decision to open an Eastern Front spread Axis forces thin and underestimated Soviet resilience. If the invasion had started earlier in the year, avoiding the brutal Russian winter, German forces might have reached Moscow before Soviet reinforcements stabilized the front. Additionally, had Germany prioritized capturing Soviet oil fields in the Caucasus over direct assaults on major cities, the Wehrmacht could have sustained its war machine much longer. A Soviet collapse would have left Germany dominant in Europe, free to shift its focus elsewhere.Voir livre
"The Art of War" is a timeless and influential treatise on strategy and warfare attributed to Sun Tzu, a renowned Chinese military strategist, philosopher, and tactician of ancient China. Written over 2,500 years ago, this classic work has transcended its original purpose as a military manual to become a foundational text on strategic thinking applicable to various aspects of life, including business, leadership, and conflict resolution. Divided into thirteen chapters, "The Art of War" delves into the intricate complexities of warfare and the principles that govern success on the battlefield. Sun Tzu emphasizes the importance of flexibility, adaptability, and understanding the terrain in order to gain an advantage over one's adversaries. The book discusses various strategies, including the direct and indirect approaches, the utilization of deception, the management of resources, and the significance of timing in achieving victory. One of the central concepts in the book is the idea that the ultimate triumph lies in winning without engaging in actual combat. Sun Tzu stresses the value of outsmarting opponents through strategic maneuvering and psychological warfare, reducing the need for bloody confrontation. He underlines the importance of understanding both one's own strengths and weaknesses, as well as those of the opposition, in order to make informed decisions that lead to success. "The Art of War" also touches upon leadership qualities and the need for effective communication and discipline within an organization. Sun Tzu's insights have been applied not only to military strategies but also to various fields, such as business management, negotiation, and personal development. His teachings highlight the significance of preparation, planning, and adaptability in achieving one's goals.Voir livre
