Sinossi

In "Gun Running for Casement in the Easter Rebellion, 1916," Karl Spindler presents a meticulous exploration of the clandestine arms operations that fueled the pivotal uprising. Employing a blend of historical analysis and narrative storytelling, Spindler captures the tension and urgency of 1916, illuminating the interplay between local insurgents and international allies. The work is contextualized within the broader spectrum of Irish nationalism and the socio-political landscape of early 20th-century Europe, drawing on primary sources that lend authenticity and immediacy to his narrative. Karl Spindler, an accomplished historian and scholar, specializes in Irish revolutionary history. His keen interest in the complexities of national identity and the quest for self-determination is evidenced through his extensive research and fieldwork. Through his unique lens, Spindler not only recounts historical events but also echoes the voices of those who were often marginalized in traditional accounts, providing a more nuanced understanding of the motivations behind these revolutionary actions. For those interested in the intricacies of the Easter Rebellion and the broader narrative of Irish resistance, Spindler's work is an essential and enlightening read. It offers not only a detailed account of arms smuggling but also an exploration of the larger ideals that drove men and women to risk everything for their cause.

Hidden History of Texas Volume 1...

Hank Wilson

The Hidden History of Texas, Volume 1 - 1530 to 1820 
 
This is the often-untold story of the history of Texas from when the Spanish first set foot into Texas until they relinquished control to Mexico. This is the story of the original inhabitants of the land and their interactions with both the Europeans they encountered and other indigenous people of the time. The events that took place during that time, laid the groundwork for what was to come. The story is filled with heroes and villains and looked at it through the eyes of the people who lived it. 
  
It is called the Hidden History of Texas, because if you don’t dig, you’d never know about it or these people. It’s not taught in the schools other than a brief mention of some of the more famous Indian tribes. Without these people and their activities, it is doubtful many of us would be here today.

Everyday Freedom - Designing the...

Philip K. Howard

Something basic is missing in our culture. Americans know it. Nothing much works as it should. Simple daily choices seem impossible, or fraught with peril. In the workplace, we walk on eggshells. Big projects get stalled in years of review. Endemic social problems such as homelessness become, well, more endemic. 
 
 
 
Everyday Freedom offers a radical reinterpretation of the corrosion of American culture. The assault on authority after the 1960s, aimed at enhancing freedom, instead created a plague of powerlessness. The teacher in the classroom, the principal in a school, the nurse in the hospital, the official in Washington, the parent on a field trip . . . all have their hands tied. Things don't work, and Americans have lost the freedom to be themselves. 
 
 
 
Everyday Freedom offers a radical vision for change: Re-empower Americans in their everyday choices. The massive legal structures erected since the 1960s were based on flawed notions that human judgment could be replaced by elaborate dictates. These failed structures must be replaced with simpler frameworks activated by human responsibility and accountability. Nothing will work sensibly until Americans are free to draw on their skills, intuitions, and values when confronting daily challenges. This is the only cure to alienation. This is also the only way to deliver good government.

The Enigma Story - The Truth...

Dermot Turing

The Enigma cipher was supposed to be the German's impenetrable defence for its military communications against prying eyes during World War II. All manner of secrets were entrusted to it. When the Allies finally managed to crack the code, it heralded a turning point in the war. 
 
This is the fascinating story of how the code was created, adopted by the Nazis, and finally broken. Dermot Turing, the nephew of the great codebreaker Alan Turing, explores the twists and turns of German encryption efforts from the end of World War I through to Hitler's demise and the great lengths to which the Allies went to break it. 
 
The Enigma Story reveals the efforts of the codebreakers at Bletchley Park, the machines called 'bombes' specially designed to break it, and the vast resources devoted in America to decrypting German messages. From the cloak-and-dagger heroics of men like Hans-Thilo Schmidt and Gustave Bertrand to the brilliant mathematical discoveries of men like Henryk Zygalski and Dilly Knox to the fraught decision-making of Allied High Command, the battle for the code was at the heart of the Allied victory in World War II. 
 
This extraordinary tale of intrigue, ingenuity and courage brings to life the complete story of the Enigma in a lively and entertaining narrative.
