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.

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.

    "Brown has taken an incredibly complex subject and made it accessible and readable, all while retaining the gravity of history and the sheer intensity of these battlefields. Airpower became a fundamental warfighting tool in the Global War on Terror, and its success depended on the community of JTACs whose experiences populate this important work. They are the unsung heroes of the post-9/11 wars America needs to meet." —David L. Goldfein, General (Ret.), USAF, 21st Chief of Staff 
     
     
     
    With a new century and a new enemy came a new kind of war: low intensity and civilian-dominated, blending austere rural and dense urban environments alike. Into this new kind of war, the American military launched two invasions against terrorist networks and military rivals, relying on airpower—close air support (CAS)—at a scale never before seen. 
     
     
     
    The Global War on Terror was the "CAS war." Forward Air Controllers were on the front lines, directing airstrikes against enemies in their safe havens, safeguarding friendly forces and civilians alike to their utmost, and achieving unprecedented success with limited resources. This volume captures the heroic accounts of the first Tactical Air Control Party (TACPs) in Afghanistan and Iraq, and how Close Air Support fundamentally reshaped the American war machine in the first five years of the War on Terror.

    Less than an hour by train from New York City...Croton Point Park encapsulates the history, beauty and promise of the Hudson Valley. The Westchester County Park encompasses miles of Hudson River shoreline with astonishing views and remnants of the region's past. Incredible shell mounds shed light on the Native peoples who inhabited the area generations prior to European colonization. The remains of the first commercial vineyards in the Northeast are just steps away from historic brickyards that helped build Manhattan. The Point served as a dumping ground for years until local efforts restored the park into a model of environmental conservation. Today, bald eagles have returned to nest alongside visitors exploring remarkable landmarks, sailing the waters of the Hudson or enjoying a scenic picnic. Authors Scott Craven and Caroline Ranald Curvan present Westchester's crown jewel, Croton Point Park.

    Aztec Mythology - Gods Warriors...

    The Aztec Empire, one of the most powerful and complex civilizations of Mesoamerica, was not only remarkable for its military conquests and grand architecture but also for its deeply spiritual and mythological worldview. At the heart of Aztec society was a profound belief in the gods and the sacredness of ritual, which governed everything from daily life to the empire's grandest ceremonies. Aztec mythology, rich with gods, cosmic battles, and creation stories, shaped the culture and practices of this ancient civilization. Understanding Aztec mythology is essential to understanding the values, actions, and worldview of the Aztec people, as it provided the framework within which they interpreted their world and their place within it. 
    Aztec myths are not just stories of gods and heroes; they are a reflection of the Aztec's relationship with the cosmos, nature, and each other. These myths explained the origins of the world, the cycles of life, and the creation of humanity, often with gods battling forces of chaos and death to establish order and balance. The gods were not distant, abstract figures; they were seen as active forces in the world, deeply involved in the lives of the people. To the Aztecs, the gods gave life and demanded nourishment in return. This divine reciprocity was central to the practice of sacrifice, both human and material, which played a crucial role in maintaining the balance of the cosmos and ensuring the favor of the gods.

    The Hundred Years’ War - History...

    The Hundred Years' War was a series of prolonged and intense conflicts between the kingdoms of England and France, spanning from 1337 to 1453. At its core, the war was rooted in a bitter dispute over the French throne, which was claimed by both the English royal House of Plantagenet and the French House of Valois. This disagreement over succession became more than a dynastic struggle; it evolved into a broader geopolitical and cultural clash, drawing in various powers from across Western Europe. The war became a defining event in medieval history, fundamentally shaping the course of European politics, society, and warfare. 
    The conflict was not a single, continuous battle but a series of engagements, truces, and temporary pauses in fighting, lasting a staggering 116 years. Over five generations, English and French rulers alternated between direct conflict and negotiated ceasefires, each side hoping to gain an upper hand in the long-running struggle. The war is commonly divided into three main phases: the Edwardian War (1337–1360), the Caroline War (1369–1389), and the Lancastrian War (1415–1453). These stages were marked by shifts in momentum and power, with the English initially achieving significant victories but eventually losing their dominance in the final stages of the war. 
    One of the most significant outcomes of the Hundred Years' War was its profound impact on European warfare. Both England and France introduced new military strategies and technologies, including the use of professional standing armies and the widespread deployment of artillery. These advancements marked a dramatic shift away from the feudal levies and knightly combat that had previously defined medieval warfare. The use of the longbow by English archers, for example, proved particularly effective in the decisive Battle of Crécy in 1346, and the war’s artillery, such as cannons and siege weapons, changed the way battles were fought.
