Synopsis

"Shadow Gods" explores the intriguing world of dark deities and their significant influence on ancient religious traditions. It argues that understanding gods of death, chaos, and transgression is crucial for a complete picture of ancient belief systems. These figures, often representing humanity's deepest fears, reveal how ancient societies grappled with universal anxieties like death and the unknown. For example, deities like Hades and Anubis played key roles in funerary rites and conceptions of the afterlife, highlighting the psychological impact of mortality. The book examines various shadow gods across mythologies, drawing from ancient texts, archaeological findings, and scholarly research. It begins by introducing comparative mythology and historical contexts, then progresses through themes of death, chaos, and transgression. Deities such as Set and Loki are analyzed to uncover their roles in embodying societal fears and challenging social norms. This approach provides a more nuanced understanding of how ancient religions used these figures to address the darker aspects of human existence, offering a unique perspective for those interested in religion and history.

    David Burke uncovers the clandestine activities of Patrick Crinnion, a Garda intelligence officer who secretly served MI6 during the early years of the Troubles. As the Garda Síochána launched a manhunt for the Chief-of-Staff of the IRA, Crinnion found himself playing a crucial role in the effort to track him down.
     Before his disappearance, Crinnion's actions exposed a web of secrets including those of another British spy in the Irish police, damaging intelligence leaks, gunrunning by Irish politicians, and a cover-up related to the murder of a Garda.
     Burke reveals MI6's shady dealings, from attempts to smear Irish politicians to plans for using criminals as assassins and the secret surveillance of a key IRA member.
     Crinnion fled into exile. The Puppet Masters not only reveals what became of him but also provides an insightful look into a turbulent period marked by covert operations, betrayal, and the power struggle that shaped modern Irish history.

    North to Boston - Life Histories...

    Between World War II and 1980, tens of thousands of Black people moved to Boston from the South as part of the Great Migration, one of the most consequential mass movements of people in American history. Black migration from the South transformed the city, as it did urban areas across the country. North to Boston is the first book to examine that important subject. 
     
     
     
    Blake Gumprecht traces the history of this migration and explores its impacts in greater depth through the lives of ten individuals, each the subject of one chapter. Those chapters are short biographies based on extensive interviews by the author and are told in an engaging style that reflects the author's background as a journalist. 
     
     
     
    The ten people featured came from six southern states. They fled racism, limited opportunity, and hopelessness, and moved north in pursuit of better jobs, equal treatment, and greater freedom. They settled in neighborhoods such as Roxbury, Dorchester, and Mattapan. They worked as teachers, factory workers, welders, and security guards. Their stories are emblematic of the experiences of Black people everywhere who left the South, and provide a rare glimpse into the lives of ordinary people living in one city's Black community.

    The aspects of Anne Boleyn's life and death are fiercely debated by historians, yet her ladies-in-waiting remain an understudied topic. Much emphasis is usually put on Anne's relationships with the men in her life: her suitors, her royal husband, her father and brother, and her putative lovers who were executed on May 17, 1536. By concentrating on a previously neglected area of Anne Boleyn's female household, this book seeks to identify the women who served Anne and investigate what roles ladies-in-waiting played in this Queen's household.
