  An Introduction to the Irish...

  During the Irish Civil War, events of late 1922 and early 1923 together with waves of 'dishonourable' killings created poisoned relations between Republicans and 'Free Staters' which would last for several generations. The most enduring of these controversies, a policy of summary executions carried out by the Provisional Government from November 1922, continues to surround the argument.
  
  
  This book offers a fresh perspective on the causes, development and consequences of the Irish Civil War. Triggered by the signing of the Anglo-Treaty, there were those that would accept nothing less than complete Irish independence. Very few IRA commanders active in the field supported the Treaty and, as happens often in the dissection of civil wars, controversy over the conduct of both sides figures heavily within the text, where,  at a local and national level, it left bitter legacies.
  
  
  This book offers an overview of the war in all regions of Ireland.

  Slavery and the Law: The History...

  Editors Charles River

  Ultimately, while the institution of slavery existed, the principle of protecting individual property rights prevailed, alongside a necessary acknowledgment that slaves were property first and sentient human beings second. It also required a great deal of careful drafting and verbal contortions to construct the Constitution for the young republic that supported those principles of freedom and equality while at the same time facilitating the perpetuation of the “peculiar institution.” 
  	It was not until 1865, with the adoption of the Thirteenth Amendment, the instrument that abolished slavery, that any overt mention of slavery found its way into the Constitution. Before that, direct reference was always carefully avoided, although, at the same time, unmistakably alluded to. The document is filled with provisions specific to slavery, protecting and codifying it on a federal level, without anywhere making direct or overt mention of it. By 1788, when the Constitution of the United States was formally adopted, slavery had been a fact of life in the colonies for 169 years, since the first recorded arrival of black Africans in Virginia in 1619. At that time, around the institution, had evolved a system of laws that were derived in the main from English common law. The irony here is that the regime of English common law was at its root hostile to the principle of human bondage, had no tradition of slavery to call upon, and was desirous on the whole to avoid making any overt judgment or pronouncement on the matter. It, therefore, fell to colonial lawmakers to resolve that essential contradiction between treating Africans as either people or property or both. This tension remained in play throughout the era of slavery in English-speaking America until the matter was finally resolved by the outcome of the American Civil War.

  Before 18: The Untold Stories of Drug Abuse – A Childhood Stained, a Voice Reclaimed 
  By Joseph Behnke 
  At just 19 years old, Joseph Behnke returns with a powerful second memoir — and this one cuts even deeper. 
  Before 18: The Untold Stories of Drug Abuse is a gripping continuation of the journey that began in In Joseph’s Footsteps, but it stands on its own as a brutally honest look into the darkest corners of growing up too fast, too rough, and too forgotten. 
  This isn’t just another chapter — it’s the part most people are too scared to tell. 
  Told in Joseph’s signature raw and unfiltered voice, this memoir unpacks the years he spent tangled in addiction — not just to substances, but to escape, to approval, to anyone or anything that made him feel something. He writes candidly about the pills, the powder, the needles, and the moments where rock bottom didn’t even feel low enough. And he also writes about the pain that came before the drugs — the childhood trauma, the broken relationships, the deep-seated shame, and the silent battles with identity that no one saw. 
  But this story is not just about drugs. It’s about damage — and the slow, imperfect path toward healing. 
  Joseph shares the relationships that broke him and the ones that built him back up. He reflects on the people he lost, the love he chased, and the moments that nearly made him give up. And somehow, through all of it, he finds a way to keep going — not as a hero, but as a human being trying his best. 
  If you’ve ever felt invisible, misunderstood, or like you were carrying a weight no one else could see, this book is for you. 
  This is not a redemption story wrapped up with a bow. It’s messy. It’s painful. It’s real. And that’s exactly why it matters.
