Summary

Secret Undergrounds unveils the hidden history of subterranean complexes and their profound impact on military history and covert operations. From ancient defensive structures to Cold War bunkers, the book explores why humanity constructed these secret underground cities and the roles they played in critical historical moments. These subterranean spaces were integral to military and intelligence strategies, facilitating covert communications, housing clandestine operations, and providing refuge during conflict.

 
The book examines the evolution of underground construction techniques, from antiquity to the modern day, highlighting the ingenuity and resourcefulness invested in these projects. For example, the Maginot Line and the extensive tunnel networks in Vietnam showcase how these spaces were not merely shelters but strategic assets.

 
Using historical documents, declassified military reports, and archaeological findings, the book connects to fields like archaeology and engineering to enhance our understanding of how subterranean construction reflects broader historical trends. Structured to examine key themes in separate chapters, Secret Undergrounds starts with an overview of the earliest known underground structures, progresses through case studies from both World Wars and the Cold War, and culminates with an assessment of their legacy.

 
This exploration offers a fresh perspective on how subterranean spaces have shaped conflicts and influenced intelligence operations, making it a valuable resource for military history enthusiasts and students of Cold War history.

    The head of the Guinness family tells the dramatic true story of how his ancestors created the largest brewery in the world.
    Growing up at Farmleigh, the country house outside Dublin, Arthur Edward Guinness – Ned for short – was fascinated by the secrets and legends that surrounded the early generations of his famous family of brewers.
    Against the backdrop of epic and convulsive times in Ireland and Britain, he explores the struggles and passions of his ancestors, who went from obscurity in Kildare to the pinnacle of Irish and British society.
    Each generation confronted new challenges until the dramatic events when the author's great-great-grandfather bought out his glamorous older brother and floated Guinness on the stock exchange. Overnight Edward Cecil Guinness became Ireland's richest man.
    This is a tale in which brewing genius, sibling rivalry, bounteous philanthropy and astonishing social mobility are interwoven with historic national events, including the Act of Union, Catholic Emancipation, the Famine, the Home Rule movement, the Dublin Lockout and ultimately Irish independence. It is the inside story, as told by Ned Guinness.
     
    "This book is far more than an account of the commercial success of Guinness; it's also a love letter to the city which produced it."
    – The Irish Independent
     
    "The definitive history of the Guinness brewing dynasty"
    – The Irish Independent
     
    "A fantastic book"

    The Grammar of Self - Collected...

    In THE GRAMMAR OF SELF, George Watt presents a lifetime of memories, which seemingly move at random from decade to decade, from continent to continent, from cosmos to microcosm. It does have one central goal: to look at poetry as an attempt towards objectification of aspects of personal identity, as a means through which the self may be confronted, challenged and celebrated. But the volume of verse does more than that as it subscribes to a notion from Thomas Szasz about the self: it is “not something that one finds. It is something that one creates.” (T.S. Szasz, The Second Sin (New York: Anchor Press, 1973, p. 49.) This volume accepts that the poetic text, or multiples thereof, is one means through which a self finds articulation. This articulation is open-ended, chaotic, composed of innumerable experiential fragments that come from deed, time, place and person. The self in this volume is composed of psychic jigsaw pieces (single poems) each of which assert their right to placement, but which will never collate into a perfect picture. This volume of poetry is a collection of many of these pieces, which together present an incomplete movement towards Szaszian self-creation.
