Summary

Political Art Conflicts delves into the intricate relationship between warfare and art, revealing how military actions have driven the looting, destruction, and manipulation of art for propaganda across history. The book explores the vulnerability of art during conflicts and the evolution of international laws intended to protect cultural property, laws often disregarded in wartime. It examines how art has been systematically stolen as spoils, deliberately destroyed as a tool for cultural erasure, and strategically used as propaganda to shape public opinion. The book is structured around these three central themes, drawing from historical archives, military records, and art historical analyses. Case studies span diverse periods and regions, including World War II and conflicts in the Middle East.

 
The book differentiates itself by focusing on the active role of art within conflicts, examining the specific political and military objectives that motivated the misuse or destruction of art. Written for a broad audience, Political Art Conflicts offers a comprehensive understanding of the complex relationship between military history, art history, and political science. The book progresses by first establishing the landscape of art and war and then diving into how art is looted, destroyed, and used as propaganda. It encourages readers to consider the enduring value of art as a reflection of human history and a vital component of cultural identity.

       'Donoghue was alert to the idea of the unsayable, as he circled around the idea of language itself as pliable material, all the more beautiful for that and worthy of our full consideration, but yielding at times to further levels of mystery...' from foreword by Colm Tóibín   
In this last written work, the internationally renowned Irish literary critic Denis Donoghue brings an acute critical intelligence to bear on the late novels of Henry James. One of the greatest novelists in the English language, Henry James (1843-1916) was an American-British author who is regarded as a key transitional figure between literary realism and literary modernism.
James's The Portrait of a Lady (1881) was the central achievement of his early period. The Turn of the Screw (1898) was a high-point of Gothic literature. In The Correction of Taste, Denis Donoghue offers a close reading of James's final novels, taking as his starting point an observation by T.S. Eliot about the function of literary criticism. Exploring a succession of works such as The Ambassadors (1903), The Wings of the Dove (1902) and The Golden Bowl (1905), Donoghue brings into sharp focus the complex layers of James's literary genius.

    'When you attain the Way of strategy, there will not be one thing you cannot see.'

Shortly before his death in 1645, the undefeated swordsman Miyamoto Musashi retreated to a cave to live as a hermit. There he wrote five scrolls describing the "true principles" required for victory in the martial arts and on the battlefield. Instead of relying on religion or theory, Musashi based his writings on his own experience, observation, and reason.
