Hereafter - The Telling Life of...

Vona Groarke

A lyrical portrait of a young Irish woman reinventing herself at the turn of the twentieth century in America. 
 
 
 
In July 1882, Ellen O'Hara stepped off a ship from the West of Ireland to begin a new life in New York. What she encountered was a world of casual racial prejudice that characterized her as ignorant, dirty, and feckless, the butt of many jokes. From the slim range of jobs available to her she, like, many of her kind, found a position as a domestic servant, working long hours and living in to save on rent and keep. After an unfortunate marriage, Ellen determined to win financial security on her own, and eventually opened a boarding house where her two children were able to rejoin her. 
 
 
 
Vona Groarke builds this story from historical fact, drawing from various archives for evidence of Ellen. However, she also considers why lives such as Ellen's seem to leave such a light trace in such records and fills in the gaps with memory and empathetic projection. Ellen—scrappy, skeptical, and straight-talking—is the heroine of Hereafter, whose resilience animates the story and whose voice shines through with vivid clarity. Hereafter is both a compelling account of an incredible figure and a reflection on how one woman's story can speak for more than one life.

Praxis Tacticum - The Art...

Colonel Charles S. Oliviero

Pundits have long predicted the end of conventional warfare but for the foreseeable future, 
it is here to stay. Counterinsurgency, guerrilla warfare, terrorism, peace enforcement, policing. 
 
 
 
All these forms, like conventional warfare, are as old as mankind. Modern militaries claim to be 
professional bodies, responsible for the education, control, and discipline of their members. But at least one aspect of this claim is poorly executed: tactics are not taught to junior leaders, which is why this guide is essential for all junior leaders, officers, and NCOs alike. 
 
 
 
There is a military adage that there is no teacher like the enemy. True; but the wise commander 
prepares to meet that enemy and become their teacher instead. This is your essential study guide.
