Summary

In "The History of Ireland," Thomas D'Arcy McGee meticulously chronicles the tumultuous past of Ireland from ancient times through the 19th century. McGee employs a vivid narrative style, blending historical fact with lyrical prose, making complex events accessible and engaging. This work emerges from a period marked by political upheaval and cultural revival, positioned within the broader context of nationalist movements across Europe, and reflects McGee's profound understanding of Ireland's socio-political fabric, enhancing its relevance in Irish historiography. Thomas D'Arcy McGee, an emigrant from Ireland to Canada, epitomizes the dual identity that inspired this work; a nationalist steeped in the struggles of his homeland, he sought to counteract prevailing British narratives. His experiences as a journalist and politician deeply informed his analysis, motivating him to advocate for Irish self-determination while celebrating its rich heritage. McGee's immersion in both the Canadian and Irish political landscapes provides a unique lens through which he addresses issues of identity, belonging, and governance. This book is essential for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of Irish identity and history. McGee's balanced approach and eloquent style render it a valuable resource for scholars and casual readers alike, encouraging a deeper appreciation of Ireland's multifaceted past.

    In Fast Jets on the Front Line, Alan Munro reflects on his time in the RAF and the Cold War jets which he flew. Having started his career after basic training on the Gloster Javelin with No. 228 OCU, Alan went on to become a flying instructor at No. 1 Flying Training School, Linton-on-Ouse. But with the United Kingdom's withdrawal from East of Suez, he found himself with a ground posting and questioning whether he would see front-line flying again. Luckily for Alan, this wasn't the case and he was soon posted to Lightnings and Harriers before returning to 228 OCU to fly on Phantoms.It is Alan's time on the Phantoms that is the main crux of this book. He discusses how the withdrawal of Lightnings from the air force changed the Phantom's role from attack to defense and the impact this had on Phantom squadrons like 29 Squadron which he flew on. A move to RAF Germany saw Alan find the front-line action he craved during his ground posting and he joined 19 Squadron as they became operational and part of RAF Germany's Battle Flight. During his time with RAF Germany, Alan flew with a number of NATO countries and he recounts tales of squadron exchanges. This then led to a tour at the NATO Tactical Leadership Programme in Jever, north Germany before he finished his time in the RAF on the Tornado GR1 in the early 1990s.

    Empath - Understanding The...

    We are all born with a certain degree of empathy. For some people, this quality is extremely intense and difficult to manage, leading them to be labelled “highly sensitive” or “empaths.” These individuals are often misdiagnosed with conditions such as anxiety or depression because their emotional sensitivities are so pronounced. However, new research is emerging that suggests highly sensitive empaths can actually thrive in life if they learn how to manage their sensitivities properly. 
Highly sensitive people (HSP) are a unique breed. They make up only around 15-20 per cent of the population and are known for their heightened intuition, deep empathizing abilities, and propensity for introspection. This makes them incredibly insightful and caring individuals, but can also lead to a lot of stress and overwhelm.

    It's time for America to get back in the international leadership game. 
 
 
 
What should our global strategy look like in an age of renewed great power competition? And what must America offer to a newly empowered developing world when we're no longer the only major player? 
 
 
 
In The American Imperative, international development expert Daniel Runde makes the case for building a new global consensus through vigorous internationalism and the judicious use of soft power. Runde maps out many of the steps that we need to take—primarily in the non-military sphere—to ensure an alliance of stable and secure, like-minded, self-reliant partner nations in order to prevent rising authoritarian powers such as China from running the world.
