The History of Ireland - From the Earliest Period to the Emancipation of the Catholics

Thomas D'Arcy McGee

Beschreibung

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.

John F Kennedy - His Life His...

Kelly Mass

JFK, or John Fitzgerald Kennedy, was an American political leader who functioned as the 35th President of the US from 1961 till his assassination to the conclusion of his 3rd year in office. Kennedy was president throughout the height of the Cold War, and the majority of his time in office was spent handling the Soviet Union and Cuba. Prior to his presidency, Kennedy acted as a Democrat in both homes of Congress, representing Massachusetts. 
Much controversy exists about the war in Vietnam and other aspects of the Cold War that John F. Kennedy dealt with. Many conspiracy theories exist about this assassination, and all of this has become a big part of the American history and culture in the 20th century. Personally, I think it would be wise to study this part of history a little, with its significant impact on worldwide events, coalitions, cease-fires, wars, and more.

The American Imperative -...

Daniel F. Runde

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.
