  The untold story of Ireland's forgotten prisoners. In the shadow of civil war, over 5,500 republican prisoners found themselves trapped behind the wire at Newbridge Barracks and the Curragh internment camps — imprisoned by former comrades who had once fought alongside them against the British. There, they discovered a bitter truth and a regime that answered defiance with execution and brutality. Their old allies in the Free State forces proved far more ruthless captors than their colonial predecessors had ever been. While no prisoners had died under British custody during the War of Independence, over two dozen internees would lose their lives at the hands of their ex-brothers-in-arms. Among the internees were men who would make their mark on Irish history, including unrepentant republicans and writers such as Ernie O'Malley and Peadar O'Donnell, as well as Seán Lemass, future Taoiseach, and John Higgins, the father of President Michael D. Higgins. Despite the harsh realities of camp life, the prisoners' spirit remained unbroken. Two legendary escapes followed — 112 men tunnelling to freedom out of Newbridge Barracks, then 71 more from Tintown Camp. The internees staged Ireland's largest hunger strike and maintained their resistance even as their captors' brutality reached the highest levels of government. Drawing on primary sources and firsthand accounts, historian James Durney reveals how the final battles of the Civil War were fought not on battlefields, but in the jails and camps where former comrades became bitter enemies — a dark chapter in Irish history that has remained hidden for too long.

  The tireless resistance of local communities fighting for ownership of America's third largest water system 
   
   
    
  Toxic Water, Toxic System exposes the consequences of a seemingly anonymous authoritarian state willing to maintain white supremacy at any cost—including poisoning an entire city and shutting off water to thousands of people. Weaving together narratives of frontline activists along with archival data, Michael Mascarenhas provides a powerful exploration of the political alliances and bureaucratic mechanisms that uphold inequality. 
   
   
    
  Drawing from three years of ethnographic fieldwork in Flint and Detroit, this book amplifies the voices of marginalized communities, particularly African American women, whose perspectives and labor have been consistently overlooked. Toxic Water, Toxic System offers a fresh perspective on the ties between urban austerity policies, environmental harm, and the advancement of white supremacist agendas in predominantly Black and brown cities.

  The Gita is a talk between prince Arjuna and his charioteer Krishna. At the start of the Dharma Yudhha (righteous war) between the Pandavas and Kauravas, Arjuna is filled with great moral dilemma and despair about the violence and death the war will cause in the battle against his own kin. He wonders if he should renounce and seeks Krishna's counsel, whose answers constitute the Bhagavad Gita. Krishna counsels Arjuna to "fulfill his Kshatriya (warrior) duty to uphold the Dharma" through "selfless action".The Krishna–Arjuna dialogues cover a broad range of spiritual topics, touching upon ethical dilemmas and philosophical issues that go far beyond the war Arjuna faces. According to some, Bhagavad Gita is written by Lord Ganesha and was told to him by Vyasa. The setting of the Gita is a great battlefield. The Bhagavad Gita presents a synthesis of ideas about dharma, theistic bhakti, and the yogic ideals of moksha.The text covers jnana, bhakti, karma, and Raja Yoga. The Gita's call for selfless action inspired many leaders of the Indian independence movement including Mahatma Gandhi; the latter referred to it as his "spiritual dictionary.
