In "The Open Secret of Ireland," Tom Kettle offers a profound exploration of the sociopolitical fabric of Ireland during a time of tumultuous change. This seminal work is characterized by Kettle's lyrical prose and nuanced analysis, deftly weaving together historical context, cultural critique, and personal reflections. The book sheds light on the intricacies of Irish identity and nationalism, thoughtfully addressing themes of independence and belonging amidst the backdrop of Ireland's early 20th-century struggle for self-determination. Kettle's insightful observations resonate with the turbulent political landscape of his time, inviting readers to contemplate the broader implications of Ireland's quest for identity. Tom Kettle, an Irish nationalist, poet, and politician, was deeply affected by the sociopolitical atmosphere of his era. His multifaceted career as an educator and a soldier during World War I imbued him with a unique perspective on conflict and reconciliation. Kettle's writings reflect his commitment to his homeland and his enduring belief in the possibility of national unity, making his voice a critical one in the discourse surrounding Irish independence. His personal experiences and ideological struggles inform the depth and urgency present in this book. Engaging and thought-provoking, "The Open Secret of Ireland" is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of Irish history and identity. Kettle's work offers not only a reflection on past struggles but also resonates with contemporary issues of nationalism and cultural integrity. Readers will find Kettle's arguments invigorating and essential in the exploration of what it means to be Irish in a world that constantly evolves.

    From a historian, retired fighter pilot, and combat aviation specialist, “the finest book yet written about the air war over Europe during World War II.” (Air & Space, Smithsonian magazine ) As described by award-winning author Jay A. Stout, the 352nd Fighter Group was one of the Eighth Air Force's most successful fighter units and counted history's two top-scoring P-51 aces among its ranks.  This book—the most comprehensive work ever to cover the actions of a single USAAF fighter unit—details the air actions of not only the group's notable aces, but also the rank-and-file fliers who carried the bulk of the load.  It describes the 352nd’s activities from its formation at the close of 1942, its movement to England and its combat operations flying P-47s and P-51s against the Third Reich. Although the book covers the units actions as a whole, it also follows several pilots in detail.  Rich descriptions of tactics and equipment, personal reflections, letters home, amusing anecdotes and, of course, detailed descriptions of air combat.  Not simply an award-winning historian, Stout draws from his own combat experience as a fighter pilot to make these discussions credible, interesting and real.  Winner of the San Diego Book Award for History. “Stout’s crisp, concise writing powers a narrative that highlights a collection of aviators who destroyed more than 700 German aircraft. The book is certain to take its place with other memorable accounts of European combat.” —John F. Wukovits, author of Black Sheep

    Was Navalny deliberately poisoned? Does the evidence we have justify sanctions against Russia? Was the recording with the KGB agent a set-up? Is Navalny really the "main opponent of Vladimir Putin"? Does his film about "Putin's Palace" reflect reality? This book is the first investigation of the Navalny case. It is based on official American, British, Russian, French and German documents. Written by an ex-agent of the Swiss secret service who fought for ten years against the Soviet Union, this account highlights a new way of practicing foreign policy: passionate, disordered, without hindsight or constructive purpose. The immediate application of sanctions while the facts remain unclear removes all space for diplomacy. The Western unison around this affair and the censorship against dissenting voices reveal a disturbing evolution of society and its growing vulnerability to manipulation. We create realities out of our prejudices: this is the definition of conspiracy, which has become the main weapon of Western countries. We do what we reproach the autocrats for. Jacques Baud, a colonel in the Swiss army, is an expert in chemical and nuclear weapons, and trained in counter-terrorism and counter-guerrilla warfare. In the service of the United Nations, he was head of doctrine for peacekeeping operations in New York, and engaged in Africa. At NATO, he led the fight against the proliferation of small arms.

    Sneha Mathan narrates these luminous essays on translation and self-translation by award-winning writer and literary translator Jhumpa Lahiri
    
    With an introduction, afterword, and acknowledgements read by the author
    Translating Myself and Others is a collection of candid and disarmingly personal essays by Pulitzer Prize–winning author Jhumpa Lahiri, who reflects on her emerging identity as a translator as well as a writer in two languages.
    
    With subtlety and emotional immediacy, Lahiri draws on Ovid's myth of Echo and Narcissus to explore the distinction between writing and translating, and provides a close reading of passages from Aristotle's Poetics to talk more broadly about writing, desire, and freedom. She traces the theme of translation in Antonio Gramsci's Prison Notebooks and takes up the question of Italo Calvino's popularity as a translated author. Lahiri considers the unique challenge of translating her own work from Italian to English, the question "Why Italian?," and the singular pleasures of translating contemporary and ancient writers.
    
    Featuring essays originally written in Italian and published in English for the first time, as well as essays written in English, Translating Myself and Others brings together Lahiri's most lyrical and eloquently observed meditations on the translator's art as a sublime act of both linguistic and personal metamorphosis.
