    Dead As Doornails

    Dead as Doornails, first published in 1976, brings back into print a true classic of Irish memoir. Anthony Cronin's account of life in post-war literary Dublin is as funny and colourful as one would expect from an intimate of Brendan Behan, Patrick Kavanagh and Myles na Gopaleen; but it is also a clear-eyed and bracing antidote to the kitsch that passes for literary history and memory in the Dublin of today. Cronin writes with remarkable subtlety of the frustrations and pathologies of this generation: the excess of drink, the shortage of sex, the insecurity and begrudgery, the painful limitations of cultural life, and the bittersweet pull of exile. We read of a comical sojourn in France with Behan, and of Cronin's years in London as a literary editor and a friend of the writer Julian Maclaren-Ross and the painters Robert MacBryde and Robert Colquhoun. The generation chronicled by Cronin was one of wasted promise. That waste is redressed through the shimmering prose of Dead as Doornails, earning its place in Irish literary history alongside the best works of Behan, Kavanagh and Myles.

    The legend of Cuban exile turned US government operative Ricardo Morales Navarrete has been known in espionage circles for decades. Dubbed "The Monkey" for his disruptive and unpredictable escapades, Morales grabbed headlines for decades as tales of his bombings, arrests, assassination attempts (both those he executed and those he suffered), and testimony constructed a real-life spy adventure unlike anything brought to page or screen.His story delves into diverse aspects of American history, including our nation's conflict with Cuba, our anti-communism military support overseas, JFK's story before and after the Bay of Pigs, and the explosion of the illegal narcotics industry in 1970s Miami. Morales was a contract agent for the CIA and a valuable asset for the FBI; he even shared how he'd met Lee Harvey Oswald at a CIA camp in Florida before JFK's assassination. Morales's counterintelligence skills-for-hire were also a prized utility for Cuban drug kingpins in Miami, many of whom were discarded ex-CIA operatives.Monkey Morales blends James Bond, Rambo, and Scarface—a concoction of danger, politics, and family drama told in its entirety for the first time by authors Sean Oliver and Morales's son, Ricardo Morales, Jr.

    Would you like to delve deeper into the life of Winston Churchill without tackling lengthy biographies? Join The History Journals for an hour-long historical journey focused on his role during World War II. 
 
After guiding the nation through five tumultuous years of World War II, Winston Churchill faced weariness and uncertainty about Britain's post-war future. What were his thoughts? The seasoned leader harbored concerns that the British Empire, exhausted and financially strained from prolonged conflict, might be overshadowed by its more potent American and Russian allies as the war neared its conclusion. Churchill had devoted his all to King and country, and while an Allied victory promised to be his crowning achievement, he remained prudent. Astonishingly, his continued tenure as the nation's Prime Minister was far from guaranteed. 
 
Discover: 
- Churchill's apprehensions regarding Stalin and post-war Russia's influence 
- The significance of the Okinawa battle in the European war's outcome 
- Global awareness of multiple concentration camp atrocities 
- The transition following FDR's funeral and Harry S. Truman's international emergence

    The House in the Ashen Sea is a haunting allegory about hope, kindness, and the quiet erosion of innocence in a world that has forgotten its color. Set in a gray and fading landscape where compassion has outlived truth, it tells the story of a house built as a refuge — and what happens when protection becomes denial. 
Through dreamlike language and philosophical reflection, the book explores the limits of goodness, the fragility of memory, and the beauty that persists even as the world dissolves. The House in the Ashen Sea is not a tale of despair, but a hymn to endurance — to the fragile courage of those who keep lighting lanterns, even when the sea has turned to ash.

This does not have to be the end, but just the beginning. I invite you to live my life with me through these pages of how I went from Battles to Breakthrough, from Sacrifice to Surrender and from FIGHT to Freedom!
