First published in 1949, Guerilla Days in Ireland is an extraordinary story of the Irish War of Independence and the fight between two unequal forces, which ended in the withdrawal of the British from twenty-six counties. Seven weeks before the Truce of July 1921, the British presence in County Cork consisted of a total of over 12,500 men. Against these British forces stood the Irish Republican Army whose flying columns never exceeded 310 riflemen in the whole of the county. These flying columns were small groups of dedicated Volunteers, severely commanded and disciplined. Constantly on the move, their paramount objective was merely to exist, to strike when conditions were favourable and to avoid disaster at all costs. In Guerilla Days in Ireland Tom Barry describes the setting up of the West Cork flying column, its training and the plan of campaign, which he implemented. In particular he gives his account of the Kilmichael ambush, one of the most controversial episodes of the War of Independence.

Andrew Gimson, ConservativeHome"Clearly written, lively and perceptive, and contains much insight on the complex world of Tory politics." Vernon Bogdanor, Prospect Magazine***The speed of Rishi Sunaks advance to 10 Downing Street is without precedent in modern British politics. In mid-2019, he was an unknown junior minister; seven months later, he became Chancellor of the Exchequer; and by October 2022, he had secured the highest office in the land. Aged forty-two, he was Britains youngest Prime Minister in more than 200 years.Michael Ashcrofts biography first published in 2020 and now fully revised and updated charts Sunaks ascent to the University of Oxford, the City of London, Silicon Valley and Westminster before assuming the most powerful job in the country in chaotic circumstances.It is the story of a clever and hard-working son of immigrant parents who marries an heiress and makes a fortune of his own; a polished southerner who wins over the voters of North Yorkshire; a fiscal conservative who becomes the biggest-spending Chancellor in history; and a fastidious political operator tasked with reuniting the Conservative Party and repairing an economy in flux.Casting new light on Sunaks tense working relationship with his predecessor, Boris Johnson, All to Play For shows what makes him tick ahead of a general election whose outcome will have profound consequences for Britain.

A sensational affair.. carried out with great audacity - New York Times. An astonishing act of piracy, the capture of the British war ship, the Upnor changed the course of Irelands Civil War. Flawless in its planning and execution, while Winston Churchill remarked on Irish genius for conspiracy, a furious Michael Collins accused the British of deliberately arming his enemies. Indeed, its highly likely that the bullet that killed him originated in the Upnor.The Ballycotton Job brings this riveting story to life, its cast of disparate characters and strands of adventure beautifully woven together. This book sees events leading up to the capture as well as the consequences of the Upnor seizure discussed in detail. Based on years of archival research, it tells a unique story of both sides, Irish and British. The books fast-paced narrative is enlivened by dialogue and details obtained from interviews with participants.Ireland teetered on the verge of civil war, the IRA splitting into anti-Treaty and pro-Treaty stance, Michael Collins and the Provisional Government on the pro-Treaty side. Corks Sean OHegarty, the local anti-Treaty IRA leader, prevented Collins National Army from entering the city. As the British evacuated soldiers and equipment back to England, OHegarty came up with a brilliant plan to capture the munitions en route. Commandeering a tugboat from the Royal Navy base at Queenstown/Cobh, they sped out of the fortified harbour on a mission. Simultaneously, over eighty trucks and lorries were hijacked all across Cork, leaving citizens mystified as to what was going on.In a clever ruse, the IRA squad captured arms ship Upnor, bringing it into the small port of Ballycotton. The village, now under the control of IRA fighters, witnessed the unloading of weaponry onto waiting lorries then driven off to secret arms dumps throughout Cork. OHegartys men seized eighty tons of arms, subsequently distributed to southern IRA divisions during the Civil War. This audacious act of piracy caused a sensation. A field day for the newspapers, The Irish Independent called it an amazing exploit; The Timesa clever and daring coup.

The four volumes of spokesman and strategist Alastair Campbells diaries were a publishing sensation. As British Prime Minister Tony Blairs right-hand man, former journalist and political analyst Campbell played a critical role in every aspect of New Labour strategy.

Newly annotated and fully revised by Campbell and featuring commissioned material by key figures in the Irish peace process such as former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern,Tony Blair and Alastair Campbell himself, The Irish Diaries is invaluable for readers with an interest in Irish history.

Over the last ten years, journalist and al-Qaida expert Abdel Bari Atwan has cultivated uniquely well-placed sources and amassed a wealth of information about al-Qaidas origins, masterminds and plans for the future. Atwan reveals how al-Qaidas radical departure from the classic terrorist/guerrilla blueprint has enabled it to outpace less adaptable efforts to neutralize it. The fanaticism of its fighters, and their willingness to kill and be killed, are matched by the leaderships opportunistic recruitment strategies and sophisticated understanding of psychology, media, and new technology - including the use of the internet for training, support, and communications. Atwan shows that far from committing acts of violence randomly and indiscriminately, al-Qaida attacks targets according to a decisive design underwritten by unwavering patience. He also argues that events in Iraq and Saudi Arabia are watershed moments in the groups evolution that are making it more dangerous by the day, as it refines and appropriates the concept of jihad and makes the suicide bomber a permanent feature of a global holy war. While Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri remain al-Qaidas figureheads, Atwan identifies a new kind of leader made possible by its horizontal chain of command, epitomized by the brutal Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in Iraq and the bombers of London, Madrid, Amman, Bali, and elsewhere.

In this completely revised and updated book, T. Ryle Dwyer, offers a fresh perspective on Collins activities. With new information about his role in organising the IRB in London in his youth right through to his death in 1922, Dwyers analysis supports the case for Collins as the chief architect of the Irish victory over the British Empire. Michael Collins co-ordinated the sweeping Sinn Fein election victory of 1918 and put structure on the organisation of the IRA. He was the prototype of the urban terrorist and the architect of the war against the Black and Tans. While many have questioned whether Collins ever fired a shot at an enemy of Ireland, he did order the deaths of people standing in his way, and he even advocated kidnapping a US President.

Hoy, quien aspira a un cambio político, sea en España o en el resto del mundo, ha de acercarse al mundo de la comunicación. Conocer cómo funciona el big data, cómo una noticia se hace viral o de cómo Google y Facebook estan disputando a los medios de comunicacion tradicionales el ser las principales fuentes de acceso y difusion de la informacion y su influencia en la construccion de audiencias y preferencias, resulta imprescindible para toda politica y saber politico. Como sostiene Juan Carlos Monedero en su prologo, el autor de este libro nos recuerda que Clausewitz afirmo que la guerra es la continuacion de la politica por otros medios y que Lenin añadio que la politica era la continuacion de la guerra por otros medios. Los medios de comunicacion y las redes sociales son un campo de batalla implacable. ¿Que relacion tienen los medios de comunicacion con la politica? ¿Como se hace politica en las redes sociales? ¿Como se piensan y diseñan las campañas y los discursos? ¿Hay una caja de herramientas para hacer politica? ¿Primero el ideologo o el responsable de prensa? ¿Que es hacer ImageNews? ¿Por que el Tramabus? ¿Que se escondia detras de la investidura de Pedro Sanchez? Juanma del Olmo desarrolla con claridad y sencillez las claves que permiten comprender lo que pasa en la sala de maquinas de la politica. Sin acercarse a la comunicacion politica no se puede comprender lo necesario de la politica ni de los politicos.

En un tiempo en el que lo personal nunca pudo ser más político, Ramón Jáuregui (San Sebastián, 1948) convierte sus reflexiones e inquietudes políticas en una suerte de autobiografía. “Han sido tantos

"Perdóname, perdóname, no lo he conseguido parar". Estas fueron las palabras de Miquel Iceta a Carles Puigdemont la noche del 26 de octubre de 2017 en el Palau, después de negociar con los mayores responsables del Gobierno español el freno de ultima hora del articulo 155 en Catalunya. Este es uno de los muchos entresijos, conversaciones, presiones, chantajes e incluso lagrimas que se han producido a lo largo de todo este tiempo. Especialmente el mes de octubre de 2017 pasara a la historia como el de las intrigas, muchas de ellas relatadas aqui por uno de los testigos que mas cerca ha estado y mejor conoce los detalles del proces, el periodista Oriol March. Asi, este libro es una cronica desde dentro de lo acontecido en las reuniones del Estado Mayor del proces, de la salida de parte del Govern a Bruselas, de las tensiones entre los partidarios de la Republica. Un relato sobre las diferencias entre Carles Puigdemont y Oriol Junqueras, sobre las presiones de la CUP, sobre las presiones empresariales, sobre los movimientos de Marta Pascal y altos dirigentes del PDeCAT para que el president retirase las urnas el 1 de octubre ante la contundente actuacion policial. Una de las mayores intrigas se relaciona con la advertencia de que habria un baño de sangre si no se detenia la declaracion de independencia, pero ¿de donde procedia? Durante el proces, no todo fue predecible, de hecho, como afirma un alto cargo del Govern, hasta el 1-O habia un plan y fuimos trampeando. El problema es que nadie contaba con que la cosa saldria mas o menos bien.

Se puede decir que esta obra intenta estudiar el derecho a la intimidad en su sentido más amplio, o dicho de otra forma los diferentes derechos a la intimidad, pues son varios los derechos que limitan las libertades de expresion e informacion. Y siempre pensamos que habia que estudiar el tema desde una prespectiva multidisciplinar, pues la intimidad tiene muchas facetas, tanto juridicas -constitucional, civil, penal-, como periodisticas. Por ello en esta obra intervienen profesores y doctores de todas esas disciplinas.Se trata pues de una obra colectiva, multi-disciplinar, inter-universitaria e internacional. Los adjetivos definen las caracteristicas relativas a la autoria y al derecho estudiado. Los adjetivos sobre su contenido ya no dependen de nosotros, aunque creemos haber trabajado los distintos capitulos con mimo y con pasion, porque estos temas despiertan mucho interes en todos los que hemos intervenido.(Texto extraido de la presentacion del libro a cargo de Antonio Fayos Gardo)
