This incredible book is very, very important. Damien Dempsey In November 2008, Tomás Mac Conmara sat with a 105 five-year-old woman at a nursing home in Clare. While gently moving through her memories, he asked the east Clare native; Do you remember the time that four lads were killed on the Bridge of Killaloe?. Almost immediately, the womans countenance changed to deep outward sadness. Her recollection took him back to 17th November 1920, when news of the brutal death of four men, who became known as the Scariff Martyrs, was revealed to the local community. Late the previous night, on the bridge of Killaloe they were shot by British Forces, who claimed they had attempted to escape. Locals insisted they were murdered. A story remembered for 100 years is now fully told. This incident presents a remarkable confluence of dimensions. The young rebels committed to a cause. Their betrayal by a spy, their torture and evident refusal to betray comrades, the loneliness and liminal nature of their site of death on a bridge. The withholding of their dead bodies and their collective burial. All these dimensions bequeath a moment which carries an enduring quality that has reverberated across the generations and continues to strike a deep chord within the local landscape of memory in East Clare and beyond.

The Art of War Niccolo Machiavelli - The Art of War (Italian: Dellarte della guerra) is a treatise by the Italian Renaissance political philosopher and historian Niccolo Machiavelli. The format of The Art of War is a socratic dialogue. The purpose, declared by Lord Fabrizio Colonna (perhaps Machiavellis persona) at the outset, "To honor and reward virtu, not to have contempt for poverty, to esteem the modes and orders of military discipline, to constrain citizens to love one another, to live without factions, to esteem less the private than the public good." To these ends, Machiavelli notes in his preface, the military is like the roof of a palazzo protecting the contents. Written between 1519 and 1520 and published the following year, it was Machiavellis only historical or political work printed during his lifetime, though he was appointed official historian of Florence in 1520 and entrusted with minor civil duties

The Influence of Sea Power Upon History is a history of naval warfare by United States naval officer and historian Alfred Thayer Mahan. It details the role of sea power during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and discussed the various factors needed to support and achieve sea power, with emphasis on having the largest and most powerful fleet. It is considered the single most influential book in naval strategy and its policies were quickly adopted by most major navies, ultimately leading to the World War I naval arms race. Mahan began the book with an examination of what factors led to supremacy of the seas, especially how Great Britain was able to rise to its near dominance. He identified such features as geography, population, and government, and expanded the definition of sea power as comprising a strong navy and commercial fleet. Mahan also promoted the belief that any army would succumb to a strong naval blockade. The book then goes on to describe a series of European and American wars and how naval power was used in each.

El bienio 2010-2012 corresponde a la etapa en la que culminó la política de pacificación del conflicto armado por parte del Gobierno colombiano contra las FARC-EP por vías exclusivamente militares. Para entonces, el desgaste de la llamada tesis del fin del fin (segun la cual esa guerrilla estaba inminentemente derrotada) y la continuidad de los hechos de guerra condujeron a ambos actores hacia la busqueda de la paz por la via del dialogo.El mayor desafio de este viraje se presento en el ambito discursivo: ¿como sentarse a dialogar con el enemigo sin reconocer ante el y ante la opinion publica el desgaste del proyecto militar y politico en ambos bandos? Esta es justamente la pregunta de la que se ocupa este libro, y a partir de la cual es posible poner en evidencia un fenomeno ignorado en el estudio del conflicto colombiano: el hecho de que los discursos no solo se producen y se reproducen, sino que tambien crean sus modos de ponerse en escena, activan y transforman memorias u olvidos, construyen objetos, disputas y posicionamientos; ademas de esos y otros procesos, los discursos tambien tienen que lidiar con su deterioro, su erosion, el desdibujamiento de sus lineas finas y el debilitamiento de su efectividad para influir en la esfera publica.El analisis de la dimension retorica y las relaciones problematicas entre desacuerdo y verdad resultan centrales para los desafios que enfrenta la transicion hacia el ejercicio de una oposicion politica sin armas por parte de las guerrillas en la Colombia contemporanea.
