Name: Karl Lueger And The Twilight Of Imperial Vienna Subtitle: The Life And Work Of A Municipal Socialist And Precursor Of Christian Democracy Author: Editor: Clifford, Angela Category: German-Irish Collection Publisher: Belfast Historical & Educational Society Published: 2002 ISBN: 1 872078 07 9 Contents: Karl Lueger's achievements were unique. He discredited the Austrian Free Marketeers in the closing decades of the 19th century, built a popular base for himself, established a new kind of European politics, and modernised and socialised the City of Vienna in his years as Mayor, 1897 to 1910 (when he died). Yet he is hardly known outside Austria. The reason for this is that after 1945 he was travestied into a forerunner of Adolf Hitler by slipshod historians and propagandists of the victorious powers. In fact Hitler, who lived in Vienna during his Mayoralty, admired him as a social reformer but rejected his social philosophy because it was not racist. It would be as reasonable to represent the influential British economist, J. M. Keynes, as Hitler's forerunner on the ground that Keynes's economic theories were first put into effect in Nazi Germany. When Nazi Germany took over Austria, Lueger's successors in the leadership of the Christian Social party, which he founded, were arrested and sent to Concentration Camps along with the leaders of the Social Democracy. In the generation after the Second World War the stability of Western Europe was chiefly the work of the Christian Democracy, of which Lueger's Christian Social movement was the pioneer. This book, composed of extracts from a number of biographies of Lueger translated by Philip O'Connor, seeks to introduce Mayor Lueger to the English-speaking world—which has plenty to learn about community politics. An introduction by Angela Clifford takes up perceptions of Lueger in the context of her own Viennese and Palestinian background, and Councillor Mark Langhammer—who also has links with a lost Middle Europe—supplies a Preface.

Name: Kilmichael Ambush Commemoration Subtitle: Address On 94th Anniversary Author: Lane, Jack Editor: Category: Publisher: Aubane Historical Society Published: 2014 ISBN: 978-1-903497-85-2 Contents: Anyone who takes an interest in our history will know that there is an ongoing debate about the War of Independence and it is appropriate that this Ambush has been central to this debate. The Ambush has been the subject of detailed discussion and every minute and every blow of the Ambush has been analysed, researched, interpreted and misinterpreted ad nauseam. You might say there has been a concerted attempt to ambush Kilmichael and the reputation of Tom Barry but it has been repulsed. Extracts: The fact is that the War of Independence has been fought all over again in recent years, without guns this time, fortunately, but a no less significant war because of that. It is just a different kind of war. In the context of this new ‘war’ events such as this commemoration here and similar commemorations elsewhere have a vital importance because they present opportunities for putting the record straight about the 1916 Rising and the War of Independence. Opportunities for doing so are few and far between these days. You will very rarely find such opportunities in forums such as the media, in academia, in the educational system and in 'history books' and in mainstream political parties. And when the mainstream politicians commemorate such events they give the distinct impression that they are simply going through the motions. In those forums you will get everything from outright condemnation of the Rising and the War of Independence to an acknowledgment of these events but with all sorts of reservations, qualifications and regrets and a negative tone throughout. The end result is to seek to give us a bad conscience about the whole thing.

Name: King Mahon's Rock Subtitle: A Monument and its History Author: Editor: Category: Irish collection Publisher: Kilcorney Historical Society Published: 2014 ISBN: 978-1-903497-81-4 Contents: Published on the occasion of the unveiling of the monument at Mushera near Millstreet, Co.

The current Millennium Anniversary celebrations of the Battle of Clontarf have brought him and his achievements to our attention once again. However, if the event we are commemorating here today had not happened, Brian Boru would have been but a footnote in our history and the Battle of Clontarf might never have happened.

Name: Labour In The West Of Ireland Subtitle: Author: Cunningham, John Editor: Category: Irish Collection Publisher: Athol Books Published: 1995 ISBN: 0 85034 075 6 Contents: Drawing on police intelligence reports, contemporary accounts and government publications, John Cunningham produces a comprehensive and compelling narrative on the condition of labour in the counties of Connacht in the decades before World War I. He examines the working conditions of herdsmen, dressmakers, dock labourers, shop assistants and other groups of workers in the province, before describing their attempts to organise themselves, their strikes and other struggles. John Cunningham uncovers the first faltering political steps of rural and urban labour, detects an emerging class consciousness, and considers the reaction of political and religious establishments to the nascent labour movement.

Name: Lord Downshire And The United Irishmen Subtitle: A Selection From The Downshire Papers, 1793-1799 Author: Editor: Clifford, Brendan Category: United Irish Collection Publisher: Athol Books Published: 1998 ISBN: 0 85034 082 9 Contents: "Lord Downshire And The United Irishmen" is a selection from the Downshire Papers for the years 1793 to 1799, the years that saw the rise and suppression of the United Irish movement, and the first steps in the move to merge the Parliament of the Irish Protestant Ascendancy into the British Parliament. The Hill/Downshire family at Hillsborough was the chief aristocratic family in County Down, and was one of the pillars of the British state constructed after the Glorious Revolution of 1688. The Papers reproduced here consist chiefly of letters sent to Lord Downshire, about the growth of the United Irish movement in the County and the measures taken against it. The core of this book consists of 86 of those letters, which are now published for the first time. To this is added a review of the militaristic, slave-owning, aristocratic state created by the Glorious Revolution in the name of Liberty, which led in Ireland to all that is conveyed by the words Seventeen Ninety-Eight. With an historical review of the British Constitution by Brendan Clifford. 120 pp. Index to letters. Extracts: No extra online material at this time. Errata: No errata available at this time.

Name: Lord Hankey: How We Planned The Great War Subtitle: Issues 19-20 Author: Walsh, Pat Editor: Category: Periodical Publisher: Problems Of Communism Committee Published: 2015 ISBN: 1365-7887 Contents: Lord Maurice Hankey gave unparalleled service to the State he served over more than three decades. He was much more than just an Imperial Senior Civil Servant. It would be no exaggeration to say that he kept the British State together over a generation. ‘The Supreme Command’ (1961) by Hankey, though largely ignored today, is the most complete inside description of Britain’s Great War on Germany. It contains details of the planning for that war by the person who oversaw it, coordinated it and put it into operation from August 1914. Extracts: There are no extracts at this time. Errata: There are no errata at this time. Price: £5.00 Postage Option: It is not possible for us to trade using only one postage rate.
