Name: Selected Writings Of William Drennan, Volume Two Subtitle: The United Irish Years, 1791-1798 Author: Drennan, William Editor: Clifford, Brendan Category: United Irish Collection Publisher: Belfast Historical & Educational Society Published: 1998 ISBN: 1 872078 04 4 Contents: The letters which form the core of this book help the reader to imagine the political turmoil of Ireland 200 years ago. The writers were all deeply involved in those events. William Drennan, whose roots were in Belfast, was living in Dublin at this time. He was in the Dublin United Irish Society. His brother-in-law, Sam M'Tier, was very active in the Belfast Society. Martha, wife and sister to United Irishmen, was as active as her circumstances permitted. The letters between these people were much more than family gossip. They were part of the communications network binding the decentralised United Irish Societies together. Drennan and the M'Tiers have news to exchange, and political ideas to discuss, so the letters contain gossip, chit-chat, proposals about how a reform might be achieved, and ideas about tactics. For that generation, politics was a central concern. That means the letters give an unusual insight into what the United Irish movement was really about: it is not historians putting their own gloss on the past?but the past speaking for itself. Perhaps the most interesting problem that continually comes up in the letters is how the idealistic reforming Dissenters are to relate to Catholics. The Glorious Revolution ideology was deeply anti-Catholic, suppressing some liberties in order to develop others and, more important, to preserve the property arrangements made by the Revolution. And—like today?Catholics and Protestants found it difficult to understand each other's world-view. They found common ground in the progressive ideology of the Rights of Man—but difficulties remained. In these letters Drennan talks frankly about such matters in a way he could never have done in public at the time—and so provides insights into the past which are unique. The present volume contains some published poems as well as a 1795 pamphlet by Drennan which was circulated very widely at the time. A substantial section of the M'Tier/Drennan Correspondence is published here for the first time. The present volume is to be followed by two others, containing writings from the preceding Volunteer period, and the subsequent times in which the Act of Union occurred. 220 pp. Index.

Name: Slovak Spring Subtitle: Author: Novomesky, Ladislav Editor: Minahane, John Category: General Publisher: Belfast Historical & Educational Society Published: 2004 ISBN: 1 872078 10 9 Contents: Ladislav Novomesky's poems and literary essays, originally written in Slovak, are published here in English for the first time. Novomesky is a valuable witness of the twentieth century, seen from Central Europe during the key period from the 1920s to the 1970s. He writes, for example, about time flying, things lost, and finding oneself stranded in time and the gambles one might take to try to avoid that fate. The introduction by John Minahane reviews the entire body of his writing, which is presented as 'part of the missing intellectual history of the twentieth century - missing until now in the English-speaking lands'.

Name: Spotlights On Irish History Subtitle: Author: Clifford, Brendan Editor: Category: Irish Collection Publisher: Aubane Historical Society Published: 1997 ISBN: 0 9521081 5 1 Contents: "Spotlights On Irish History" looks at major personalities, movements and events through which Ireland developed from what Pearse called a "mob" into a nation. Brendan Clifford, at a series of meetings held in his native Slieve Luacra, looked over the past from the standpoint of the present. Slieve Luacra is a region in which, amidst all the "revisionist" undermining, the past has held firm enough to make this possible. The book consists of accounts of those meetings, the discussions as well as the opening talks. The participants in those history meetings were not academics doing what they were paid for. They were farmers, workers, business people and teachers who had done their day's work and were at the meetings on the basis of sheer interest. It had not been our intention to cite any press comments in our praise, but as we go to print the "Sunday Business Post", through the pen of Mary Ellen Synon, has made such a flattering comment on the "Aubane Historical Society" that we cannot refrain from quoting it: "I know enough about North Cork to know that the society has just about six active members and none of them historians". Talks given at Duhallow Heritage Centre on?*The Confederation of Kilkenny Battles of Knocknanoss and Knockbrack; *Edmund Burke And The United Irishmen, Their relevance in Ireland today; *John Philpot Curran Of Newmarket; *Daniel O'Connell And Republican Ireland; *The Famine ; *The Irish Civil War, the conflict that shaped the state; *with extra material on Roy Foster's "History" and other matters. 168 pp. Illustrations.

Name: Starving the Germans Subtitle: The Evolution of Britain's Strategy During The First World War Volume 2 (Hardback) Author: Dyas, Eamon Editor: Category: Publisher: Belfast Historical and Educational Society Published: 2020 ISBN: ISBN 978-1-872078-3 Contents: This is the second volume of a Trilogy that examines the manner in which the First World War was fought by Britain and its Allies against the civilians of Germany and the Central Powers and the way in which the outcome of that war distorted the prevailing trajectory of European history. The first volume “Blockading the Germans” explored the way in which Britain as the world’s primary naval power shaped the use of the naval blockade as a weapon against civilians from the time of the Napoleonic Wars to the advent of the First World War. It also dealt with the way which United States’ actions as the main supplier of munitions and financial credits to the Allies compromised its neutrality and made the British pursuit of that war possible. This current volume begins at the point when the United States formally joined the war in April 1917. It shows how, through the use of food embargoes on the northern neutral countries, the United States completed Britain’s food strangulation of Germany and brought misery and death to the civilian populations of those countries in the process. It explains the way in which the terms of the November 1918 Armistice was arbitrarily expanded by the Allies to ensure that Germany was made malleable to the British demand that it accept total responsibility for the war and at the same time hampered its chances of a post-war recovery. It further explains the impact of the Armistice on the food supply mechanism that had been established in the United States to supply its own troops and the Allies during the war. In addition it reveals the way in which the post-Armistice attempts by Herbert Hoover and the American Food Administration to use the American food surplus to feed Europe were thwarted by obstacles place in its path by France and Britain. Finally, the volume reveals Britain’s role in formulating the reparations demanded of Germany in the face of initial American opposition. The volume ends with an examination of the way in which the powers of the Reparations Commission undermined the incipient democratic institutions established in Weimar Germany. Eamon Dyas is a former head of The Times newspaper archive, was on the Executive Committee of the Business Archives Council in England for a number of years, and was Information Officer of the Newspaper Department of the British Library for many years.

Name: The Great Fraud Of 1914-18 Subtitle: Author: Walsh, Pat Editor: Category: General Publisher: Athol Books Published: 2014 ISBN: ISBN 978-0-85034-12 Contents: The Great War of 1914 was Britain's Great War. But it should also be called Britain's Great Fraud on Ireland and the world. When Britain encouraged and then entered the European war that was taking shape in August 1914 it made it into a Great War. It was Great Britain that put the Great in the Great War. That is to say that without Great Britain's participation in it there would have been no Great War. In entering the European war Britain stated its aims in grand universal terms that were idealistic in the extreme. These aims were not only idealistic and unachievable but they were fraudulent. The objective of the Great Fraud was to show to the world that Britain was fighting a good war against an evil that had to be vanquished. The war was proclaimed as being for "civilisation against the Barbarian", for "democracy" against "Prussianism". And it was also supposedly a "war for small nations" for "poor little Belgium" or for "gallant Servia" and for a host of other long forgotten things. But what it came down to was a pulverising of Germany and the taking of its trade and markets in what was a traditional Balance of Power war catastrophically invested with a great moral mission. The Fraud that was perpetrated on Ireland and the world, concerning the character of the war Britain proclaimed itself to be fighting, was produced in order to convince any doubters, at home and abroad, about the rightfulness of it. These reasons were also later useful in enlisting the cannon fodder necessary to see the job through. And when Britain's Great War did not prove great enough to achieve its objectives and the United States had to be procured as an ally to complete the job the Great Fraud was both perpetuated and enhanced. A massive propaganda effort was launched that not only coloured the settlement of the war to the detriment of Europe and beyond but also created the myths that mystify understanding of it to this day. And so vast armies were recruited for the waging of the war and millions of people were killed in it, including tens of thousands of Irishmen who enlisted in the British Army to fight, inspired by the professed ideals of establishing 'Democracy' and the 'Rights of Small Nations' universally, and especially in Ireland. Britain's Great War and the Home Rulers decision to take part in it had momentous consequences for Ireland. Out of it came the fall of the Home Rule Party and of 'Imperial Ireland' as a result of Britain failing to win the quick victory that was expected. As well, in revulsion against the murderous British swindle, there came the rise of the Irish democracy and the Irish Republic. Extracts: Part 1.
