The Russian Dagger: Cold War in the Days of the Tsars By Virginia Cowles
2019 | 337 Pages | ISBN: 1793113084 | EPUB | 1 MB
The Russian Dagger tells the dramatic story of Imperialist Russia and its appetite for expansion in Europe during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.Beginning with the reign of the repressive Nicholas I, Virginia Cowles traces the rule of the Romanov dynasty right to the cusp of one of the greatest political conflicts of the twentieth century - the First World War.In an engaging and entertaining style, Virginia Cowles covers Russia's role abroad in the conflict over the Balkan States against an intriguing backdrop of family feuds and revolutionary impulses back home.Bitter family rivalries and assassination attempts abound - including the violent assassinations of Tsar Alexander II and the Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria. Cowles also examines the subversive revolutionary activities which numbered among the many challenges facing the reign of the Russian Tsars.The Russian Dagger shines a light upon the frailty of the Tsarist position at the beginning of the twentieth century, and how Russia's expansionist aspirations led the country to the brink of its own destruction.

The Maze Prison: A Hidden Story of Chaos, Anarchy and Politics By Tom Murtagh
2018 | 832 Pages | ISBN: 1909976504 | PDF | 23 MB
The Maze Prison shows how an establishment built to hold those involved in terrorism, atrocities, murder and allied crimes became a pawn in the partisan conflict that was Northern Ireland. There followed a breakdown of norms, values and control as the last of these shifted from Governors to Ministers, outside officials and even prisoners. This led to the (often random) killing of prison officers and countless allegations, denials and obfuscations, as Prison Rules came into conflict with claims to be treated as prisoners-of-war or be given Special Category status. A social document par excellence, this stark slant on The Troubles and Peace Process cuts through the propaganda and base politics to reveal the truth about the H-Blocks, hunger-strikes, escapes and power struggles. Based on actual records and personal accounts, it challenges myths and legends to warn how easily a community can descend into what the author calls anomie. An invaluable record of 'One of the most dangerous prisons in the world'.
