The Secret Army The IRA

The Secret Army The IRA

The Secret Army is the definitive work on the Irish Republican Army. It is an absorbing account of a movement that has had a profound effect on the shaping of the modern Irish state. The secret army in the service of the invisible Republic has had a powerful effect on Irish events over the past twenty-five years. These hidden corridors of power interest Bell and inspired him to spend more time with the IRA than many volunteers spend in it. This book is the culmination of twenty-five years of work and tens of thousands of hours of interviews. Bell's unique access to the leadership of the republican movement and his contacts with all involved British politicians Irish politicians policemen arms smugglers and others committed or opposed to the IRA explain why The Secret Army is the book on the subject. This edition represents a complete revision and includes vast quantities of new information. Bell's book gives us vital insight into our times as well as Irish history. This edition of The Secret Army contains six new chapters that bring the history of this clandestine organization up to date. They are: The First Decade The Nature of the Long War 1979-1980; Unconventional Conflict The Hunger Strikes January 1980-October 3 1981; The Protracted Struggle September 1981-January 1984; War Politics and the Split January 1984-December 1986; The Troubles as Institution 1987-1990: and The Armed Struggle Transformed 1991-1996 The End Game. In his new introduction Bell reflects on his decades of research the experiences he has had and the people he has met during his extensive visits to Ireland. | The Secret Army The IRA

International Rivalry and Secret Diplomacy in East Asia 1896-1950

International Rivalry and Secret Diplomacy in East Asia 1896-1950

East Asia was a major focus of struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War of 1945 to 1991 with multiple hot and cold conflicts in China Korea and Vietnam. The struggle for predominance in East Asia however largely predated the Cold War as this book shows with many examples of the United States and Russia/the Soviet Union working to exercise and increase control in the region. The book focuses on secret treaties 26 of them signed from the mid-1890s through 1950 when secret agreements between China and the USSR including several concerning the Chinese Eastern Railway gave Russia greater control over Manchuria and Outer Mongolia. One of the most important was negotiated in 1945 when Stalin signed the Sino-Soviet Friendship Treaty with Chiang Kai-shek and the Chinese Nationalists that included a secret protocol granting the Soviet Navy sea control over the Manchurian littorals. This secret protocol excluded the US Navy from landing Nationalist troops at the major Manchurian ports thereby guaranteeing the Chinese Communist victory in Northeast China; from Manchuria the Chinese Communists quickly spread south to take all of Mainland China. To a large degree therefore this formerly undiscussed secret diplomacy set the underlying conditions for the Cold War in East Asia. | International Rivalry and Secret Diplomacy in East Asia 1896-1950

Notes for a Decolonial Political Theology

Notes for a Decolonial Political Theology

At the crossroads of ethics poetics and politics this innovative book outlines a series of notes to decolonize political theology. The author proposes counter-hegemonic forms of reading which deconstruct domination by embracing fragility. The book opens with a diapason of prejudicelessness as a decolonial key focusing on prejudices that hinder critical attention to a colonial political theology that perpetuates hatred. The first set of notes aims to ‘de-orientalize the Semite’ by reading midrashic and biblical texts in the present context the second seeks to decolonize language by exploring the power of translation and the third ponders decolonial theo-logics to outline a justice of the other. Connecting a number of fields authors and epistemologies the book addresses the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and brings together Jewish thought continental philosophy and Latin American perspectives. It engages with a range of thinkers including Benjamin and Arendt and features an interview with Enrique Dussel. This is an important methodological proposal for interdisciplinary and intercultural political theology and a valuable contribution towards rethinking the paradigm of political theology beyond its Eurocentric and colonialist premises. | Notes for a Decolonial Political Theology

The Secret Symmetry of Maimonides and Freud

The Secret Symmetry of Maimonides and Freud

The Secret Symmetry of Maimonides and Freud presents the parallels between The Guide of the Perplexed and The Interpretation of Dreams considering how Maimonides might be perceived as anticipating Freud’s much later work. The Secret Symmetry of Maimonides and Freud suggests that humankind has secrets to hide and does so by using common mechanisms and embedding revealing hints for the benefit of the true reader. Using a psychoanalytic approach in tandem with literary criticism and an in-depth assessment of Judaica Szajnberg demonstrates the similarities between these two towering Jewish intellectual pillars. Using concepts of esoteric literature from the Torah and later texts this book analyses their ideas on concealing and revealing to gain a renewed perspective on Freud’s view of dreams. Throughout Szajnberg articulates the challenges of reading translated works and how we can address the pitfalls in such translations. The book is a vital read for psychoanalysts in training and practice as well as those interested in Judaica the history of ideas and early medieval studies.

The Russian Secret Police Muscovite Imperial Russian and Soviet Political Security Operations 1565–1970

The Russian Secret Police Muscovite Imperial Russian and Soviet Political Security Operations 1565–1970

This book first published in 1970 is an important study of Russia’s security services from their earliest years to the mid-twentieth century. Ronald Hingley demonstrates how the secret police acted both under the Tsars and under Soviet rule as a key instrument of control exercised over all fields of Russian life by an outstandingly authoritarian state. He analyses the Tsarist Third Section and Okhrana and their role in countering Russian revolutionary groups and examines the Soviet agencies as they assumed the roles of policeman judge and executioner. This masterly evaluation of Russian and Soviet secret police makes extensive use of hard-to-find Russian documentary sources and is the first such research that studies Russian political security (Muscovite Imperial and Soviet) as a whole. | The Russian Secret Police Muscovite Imperial Russian and Soviet Political Security Operations 1565–1970

Differential Equations with Applications and Historical Notes

Differential Equations with Applications and Historical Notes

Fads are as common in mathematics as in any other human activity and it is always difficult to separate the enduring from the ephemeral in the achievements of one’s own time. An unfortunate effect of the predominance of fads is that if a student doesn’t learn about such worthwhile topics as the wave equation Gauss’s hypergeometric function the gamma function and the basic problems of the calculus of variations—among others—as an undergraduate then he/she is unlikely to do so later. The natural place for an informal acquaintance with such ideas is a leisurely introductory course on differential equations. Specially designed for just such a course Differential Equations with Applications and Historical Notes takes great pleasure in the journey into the world of differential equations and their wide range of applications. The author—a highly respected educator—advocates a careful approach using explicit explanation to ensure students fully comprehend the subject matter. With an emphasis on modeling and applications the long-awaited Third Edition of this classic textbook presents a substantial new section on Gauss’s bell curve and improves coverage of Fourier analysis numerical methods and linear algebra. Relating the development of mathematics to human activity—i. e. identifying why and how mathematics is used—the text includes a wealth of unique examples and exercises as well as the author’s distinctive historical notes throughout.

Israeli Secret Services

Israeli Secret Services

The Israeli Institute for Intelligence and Special Services the Mossad is pobably the best known of the world's intelligence services one of the most sespected and certainly one of the most intriguing. However despite its fame the available literature other than Hebrew is limited and scattered amongst a variety of subject areas because the tentacles of the Mossad are similarly varied. The aim of this volume is to document the range of English language material available on ±«f Mossad from its pre-official origins in Europe during the Second World War to ±e present period of the Middle East peace process. The organization had its origins in the aftermath of the Holocaust being the agency responsible for organizing the illegal Jewish immigration into Palestine before becoming officially constituted in 1951. Since its formation the Mossad has been intimately involved in each of the significant events in Israel's history including actions against its Arab neighbors the hunting of wanted Nazis spectacular actions such as the raid on Entebbe to free the hostages counter-terrorist activities and high technology espionage against friend and foe alike. This bibliography will be of interest to researchers covering intelligence activities and to students scholars and librarians interested in the history of Israel and its relations with its Arab neighbors. The early material on the Mossad will also be of special concern to students of the Holocaust and its aftermath. | Israeli Secret Services

Siamese State Ceremonies With Supplementary Notes

Siamese State Ceremonies With Supplementary Notes

To students of Indian Culture interested in tracing the influence of India in the institutions of her Cultural Colonies as also to Anthropologists the Religious Festivals and Court Ceremonies which still remain the most characteristic features of Siamese social life offer an important field for research. Yet the subject has been little touched by scholars. Therefore a pioneer work of this nature can only be regarded as an attempt to lay a foundation for further studies and the author hopes that other students—particularly those Siamese possessed of an extensive knowledge of their own literature and customs—may be encouraged to endeavour to fill those gaps which remain in our knowledge of most of the Siamese State Ceremonies.
