Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He was the son of a hereditary peer, one of the wealthiest men in Britain. His childhood was privileged; at Cambridge, he flourished. At the age of 21, he founded The Film Society, and became a pioneering standard-bearer for film as art. He was a collaborator of Alfred Hitchcock, rescuing The Lodger and later producing his ground-breaking British thrillers The Man Who Knew Too Much, The 39 Steps, Secret Agent and Sabotage. He directed comedies from stories by H.G. Wells, worked in Hollywood with Eisenstein, and made documentaries in Spain during the Civil War. He lobbied for Trotsky to be granted asylum in the UK, and became a leading propagandist for the anti-fascist and Communist cause. Under the nose of MI5, who kept him under constant surveillance, he became a secret agent of the Comintern and a Soviet spy. He was a man of high intelligence and moral concern, yet he was blind to the atrocities of the Stalin regime. This is the remarkable story of Ivor Montagu, and of the burgeoning cinematic culture and left-wing politics of Britain between the wars. It is a story of restless energy, generosity of spirit, creative achievement and intellectual corruption.

Download or read book Augustine and the Catechumenate written by William Harmless and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 2014-12-30 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As one of the most influential thinkers in Christian history, St. Augustine (354–430) had a flair for teaching and meditated deeply on the mysteries of the human heart. This study examines a little-known side of his career: his work as a teacher of candidates for baptism. ln the revised edition of this seminal book, both the text and notes have been revised to better reflect the state of contemporary scholarship on Augustine, liturgical studies, and the catechumenate, both ancient and modern. This edition also includes new findings from some of the recently discovered sermons of Augustine and incorporates new perspectives from recent research on early Christian biblical interpretation, debates on the Trinity, the evolution of the liturgy, and much more. This reconstruction of Augustine’s catechumenate provides fresh perspectives on the day-to-day life of the early church and on the vibrancy and eloquence of Augustine the preacher and teacher.

Download or read book Judgement Call written by Tom Reilly and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2022-02-23 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once again, Reilly has penned a fast-moving nail-biting thriller. The storyline takes place in modern-day Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, during the occupation of the US and coalition forces amidst of the Trump peace negotiations with the Taliban and the Ashraf Ghani Government, for the planned withdrawal of all US forces by the end of 2021. Jacky Evans, an up-and-coming CIA agent at the age of twenty-six, had not gone unnoticed by her superiors at Langley and when a vacancy arose as the result of the mysterious disappearance of Meg Rennie, the Deputy Director of the CIA in Afghanistan, she was the perfect candidate. Having gone through a difficult relationship, it was the ideal career change and an exciting new challenge in a foreign country, and Jacky eagerly accepted the promotion. Was Rennie still alive or in captivity? No terrorist organization had claimed responsibility as yet, and the CIA was at a loss. The advent of the FBI at the direction of the President to bring the case to an early close, only added fuel to the fire with the CIA Director Jack Ross, and the worst was yet to come for Evans, caught in a web of illegal gunrunning, the opium drug cartel, the Mafia, death, destruction, and murder commonplace. The unexpected twists and turns will keep the reader hypnotized in search of the answers, and what happens in the next chapter. An exciting thriller not to be missed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FROM EXCITING AUTHOR OF LGBT+ PARANORMAL ROMANCE, S.J. COLES Vampires are attempting to integrate into human society. When Alec MacCarthy first meets a &‘haemophile' in the flesh, it's not the obvious dangers that frighten him. Alec MacCarthy, Lord of Aviemore and largely-forgotten descendent of a once-proud family line, keeps the wolf from the door of the crumbling family mansion by restoring classic cars. He leaves the real world alone and wishes nothing more than for it to return the favor. But in a reality where haemophiles—still colloquially known as vampires, despite the publicity campaigns—have come out of hiding and are attempting to integrate into human society, the real world is rapidly becoming a disrupted and conflicted mess that threatens to trouble even Alec in his remote Scottish hideaway. When he unwittingly attends a Blood Party to please a friend, he has his first meeting with one of these mysterious and dangerous beings. Terje is like nothing he has ever encountered before...literally. His reactions are as troublesome as they are undeniable. Alec's snap decision to help the haemophile rather than sample his sense-heightening and addictive blood sets them both on a path that will lead them into a tangled web of intrigue with consequences that will change their lives—and the world—forever.

Download or read book Pax Britannica British Counterinsurgency In Northern Ireland 1969 1982 written by Montgomery McFate and published by Wilberforce Codex. This book was released on 2014-12-22 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: British forces conducted operations short of war in Northern Ireland for twenty-five years, yet they were unable to defeat the Provisional Irish Republican Army (PIRA). In this heretofore unpublished dissertation from 1994, McFate identifies how certain cultural, legal, and political factors contributed to the longevity of violence in Northern Ireland. Viewing counterinsurgency as a self-reproducing cultural system with its own complex logic, McFate argues that limitations on violence prescribed by the counterinsurgency principle of minimum force paradoxically resulted in a very high degree of sustainability of conflict. Certain other factors—such as emergency security legislation, reverence of military competence, and geo-strategic compression of violence within a cordon sanitaire—enabled normalization and reproduction of the conflict. In opposition to this order, the 1981 Republican hungerstrikes used the silence of the body to incriminate the state, 'embodying' a resistance to the war system of counterinsurgency.

Download or read book Competing Voices from World War II in Europe written by Harold J. Goldberg and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2010-03-23 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Obviously, there are many books written about World War II—but very few of them present 'competing voices'. Written for college-bound high-school students, first- and second-year undergraduates and general readers of military history, Competing Voices from World War II in Europe highlights the different perspectives and views of all belligerents in the military arena, as well as describing the impact of the war on daily life. The book begins in 1939 (with the invasion of Poland) and ends in 1945 (with Germany's surrender). However, an introductory chapter puts the war in perspective by examining key events preceding the invasion of Poland, and a concluding chapter looks at the controversy surrounding the Nuremberg Trials after the end of hostilities. Though well-known, the main events of the war often remain controversial, and minor events are still relatively unexplored. Though it is often assumed that Allied victory was inevitable, and that all the Allies worked together in a seamless fashion, this book provides evidence that contradicts these basic concepts. Presented with directly reported sources, together with all the contextual information, readers will be able to develop their own opinions about events such as the Munich Conference, the defeat of France, the debate over a second front, the D-Day events of 1944, the development of Soviet-American relations throughout the war and the origins of the Cold War.
