Download or read book We Go Into Action Today at Noon written by Eamonn Duggan and published by The O'Brien Press Ltd. This book was released on 2021-10-11 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly 2,000 people gave detailed statements to the Bureau of Military History between 1947 and 1957 about their role in Ireland's fight for freedom. The statements are the recollections of many of those who participated in the 1916 Easter Rising and the War of Independence, 1919-1921. Recently released to scholars and researchers, they allow a much broader view of what actually happened in the fateful decade that led to independence from the British Empire. They offer a remarkable window into a tumultuous era in Ireland's modern history when men and women rose up against British rule and demanded independence. The statements examined in the book reflect the views of republican men and women from all facets of society. They were urban and rural dwellers middle and working-class individuals, farmers, labourers and professionals, all of whom, came together in the pursuit of one common goal. Their statements confirm the commitment they gave to the independence cause and are testaments to the courage and determination they displayed in their efforts to achieve a free and independent Ireland. Eamonn Duggan explores the individual contributions of these remarkable people, and what they add to the history we thought we knew. A fascinating view of a vital period in Irish history, from 1913 to Independence.

Book excerpt: Young, vivacious Joanna Bennett desperately wishes to be captain of her own lobstering boat, but despite being the favored daughter of Bennett’s Island’s founding family, she is still just a girl in the eyes of the community, and a girl living off the coast of Maine in the early 20th century is expected to mind the kitchen, not tend to pot buoys. While quietly struggling to find her place on insular Bennett’s Island, one where she could let her bold and opinionated nature shine without shaming her family, Joanna instead finds love when she meets a witty stranger with a sparkling smile just off the mailboat. One whirlwind courtship and wedding later, Joanna finds herself master of her own house, and every aspect of her beloved island seems to reflect her joy. But when the luster begins to wear off and her husband’s dark secrets slowly reveal themselves, Joanna must draw on her determination, resilience, and resourcefulness to keep her family together. This evocative coming-of-age story transports readers to the beautiful and rugged Maine coast, where families must eke their livelihoods from the tempestuous ocean but in return they’re afforded the daily splendor and simple pleasures of island life.

He renews his friendship with Charles Crowder and Linda Thompson, associates from previous summers. He also meets Mike Chandler, a new boy to whom Paul is obviously attracted. The next morning as the four are seated together in the cafeteria, they notice a girl rush in to talk with the director. She is agitated and seems quite worried. Howard, the director, shows concern. Later at the company meeting Howard announces that Lisa, one of the female dancers, has disappeared. Jeff Keene, a new boy, was the last to see her. He walked to the theater with her last night but left her there alone at her request. Paul invites Mike, Linda, and Charles to his apartment that night for a drink. At Pauls apartment Charles reports that the police have found some shoes in the woods near the dorm. The four talk about Lisas disappearance. It is possible that she has been murdered, but Paul thinks no one in the company would do such a thing. Linda, though, thinks that Tom Sneed, the new dorm manager, seems creepy enough. Paul and Mike begin to form a close friendship, but Paul resists the urge to seduce Mike. The next day at rehearsal Charles reports that some campers have found the nude body of a girl who fits the description of Lisa. She has been raped and strangled. Jeff is the only suspect. Paul begins to be jealous of Mike and Linda. Linda, though, doesnt notice. She is concerned about what she thinks is a ghost--a man who suddenly appears at the edge of the woods and then vanishes. Charles believes that everyone is nervous because of the murder and so theyve revived the traditional rumors about the ghost. Charles urges Paul to seduce Mike, but Paul thinks that a spiritual relationship is best. His jealousy of Linda, however, grows. Charles turns the conversation to the murder. He has begun to doubt Jeffs story. Paul still thinks Jeff is innocent. Later Charles rushes to Pauls apartment with the latest news--Lisas clothes have been found in Jeffs car. Even Charles agrees, though, that the clothes must have been planted. Surely Jeff isnt that stupid. Mike is spending more time with Linda, and Paul is convinced that they are having an affair. Later as Paul sits at a table with Jeff and his girlfriend, Jeff desperately asserts his innocence, but Paul suddenly realizes that he is lying about something. Pandemonium breaks out after Howard discovers that one of the cast members has been having sexual relations with one of the young local boys, but this incident eventually leads to the identity of the murderer and the reconcilation of Paul, Linda, and Mike.

Download or read book Shadows at Noon written by Joya Chatterji and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2023-11-21 with total page 881 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking view of South Asian history in the twentieth century that underlines the similarities and intertwined cultures of India and Pakistan “[A] definitive new 20th-century thematic history of the Indian subcontinent that rejects hegemonic conceptions of national ‘difference.’”—Financial Times This radically original and ambitious history of the Indian subcontinent explores the region’s unique twentieth-century history and foregrounds the deep connections, rather than the well-publicized fissures, between the cultures of India and Pakistan. Taking the partitions of British India rather than the two world wars as the century’s inflection points, Joya Chatterji examines how issues of nationalism, internal and external migration, and technological innovation contributed to South Asia’s tumultuous twentieth century. Chatterji weaves together elements of her autobiography and family history; stories of such legendary figures as Tagore, Jinnah, Gandhi, and Nehru; and, in particular, the accounts of the many who were left behind and marginalized in relentless nation-building projects. Chatterji examines the countries’ mirroring patterns in state building, social and cultural life, modes of leisure, consumption, and oppression, and offers a timely course correction to our understanding of the dynamics of South Asian history. It reframes the events of the twentieth century that are continuing to play out in the present day.

Download or read book Noon written by Aatish Taseer and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2013-12-01 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Subtle and haunting, Noon is the story of Rehan Tabassum, a young man who has seen a childhood of uncertainty, and whose vulnerability has rendered him a gaze so keen that it divines easily the shifts around him: his mother and her new husband, the emergence of a dazzling new India, the retreat of the old, muted order of dust and shortages, and the swell of a suppressed people. In this uncompromising yet unexpectedly tender third book, Aatish Taseer maps a difficult period in India and Pakistan, a period of deep upheavals, whose true direction is elusive. By presenting Rehan's journey through lands of sudden wealth and hidden violence, in an atmosphere of political quicksand and moral danger, Taseer brings us into closer contact with a world experiencing convulsive change. Stark, brave, and absolutely compelling, Noon confirms Aatish Taseer as a writer of emotional acuity and great intellectual gift.
