1916: The Irish Rebellion (Hardcover-Used) by Morgan Llywelyn Ned Halloran has lost both his parents, and almost his own life, to the sinking of the Titanic, and has lost his sister to America. Determined to keep what little he has, he returns to Ireland and enrolls at Saint Enda's school in Dublin. Saint Enda's headmaster is the renowned scholar and poet, Patrick Pearse - who is soon to gain greater and undying fame as a rebel and patriot. Ned becomes totally involved with the growing revolution...and the sacrifices it will demand. Meanwhile, in America, his sister feels her own urge toward freedom, both for her native Ireland and herself. Kathleen too becomes involved in the larger struggle, as America's role in the Irish fight for freedom escalates. The novel examines the Irish fight for freedom, which parallels in so many ways America's own bid for independence. For the first time, it gives us a look at the heroic women who were willing to fight and die beside their men for the sake of the future. Above all, 1916 is the story of the valiant patriots who, for a few unforgettable days, held out against the might of empire to realize an impossible dream. Used book in very good condition.

Charlie Wilson's War (Softcover-Used) by George Crile The story of a bachelor congressman from Texas, Charlie Wilson whose fun loving exterior masked an extraordinary political mind and a passion for the underdog. In the early 1980's , the underdogs were the Afghan "freedom fighters" or mujahideen, whose country had been invaded by the Russians. Encouraged by his longtime friend, patron and sometimes lover, Joanne Herring, Wilson partnered with CIA agent Gust Avrakotos in an outrageous scheme to funnel billions of dollars of aid to the mujahideen, making it possible for the Afghans to defeat the Soviet forces. A compelling account of the last battle of the Cold War, this incredible tale is the key to understanding two of the most important events of our time-the sudden collapse of the Soviet Union and the rise of militant Islam.
