The Lockdown Collection is a compilation of 40 poems written by Barry Jacob, a.k.a. Brian Donohoe, about serious subjects such as Brexit and the Irish lockdown. There are poems dedicated to a hospital cleaner, former U.S. president Donald Trump's mob storming the Capitol, holding the Catholic Church accountable, the North Korean dictator, the Chinese leader, the Arab Spring, social snobbery, and the environment. Less serious subjects include St Patrick's Day going virtual and Mayo never winning an All-Ireland; celebrities such as Conor McGregor, Rory McIlroy and Marcus Rashford. There is a tourism-inspired poem about the Wild Atlantic Way, and one about the Queen's visit, a poem about Ireland as a bankrupt nation reviving its international reputation, and even poems about the poet's pet cat, Ireland's weather and a love poem about Ireland with deeper meaning.This collection of poems was written during the prolonged lockdown in Ireland between December 2020 and March 2021, a very stressful and sad period in Irish life for many people. The poet's main intention is to cheer up and give a psychological lift to an Irish public battered by the COVID-19 pandemic and revive hope for the future.

The grandson of an Indian immigrant and the first Malay commoner to become prime minister of Malaysia, Mahathir Mohamad turned the Muslim-majority Southeast Asian country into one of the developing world's most successful economies. During his 22 years in power he adopted pragmatic economic policies alongside repressive political measures, and showed that Islam was compatible with representative government and modernization. Abrasive and outspoken, Mahathir emerged as a Third World champion and Islamic spokesman by condemning the West, not least for trying to impose liberal democracy and neo-liberal economics on developing nations. By raising living standards and winning international acclaim, he contributed to a sense of national identity, pride and confidence among ethnically diverse Malaysians. But in mixing business and politics, Mahathir encouraged cronyism and failed to prevent the spread of corruption. Authoritarian and impatient, he jailed opponents, sacked rivals and undermined institutions as he pursued his obsession with development.In retirement, he broke a promise to stay out of politics, falling out with his two successors while using all available means to protect his legacy.
Presenting a social history of British crime film, this book focuses on the strategies used in order to address more radical notions surrounding class, politics, sex, delinquency, violence and censorship.

Based on hitherto unused sources in English and Spanish in British and American archives, in this book naval historian Barry Gough and legal authority Charles Borras investigate a secret Anglo-American coercive war against Spain, 1815-1835. Described as a war against piracy at the time, the authors explore how British and American interests – diplomatic and military – aligned to contain Spanish power to the critically influential islands of Cuba and Puerto Rico, facilitating the forging of an enduring but unproclaimed Anglo-American alliance which endures to this day.Due attention is given to United States Navy actions under Commodore David Porter, to this day a subject of controversy. More significantly though, through the juxtaposition of British, American and Spanish sources, this book uncovers the roots of piracy – and suppression– that laid the foundation for the tortured decline of the Spanish empire in the Americas and the subsequent rise of British and American empires, instrumental in stamping out Caribbean piracy for good.

Syria has long presented a serious problem for the Middle East region and U.S. policy. With its mix of competing religious and ethnic groups, radical ideologies, and political repression, it is a 72,000-square-mile time bomb waiting to go off. Yet surprisingly, very little is known about this country and the role it has played in shaping the destiny of the Middle East. In The Truth about Syria, Middle East expert Barry Rubin looks at the critical issues that have made the country the powderkeg of the Middle East and offers an insightful analysis of the effects of recent developments.
